Confirmed with Link: Avalanche Adds Bennett, Parkkila to Coaching Staff

[CalderKing21]

Where are the naysayers? This feels weird.

Bruh, we had Tim Army and Dave Farrish for multiple seasons. There is no possible way we could do worse.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Speaks volumes when we know absolutely nothing about the hire and we are planning a parade. Nothing can be as bad as it's been.

So, I'm not going to sit here and pretend as if I know what this guy did. I won't call these great hires. I will just say thanks for the change. Let's see what happens.

Bruh..we re-hired Tony Granato as a HC after demoting him for failing to be able to show the leadership skills necessary for leading an NHL All-Star team to fight its way out of a wet paper bag.

The AVs then hired three straight HC's without one day of NHL experience between them.

Don't ever jinx this club saying they can't do worse. Since 2003, it's been a **** show and until they make the playoffs three years in a row, any bit of improvement should be viewed skeptically and considered an anomaly.

Sacco's hire was God awful to begin with. No one can defend that atrocious hire.
Roy and Bednar hires made sense, they had impressive resumes with championship wins in their respective divisions and a track record of success.

We can't do any worse than the sheer ineptitude of Army and Farrish. It's not even close to possible.

You're just asking for a "hold my beer" moment from them, aren't you?

I just simply refuse to believe our coaching staff can be any dumber and more useless than Army and Farrish.
I will have to see it for me to believe it.

^Its almost like every subsequent post is another shovel scoop of the hole you are jinxing the team into for the love of god please make it stop

Yeah I'm with you, can't really be any worse

 

[Pokecheque]

Yeah I'm with you, can't really be any worse

You obviously weren't a Nuggets fan in the 90s.

Ha, point taken. Actually I really wasn't. But still, point taken, lol

 

[Pokecheque]

Yeah, trust me, if ANYTHING taught me that it can always be worse, it was the 90s-era Nuggets. There was no bottom.

I was a Grizzlies fan lmao

 

[CalderKing21]

You obviously weren't a Nuggets fan in the 90s.

You could be a Bulls fan now.

It seems like "it can't get any worse than this" has been a thing for this team for about a decade now.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Really cited for parkkila.

Hoping he has a great impact on varlamov.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

This Parkkila lad is pure gold.

Just heard some really interesting things about his approach, refreshing and modern. Seems like our goaltenders love him, too.

 

[Papa Francouz]

This Parkkila lad is pure gold.

Just heard some really interesting things about his approach, refreshing and modern. Seems like our goaltenders love him, too.

Have you seen his hair? That's my favorite part about him.

 

[UncleRisto]

This Parkkila lad is pure gold.

Just heard some really interesting things about his approach, refreshing and modern. Seems like our goaltenders love him, too.

He's had a great track record around Europe, so it's nice to see him doing well here too.

 

[Foppberg]

Isn't Parkkila Varlys long time coach?

 

[UncleRisto]

Isn't Parkkila Varlys long time coach?

Not exactly, they just used to work together. Not sure about off-season camps though.

 

[Piestany88]

Isn't Parkkila Varlys long time coach?

Yes he was when Varly was younger

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Isn't Parkkila Varlys long time coach?

Yeah, Parkkila’s first head coaching job was with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv from 2006-2008. He coached Varly for 33 games before Varly came over to Hershey.

 

[Pokecheque]

I'm jealous of this man's hair. In the season opener it looked even crazier than this.
