A message from Dave to Peter Mueller and some of the other young guys who might make the squad...
That is just awesome.

Maloney also met with Peter Laviolette, former coach of the New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes, but thought Tippett "and his personality" was a better fit.
rt are you suggesting something about Mueller?
Quenneville & Tippett - the stache line is absolutely priceless. Thank you sir.
You know, it's funny, Q and Tip played together for most of each other's careers. I was taking a look at Tip's career, season by season, and Q is there for most of the Whalers days, and then even moves on to the Penguins, and maybe even one other team(Caps, maybe?). The vast majority of each man's games played in the NHL had the other man starting in the same games.
Looks EXACTLY like Bill the Butcher!
Won't b e Bill. He lives outside of Philadelphia and has a contract with Roigers Sports in Canada.The rumor is Bill Clement. If it comes to fruition they'd be the best hockey broadcast team in the world. National, or otherwise.
Laviolette's also missed the playoffs 4 of 5 seasons as a coach. GMDM got the right guy.I like Laviolette's flashy offensive system, a lot. He really took the new NHL by suprise following the lock-out. Carolina fans will tell you that it's become less and less effective as the quirks of the new game get worked out, though. Laviolette probably would've been my guy, but I think he's definitely more of a gamble than Tippett. With Tippett you can be sure you're getting a guy that's going to fit in really well, and who will certainly be a huge upgrade on what we've had previously. With Laviolette we could hit a home run, or we could strike out. I'm not sure that's something we can afford, right now. Not at this crucial moment, as the franchise hangs by a thread. Plus, the moustache upside on Laviolette isn't even in the same league as Tippett. So, I gues what I'm saying is that even though I've been pimping Laviolette since the day he got fired, the news that it came down to him and somebody else, and the fact that we went with somebody else, doesn't really disapoint me like I thought it would. Tippett seems like just what we need. I just really hope the right choice was made.
Did he sign on elsewhere?Shame about Bill Clement, would have been a good fit stache-wise
Did he sign on elsewhere?
According to a post above, he has a contract with Rogers in Canada unfortunately.
Man I hope that's not the case! Clement is about the only guy I can think of that I would be happy with as a replacement for Panger.According to a post above, he has a contract with Rogers in Canada unfortunately.
Anyone want to take a stab at Tippets opening night lines?
How bout ice-times?
Is going to feature guys like The Bum and Boedker over Upshall/Lombardi?
What's going to happen to Hanzal? Is tippet going to play him as Defensive player or give him a more offensive role (i.e. PP time)?
Does anyone know where I can purchase a retro Whalers Dave Tippett jersey?
Does anyone know what Dave Tippets salary is? Surely it has to be less than $1.6 million?
No worries if you don't know since I know management salaries are not required to be reported.
