Hopefully we can win some games, get some passion and energy going again and have some fun in these last 17 games. It s real tough. I m sure the players realize that, looking down the road, we need to get a foundation and start going in the right direction. Stirling served the past three seasons as an organizational coach, mostly in Lowell, and most recently as a scout. It s really disappointing, said Brad Isbister.
Butch is a great guy and a great coach.
I feel that the team is to blame as a whole. The coach is the one who usually pays the price in instances like this. It s sad, said Mariusz Czerkawski, who scored 35 goals under Goring s tutelage last season but has found himself on the end of the bench in recent games. You never want to see this happen. Butch is a good person.
