2019-20 Head Coach of the Detroit Red Wings- Dan Bylsma

 

[Ricelund]

Seeing Bylsma behind the bench is just going to remind me of 2009.

God, Disco Dan sucks. I’m glad he’s not the head coach, but I’m not thrilled.

Well to his credit he did make it to the Cup in '08, and won in '09...That says sumthin.

Therien was the coach of the 2008 team, and I wasn’t exactly impressed with his coaching effort in 2009. Had our team not been destroyed by injuries, we would have repeated. He then underperformed with two top twenty players of all time for the next 6 years or so.

Oh crap - that's right about Therrien...Totally forgot about that.

No problem with this. Doesn’t hurt to get a coach with Cup experience behind the bench.

Plus he could help with our PP, which went south the second half of last season.

It'd certainly be hard to do any worse on the PP (24th)

or the PK (23rd)

or Goal scoring (28th)

or Goals Against (23rd)

or ROWs (30th)...

That depends. What's your dog's stance on the Helm and Abdelkader contracts?

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Gallant disagrees.

I think this "beat kids over the head with their mistakes until they become so scared to make any that they stop playing anything even sort of approaching actual hockey" is absolutely asinine, and is a large part of why the team has stopped being fun to watch and why the kids we bring up tend to stagnate.

Lets not pretend that Gallant would not ride AA's ass and park his lazy ass on the bench if he gave GG the same lazy, inconsistent effort that he gives Blash.
