"According to the Belarus News Agency BELTA, after being trounced 1:4 at home today by Amur Khabarovsk, chairman of the Belarus Hockey Federation Vladimir Naumov announced the dismissal of Dynamo Minsk head coach Glen Hanlon, along with his entire coaching staff.
"…You all saw the game today. I am convinced that with the roster of players which we now have on Dynamo, the team should not be playing like this. So today I announced the dismissal of the entire coaching staff headed by Glen Hanlon" said Naumov. "He asked to resign four games ago, but I had no doubts about him as a highly qualified coach and I did not accept his resignation. Today I expected that Glen would come to the press conference and explain his situation, but since he is not here I had to announce the dismissal myself."
Naumov went on to say that just 20 minutes before the press conference he talked with "Gomel" head coach Alexander Andrievsky and offered him command of the team."

Like the chance to coach the best player in a generation? Yeah, he’s had rotten luck.

Arguably, the chance to coach two of the best players of two generations, although Jagr is obviously past his prime (but still probably the best player in the KHL).

Oops, got Jagr’s team wrong. He’s with Omsk. Should have known that.

Interesting that he tried to resign a bit earlier…

Huh.

I have nothing to add.

Maybe play with an edge, be a little more physical -- maybe be more of a prick out there.

Who knows, I hear the Uzbekistan national team has an opening for a coach….

Let's go Caps!

Assholes Uzbekistan.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

I believe Hanlon was in line to coach the Bearussian team at the Olympics (with ex-Wings coach Dave Lewis as an assistant). I wonder if that’s still the case.

by RedBirdie on Oct 21, 2009 9:57 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Very good question! And the answer is: “In response to the question of whether or not Glen Hanlon would retain his position of mentor of the Belarus national team, the Hockey Federation chairman said that he will offer the Canadian the chance to stay and form a team for the Vancouver Olympics. But Vladimir Naumov is not sure Glen Hanlon would agree to this.”

thanks for the quick update! I’ll certainly be curious to see how this plays out.

Sounds like a jumpy owner to me.

Maybe play with an edge, be a little more physical -- maybe be more of a prick out there.

Penguins as Penguins. I thought this was really funny, the penguins first line as, well, cute little tiny non-powerful penguins. I mean, penguins can't even fly. Hard to see on the small versions, but on the large version it is pretty clear.
