I'm really surprised they waited so long to do it. Crawford is a terrible coach.

Me too. Plus they are now way behind all the other teams that have coaching vacancies when it comes to interviewing possible replacements. Weird move at this time of year

The Hockey News's reporter thought he'd get a free pass throughout the summer and then probably fired in october...

Worst coach ever.

I really doubt that will happen. San Jose isn't THAT stupid.

I posted this topic last week as I couldn't understand why the move hadn't already happened.But as others have said better late than never.
Seems like another classic screw up by Lombardi by delaying. Only advantage was that he announced it 2 hours prior to Laker tip off and it won't hit LA sports for 3 days.
My choice would be to steal Andy Murray from the Blues.:dance:

I think Mario Tremblay wins Worst Coach Ever... Crawford is actually an excellent coach. It didn't help his cause when his goalie situation in LA SUCKED... no coach could have saved that team last year.

I agree 100% that goaltending is the Kings problem area. Not sure why Clutier wasn't bought out last year and can't figure why Lombardi wasn't the one bounced after all he gave Dan the big bucks.Guess time will tell but I don't see anyway Kings can improve without a solid experienced goalie.

That was Crawford's doing. Crawford took the blame for playing Cloutier. Most of the players hated playing for Crawford.
