Confirmed with Link: John MacLean and Scott Allen to join Coyotes Coaching Staff

[rt]

Yep.

Yeeeeeeup

 

[Grimes]

He has to go. It has cost us games. Have we scored on the 5 on 3 yet?

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I see slow processing on the part of the forwards on the PP. Lack of practice? They seem to play at 80% game speed. This is what costs them clean shots on goal and also costs them all these short handed attempts. Not every player has to process the game fast, but we need at least a few of them on the PP to make it work.

Cousins, for all the crap he takes, processes the game fast and deserves his power play time. Domi, Keller and Stepan do not.

Yup. Lack of puck movement and player movement on the PP is evident to anyone watching. They are looking for the one great shot, but they can't find it because everyone is standing still. Very easy to defend against.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

agreed, we took our team to the game yesterday...if anyone was there, our team were the idiot kids behind the Vancouver goalie about 20 rows up. Gosh, what a bunch of morons, anyway, yes, there is 'zero' movement on the PP and we the coaches were pointing that out to our team. Gotta have movement on the PP otherwise, you do exactly what the Yotes did yesterday, how many shots were blocked? Almost all of them. If you don't move, you can't get those PKers to break that box/diamond that most teams run.

Yep.

Yep.

The Allen hire I can understand and appreciate.

The MacLean hire I am extremely skeptical of. I hate to be the Debbie Downer but...

PP% NHL Rank:

02/03 NJD: (First NHL AC Job)
03/04 NJD: 30th out of 30
04/05 NJD: (Lock Out)
05/06 NJD: 18th out of 30
06/07 NJD: 15th out of 30
07/08 NJD: 21th out of 30
08/09 NJD: 16th out of 30
09/10 NJD: (Hired as AHL HC)
10/11 NJD: 29th out of 30 (Promoted to NHL HC and fired mid season)
11/12 CAR: 20th out of 30 (mid season replacement as NHL AC)
12/13 CAR: 29th out of 30
13/14 CAR: 28th out of 30

...this is EXTREMELY damning stuff. I know that I said the "fit is more important than the sum of past accomplishments" but this is REALLY terrible. That's his entire NHL coaching career right there. He's been the Forwards/PP coach every years he's been an NHL AC and he's had a consistently ineffective to terrible PP every single year. All of them are bad. Not one season with an effective PP.

The average PP% Rank of his 8 NHL AC seasons is 22nd out of 30.

The Carolina teams were pretty bad. None made the playoffs but they weren't terrible and weren't without some offensive weapons.

The Devils, though, were actually good during his time there. Consistently made the playoffs with him as AC and had some star power during his entire tenure. And yet the PP was just trash by comparison.

08-09 Division Winners
07-08 4th Seed in East
06-07 Division Winners
05-06 Division Winners
03-04 6th Seed in East
02-03 Division Winners

That's 4/6 seasons where they won their division and 6/6 season where they qualified for the playoffs (and never even as low as the last two seeds).

And yet...PP%

03/04 NJD: 30th out of 30
04/05 NJD: (Lock Out)
05/06 NJD: 18th out of 30
06/07 NJD: 15th out of 30
07/08 NJD: 21th out of 30
08/09 NJD: 16th out of 30

Yep.

...it's no wonder he was out of coaching. I'd say he probably should've stayed out of coaching. This is truly unacceptable.

Yep.

 

[Grimes]

Hahaha

What is going to make this worse is if/when Chucky comes back and can help us start scoring on the PP. It wont mean McClean did anything to get it going but we will keep him around longer...

 

[rt]

I thought Chayka was a stats guy? Look at MacLeans statistical efficacy when coaching the PP in the NHL over the course of his career. The numbers speak for themselves. This hire was akin to signing Paul Bissonnette to an NHL contract right now and stating he’s going to replace what we’re missing in Galchenyuk and Dvorak. That Biznasty is our new #1C. Clearly his professional resume and career numbers show that just isn’t true.

 

[RABBIT]

I got excited when i saw a confirmed with link tag next to this. I thought we fired Maclean's bum-ass

 

[Lilhoody]

I hope you guys also post this on Twitter, IG and FB and @ the Coyotes in the posts and responses. Essentially virtual "boos" to create change

 

[moosemeister]

Fire every f***ing coordinator of every pro sport in Arizona. Every one of them.

 

[Mosby]

Should have kept Newell Brown and let Tocchet decide whether he wanted to keep him, rather than let Tippett fire him and then fire Tippett two months later.

Nyah.... rt was on a roll last night.

Had it been Halloween we’d have seen more dead raised than just one necrothread.

It’s just it was so plainly obvious how it would work out. And here we are. MacLean is performing exactly as he’s performed for his entire career. He’s getting exactly the results he’s always had. Why in the f*** would they hire this guy? It’s so stupid it’s unbelievable.

 

[Mosby]

We must have interviewed the wrong MacLean.

Cheap and available. That was the theme.

I’ll take him. Right now.

 

[Summer Rose]

Bring back Jim Playfair

 

[Lilhoody]

Post what?

Negativity and facts to the organization...specifically re MacLean and his PP.

 

[Mosby]

I’ll take him. Right now.

Same. He was high on my list at the time. Same with Tim Hunter, though he's probably going to be a HC next.
