Craig MacTavish hired as Lokomotiv head coach (and fired - 09/24/19)

[Todd Parchment]

I thought this as well... Why coaching and not management?

He’s a coach at heart.

"Hey Craig, we really liked your evaluation of Nikitin and Belov. We're going to send you over to Russia to see if you can uncover any more gems"

Coach is a bizarre move is it not? Senior VP of Hockey Ops with an NHL club to coaching a KHL team?

I mean, Kreuger went from running a soccer team in Europe to head coach in the NHL. I feel like that's more bizzare than this.

I can't post gifs on my work computer but it would be somebody doing a happy dance.
This is was the only way that MacT would leave the organization and it's glorious. It's like a dream come true, honestly.

Now it's time for Howson and co. to find "other opportunities".

Personally I think MacT loves coaching more than the managing aspect.

Probably a smart move, he was better as a coach than in management anyway.

I was thinking the Elaine, George, Jerry dance from Seinfeld but this will do.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I liked the shit out of the main post.

Wish I could like it 3000 times.

 

[PaPaDee]

I’m shocked.

KEN HOLLAND IS THE BEST!!!

 

[McBooya42]

Sorry for our loss. A good man who only wanted to help the organization. Would have been a good assistant coach. Lokimotiv got a good one, I bet they flourish.

Go home Todd, you're drunk.

 

[CupofOil]

I’m shocked.

I have a feeling that he knew Holland might let him go and bolted before that happened.
Holland already paying dividends boys.

 

[GMofOilers]

Change is on its way, its official now.

[CycloneSweep]

Yessss

 

[Joey Moss]

Does Lokomotiv need an Assistant GM?

You give MacT way too much credit.

It's a nice thing but let's see more bodies hit the floor.

Am I still asleep dreaming? Or did a OBC member just get turfed?

Why is it weird? He coached the Oilers for 8 seasons.

Where's the Ken Holland - Vince McMahon gif?

 

[Beerfish]

Why coaching and not management? I doubt if he would get even one call for a management position it was a simple scout or something.

In the shuffling madness
Of the lokamotiv breath,
Runs the all, time loser,...

Awesome!
