Avs fan. Highly annoyed. Tanguay was my favorite Avs player of the early 00’s. Just wrong seeing him with the Winged Wheel by his name.

Boooo this. Stevie - teach him well and then send him back to Denver

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Booooo.

Former Avs and Flames player. I’m convinced that he’s going to attempt to make us even worse.

 

[Frk It]

I like it.

 

[FabricDetails]

Former Av, grumble grumble... Hehe.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Iowa Wild’s Offense and PP was dynamic

Very intriguing

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

No f***ing way LMFAO

 

[EpiK Sandwich]

I like this for some reason.. even though for obvious reasons I really shouldn't.

 

[ShippinItDaily]

I love it! Very intelligent and creative player. Could be a real boon for the power play and getting more offense out of this team in general.

 

[jkutswings]

Year 1: Update training and scouting.
Year 2: Fix special teams.
Year 3: Blash...

 

[Hen Kolland]

FORTUNE FAVORS THE BALD

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Was a smart player. Can’t be any worse than what we had last year

 

[bedtime20]

He seems to be good with offensive stuff. Looks like a good hiring

 

[TheOtherOne]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The more successful he is, the more this sucks.

I'm guessing our old buddy Kyle Kujawa wrote this for a reason:

Iowa had the AHL's fifth-best power play in Tanguay's first season behind the bench at 21.9 percent, and its offense was among the league's most productive, improving from 3.08 goals per game in 2019-20 to 3.15 goals per game over a 34-game schedule in 2020-21. The Wild also had the second-best shot-per-game average in the AHL in each of the past two seasons, averaging 32.68 combined in Tanguay's tenure with the club.

 

[MBH]

I like it.

Why?

 

[Hammettf2b]

something something I hate it something something...

In all seriousness, if he can improve our lackluster offense, I'm all for it.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Iowa Wild’s Offense and PP was dynamic

Very intriguing

Last year:
12th in GF/GP
28th (last) in PP%

2019-20:
14th in GF/GP
5th in PP%

Mixed bag. That 2019-20 team was led by a bunch of career AHLers. So I'm not sure if that is a positive or a negative.

 

[Frk It]

Why?

Matches what I was looking for. An up and coming offensive-minded coach to replace Bylsma. Liked him as a player as well.

Was hoping we wouldn’t just take another guy that gets recycled around the league.

 

[FabricDetails]

No f***ing way LMFAO

Why this reaction?

Much less hair than Bylsma brought to the table as well

 

[Hammettf2b]

Why this reaction?

THE RIVALRY IS STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT!!!

 

[Martinez]

Our next head coach

 

[lilidk]

He doesn't have any coaching experience isn't he?. He was highly skilled pass first with very high shooting percentage. I was expecting someone who replaces Blashill. Tanguey is nice an quiet guy, I don't expect him replace Blashill, I don't like this move

 

[golffuul]

At least he's played the game at a high level, so he has experience. It might just work.

THE RIVALRY IS STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT!!!

LOL, as soon as I saw the news I headed straight here for this. I lived in Colorado from 95-98 so I'm one of the very few that liked both teams.

I think Stevie nailed it again. I said this team needs a guy with NHL level scoring experience that can teach skills as well as tactics. The guy had a career 18.6 SH% and played on both special teams, peaking at 29 PP points in 05-06. That's more than double Helm, Bylsma, and Houda's combined career total.

He would have to smoke crack every morning to be worse than Disco.

Thank you Stevie. You gave me what I wanted, I forgive you for extending Blash, lol.
