Editor's Note: We feel the loss of SIlva is not a good thing, to name a coach with no previous HC experience to the position an error. This is a Division 1 pro team, with anohter in the same market from another league. Through the level of the team dropped following the break, of late, they are still in a good position due to a stellar first half of the season.
