NEVER85 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 False alarm apparently. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...807_163911_5096 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I wouldn't say false alarm... I'd say they're denying it, like expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluepride35 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2128012 http://www.sportsline.com/nhl/story/8713770 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/hock...h.ap/index.html Well everyone's picking up on the story so if it IS false that would be embarrassing. Would be interesting to see what kind of a coach he makes. And it might make people care about the Coyotes lol. If he coaches against the Rangers I'd try to get tickets.

bayrider Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 lets just wait for the press conference. Obviously Gretzky is no amateur to hockey, it might be good for the franchise especially after this lockout to boost ticket sales and what-not.... but! we all know Gretzky is a busy man, so its up in the air if u ask me, i won't say much else until the conference.

Matrix XII Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'd rather he coach a Canadian team... It just doesn't seem right in Phoenix, no offense :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulaski Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 NO it doesn't. Seems out of place. Think he'll be a good coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Allen Veteran Posted August 8, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 8, 2005 Heard about this yesterday. I think it's good for him and the team that he will be coaching, however I wish it were for a Canadian team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayrider Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 well if he's half as good as a coach as he was on the ice, the coyotes have bright days ahead 586344982[/snapback] not to mention some of the players they signed in the last 2 years. I think the Coyotes will be a fairly good team this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted August 8, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 8, 2005 He should lace them up again so he can hold the titles of owner, coach and player. :D That'll show Mario... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix XII Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I really hope he doesn't play again though. I think MJ kinda made his legacy a bit worse by coming back. Mario made a good choice by coming back but Gretzky is just such a legend he needs to let his records sit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Ugh... I'm so ****ed off he has Smith on his staff. Babcock is an idiot for letting him walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't seem right in Phoenix, no offense :( 586343753[/snapback] If you saw the girls in Phoenix, (in Tempe/Scottsdale) you would understand. :shifty: Seriously though, Gretzky is a veteran and he probably wants to settle down in a place with great weather, lots of golf, a little privacy, and an abundance of over priced restaurants. Phoenix is pretty beautiful when its not Summer time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayrider Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 why should Gretzky coach in Canada? Hockey needs exposure south of the border, and theres no one else better than Gretzky to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
