There had to be good reasons why the Griffins fired Stothers. Anyway, we need a coach with experience taking a losing team & making them win. Place a former defenseman in charge of young, upcoming defensive talent. The Kings wouldn't be so "hard to coach" if one was hired who could properly motivate them. Move against the "usual" AHL coaches who already have a built in excuse if they fail here. Martinson has already coached in SoCal. So what if the teams were either IHL or ECHL. His philosophy regarding hockey is similar to the formula Randy Carlisle used that made the Ducks mighty.
If Stothers was helpless watching the Griffins fail, how can he be expected to come up w/answers here if Kings continue losing? Going from a Red Wings affiliate to...here?! We can cuss & discuss Stothers night & day, but I don't see him winning here.
