Well the Kings finally undid a mistake they made two years when they hired Marc Crawford as head coach: they fired him. Crawford was fired on Tuesday after a two-year run and a last place finish in the division and conference standings this past season. Crawford still had one more year left on his contract, but it was obvious with the team in a youth movement that Crawford wasn't a good fit; he never really was.
So where do the Kings go next? Well, several other teams are looking for new coaches, including Tampa Bay, Ottawa, and Atlanta. Several other coaching vacancies were filled in recent days, leaving the Kings number one rumored candidate according to the St. Pete Times via The Fourth Period still available: John Tortorella. Tortorella led Tampa Bay to the Stanley Cup in 2004, the year before the lockout, and could bring in a style of play that would fit the young Kings.
Stay tuned...
