Speculation: Next Head Coach?

[ricky0034]

How you could possibly have that much vitriol towards someone that you don't know and who did nothing to wrong you personally in any form is not only mind boggling, but extremely sad.

Just know that while you bitch about him being paid to carry out his dream of coaching in the NHL, he sleeps soundly not knowing the difference between you and a pimple on his ass.

because I literally just spent nearly a quarter of my life watching him f*** up again and again and still cling to his job to the point where he became the 2nd longest tenured Coach in the entire league

yeah no I don't wish the guy well sorry not sorry

They won't land Bedard if Hellebuyck is still there. A healthy Hellebuyck is gonna give you 60-70 mostly rock solid games and the rest of the team is nowhere near bad enough either.

Hellebuyck is overrated AF. And he's moveable.

Hellebuyck is overrated AF. And he's moveable.

He's no Vasi skillwise but he's the most reliable goalie leaguewide. He's as fit and mentally strong as anybody. Can play multiple back to backs in a row without having his performances drop the slightest bit. I'm usually sceptical about playing a goalie in 60+ games but Hellebuyck could probably 70.

your desires are for a perfect coach, and that person doesn't exist

how about at least a middle ground in between "worst Coach in the league" and "Scotty Bowman but with a jetpack and a magic wand that transforms two roster players into Wayne Gretzky" ?

anyways this is silly, he's gone now and i'll get over it eventually but it doesn't happen instantly, i'm sure if I went digging through your post history i'd find lots of posts complaining about some former management and/or player or another

 

[Bondurant]

"paid his dues" is such a weird way to say "was allowed to keep a head coaching job in the best league in the world for almost a decade in spite of doing a shitty job"

I hope he gets another coaching job somewhere soon, it'll be fun to watch him crash and burn

Maybe he will perform better with a roster that was constructed with the intent of actually winning games.

I'm sure you probably wouldn't find much. I'm usually just a bag full of hot air.

...Yet.

We will build him better than any coach that has come before him!

That's harsh. The guy served his purpose here and I wish him nothing but the best moving forward.

Just sayin'.

Spoiler

I just watched this guy get his ass handed to him by a soft body with serious guilt, anxiety, and depression. I am not impressed.

Yes, but the helmet gives him a modicum of protection from the good idea fairydust.

Maybe it's like Magneto's helmet that can block Professor X from reading his mind!

I've had the AI run a simulation of how our coach will look this season.
