Confirmed with Link: Jacques Martin named Special Assistant to the Head Coach

[TheGoldenJet]

This is just funny now, cue the clown music.

 

[66-30-33]

Some ****ed up ****. Don't hire greenies as coaches unless you're a rebuilding team or something. Pass the bong pipe around.

 

[Darth Vitale]

Who is the Assistant to the traveling secretary?

Best ask the Under-Secretary of Marketing Affairs for Sectors 1,3, and 8.

He's basically pro scouting and being an assistant at the same time.

So... the pro scouting is what's been added? I don't have a problem with that. Any new eyes / blood in the scouting team can't be all bad, although I have no idea if he's another "always look for N. Americans first" type.

 

[Waffle Fries]

And this makes people mad now because...?

I think some members of the board just have a default setting where every move is bad. This isn't even new information

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

So he went from "Pre-Scout Advisor" to "Special Assistant to the Head Coach?"

Hilarious.

 

[Jacob]

I don't see the big deal.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Jacques Martin confirmed for Illuminati.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

No big deal. I like Martin just fine.

I'm just laughing a bit at the middle-management-nightmare title.

I don't see why the team with the most AGM's in hockey wouldn't have the most assistant coaches.

 

[Contender]

If Johnston doesn't work out, I see him taking over during the season. I assume that's a reason for the special part.

He's a teacher.

I don't see the big deal.

Seriously.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Thought I'd seen the last of Uncle Jack.

When will someone hire him to play The Penguin in the next Dark Knight movie? That really should be his calling.

I guess we now have the coach to bail Johnston's ass out after he gets fired 20 games into 2015-16.

It isn't, but the organization itself treats it as such. Did there really need to be an announcement?

**** I hate this team.

Casual fans probably didn't read the newspaper article and didn't know about the change. Why does it bother you that they wrote an article on their website? The PR and communications staff have a job to provide content and update the team's official page. It's not like they held a press conference or made a show of it.

Owners helping friends stay employed and draw an NHL paycheck. Morehouse, Guerin, Tocchet and now recycling Jacques Martin.

 

[ObsessedCreative*]

That title is the biggest joke of the whole thing. Im just picturing JM is a Ninja outfit, either that or a short bus helmet...

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I don't see the big deal.

Same here. But we've become a board that *****es about everything. Next topic to crap all over is Letang and the fact that his son's lapels are way too wide for his bespoke suit.

Right on & good one but i believe the misled ones are part of a master troll puppet handler's minority.

 

[SEALBound]

Can I be "HFBoards Ambassador"?

 

[bingobangobongo]

Viceroy.

You really think he'll be fired? Cute.

 

[crossicepass]

Another band-aid for the unrepairable situation.
