He's going to get it. He's phenomenal.
Worth it.

Now that McLellan is fired all the bad stuff about him comes out. Stauffer says management wanted Puljujarvi playing in the top six, McLellan barely gave him a chance and instead had him wasting away on the third or fourth line.
Manny Viveiros was hired as an assistant this season (best PP% in the CHL last year) to fix the power play. Two Oiler players told Jason Gregor that Manny was given zero input on the PP.
We need to hear the Hak version of these stories.
It's like we could just change the names and come pretty close to the truth.
Hey now....we can't blame Hextall for not firing any coaches when the team is not perfect yet.Except the GM lacks the balls to do anything about it.

Excellent hire by the Oilers. There isn’t a coach out there who will eliminate that team’s awful habits like Hitchcock.
Yeah, only issue I'd have is paying him that over 7 years, he'll be 28 next year so you'd be paying that for ages 31-34 when he'll probably be very good but not 1st line material. He's not the most committed defensive player, so if his offense falls off, so does his value as he ages.
yes. It's terrible.Does Price have the scariest contract in the league? He's at .900 since he signed it.
Exactly his system is designed to slow the game down and at that pace rest of their roster will be finally able to keep up.It’s just interim, but Oilers will absolutely get a boost under Hitch. He’s exact coach that team needs
and this is why Hak should go. Pp worse. Pk is worse (like dead last worst). Where is any evidence of improvement?Now we just suck all the way across the board.
yes. It's terrible.
So an assistant coach can bear the public responsibility for a foundering special teams unit when the stubborn head coach is really in control and micromanaging it? Hmm.

it's not even expensive, it's obscenely expensive...like 2m past reason expensive...and signed forever.Yep, hard to think of something more cap inefficient than an expensive goalie that under-performs.

I think so too.I think there is a chance Lappy doesn't actually coach the PK and that he is just a "players coach." The PK philosophy falls right in line with Hakstols overall philosophy.

Every time someone says something like this, I mentally check how much time would be left on Bryzgalov’s contract. It’s my Martin Erat.
142 regular season games remaining. Thanks, Gary. Did us a solid.
so did our owner. Essentially said I don't need 20m...bye...Every time someone says something like this, I mentally check how much time would be left on Bryzgalov’s contract. It’s my Martin Erat.
