The Edmonton Journal illustrates how fired Oilers coach Ralph Krueger, replaced by Dallas Eakins, still says he's not bitter the way it ended in Edmonton. Krueger wasn't the day it happened and he's not now. Hurt, maybe, but not bitter.
He's eternally upbeat.
"I haven't had time for that (getting mad)," said Krueger, who finally made it back to Edmonton to clean out his apartment a few weeks ago.
"It was very quiet in town, there was nobody there, but the people I did run into were wonderful. I was down on Whyte Avenue and on Jasper for a few ways. People treated me warmly and I was able to reconnect with some of the staff members there," said Krueger. "The most important thing I've learned in life though is to refocus on new goals and endeavours."
The Journal notes Krueger was introduced as a part of Team Canada's coaching staff for the Sochi Games because coach Mike Babcock wanted Krueger to tell the Canadian coaches and players how European teams played Canada.
Krueger won't lose track of one unassailable fact, though.
"You can't lose what makes Canada great (playing with emotion). If you do, you become weak. You need to keep Canada's personality mixed in with all the changes they'll see (European ice)," he said.
