Sure. Why not.

 

[Lunatik]

This makes sense. Savy runs the offense, Lambert the defense and MacLain remains the eye-in-the-sky relaying info to Huska, Lambert & Savy.

Maybe he's just indicating he too once left calgary

Maybe he's just indicating he too once left calgary

I believe he also asked to be traded because he was pissed at Sutter.

Savard is getting in his early career reps here so he can split to Beach country. Sour grapes I know. Ah he could be an alright addition. Maybe Conny will sell Calgary on him long term.

Greg Gilbert actually; who (ironically) was fired about a week after Savard had his trade request fulfilled. Darryl Sutter 1.0 arrived later in the season

Why does that look more like a mugshot than an a good profile pic?

 

[Ace Rimmer]

So is there not an associate coach this season?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Savvy has not aged well. Always struck me as a pretty sharp guy though, even if he's rounder than before.

Welcome aboard. Imagine he'll be the PP man.

 

[Anglesmith]

Marccc Savard.

I'm guessing this was our backup plan for if Love left. Nice to get the old gang back together

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Can he play center still?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Mildly surprised by this. Friedman was saying it was rumored that he didnt want to be an assistant but head coach only.

Good hiring move. I think he can definitely get more out of Hube.

Glad to see Cail MacLean stay on with the Flames as an assistant!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I was curious and decided what the other member of the SIN line from the young guns era

Spoiler

Andrei Nazarov

was doing these days...

Apparently he's coaching in the KHL (Sochi). Should have Iggy ring him up.

Maybe Savard did well in the interviews and was the candidate they wanted (over Love) all along for the Assistant Coach job?

Best of luck to Marc Savard. That man knows how to run a power play.

Loved him as a player in Boston.

Also....I LOVE getting Looch back!
