Hitchcock, Nolan, Laviolette, Stevens, Paddock, Carbonneau, Babcock, Quenneville...

Does that cover everyone? I mean which of these coaches DOESN'T deserve the Adams!?

Sure Paddock and Ottawa was expected to be pretty good. As was Detroit...but to the extent that they are? Those guys deserve anything that could be awared.

After that, there are a lot of teams that were medicore and are now playing more solid. You can't deny those coaches the kudos.

And then there are those like Hitchcock...turning teams around to that degree. He could easily get the Adams as well.

I don't know who i am most impressed with. Hitchcock is on the front of my tongue - but when i look at the teams that are doing well, i can't really eliminate any of their coaches.

Good thing there is plenty of time left in the season - i'd certainly hope that things sort themselves out by season's end.
