Crawford 'Shocked'

Now ex-Kings coach Marc Crawford has been 'shocked' by another firing.

Crow only lasted two seasons after being let go by the Vancouver Canucks. Crawford didn't do anything to keep his job. He had a decet collection of young talent under his control, but couldn't do enough to get his team in to the playoffs.

Crawford needs to realize that he isn't Mike Babcock, and needs to take a step down, catch a job somewhere and try and get his reputation back to a somewhat respectable level. I guess that that might've come across as a little strong, but Crawford shouldn't be shocked that he was fired. And it doesn't look it he was shocked by the initial firing, but how much of a big deal is it that the timing was off. The new season is still months away, and there are still coaches to be fired and hired. Maybe if he sucks up a little bit he could latch on somewhere and like I said, try and earn back his reputation.
