In the Devils' "grand scheme" of things, it's hard to view Constantine as anything but a lame duck coach.
He's a good one, don't get me wrong. Strict as they came. His body of work with the Sharks, the Penguins, and
in the lower levels of hockey speaks for itself.
But look at the situation: Larry Robinson stepped down as coach of the Devils, Constantine stepped in for the
remainder of the year (which wasn't too bad of a record) and the playoffs, only for Pat Burns to take the
permanent job the following season.
Shitty thing to happen, I know.
He went on to coach the Everett Silvertips of the WHL for 4 years, and followed that with a 3-year run with the
Houston Aeros of the AHL. Currently, he's with HC Ambri-Piotta in the Swiss A League.
