Tis the season to fire coaches ( hint Andre ). Dave King will be replaced by gm Doug MacLean for the rest of the season. Heck, I thought that the Jackets were improving.

I'm all for bringing back Dave King. But if we keep Therrien, we are going to get one heck of a good pick in the draft this summer.

Can someone tell me why Calgary and Atlanta even bothered asking Scottie Bowman to coach their teams?
Now, Atlanta has contacted Bob Hartley to try to fill their coaching vacancy (GM Waddell is behind the bench right now). Source: the Score.
Let's get on it before more of our potential candidates are gone!
I'm kind of hoping for a loss to NJ tonight (only if it means a new coach) and then I can see us picking up 4 straight wins after that. (NY, BUF, CAL, @atl).

nhl.com/lineups/coaches/king.htmlDAVE KING Former Calgary Flames and Canadian National Team coach Dave King was named the first head coach in the history of the Columbus Blue Jackets on July 5, 2000. King came to Columbus after spending the previous three seasons with the Montreal Canadiens as an assistant coach and the club's director of European scouting. Before coming to Columbus, King enjoyed a successful three-year stint as the head coach of the Flames from 1992-95, guiding the club to a 109-76-31 record. In his first season behind the bench, Calgary posted a 43-30-11 mark and finished second in the Smythe Division. The Flames then captured two-straight Pacific Division titles after forging a 42-29-13 record in 1993-94 and a 24-17-7 slate in the abbreviated 1994-95 campaign. The Flames have captured back-to-back division titles only one other time in their 28-year history (three-straight Smythe Division titles from 1987-90). King joined the Flames after spending nine seasons with the Canadian National Hockey program. *** ca.sports.yahoo.com/020627/6/nbzx.html...Charron's first coaching job was with Arosa in the Swiss league in 1981-82. He was an assistant coach with Canada's national team from 1985 to 1990, including at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. In 1990, he coached Canada to a gold medal at the world junior championships and was assistant coach of the Calgary Flames from 1990 to 1995, including a 16-game stint in which he replaced Doug Risebrough as head coach at the end of the 1991-92 season. He then stayed on with Calgary as assistant to Dave King.Charron spent two years as an assistant with the New York Islanders under Mike Milbury and Rick Bowness, then was head coach of Landshut in Germany in 1997-98 before spending two seasons as head coach of Grand Rapids in the IHL. Charron still has dreams of being an NHL head coach one day, but said he was happy to be an assistant in Montreal... *** archive.sportserver.com/newsroom/sports/PressBox/nhl_current.htmlTHE MONTREAL CANADIENS WERE THRILLED to get Alain Vigneault as their head coach. But the key hire here was Dave King as an assistant coach. King is going to be the man Vigneault relies on as he makes his way through the NHL for the first time. The former Calgary Flames coach was once a candidate for the Montreal job but didn't get it because of a perceived anti-French backlash after he was accused of not playing junior sensation Mario Lemieux enough in a junior tournament.

nhlstars.kulichki.net/players/malakhov/1.htmlMONTREAL (CP) -- Defenceman Vladimir Malakhov likes the Montreal Canadiens new coaching staff so much that he even compares assistant coach Dave King to his old Soviet bench boss Viktor Tikhonov. "King knows what he's doing," Malakhov said in a rare interview this week. "He reminds me of Tikhonov, but only for the positive things... *** espn.go.com/nhl/s/2000/0923/771378.html Along the way, he became known as a patient teacher of young players and coaches. His teams often won despite not being as talented. He inherited a Calgary team that had missed the playoffs the year before, but he guided them to the postseason all three years – including Pacific Division titles the last two years. But in the NHL, the regular season is just a prelude to the race for the Stanley Cup, of course. And in that area, King and the Flames were a colossal failure: three trips to the postseason, three first-round knockouts. "We found a way to self-destruct a little bit," King said. King has the highest winning percentage (.576) of any Calgary coach with more than 150 games. He had turned down a new three-year contract early in his third season, thinking there would always be time to sign a new one after an ugly labor dispute between players and management was settled. But even when the strike-shortened season got under way, he never got around to signing. "That was a brilliant move," he says with a rueful smile. Five times the Flames went to overtime in those three first-round series. All five times they lost. Disappointed for a third consecutive year, Flames management and fans needed a target and King was wearing a bull's eye. "It's the nature of this business that sometimes you deserve to get it and sometimes you don't," he said with a laugh. King spent three years with the Montreal Canadiens, the first two as an assistant coach and the third as the team's director of European scouting. The phone calls from other NHL teams stopped coming. Some said it was because he was better working with young players than dealing with superstars and big-money free agents. Others said he was too valuable as a "support" person who could use his experience and perspective to develop bright young coaching prospects. There were some who thought his heart wasn't in coaching anymore.

www.globeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/printarticle/gam/20021108/UROYYNThose parents who have made hockey matter too much should sit down for a moment with Dave King, the coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets and one of the game's more interesting thinkers. Just to see what the chances are of actually making it, Mr. King once looked at Ontario youngsters born in 1975, 30,000 of whom signed up for the Great Canadian Dream. Of that original 30,000, 22,000 were still playing by the time they reached bantam age, 14, and 232 of that large group were drafted by junior teams. Of the 232 junior draftees, 105 played one game or more in junior and 48 were eventually drafted by NHL clubs. Two others were later signed as free agents, bringing the grand total of NHL prospects to 50. Of that 50, 38 signed contracts, 22 got into at least one game and, in 1999 -- when they would have turned 24 and been in their prime -- only 11 were still in the NHL. Mr. King calculated from all this that the percentage of those who made it worked out to a whopping .0036 per cent. Or roughly 1 in 3,000. There are, unfortunately, no comparative figures available for parents who do not make it.

est-ce-que Dave King parle francais? Pas un traitre mot. Et c'est lui qui a coupé Mario Lemieux de l'équipe Nationale Junior dans le temps, et il a une réputation d'anti-francophone... En bref, oublie ca.
