Sharks, McLellan agree to part ways - Article - TSN

 

[dash]

He won't be out of a job long.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Mike Babcock is on everyone's list, but if I were the Flyers, this might be the most attainable out of all the coaches available

 

[dash]

Not an official job, but McLellan is coaching Canada at the World Hockey Championships. If I'm Todd Nelson, I don't think I'm feeling very secure in my cuurent job.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Once again, turn away Shanny.

 

[tducey]

He'll have a NHL job within the next week or 2.

 

[RP-29]

Is there an early Vegas line on McLellan leading a team to the playoffs next year while the Sharks draft top 10 again?

He won't be out of a job long.

He will be heading to Philly very soon.

Best move was for McClellan to get the hell out of San Jose. It is only going to get worse there and he'll look worse in the process. He was already made the scapegoat in some ways last years. Problem with McClellan is he doesn't have the balls (or cred) to stand up to the vets too much. Patrick Marleau has no accountability and never has. Marleau is more interested in the next episode of Downton Abbey than winning a cup in San Jose. Never has he sat in the box and bumped to the 3rd line until late this year (when McClellan knew he was leaving anyways). This team has a apathetic owner sitting over in Germany and fattening up on schnitzel who seems not to care about winning much. Long days ahead in San Jose and I am a Sharks fan. We are going to need one of those Comedy GOLD out of San Jose threads next year if not already.

Wow. You could certainly exchange "Toronto" for "San Jose" and "Leafs" for "Sharks" and pretty well have the same analysis.

Ipso facto, McLellan will be the next coach of TOR. (J/K BBB)

May he and Edmonton last a thousand years together.

Or at least as long as the last (Third) thousand year Reich.

Do the Leafs have their own version of Patrick Marleau? I think Marleau's goal is to go an entire career without a mark on his face or a knocked out tooth. Contrast that to Mike Ricci (my favorite Shark) who got high sticked 3 times in one game drawing blood a few years ago. Marleau deserves the the Lady Byng award until he retires.

I think McClellan ends up in Philly. Maybe the Sharks can land Babcock. Sharks need a GM and a coach.

Absolutely. Phil Kessel is the first that comes to mind.

Phil usually enjoys a fine Marleau with what he's caught fishing...

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

P.S. If anyone hires McClellan they better make sure he doesn't bring his pet monkey Jay Woodcroft to the bench with him at his next job. That is part of any deal. No pet monkey coaching the offense and power play again. Even Larry Robinson when he got hired and went to his first practice, saw Woodcraft and said "son...get me a cup of coffee...cream and sugar". He had to be later informed the kid was a coach not an errand boy. Robinson still must be wondering wtf was going behind that bench the past two years. Team has an errand boy running the pp...no wonder things fell apart here.
