YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS. Scott Howson you're next.

Also the twitter translate is awesome. His name is Craig Mctawiesh. I love it.

Holland has already accomplished more in 10 days than Chiarelli did in 4 years

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.

Alright Holland

You had my curiosity

But now you have my attention

bold!

Pretty sure he'd have stayed in North America if literally any other NHL team offered him a coaching job

Wait, did I miss when he got let go from Edmonton?

 

[Marty McSurly]

Ken "FULL autonomy" Holland. Nice lol

 

[BlackDogg]

Is this the tribute thread??
He saw the writing on the wall likely.

 

[Beerfish]

Never got an nhl job other than with the oilers if I am not mistaken. Says enough.

KH: Come over babe
Todd Nelson: I can't, I don't want to work for the Oilers organization
KH: I just exiled MacT to Russia

Likely knew his time here was coming to an end and jumped on this opportunity.

 

[slaman]

Wow cue Todd Nelson hiring!

 

[flashy]

Exiled to the gulag

I imagine there have been some meetings and a lot of people know whether they’re staying or going.

 

[Wewillrise]

LOL is this for real! Am I still dreaming

 

[PinSeeker]

Wow, surely a Holland result. Sensational start to a Thursday

 

[smokersarejokers]

Fantastic! I wish him a LONG and successful career in Russia.

 

[McGlassbangers]

Hopefully he does well in KHL. That's one down and countless others to go.

 

[PinSeeker]

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

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

One down, several more to go.

 

[booyakasha]

OBC meddling again.
I bet one of the boys heard McT was getting fired and informed him, so he signs for Lokomotiv, denying Holland the satisfaction of firing him....this OBC knows no bounds, vile.

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