Good coach if provided the players who can play to his strengths.Your opinion on him
ThanksGood coach if provided the players who can play to his strengths.
What are his strengthsGood coach if provided the players who can play to his strengths.
i think you sell chief short. he's an insightful observer and great communicator. this has allowed hm to be good teacher of younger players. But he's demanding and it can at times wear on some of them. i think he's a heckuva coach and would be great fit near everywhere. until in time, like basically all nhl coaches these days, he isn't.If you have a good team that needs to get over the hump I think he's a great motivator. He'll make the guys willing to run through walls for him but if you're not at that stage he's prolly not the right choice.
i think significant part of appeal to leafs would be that he demands accountability. my sense is that keefe was thought to struggle with that.The OP appears to be a Leafs fan, and I think Berube would be a poor fit there unless the organization is committed to becoming less top heavy and investing more in depth. I would say he is a great coach, but would be more successful with the Jets or Devils based on current roster construction.
I don’t see what difference it would make.If the Canes and Brind'Amour go their separate ways after being eliminated tonight, a Berube led Hurricanes team could be scary.

That insinuates that the problem with Carolina is the coach and I don’t agree with that. There are a couple areas of their roster they need to fix, and until they do, Berube would have the same results as Rod.
It's true. Carolina won the xG battle all 6 games. Anderson had an awful series.Anderson let in so many softies during the Rangers series. Absolutely crippling.
Larussa used to say most demoralizing thing for club is if closer blew save, unless club has closer like eckersly in which case they shrug it off as fluke. I think that is what happened (again) to Carolina. It is why we should be reluctant to deal binny, bc he is guy team knows can get it done. If you have rando goalie can win, as Vegas showed last year, but that only works as long as it works. And when it doesn’t Carolina happens.It's true. Carolina won the xG battle all 6 games. Anderson had an awful series.
Public xGF are specifically broken for Carolina. In most games the inner slot shots and scoring chances were at least even. Moneypuck just really likes it when a team takes a ton of point shots despite that style being actively harmful in the playoffs.It's true. Carolina won the xG battle all 6 games.

I wasn't referencing MoneyPuck. I don't tend to look at their info because they don't do a good job accounting for pre-shot movement. E-H does a much better job of this. It's not perfect but it's far from worthless.Public xGF are specifically broken for Carolina. In most games the inner slot shots and scoring chances were at least even.

Pretty sure. If I understand correctly we are responsible for making up the difference if he’s being paid less. But since I’m sure he’s getting paid more we would be off the hook if that’s the case.So Stillman and company save that money, right?
Oh God, as an Oakland A's fan growing up and living in Oakland in the 70's up, there is SO MUCH I can say about La Russa. This is so tip of the iceberg for him. And you're absolutely right.Larussa used to say most demoralizing thing for club is if closer blew save, unless club has closer like eckersly in which case they shrug it off as fluke.
