After 8 games he got canned. How many years did it take here?

Of course, Lokomotiv immediately gave him a management position after firing him, right?

Lokomotiv: "You're fired Craig"
MacT: "President of Hockey Ops, and that's my final offer!!"
Lokomotiv: "Uuhh...wut?"
MacT: "Right?!"

Isn't that something! Obviously his style of coaching was jiving with what the team was hoping for. I wonder if Anton Lander or Ty Rattie had any say in it lol

What do you make of this? I guess he didn't have as tight of a relationship with the KHL team owner …
Unpredictable going over there

Actually, that's pretty nice for MacT....he still gets his contract dollars....doesn't have to bother learning the language, KHL idiosynchracies, iffy travel, and can bring his family back to familiar surroundings. Think he'll try out as a TV analyst?  ? Nyet! |

I kind of like how how they do things over there.
If a foreigner who can't speak Russian can't gel in other ways fairly quickly, its going to be a rough road. Cut bait before its too late.
Decisive.

Good read, thanks Fog.
The man who fired Krueger via Skype gets fired via Grebeshkov. And seems rather chill, and level-headed about the whole thing.
Nice insight into current Russian culture as well.
