In that regard, the Sharks will look for a different approach. A head coach that can best take advantage of the size, speed, and chemistry contained on one of the most talented lineups in the NHL. A head coach who can maintain the up-tempo, entertaining style of play, and one who can translate that style into an intense playoff environment.

That coach... Barry Melrose.

Oh, good lord no. We'd be better off with Pat Quinn (and before anyone asks: Pat Quinn: Oh, good lord, no. Why? He's lousy with younger players. I don't want to see any "old school" coach, I want one that knows how to deal with the modern, younger hockey player).

Not only doesn't Melrose qualify on those levels, he hasn't coached at any level for how long? And I never really was impressed with his coaching in the first place.

thank god Keenan is under contract, or people would be suggesting he be the next coach...

Now, is this the time when the Sharks reward Roy Sommer for his work down in Worcester? I think we could do a lot worse than Quenville, and he's suddenly available...
