Fred Shero made the Cup Final 4 times in 6 years, winning twice. How is he not at least in the top 10?

Pat Burns shouldve been higher in the list...only coach with 3 Jack Adams

This list is outdated. No mention of Trotz winning the cup? No Mike Sullivan?

no way John Tortorella, Ron Wilson, Babcock, Roger Neilson & Mike Keenan deserve to be on this list, while overlooking great coaches such as Jacques Demers, Marc Crawford and Mike Hartley! Those are the worst coaches of all time along with John Brophy and Don Cherry. All they do is scream at their players to dump and chase and fight. Works or lumberjack teams like those in the WHA days and lower talent NHL teams like Columbus. And Tortorella actually didn't win the cup in 2004, it was the refs who gave it to Tampa (Calgary Flames the real Stanley cup winner in 2004). Pat Burns, Fred Shero, Lindy Ruff, and Jacques Lemaire should be higher on this list. Not having Jacques Demers, Marc Crawford and Mike Hartley on this list is a gross oversight!
