His overall coaching record in the
NHL is 221-224-67.

empty feeling.

most reporters, didn't comment after
the firing. ~

Several players, cn picid

Petr Nedved, were rath shaibed:

“This is a disappointment for me
because Bob was my first (pro)
coach,"* Linden said. “I'll miss him.
it's our fault someone has to suffer
for the way we played."

had the proper enthusiasm since the
Christmas break. Vancouver was two

games over .500 the week before

Quinn indicated he will coach for
an indefinite period. The status of
assistant coaches Jack Mclihargey
and Ron Wilson was uncertain.
