Skipping over the elephant in the room, the awful treatment towards current head coach Bruce Boudreau, we now know the trio of coaches that will take over tomorrow.

While everybody was already in the loop regarding Rick Tocchet, we now know the bench will be completed with Sergei Gonchar and Adam Foote.

Foote will be a great add on the defensive end, as his illustrious career brought two Stanley Cups to Colorado, and several opposing players down to the ice.

Gonchar brings a wise European presence to the room, which will be great for the team compromised in big-part of Swedes and Russians.

Finally, Tocchet and management already have a close relationship, and will help ease the heightened tensions in the room.

While the fans are still attached to Bruce Boudreau, we will see if this new group has success.
