Special assignment number 1 for the 'special assigment' coach...

Find us someone to replace Brodeur in net. You have five years to look.

Go.

The time to go fishing is just around the corner. Which brings me to another point...if Golf is listed as a sport....wheres the Bass fishing T&R? lol

Here's a special assignment...find a way to NOT play the most boring hockey know to man.

known that is

This guy should leave the organization altogether. First he's the head coach who leads the team to a Stanley Cup, then he becomes an assistant, now this "special assignment." Next thing he'll be doing the team's laundry. He's like the mentally challenged guy a business keeps around to make themselves feel good.

And the sad part is, he SHOULD be a head coach somewhere.

BETTMAN S***S

I doubt he wants the pressure of a head coaching job. Remember he had those stress issues a few years ago. Big Bird has nothing left to prove..

That's absolutely correct Peter. This is The Birds call and no-one elses. If he wanted a head coaching job he would get one. He seems to suffer under extreme stress...or maybe its just frustration...who knows, the point is he is quite content picking up his enourmours paychecks and bobbing along like a cork in a slow river.

Larry is finding it too stressful to be an assistant to a ranting Sutter? How can that be?

I'm sure he probably feels a bit slighted...as well he should.
Has Sutter ever won anything as a coach? (I'm sorry, I usually remember these things...need more tea)

IF YOULOOK IN THE DICTIONARY UNDER S***S, YOU KNOW WHO IS THE PICTURE

Is it just me...or does Larry look like Popeye in that photo above?

That picture, right there, proves he needs out!

Bauner, goot to hear from ya! Where you been? Yes, he does look like Popeye. Is that a can of spinach in his pocket, or is he just happy to see Brodeur?

Spiny:
He didn't want to be a head coach any more because he couldn't handle the stress. If that's the case, he should stick to raising race horses and go into retire from hockey altogether.

Baun-ded was on vacation in Newfoundland. They wouldn't let him leave. Said his passport was expired!

That's OK, Lamoriello will take over. he does it all, that man!

larry's got a good gig...I'm in the market for a special assignment type job if anyone knows of any.

Hhahahhahahaha. That was one of your better ones Baun.

His stress was related to him becoming head coach and having to step out of his character. I.E screaming at his players to perform. Dont foget that an assistant coach is supposed to relate to the players better than the head coach (IMO). It was not in his character to yell at his players to perform.
