This blog post is not from your Wrangler Curmudgeon, rather from a guest.I am concerned. Folks tell me that the Wranglers new coach has issues - lots of issues. I've heard that he's got a temper that will make Grumpy of the 7 Dwarfs look like Happy and because of that he's banned in 5 states from coaching. Don't believe me? Do a search on the Web. You'll get the same results as I did. My favorite was, "Steve Chelios was my hockey coach for a short (thankfully) period of time and he was a complete jackass. Got himself fired for cussing out ..."
I am concerned. I'm not hearing of anybody wanting to come back to the Wranglers. Sam is going to U O. Grant don't want to come back. Aaron is a Canadian and playing up in Canada. And, Josef is a Canadian wanna be. That leaves Joe Summa who reportedly hasn't touched ice since last season and Chad Steiner - who? The story is that the Wranglers got two tenders but Casper the friendly ghost and Beetlejuice don't count. Even if they did count them, the Wranglers only got 4 players not even a full line.
I am concerned. I've heard that Chelios is the only coach. No assistant coaches. Steve is going to coach the offense, defense and goalies. Bonnelli has been told to "go fly a kite." If you look at Steve's coaching record he's got more losses than wins. His latest team was the Laconia Leafs for the 2007-2008 season and they had a 5 - 36 record! He didn't even make a full season coaching the Orangeville Crushers in 2006-07.
I am concerned about another losing season. Think about it, a hot tempered coach; no players to build on; and limited coaching ability. Here's what Orangeville had to say, "I thought Cheli did a very good job coming in, taking on a new team and developing the talent we have to the point they are today. The problem was that we were getting to a point where a pattern was evolving, same type of game, same type of loss."
I am concerned. Thank you for allowing me to post to the Wrangler blog.
