Cangy : "Jesper SHOT....SCAAAR!!"

Dano : "Which one, Cangy?"

Cangy : "We'll sort it out after the break, Dano!!!"

Just be glad Jesper Fast ended up in Carolina.

a swede line would be nice. Holtz - Boqvist - Zetterlund

Holtz as the shooter, B is the playmaker and Z the powerforward.

Especially when they have Grönborg as the head coach in 2 years.

What's the deal with Gronborg and why does everyone like him?

I think when/if he's hired he'll be a very successful coach. I also think the NHL has a "good ol boys" vibe to its coaches. So many of these guys get chance after chance and very few clubs think outside of the box. NJ at least asked to speak to him but Zurich told him they weren't letting him out of his deal. He has a new one that has a NHL out though. I've posted a link that talks about his coaching philosophy if you want to take a look. Why the NHL might finally be ripe for a European coach - Sportsnet.ca

I appreciate this and will read up on it. Is he a hot candidate to be an NHL coach or is this just a coach the Devils looked into.

I think if the NHL ever looks outside of a North American coach he'd be the first guy people would call. He's coached pretty much every NHL player who played on Sweden's World Cup teams, WJC teams, etc.

I just finished read that article, absolutely love his approach. Clearly has had some success at different levels and seems like his players like him. Added benefit that he might be what Johnsson needs to finally get going.

I just think he could get Bratt going in a massive way and would really be good for our younger players. Plus maybe Swedes around the league would entertain the idea of playing for him when they hit UFA.

I will say I really have liked what Ruff has done, but if we went after Gronborg I would certainly be excited.

Holtz playing in his first game with Bingo tonight. 2 shots so far.

 

[Devs3cups]

Game over, Bing lost 3-2. Holtz with 5 shots on net. He looked real good with Thompson. Great release, underrated passing.

The man looks like a damn Viking. Who wouldn't want that behind their bench?
