Player Discussion Jeremy Coupal Appreciation Thread

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Not sure what kind of tag I'm supposed to use so I'll just go with this. This guy just straight up stole the game today. Our video reviews and challenges have been stellar with him on board.

Now if only Campbell would do what he’s paid to do too!

Normally, I would say, "why the hell is there a thread for video guy", but he deserves one! His decisions are gold, Jerry, pure gold!

Proof positive that it takes everyone on the team to win in this league.

I guess the best way to counter shitty refs is to hire a good video coach.

I don't remember the Oilers losing many challenges and it seems the ones they did loose left me thinking "how the hell did that challenge not be accepted". Given how random the NHL can be with its decisions this guy has an amazing record of success.

I think you guys are right. According to this site, the Oilers are 6-0 on interference challenges, and 7-1 on offside challenges.

Pretty much everytime there is a challenge the commentating team use to make a comment how it's probably going to be overturned as this guy knows his shit.

I think what is worth noting is how quickly he has to make a decision. It's not like you have 5 minutes to review calls and then call down to the bench

I bet Campbell appreciates him too.

Is that what the video review guy's name is?

You shouldn't have expose him, now some other team will steal him.

This guy has no joke literally helped us win multiple games.

That’s crazy. Remember when we lost like 13 in a row?

I believe that one miss was the one where they ruled McDavid lost possession mid deke and ruled it offside.

I still think they got that one wrong.

Edit: Nevermind. That challenge would have been initiated by the other team. Derp.

I think he'll eventually be promoted.

I'm sure Woody has a soft spot for him as that's the position Woody started his NHL career as.

Also worth mentioning there are two guys according to Woody that are in the video department. Assuming the other is Noah Segall.

Was quite interesting to listen to Woody describe the team and their role.

The only problem with promoting Coupal is he’s as good as anyone in the league at his job. Anyone you hire to replace him is likely a step down. Not to mention, who does he replace? Manson is Woody’s guy, and the organization clearly loves Gulutzan considering he’s been here through 4 coaches now

I don't think being video means you automatically want to go into coaching. It's kind of a get your foot into the door type of position.

Now he has been doing it for 10 years so maybe he really likes it.

Either way I don't know that he'd be leaving the Oiler organization anytime soon especially for the same job. I mean what can he really make where you couldn't just be like here's an extra 30-50k to stay?

As for replacing him you either look around the league or promote Noah.
