Pre-Game Talk: Bruins @ Penguins 12/18/15

[The Old Master]

I'm in for 100$ too if you lend it to me.

I got $1.98

Better than nothing!

I'll pay you back when the Pens win another cup...

Into the Heart of Darkness... I still predict the Pens to win every game though... I friggin' hate losing to the Bruins.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

So I am at the game, browsing my program, and the page on Tocchet says that his role as a coach is 'working closely with the teams' forwards'. So he went from coaching the power play, which sucked, to coaching the forwards, who couldn't score on an empty net.

Now it all makes sense

Awesome...

wtf?

Why the hell wasn't Tocchet fired based on his 'work' anyway?

 

[Sidney BrOSSby*]

Tochett should be the strength and conditioning coach.

I'm sure Rick is telling them to pick corners and not put yourself in position for rebound opportunities.

I think Rask has it right. They want one shot goals.

He also does the pre-scout.

 

[djt153]

keeping a goalie coach seems far different than keeping one assistant coach. if for no other reason than optics they shouldve let tocchet go. having kept him they shouldve explained why he was an adequate performer when the others were not. keeping him and reducing his role just the worst of both worlds.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

You can't use GF/60 as a meaningful stat and complain about small sample sizes in the same sentence.

He had produced well with very limited opportunities until his return to the line-up when they were curtailed even further. I don't see why those two ideas can't co-exist.
