I'm just not a big fan of headcases behind the bench ;) <BR/><BR/>When you're a player and a headcase, it can work in your favor b/c you can take the game in your hands and change it. With a coach, it's tougher to have the sort of impact in an individual game that will satiate your intensity.<BR/><BR/>If that makes any sense at all.Shane Girouxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09749726552751076600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-14943872408037413512008-05-13T21:02:00.463-06:002008-05-13T21:02:00.463-06:00Shane, wouldn't Patrick Roy be perfect for the position?

Dineen would by my second choice but he's still a little light on coaching experience for my tastes.<BR/><BR/>More on McLellan: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080311/SPORTS05/803110382Dariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03566771552154471276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-62086803034720466942008-05-13T10:34:49.134-06:002008-05-13T10:34:49.134-06:00No doubt. He's said all the right things so far and appears to do all the right things as well. <BR/><BR/>I found it a bit odd in Frei's interview that McLellan would say "I really like the way the Detroit Red Wings play" rather than "I like the way we play." <BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just being conspiratorial but it seems he's already separating himself from the team to a certain extent in preparation to try and move up. Like Frei said, it's clear he's prepared himself for this sort of interview and it's obviously something he wants.<BR/><BR/>Nothing like an up-and-coming "go get em!" style coach who has already seen what it takes to win.Shane Girouxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09749726552751076600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448603083409761259.post-21949022700310429342008-05-13T10:26:56.753-06:002008-05-13T10:26:56.753-06:00"McLellan is in charge of the Red Wings' highly efficient power play and the Wings' forwards"<BR/><BR/>that's all I needed.
