Our PP unit could be Yan-Hubie-Pan-Bar-Hoff.
In every aspect of the game too much credit/ blame is given to the coachSpecial teams are volatile as is, I think too much credit and grief is given to the coaches in respect to this.
Na you dont fire an excellent coach for an unknown. This is bad but expected news.I havent seen anything stating Kitchens was a definite. We know they are all good friends, but his "friendships" seemed to be downplayed a bit when the assistant coaches question came up.
Same guy. No way to put a positive spin on this hire.Torn with the Kitchen hiring but then again this team is very different than he last was here

I agree that Bo may have overthought it. And that’s like the coach declaring, I’m smarter so players have to do as I think. In reality it’s probably better to say, here are the basic things I want you to do right every shift. And then you players use your creativity to make magic happen once the basic flow is under control.Q has already stated how basic and straight forward his systems are. The players need to buy in and hopefully it happens quickly. This team has solid PP players and I don’t see that being an issue regardless of who is actually “responsible” for it behind the bench. Not sure if it’ll be as good as it was this season, but if we get some goaltending and stop sucking at 5v5, it won’t have to be.
If anything, I think maybe Boughner made things too complicated in terms of his systems and philosophies and was too stubborn to change things when they weren’t working.
Why tho? Defense was probably the best part of the team back then I thought..even with the one weak link player...Torn with the Kitchen hiring but then again this team is very different than he last was here

One thing he did say is he feels that maybe the preperation for games wasnt there.
Players better not show up to the game wearing a tan
Don’t know if there will be a third assistant..
Horse racing.What do you guys think Q is doing to prepare for the season? Sounds like he already has a system prepared. Do you think he’s going to watch every game or study players individually or is he just taking time off until the season starts?

Lots of SPA visits and steam room visits with Panarin.What do you guys think Q is doing to prepare for the season? Sounds like he already has a system prepared. Do you think he’s going to watch every game or study players individually or is he just taking time off until the season starts?
This is interesting though because he is currently the Wild's assistant GM (was promoted from assistant coach a few years back). He must want to get back into coaching.
Well with the draft coming up and the summer prospects camp, I don't know how much involved in that he is. I'm sure has a routine for preparing. But he's probably combining some new things with that, with coming to a new team. I think he'll probably want to study his players pretty good, get to know them. Get to know the organization, the prospects and such.What do you guys think Q is doing to prepare for the season? Sounds like he already has a system prepared.
