Yesterday, the Edmonton Oilers were the subject of a piece on how failure can spread. It just so happens that the gentleman you see in the picture was one of the coaches during the Oilers' current run of failure, and believe it or not, he's actually had the most success of any coach since the 2009-10 season. Why does Ralph Krueger's name come up you ask? In a piece on the English football club Southampton on television last night, his name came up, so in an effort to figure out what his connection to Southampton is, some research had to be done.
In February 2014, Krueger switched from hockey to football and became the director of Southampton, a club that had as recently as five years ago, been playing in the country's third tier league. In March of the same year, he would be named chairman of the club. The documentary, called "The Southampton Way," was aired on NBC Sports and for viewing purposes, can be located
here. Krueger's part is included in this piece, and it is an insightful look into a club that wants to be the best while on a relatively modest budget.
