In a barely related Denver Post article from early May, which was
tossing McLellan out as a possible choice for the Avs headcoaching
position, McLellan said the following:
"So I'd like to coach a high-tempo, fast, puck-possession type team."

So far so good.

You think Todd McLellan has been running a clever and decade-long
scheme to get himself appointed the head coach of SJ?

Hey, he's always touting Scotty Bowman as a great coach and then we hire a
Detroit assistant coach?

I think I smell a conspiracy.

I turned the job down because they wouldn't lower Tank temperature to
50 degrees. :-)

The new coach may have potential. Personally, I am glad they didn't
hire a retread.

What a relief; no retread. A good balance of hunger and experience...
and he will bring more offense. I like it.

.... and he has the Detroit philosophy built into him! Sounds like a
great move to me - a Detroit assistant was one of my suggestions a long
time ago.

Not much other than his bio on the Sharks site, and other places. But
I like the choice. As I recall, RW was already onboard when DW was
hired, so this is actually the first coach DW has hired. I think its
a good one.

Next job: Sign Campbell.

I like the choice too, and probably much cheaper than a retread,
hopefully saving money to sign Campbell. I suppose they go into the
draft with Marleau as at least potential trade material, and go from
there.

Actually... all is good until I read his quote: "From the first moment
Doug called to the moment he offered the job, I felt comfortable."

he already talks like a shark.... being "comfortable"? man that's a
bad c word to use to us sharks fans....

Good point. But, we'll have to see what he does, not says.
