This team is better than it has played. I got the news the morning after I watched the Predators beat the Red Wings while visiting family in Nashville, and it may have delayed my transition to being a Predators fan.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, Bruce!Christopherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18070275323111075325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-47172009002431744492007-11-23T07:09:48.209-05:002007-11-23T07:09:48.209-05:00Excellent article. I have been saying for a good while that I don't know of any coach better suited to take this team through the dark period that was after the sell-off during the 2003-2004 season. In that respect, Hanlon did an excellent job. Once the talent started to develop and gel, and other significant pieces were brought in from the outside, Glen seemed ill-equipped to deal with greater expectations. I think he'll be a great assistant somewhere, and wish him the very best.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, Boudreau can turn this thing around. His track record seems to indicate that he'll be a success. We'll get our first glimpse in a couple hours.Stevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03810253723350815305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-43781054178456661442007-11-23T01:56:01.140-05:002007-11-23T01:56:01.140-05:00Right on I agree.usually frustrated caps fanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04028759195766716450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-5191329918505452242007-11-23T01:55:30.860-05:002007-11-23T01:55:30.860-05:00Right on.

I hope he turns out to be good enough to earn the full time coaching position.Smittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-68829222512303716892007-11-22T23:04:42.477-05:002007-11-22T23:04:42.477-05:00Great post.<BR/><BR/>Hanlon's a class act and will land on his feet.<BR/><BR/>Boudreau's got plenty to do and to prove but he seems undaunted. <BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving.Focalitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-88445231084831152652007-11-22T22:45:27.302-05:002007-11-22T22:45:27.302-05:00Those pictures <A HREF="http://capsblueline.blogspot.com/2007/11/who-didnt-see-this-coming.html" REL="nofollow">look familiar</A>.<BR/><BR/>I agree with smitty.
