I still rather believe that you're just (frank)ing with everyone, actually not being able to use a bookmark makes zero sense to me.

I think he was only hired as an assistant in Philly, perhaps he'll be your new headcoach going into next season, who knows...

Well, I have one of those jail broke firestick thingys now, and my son put surrfshark vpn on it.

Hopefully I won’t need any links anymore.

Gonna try it out in Vegas in a couple weeks, to see if if the bell app will work on it..

I have no clue really, but he did bring the habs to the conference final, so there's that.

he knows how to manage a bench, but I think his management of younger players could leave to be desired, so...

yep, excellent bench coach. also very good to get his players ready at the start of the season. not rare to see his team start 8-2 in October.

i don't know if he'd take the job anyway. i'm not sure any established coach would look forward to this job.

when you're waiting for the phone to ring.... you answer.
my pick would be Ian Laperriere though.

I really have nothing bad to say about the guy. he did what he could with the team he had. Price and missfits.

bah, it depends, a lot of coaches could see it as a nice challenge... like I was saying the other day it could also be someone outside of the old boys club, kinda like St.Louis in MTL. that might be not a bad thing either...

he seemed to have a rather special way of dealing with younger players, not sure he'd be the right fit for a rebuild, could be wrong though.

You know Hughes was MSL’s agent, right?

meh, coaches adapt themselves to the team they have. at the time he did not have the luxury MSL had. there's was no rebuild, no 'develop the kids and we don't care about the playoffs' mentality.

you do know I meant someone outside of the Laviolettes, Maurices or any old coach with already established NHL experience, right?

yeah, that's why I mentioned I could always be wrong lol

but you are right in the sense that often after Torts, most GMs would go for a younger guy, more a players' coach.

Well an ex agent turned gm hires one of his clients, is that the new boys club?

And before you answer that, remember we agreed today..
