from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
Lewis went on to coach the Bruins during the 2006-07 season and was fired after they missed the playoffs. Last summer, he joined the Kings’ coaching staff as an assistant to Marc Crawford.
He said he’s “indifferent” to what’s unfolding now for the Red Wings, but that’s difficult to believe.
“I have such an appreciation for the players that I know there. It’s a great organization,” he said. “They gave me an opportunity as a player, an assistant coach and a head coach. We just didn’t have playoff success.
“The expectations are always high here in Detroit. It’s action-packed, pressure-packed and competitive. I have very good memories and thoughts.”

Despite the town I list as my location (I am closer to Grand Blanc than Holly) my mailing address is Holly, MI. I have met Dave Lewis several times. Although we are barely acquaintances, I drank a beer and had a pic taken with him and the Cup at his house after the last win in 2002. This guy is the epitome of a good and decent person. The Wings made the right move with Babcock, but I hope this guy has nothing but success after success.
