His greatest success came with the Oilers with whom he played from the start of his career in the 1980–81 season until the end of the 1990–91 season. He would tally 368 points in 694 regular season games, and 77 points in 138 playoff games.

Sorry but I fail to see what the point of this thread is

Huddy has always seemed to have good communications with younger and veteran players. I think goaltending and a team commitment to defence has made for this Thread.
Kumbiya.

What about the wade flaherty appreciation thread. That's another guy everyone wanted to string up.

Didn't want to string him up. Just fire his ass.

For both of them, I think it is enough to simply put away the tar and feathers - and ropes.

Because he doesnt deserve one.... one good season vs 6 awful ones.... we dont even know how helle turned it around but it looks like his summer work.

I vaguely remember a story after year 1 regarding Huddy and the way he treated players. It may have actually been a story about Bogosian, and the respect he had for Huddy, and might have been told by Bogo's dad. He said that Bogosian's first 2-3 years in Atlanta were difficult for him to adjust because of the way Todd Nelson coached. The way it sounded was Todd Nelson was very harsh in how he treated players, nothing would ever be praised, and just a loud personality in general. I think it was said that Huddy was the type of coach that players would run into brick walls for, which is interesting because Friedman recently mentioned that Paul Maurice is considered a "players coach" but wasn't always seen that way.

Could be part of the reason Maurice retained most of Claude Noel's coaching staff.
