08:27 AM ET 06.04 | Yes, admitted Kevin Lowe over the weekend, Brent Sutter is a candidate to take over in Edmonton, but so is Ralph Krueger. Who is Ralph Krueger? Despite the fact he spent the last two years as Tom Renney's associate coach, Edmonton Oiler fans know him mostly as either the guy who took over behind the bench during Renney's absences to attend the funeral of his father and to recover from his concussion. But ask respected long-time Swiss scribe Klaus Zaugg for his perspective and you get some interesting observations. "Ralph was the smartest and most charismatic coach in Europe for the previous 15 years," he insists. ... "He wrote a book Team Life about how to handle problems in life and it was a bestseller."

I'd be a real curd if I didn't respond. I don't want you to be blue especially since you served this up on such a nice platter.
