Right, if the player doesn't skate fast enough the coach yells at him, puts him on the fourth line, and benches him. No need to try to improve skills or anything.

Canadiens Expected To Hire Skills Coach Adam Nicholas

Video featuring Adam

"He's been a consultant skills coach for the Leafs since October 2019 and is the founder of Stride Envy, a player development company.

Stride Envy?

A wholly owned subsidiary of Jockstrap Pride Enterprises, which includes several associated brands: Puck Greed, Wrath of Can’t, Slot Lust, Rented Mule Scrimmages, Butt Tap Glutton, Spiritual Chesters and Cross-Checking Virtue.

Well you got an early morning chuckle out of me! Good stuff.

I used to think teaching skills was the main duty of a head coach. Oh silly me!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I like that!!

Since I watch the Habs, Gorton and Hughes are the best thing to happen in MTL!

People said this about Bergevin and Therrien.

People thought Therrien had matured.

Turned out he's still an idiot and likely always will be.

However, the fact that this team didn't have a skills coach is a bit ridiculous

We could hired Charles Hamelin to specialize in the speed in straight line

We could hired Charles Hamelin to, to specialize in the speed in straight line

Would this hire help Brendan Gallagher skating a little bit faster than his friend Lucic?

I know a player that will benefit from this tho and it's one of my favorite prospect in Laval, RHP!

 

[Pickles]

No more grind dez guys? Looks like Gorton, Hughes and St. Louis are dragging the organization into the modern era of coaching and player development. So nice to see this.

What would really be great now, would be for Gorton/ Hughes to also bring aboard Adam Oates as skills coach.

Nicholas for footwork specialization & Oates for flow, lanes & IQ improvement

 

[Skip Bayless]

That's cute and everything, but I want a skills coach for board battles and stick handling in small areas.

You probably know this better then I do but I think St-Louis and Oates have a good relationship?

Yup.. the issue is getting Oates to leave his lucrative consulting / coaching business Oates Sports Group in Toronto

Everyone including Euro leagues want his services

Yeah don’t think he will leave that for only a skills coach job.

Unless there's a way he can do both...

The last skills coach was Bergy in the dressing room saying ‘watch this!’ As he attempted taking slap shots of tape balls into the garbage

Wearing Rollerblades and singing DUCKS FLY TOGETHER!

 

[Pompeius Magnus]
