This is a team that has issues with fundamental skills like passing, receiving a pass, and shooting. If you watch a good team, like the Caps as an example, when the pass is in someone's skates the player will kick that puck up to his stick almost without breaking stride. With this team, it winds up as a turnover. That's the kind of stuff a guy like Tanguay can work on. What is Blash going to do with a pass to the skates? Teach them how to butterfly?
Who do you want working with Seider on his slapshot, Tanguay or Blash?
Zadina has lost some confidence in his shooting, who's better to fix that Tanguay or Blash?
Raz can't shoot at all, is Blash gonna teach him how to shoot?
Joey, Berggren, Raymond, etc, etc
Coaches that are tactical guys tend to do better with veteran teams that already have skills. Babs, Torts, Trotz, Hitchcock, etc. They don't have the ability to develop youngsters and rely heavily on veterans even if they don't have skill.
Tanguay is the kind of assistant coach we need, the hire looks good in concept. It's definitely what I was pushing for, along with canning Disco. I'm happy with the choice, I hope it works out.
