Yup.

It's built into the fabric of the penguins ....they did the greatest tank in the history of tanking for Mario
- Bullfrog77

And they won two Cups largely due to it.

yes....dumbest coach Ive ever seen behind the bench of an NHL team.

he seems like a nice guy and certainly was classy in his exit interview.

Question

Do you think you can bulk up if you use no more than 5lbs weights ?

Would it be fair to complare your progress to someone with a gym membership who has access to so much more equipment ?

A player can make any coach look bad also though. Always two ways to look at things. When drastic change happens there is probably a reason.
- manvanfan

if that were true then its still on the coach for not stapling that players butt to the bench

Feather's get ruffled huh.

You're spot on in a Nucks thread looking for support for the Laffs and Flames.
- Nuck4U

Who says I'm looking for support ? Just talking hockey ...it's still on you know

- LeftCoaster

Yup...sooo jealous, dam our refuse to lose Canadian pride

And they won two Cups largely due to it.
- LeftCoaster

Largely? Mario never did it himself, it took getting Jagr and trading for Ron Francis among other things before they even won their first cup. I know you have strong feelings about tanking for superstars but ease up on the hyperbole and revisionist history.

Guy is as clueless about his own team as you are
- LeftCoaster

So you're going for the Pink Panther model now. The Inspector has nothing on you. I'll just wait for the next flip flop hyperbole revisionist theory.

Fair enough. We just aren't going to agree on this. I think Willie was an awful coach and I'm excited for change. The organization appears ready to embrace a full rebuild and I think we need a fresh start behind the bench
- CanuckDon

yes....me too

and it will depend on who we get as to the time it will take.
If its green expect it to take awhile. Not exactly pumped about him as his current team may be missing the playoffs.

Later gentleman

Bill Laforge i rest my case 😂😂

Wow...makar is an exciting prospect. Kid is insane
- CanuckDon

the scouting report is very good indeed.

Id still pick liljegren, I like what he brings and has better size

No coach makes our team a playoff team. A good coach could put us on track, teach kids skills and balance the roster better than Willie did. But they can't score goals, unfortunately not many players on our team can either. A good coach might take our powerplay from 29th, but its going to be to 15th not to a top 5 powerplay. A coach can only do so much without the right players, and vice versa—a certain mix of players needs a certain coach to push the right strategies for the guys he has. Were at least two years away (If we get the right player this year and develop him properly) from being anything, minimum.

WTF??
- Marwood

what in the actual (frank), indeed.

The coilers d sure sucks, coiler fans I know figure there going to win the cup this year, not with that d there not and there depth isn't good.

Would be a great pickup
- neem55

problem is the caps could have a long playoffs and wouldnt talk to him till then.
THey say he's the best teaching coach in the game though

Klefbom and Nurse both look really good. But, in general, (frank) Edmonton

- SMBDragon

Yeah, much like Stevens I think that would be a hard guy to land. These top teams always have the best assistants. Larry Robinson has been one of the better d-coaches for a long time, but I dont think we could pry him from san jose. Maybe if FA really opens up the pocket book.

Don't bother, he just doesn't see it.

Stop stealing my guy Dragon. I found him first.
- manvanfan

Im not making claim to finding him, more so Im bringing him up again because he seems amazing ....good job there!

- LeftCoaster

I saw probably 85% of Mario's games. I have to say I never felt the least bit shameful that my team tanked to get him. Guy was an artist.

And what was Jagr again? #1 or #2?
