Stock shares of chewing gum are soaring.

He’s a good coach. He just gets too hung up on certain players.

 

[Rich Nixon]

He's a good coach. I'm happy.

How does AV continue to get head coaching jobs

Because he has a pretty good record? I mean he gets a lot of shit but he is better than the average NHL coach imo. He got a lot out of a NYR team with no elite skaters and a poor defensive group.

As a NYR fan i certainly know he has his weaknesses but all coaches do. AV doesnt trust his young players and isnt great at developing you talents. I do think he is a good coach when it comes to getting the most out of a group of players and with the skill level they have right now though. I think he will do fine in Philly, they need a coach that can help them win now and they have top end talent. I dont think AV is a bad choice in that situation.

I don’t understand the hate, the guy have bring his 2 last team in the final. Look at the last HC that won the Cup(Trotz,Suillvan,Quennville,Sutter,Julien). They where all guys with experience and who where not with there 1st team.

AV is a good hire for the next 3ish years. That's about it tho. So flyers fans should be excited for the near term future.

i love this hire and i question the haters, who else do you want? after av, it's slop.

 

[Juicy Pop]

I'm happy with this. AV is a lot better than most will give him credit for.

 

[780il]

He'll be really good for the first couple of years... Then you'll hate him

 

[Lays]

I wrote on the Flyers board a week or so ago that AV wasn’t the right fit for them, not going to go into detail but his style won’t fit imo

Although I do think Flyers fans will like him at first, they’ll turn on him within a year and a half or so

Every player on the Rangers roster progressively got worse each and every year under AV.

Kreider, Miller, McDonagh, Hayes, Nash, Stepan, Zuccarello, etc.

 

[Zerotonine]

Man could you imagine being fired multiple times in your field of work only to be rehired constantly????

And get this your paid millions on top of it all .

HF posters are all future NHL-coaches-in-waiting who could easily have steered the 2014 New York Rangers to a Stanley Cup victory.

 

[Vachon23]

Every player on the Rangers roster progressively got worse each and every year under AV.

But the Rangers never have been that close to Win a Cup since 1994

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

YES! Hahaha, YES!

Enjoy Tanner Glass.

In other news, the Buffalo Sabres have changed their minds and re-hired Phil Housley.

He went to the finals in his last two coaching jobs. It's not like he was a failure the last time around . Almost every coaching gig only lasts a few years. Its rare for coaches to last more than 4 season in general. Doesn't even really matter what sport you're looking at coaches that last 10 or more years are really really rare.

So like every coach.

AV also won a lot of playoff series against Pens, Caps etc when NYR had a worse team on paper imo. I think he is a solid coach that fits the win now mentality in Philly very well.

 

[MMC]

Does anyone know who else the Flyers interviewed or showed interest in?

 

[Finnish your Czech]

How good is he at corsi and PDO?

 

[C0DITH]

So like every coach.

Literally lol

 

[780il]

So like every coach.

Pretty much lol

Philly, you get what you deserve with this one.
