from Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now,
Though his name continues to be linked to NHL jobs, former Detroit Red Wings star Sergei Fedorov is insisting that he has no desire to become an NHL coach.
“No one from the NHL called me, the topic was sucked from the finger,” Fedorov told Russian news agency TASS. “I have another year of contract with CSKA. I don’t, didn’t have and won’t have plans to conquer America in a different status.”
The name of the 1993-94 Hart Trophy winner with Detroit is being linked to the vacant Columbus Blue Jackets job. Fedorov is a former Blue Jackets player. Last season, he was mentioned as a possible replacement for Jeff Blashill behind the Red Wings bench.
A three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Red Wings (1996-97, 1997-98, 2001-02), Fedorov has guided CSKA Moscow to the past two Gagarin Cup KHL titles.
“Winning the Stanley Cup and the Gagarin Cup is incomparable,” Fedorov told sport-express.ru. “When I was a player, there were some forces left to celebrate. Now you just switch off after the final siren.”
No one from the NHL called me, the topic was sucked from the finger, Fedorov told Russian news agency TASS.
Um, are you allowed to post something like that, Paul? :-)
The boss approved it.
Some pretty terrible translation, I was laughing too.
