Confirmed with Link: Bob Boughner hired as an Assistant Coach

[sr228]

Figured this would get buried in the DeBoer thread so thought I'd post a new one.

I expect the other asst (or two?) to be announced today as well

And right after I posted it the Sharks official announcement...it also includes Hedberg as an asst/goalie coach. Both good hirings.

Boogeyman!

Has worked well with youngsters in the OHL, coach of the year twice.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

No idea how he is as a coach, but man did I love the Boogeyman when he played on those mid-to-late 90s Sabres teams! Gonna be cool to see him behind the bench.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He was an outstanding junior coach. I approve.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Don't know him, but I do like that last name, so good hire.

 

[Nighthock]

Love it.

And Mooooooose is back.

With Hedberg now on DeBoer staff, Corey Schwab no longer with #SJSharks

This sums up how I feel

Liked Boughner as a player. Played a physical tough brand of hockey. Solid defensively.

Hopefully can work with a few of our D-men.

He may end up working with the defense but that is very much NOT his coaching style.

He's all about pushing the pace and dmen jumping into the rush.

Yep. D-men making plays with the puck, moving it quickly out of their zone and joining the attack.

Not a lot of chipping it out / chipping it in going on with his teams & hopefully that's how they want the Sharks defense to play as well.

They have the horses to play that way.

With Hannan and Irwin out and Martin in, I think we do too.

Even with Hannan or Irwin (or Stuart, Murray, etc) in the line up they've had the horses to play that way for a while...McLellan has always been risk averse when it came to NZ play.

DeBoer might have a bit of the same thought process about zone entries but he seems like he might give the D quite a bit more leeway on the breakout.

I brought this up in another thread, but when Todd first got here (in his "God" McLellan heyday), I don't remember him being risk adverse with regards to the D. So what changed?

Dunno, was it when Woodcroft was promoted to behind the bench?

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

good move, i also like hedberg as coach, etc.

i will be interested to see what nabby will be doing, if any thing, with the sharks

Nabby and some other personal?

Dan Boyle left.

Dan Boyle left.

It hasn't been only the last year.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Dan Boyle was the only one ever trusted to be creative on breakouts IIRC. Without him it was more evident that no one else was allowed to or could.

 

[SactoShark]

There was a Shark Byte once that showed a clip of them practicing breakouts or zone entries and Koala stopped the drill and yelled at everyone and said that Danny was the only one doing anything creative.

No take on the matter. Just thought I'd throw that out there, cuz i distinctly remembered it.

I noticed a couple of years ago at least when we became a boring team to watch on most nights.

Unfortunately, that was my 2nd year of regular fandom. So boring...

Kinda surprised at both Wayne Thomas and Corey Schwab both leaving at the same time. I wonder if anybody will replace Thomas as an assistant GM.
