Ok its been 15 days since the Anaheim Ducks were eliminated in the 4th straight Game 7 lost at home after a 3-2 series lead. This time against the Nashville Predators, a team with neither the franchise history nor the market size of the previous Game 7 defeats. The team advanced one round before these playoffs.
Two days later Bruce Boudreau was relived of his head coaching duties . Right away I thought General Manager Bob Murray could have promoted Paul Maclean and been done with it. The longer the Ducks go without hiring a head coach the more I think Murray is waiting on news from Staples Center with regards to that. I still think it will come down between Maclean and Travis Green(who is must be coming across like the hot, young candidate). My hope is if Murray hires someone with no NHL coaching experience he finds a way to keep MacLean or Yawney as an assistant coach. With the latest news of a Luke Richardson interview, Would MaClean be happy with a role reversal from Ottawa?
The Bottom line who will be the next coacch in Anaheim. WHO KNOWS???
