LTL Nation,
Hope all is well. Just thought I'd post an article I've written about my insights as to who I believe (his) job to lose, and it's not Kevin Dineen.
With all due respect to LTL, someone who's forgotten more about hockey than I'll ever know, I'm not not from the camp of annointing Dineen the job. Howson's ability to wait it out for Boucher tells me something, far more than the due dilligence vibe. I really think he hasn't been that blown away with either Dineen or Arniel, or, Boucher just might be the next big thing - if so, might as well grab him before someone else does, particularly the Habs, of which many have speculated he's the next heir apparent.
So, for what it's worth - and for entertainment purposes, only - my money's on Boucher. That is, unless he completely tanks the interview, or sets off an arrogant vibe (word from reliable sources is that he's one of the more arrogant folks you'll ever meet), or, he has an agreement in place with the Habs or another team (that he won't divulge until after the interview - can you say bargaining chip?).
