I take it he wouldn't sign an autograph for you? No Why do you say that for? Inot want his old fart Autograph at all. Leave your personal vendetta's out of this. We all know you are pissed at him for a personal reason. No reason he should be fired for that. And I'll say it again, you cannot fire your head coach when you are still in a contention spot for the playoffs. I don't care how bad the team is doing at this moment, changes have been made and he said in the paper that more are possible. Obviously he isn't just sitting on his butt and not doing anything like many of you have stated. You don't know that, you don't sit in his office, you don't follow him home. You don't know what he is thinking, therefore you can't make assumptions that he's just drifting through the rest of the season. There is a reason he is coaching and obvious reasons why you people aren't. More blame needs to be put on the players as they are the ones who aren't performing. The coach can only do so much. Unless you know what is going through the minds of all the players and what's going on, you have no valid reason the judge anything but their play.

Well how about getting rid of the guy who hasn't played for us hardly at all this season. Why keep the ones that cant play the rest of the season with us get rid of the load. And did you ever stop and think that maybe turner doesn't hit really hard is because he has stitches in his face right now and also a knee that is really bad. I would like to see Stan get rid of Stirling he is worth less. Any one who throws a fit like that doesn't deserves to play. I think that we have good defense we just need a little more push get a big guy who wont take any crap and will fight for what we need.

Being a coach is no different from being a Supervisor. You are responsible for your people while at work. If they fail to do the job you train retrain and discipline. If they continue to fail you get new people. If the Supervisor continues to fail or fails to provide for the companys goal you get a new Supervisor. Basic Business. Stan needs to take care of issues or be gone. Who cares if were in 2nd with only 20 games to go, its a 6 team league that is losing a key team next season. They meaning Muskegon are willing to go out with a bang. Chances are there will not be a league next year we should have the same all or nothing attitude. Get some Perspective people. As George Carlin says " I will question you with my usual flawless logic. "

I'm not stating a fact, but IMO Stillman is the next guy out. Why would Auffrey come on to this team wearing the #17. Stillman has been #17 since he got here. Thats why I believe that he is the next one to go home or to a differetn team

Why are we even keeping Stillman & Kinnie on the rosters. They have been on the injured list more than they've been on the ice. Let's get some HEALTHY players in here who can help the team NOW instead of giving them free seats to eat and drink every game! Make these moves now so the new players brought in have about 15-20 games to get acquainted and develop some chemistry with the players already here.

As George Carlin says " I will question you with my usual flawless logic. " How about this logic!! Where are you going to find a replacement Coach this late in the season?? Especially when there isn't any promise of the league returning!! You gonna have one of the players step in a coach??? No new coach is going to uproot themselves, to join a team with less than 20 games left in the season and no promise that he will still have a job next season because the future of the league is uncertain. Flawless logic, Think again.

You cant get rid of them if they are injured you have to pay them still. It doesn't work that way

Actually if their injured you don't directly pay for them. That's why our roster is so big because workers comp pays them instead while they are on IR.

Well Muskegon is leaving so that puts the league down to 6 and I've heard that Quad City has a clause in their contract that if they league does not have 7 or more teams than they have the right to leave the league. To go where, I have no clue. As for us we could potentially go to a different league all together or fold. But by the sounds of the league meetings a month or so ago, Evansville could come a year early and we may have Chicago back in the league if they work out a deal with that arena they played in.

If what Rigamortis says is true we should have no issue finding a coach for 20 games and a new season. Or we can continue to psycho-analyze why we struggle. Or better yet why we pay to watch ? Just would like to see Port Huron have a strong team for a whole season. Not too much to ask.

Would be nice to see the rest of the IHL teams just merge with the ECHL. At least they would get to play K-ZOO Toledo, Elmira, again.

Just would like to see Port Huron have a strong team for a whole season. Not too much to ask. It's not going to happen so give it up. If you read his post, there's a chance this stuff could happen, however with this league no one knows for sure. With that uncertainty, you won't find a replacement coach for just 20 games. Not to mention are you going to expect your team to learn a whole new coaching system and style with the last 20 games of the season?? Think about that. We might still be able to salvage what we have and finish strong, but if you make that change now, might as well pack up the team and forfeit the rest of the season.
