Who Do You Think Should Be Coach Of The Year?

LARRY ROBINSON
DEVILS
Though stars Jason Arnott and Scott Niedermayer missed time because of contract disputes, Robinson kept the defending champs on top. New Jersey went into the playoffs on a 19-2-0-0 run and with an Eastern Conference-best 111 points.

OR

BILL BARBER
FLYERS
Philadelphia was 12-12-4-0 when he succeeded Craig Ramsay on Dec. 10. Since then the Flyers have adopted his snarling persona and gone 31-13-7-3, despite injuries to several key forwards and relying heavily on a first-year goaltender.

The Verdict: Barber has done more with less, so he's our choice.
