Victoria at Portland 28 and 30 Dec

Marc Habschield is in his 2nd season with the franchise. This is a coach who has a Memorial Cup ring. The people who ran the franchise before him were not bad hockey people, but did not have the prowess of Mr. Habschield.

Trust in him, and he will build you a winning team.

Disagree with above statement. Habschied has a Memorial Cup because of the team built by Lorne Frey and Bruce Hamilton in Kelowna. Habschied had no GM duties and basically just had to open the bench doors that season. The team won in spite of him. Reality check .... he is an old school coach wanna be. Don Hay he is not, but tries to demand that kind of respect. Without a strong and competent GM providing him with a 'can't miss' team, Habschied is out of his depth and will drive the crowds away just like he did in Chilliwack for two seasons, by putting a poor product on the ice.
