I wonder if they’re going to need a TV camera crew with make-up when he is running practices? After all, he’s been in front of the camera for the “Making The Cut” show and probably gotten used to that.
Hmmmmm.Well I guess after a disappointing year the Flamers needed a tougher and hard nosed coach. He does have a Stanley Cup and tons of experience, so I do believe he will be an upgrade in the coaching department. I still dislike the guy and this give me the chance to do so even more.
I would not say it’s a upgrade. Keenan is a short term fix at best. He might be able to motivate the Flames next season, but his tirades and “Iron” Mike persona will grow tiresome in a hurry. Then the Flames will be back looking for another coach.
Great news for Canuckle heads, the guy has wreaked more teams then he’s helped, look for the blockbuster trade Bertuzzi for Kipper and the Moose being called up for their next captain
Yeah if you’ve been planning a move to Calgary, the next six months would be the right time to go, there’s going to be some prime real estate up for grabs at bargain basement prices as more than a few flames head for the hills…
I am not a flames fan, but I really believe they have one of the best built teams in the league, and I really like the choice of Mike Keenan as head coach.
He will come in with a direct job, and that is to make sure the rest of the team joins their goaltender in showing up in the playoffs. This moves make the Flames one of my early choices for advancing from the West next year.
