Nice! We all knew he wasn’t going to add anything to the team before they even hired him. Glad we are able to get out from that problem.

Was anything like this reported before? First I've heard of it.

Dwork too!

Not surprising. I wanted to choke a few of these guys sometimes. If I was behind these guys on the bench I'd probably follow through.

Get Paul McFarland back.

This kinda illustrates that Q's coaching team hasn't probably faced a situation like this before where the players aren't internally motivated to work their hardest. Therefore, guys like Kitchen resort to applying direct pressure which in a leadership position rarely works, especially in the long-term. You just have to find guys who are motivated and quit hiring players who are just looking forward to country club atmosphere and happy-go-lucky attitude on the ice.

Imagine being the guy that has to coach Matheson. You would snap too.

Get Paul McFarland back.

He's back in OHL now.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Stillman, he seems a bit squirrely like his pops.

Man some of the comments in here. I was not disappointed lol. You guys are awesome.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Could this be why he opted out during the play in games as well?

WTF?
I mean I'm happy to see him gone, but "physical altercation with a player"? Then again it's the Panthers so why am I even surprised

 

[SoupyFIN]

I'll wait for more information on this, but the timing seems strange for this to be initiated by the team. Did the player go past them and escalate this straight to the NHLPA or/and league?

Especially since it’s Mike Kitchen. He got into an altercation with Horton when he was with us before. But I don’t think that one was considered “physical”.

In before footage surfaces of Kitchen engaging on a tickling match with Yandle on the bench.

Our D and D coach are a dumpster fire.

Most likely.

Good riddance to this f***ing bum. Mike Kitchen is nothing but a hack and has never had any idea how to run anything on an NHL team. Always great to hire a defensive coach that was a career -139 and was never a PLUS in his ENTIRE shit tier career.

Hiring him was a disaster waiting to happen, and here we are.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Kitchen, you stupid worthless f***.

 

[MintyFresh88]

I'm not really sad about this at all. Need a new look on the back-end on and off the ice.

This could be why there was some speculation about us being linked to Todd Reirden after Washington let him go.

And as soon as we have the footage I need to have a complete breakdown of it.

GR's post notes that Feb 25th saw Derek MacKenzie come to ice level: Report: Mike Kitchen out as Panthers assistant after altercation

He implies that something could have happened then. Anyone remember anything?

Yandle was a minus 4 in this game and Matheson didnt even play

Put them together and i would do only left and rights on the Bench, everytime they miss a Hit.


Sorry been Florida Panthers Defensiv Coach with this current Pairs aint easy. It´s also more interisting who comes in, what kind of Game does he bring along. As bad as listen, two of the best defensiv Coaches still working for other Teams. as far i like McFarland back as special Team Coach, we need first a working defensiv System.

But lets be fair, wouldnt it be someone important to the Team, that thing never hit the Light twice.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Everything about this team is so damn unlikable right now. Huge contrast to the Marlins right now. Can't even believe I'm saying that.
