Who?

 

[Chainshot]

Who?

Recently dismissed Calgary Flames head coach.

 

[Shootica]

Who?

The guy that chucked a stick into the stands in a Flames' practice earlier this year.

Well, it's better than licking someone......

 

[HaNotsri]

Made the playoffs once out of four seasons as a headcoach in the NHL.

He was an assistant with Vancouver for three years, initially with Torts as HC and Mike Sullivan as the other assistant, then for two years under Willie Desjardins between his stint as the Stars HC and the Flames HC.

 

[Revelate]

Well the Flames were terrible at home and had an awful PP so he will feel right at home.

 

[Paxon]

Can't really judge head coaches as they'd be as assistants or vice versa.

 

[Chainshot]

Friedman said he's in conversation with two teams for an assistant position and a number of teams as AHL head coach. Buffalo is one of the teams.

 

[MayDay]

Maybe it’s a comment on how little attention I pay the Calgary Flames, but I’d honestly never heard this name before.

Phil Housley. Hot seat. Collision course.

Nothing to see here until there’s something to see here.
Mountain out of molehill time.

It's newsworthy at least in so much as the team is talking to someone about an assistant position.

Newsworthy. Yes.

 

[Buffaloed]

I'm glad the Sabres have recognized the need to add more experienced assistants.

 

[flashsabre]

Edmonton and Buffalo are the two NHL teams.

The Housley assistant coach search was just bizarre. It took so long and then it was like they pulled the two most random names out of a hat. If Housley is back I hope they upgrade his assistant coaches in a big way.

Gulu would be a significant upgrade over what we have, excepting Davis Payne.

 

[CaptPantalones]

Well, I see a lot of sticks may wind up in the stands at harborcenter if they practice anywhere near like they did this year

Gulutzan material is at the end of this clip.

Was going to post this exact sentiment. Payne can stay.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

It is always worth looking into anything that can help. Even if his success has been maligned as of late, Gulutzen is at least another voice in the room with Payne that allows you to listen.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Lets bring in more losers

 

[Zip15]

Lets bring in more losers

We should bring in guys whose teams won a lot when they served as assistants. They'll help us win more games.

*looks at Housley*

Welp, nevermind.
