The Copper & Blue, an Edmonton Oilers community

Vancouver's prospects are about to get some excellent coaching. Can you imagine how painful it would be to have to play a MacT coached Vancouver Canucks team 8 times a year?

Craig MacTavish will coach Team Canada in the 2009 Spengler Cup Tournament. His team includes former NHL players Alexander Daigle, Boyd Devereaux, Brendan Bell, Ric Jackman, and NHL goaltending prospect David LeNeveu. Check out the Spengler Cup page here.

I also did a live blog of Steve Tambellini's press conference where he announced that Craig MacTavish would not return as Oilers' coach. I'ts worth taking a look at, if you want an overview of exactly what he said.
