And Of Course, the BIG STORY - Wayne Gretzky is out as head coach of the Phoenix Coyotes. Don Cherry will be in mourning for some time. Just because I have a platform, let me toss my opinion out there. Wayne was the Great One when it came to playing. But not coaching. It's a little bit of a stretch to say "Wayne deserved better" when the coaching record just wasn't there. I think Greg Wyshynski put it best today:
If you're a Gretzky fan, today is a great day. No one remembers Ted Williams as a s----y coach. Leave the bench, reclaim the legacy.
Poetic, really.
