Is coaching on Quinn’s agenda?
It’s the question that won’t go away, the one that has dogged Vancouver Canuck president and general manager Pat Quinn from the moment his team was eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs May 12. Is he going to return as head coach of the Canucks? The situation became even more muddled May 26 when Quinn’s workaholic and loyal lieutenant, Brian Burke, accepted the general manager’s job with the Hartford Whalers. Quinn admitted he felt the burden of wearing three hats last season and that he didn’t do “as good a job” as he wanted in any of his areas of responsibility. With Burke gone, Quinn’s decision becomes even more complex. A newcomer to the front office obviously wouldn’t know its inner workings and that just might convince Quinn to step away from the bench.

Why would anyone want to be NHL coach?
They work long days and spend many winter nights away from their homes and families. Every move they make is analyzed and second-guessed under the glare of a public spotlight. Traditional forms of discipline-fines, benchings-no longer work. If you fine a player $500 for missing a curfew, chances are he’ll hand you $1,000 and say: “That’s for next time too.” Only one out of 22 teams will win the Stanley Cup this season, so that means 21 coaches will, in some measure, be found wanting. Every year, roughly a third get replaced by impatient owners and expedient general managers. Accordingly, if you want to stay in the profession for any length of time, be prepared to memorize a new zip or postal code every three years or so. Even the most successful coaches-Pat Bums…
UPDATE
McDonald goal fresh as ever Thirty-one years after scoring Chicago’s last Stanley Cup winning goal. Ab McDonald remembers the play as if it was made yesterday. “Bobby Hull did all the work as usual,” McDonald said. “I was there to shovel in the rebound.” McDonald’s second-period goal lifted Chicago to a 5-1 win in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals and a 4-2 series win over Detroit April 16, 1961. Chicago has made five trips to the finals since but haven’t won. McDonald, 56, owns an equipment rental business in Winnipeg. The 14year NHL veteran won Stanley Cups in each of his first three seasons. Spinner movie out in the fall Production of Spinner Spencer wrapped up June 2 and the made-for-TV movie is scheduled for release by CBC-TV in November. Canadian-born actor Daniel Cash, (Aliens’)…
