Initially today i planned on writing some kind of preview for the Stanley Cup finals but then the Av's go and announce that Tony Granato is to be their new head coach. So i figured i should pass comment on that first, the SCF can wait until tomorrow or Saturday am.
I can't really understand this move, it seemed like the Avs hierarchy had taken a bold step to change things when they didn't renew Q's contract. Granato has a good solid record in coaching and i take nothing away from him in the slightest, i just expected more from the Avalanche.
At least let the finals play out and talk to guys like Mclellan. There appears to be plenty of options out there, but what do i know? I do know that going back 6 years isn't the answer. It appears that the avs need to change things in the organisation. Get the team playing like a team, health and conditioning, basic tactics and strategies. Is a person, a key person, from the previous organisation the right man for the job?
Only time will tell but i would've like to have seen a whole fresh coaching team come in and build this team with their exciting young stars and a smattering of experienced veterans, more to come i am sure.
