Good for John , not surprised , shouldn't be long before he is a head coach in the O.John Dean named OJHL Coach of the year
PATRIOTS' JOHN DEAN NAMED OJHL COACH OF YEAR | Ontario Junior A Hockey League
Actually, I think he would be wise give you the job.Good for John , not surprised , shouldn't be long before he is a head coach in the O.
If ownership had a clue , they would put the old, tired Butler on the GM only shelf and let John Dean coach.
It would seem by your comments , that you are real close to the team , maybe so close that you are drinking to much of Butlers koolaid.Actually, I think he would be wise give you the job.
I am close, in the fact that I have been a season ticket holder since the start, have missed maybe 3 games in that period. I have thoroughly enjoyed the first 5 seasons, and could not imagine what the winters would be like without them. I know not everyone shares my opinion, and that's fine..I feel we are very fortunate to have them in our community.It would seem by your comments , that you are real close to the team , maybe so close that you are drinking to much of Butlers koolaid.
With all do respect , the owner signed John Deans pay cheque , and that's it , nothing more .I am close, in the fact that I have been a season ticket holder since the start, have missed maybe 3 games in that period.

I also understand that hockey is in our DNA.. and everyone has an opinion on how it should go. That is why I come to this board once in awhile, to discuss the troops.
I just find that the discussions on this board, usually lean toward negativity, which goes against my nature I guess.
Someone posts a positive post about John Dean getting an award. It immediately gets turned into a negative bashing of the owner, and then of course Stan. (ironically, two of the people who helped build his coaching resume)
Anyway just my two cents..looking forward to the draft on Saturday, and of course next season. If 17 is back, our top line will be one of the best in the league. Go Troops Go!
Butler is nominated for Coach of the year and brazeau for most outstanding player
Lol. Funny.
Butler coach of the year?? Lol
I think he said in an interview that Thilander isn't coming back.I’m pretty sure Butler never keeps OA imports right?
With the loss of Bruce and Saban I feel like Thilander could provide great leadership on the read end and he had a fairly good season.I think he said in an interview that Thilander isn't coming back.
I'm not exactly sure if he knows they can have one. Because considering their track record at the import draft getting commits, I think keeping him next season would be a smart move. Are you even going to find a better OA defenseman elsewhere?
He skates well however is often easily beat cleanly on the rush, makes bad decisions on dump-ins and loves to blindly pass to the opposing dman from his own end.Question for NB fans, How was Nick King for you guys this year?

King looks poised to be a top four option next season considering he's the most offensively gifted defenseman returning next season. All dependant on where Braden Handerson and Simon Rose are in terms of their development next fall. But I see King being a big part of the defense for the first part of the regular season.He skates well however is often easily beat cleanly on the rush, makes bad decisions on dump-ins and loves to blindly pass to the opposing dman from his own end.
Watch the Kingston 3rd goal in game 5 to make the score 4-3 North Bay a great example of his ineffectiveness, he got the 'Blue Bayou award' on that one. I get that he didn't play much in OS but I expected much more from him. I could see King being the #7 guy next year or traded if anyone wants him.
