Awesome!

Well it makes sense since he won't be coaching a NHL team next season

/I suppose you could also make the argument that he hasn't been coaching a NHL team this season either.

This isn't for the Olympics though...right? RIGHT? No way it is.

They just announced they made a minor mistake.

They meant to say Mr. Socko will be the head coach, not Joe Sacco.

Who knows pix, if he does a great job, he might get the nod.

/Just for the upcoming IIHF World Championship tourney for now.

Well, that is one way to keep my expectations in check.

Well...that I'm...not as mad about. I just see the pedigree in the NHL w/ coaches and think Sacco is wayyy down that list. But for a junior championship? Getting an NHL coach is a nice get...even if he'll soon be a former NHL coach.
