Thrashers interviewing candidates
One drank beer from the Stanley Cup last week. Another hopes to hoist the Calder Cup Tuesday night. A third won the Stanley Cup as a player. Todd McLellan, John Anderson and Brad McCrimmon are candidates to become the Thrashers' coach. One of them could have the job by next week. But, Thrashers general manager Don Waddell said Monday, he might hire someone else. Waddell said he will begin interviewing three or four candidates later week and that two of them will be Anderson, coach of the Thrashers' top minor-league affiliate, and McCrimmon, the Thrashers' associate coach. McLellan, an assistant with the Detroit Red Wings, was in San Jose on Monday interviewing for the Sharks job and will interview for the Thrashers job, too, Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said.

They should be interviewing for a new GM at this point as well. Waddell is terrible;
February 25, 2007: To Atlanta Thrashers : Keith Tkachuk
To St. Louis Blues: Glen Metropolit,a 1st round pick in 2007, a 3rd round pick in 2007 (Brett Sonne), a 2nd round pick in 2008 and a conditional 1st round pick in 2008
February 24, 2007: To Atlanta Thrashers : Alexei Zhitnik
To Philadelphia Flyers : Braydon Coburn
June 26, 2007: To St. Louis Blues: Keith Tkachuk, a conditional 4th round pick in 2008
To Atlanta Thrashers : conditional 1st round pick in 2008 (previously acquired from Atlanta)
All that just to get swept out of the playoffs last year and not even come close this year.

John Anderson deserves a shot to coach in the NHL! He'd be my choice, hands down! I mean, how long does a guy have to pay his dues? All he's ever done is take the Chicago Wolves deep into the playoffs year in and year out and, he's won championships it seems like forever!
I've seen the Wolfs play a lot. I like his coaching style and I like the kind of hockey his team plays.
Give him a shot, Waddell! He's earned it!

I think that woman sitting directly behing Waddell is smokin' a dube. Judging from the look on his face, I'd say he just got a sniff.

I see Marc Crawford is available, since the Thrashers seem to like former Avs coaches....
