2020-2021 Jack Adams Award Finalists: Dean Evason, Rod Brind'Amour, Joel Quenneville

[Darren McCord]

Pittsburgh has the pedigree. Malkin and Crosby. Letang.

Florida improved the most.

Voters look at teams reaching unexpected heights.

Florida I could see but I expected the canes to win the division honestly. If anything they disappointed me this year. I expected them to take the next step.

 

[DonM]

canes and Florida led a horrible division with an injury riddled lighting team.

Sullivan had the pens win a division that was a blood bath with Crosby malkin and half the defense missing a lot of games

Evasion deserves the nod

Crosby missed 1 game. C'mon now.

Yeah, the Canes were the picture of health this year, should of won the President's Trophy smh

 

[Aurinko]

Evason, Bednar

Too bad regular season has nothing to do with the real games.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Going with Quenneville because he showed his true coaching abilities in Florida.

But I think Trotz got snubbed. Not mad because he already won a few years ago.

- Carolina had their #1 goalie play 12 games in the regular season so had to rely on a rookie goalie to platoon and keep the team competitive

- Team started the year being hit with COVID where their 1D in Slavin missed games as did their captain Staal.

- TT, 2nd best forward played 21/56 games this year

- 2C Trochek missed 10 games

Despite all that the team won the Central, third best record in the league (barely missed out on the top spot) and was top 5 in PP and PK. The coaching deserves a ton of credit.

Sullivan snubbed again

Sully should have been fired after the habs loss in the playoffs last season.

But the Isles finished 4th in a pretty weak division.

I realize it's two different people saying this, but this is pretty funny.

The Devils and Sabres were horrendous; lots of free wins when you play two AHL teams for 15 games a year.

The west was worse, but the 5th best team in the division still finished 11 points back of the 4th place team.

Happy for Rod that he didn't get snubbed. The job he's done over the past 3 years has been phenomenal, especially for someone with no prior HC experience.

In general I hate the Canes (no offence) but I hope he wins it. Great coach

Don't worry I'm just messing about, not making any serious comments here.

 

[Shrimper]

Please list the reasons Sullivan deserves to be ahead of these three. I'm curious.

Well, coach of the year is based on the regular season. Look at the injuries the Pens had. To have a record that good with that many key injuries is incredible. We lost 18 points due to MGL according to some injury account. This is the second year we've punched above as well.
