- BOMBE à Edmonton!!!!!!
- Selon TSN...
- Dave Tippett sera CONGÉDIÉ la semaine prochaine...
- Après le match contre les Sénateurs d'Ottawa le 10 janvier..
- Et selon le réseau ontarien..
- Ce ne sera NI Mike Babcock..ni Claude Julien...
- Mais bien l'adjoint Glen Gulutzan ou le coach de la AHL, Jay Woodcroft
Ken Holland the GM — it’s important to note in all of his years in Detroit he never made an (in-season) coaching change. I’ve talked to a lot of sources in the league who don’t know what Ken Holland is going to do, but if he does make a move, January 10th is their next game, they play the Ottawa Senators. If they lose to the Senators, there will be a lot of pressure from fans and that would be the time to do it as they have 10 days before their next game. If they do make a change, I get the sense the Oilers wouldn’t go for one of the re-treads on the market like a Claude Julien who would be looking for term. Instead, look for them to promote either Glen Gulutzan, he’s an assistant on the staff, obviously has head coaching experiences or Jay Woodcroft who is running their AHL team right now. But it’s definitley an inflection point in Edmonton right now. Everyone in the league is curious about what will happen here. The other thing on Tippett: it’s the last year of his contract. If they don’t go far in the playoffs, you can definitely expect a new coach behind the bench next year.
