Been to the cup finals 3 times with 3 different teams, won the cup once.
1210 games coached. Won 637 games. Lost 425 games. 25 ties. 123 otl.
Playoffs he has a .524 win%
Looks like his best coaching was with the Preds and the Carolina cup winner. Philly was stacked. The Preds team too really. Great goaltending, widely considered one of the best D- core and excellent foster of forwards. Not saying he's isn't or wouldn't be good for the Sharks. Just wonder if the make up of the team works for him. To be honest he may not even want the Sharks job depending on what they do in the off season. He's going to have options and probably better ones. BB seems to have tuned into the right wave length with this team which isn't always guaranteed with a coach and their players.
Someone said they didn't think BB was putting the players in position to score... I completely disagree with that. Since the change the team has way more one time passes to forwards in the face-off circles and the slot. They just lack enough talented goal scorers to turn all those chances into goals.
Saying a coach has been fired 3 or 4 times in 10 years makes him sound pretty popular in this League.
Yeah probably. Looks like he's been in Nashville for quite a while though. I wonder what his record is against the Sharks. Just seems like whenever I watch his teams play (largely against the Sharks) they are unimpressive unless it's a high end player making a great play. It seems like that Nashville team has largely under achieved considering their roster. Maybe as much if not more than the Sharks over the same time period.
If PDB were to win the cup with Vegas this season he would have an equal or better coaching outcome than Lavi over a shorter period of time. Just something to consider.
I assume you're just being contrarian to pick a fight...? 
The purpose of literally every single team that cycles the puck is to get someone open inside the face off circles or the slot (roughly same distance to the net) for a one timer. The last goal the sharks scored was literally a one timer from the face off circles (Gregor). The goal of majority of PPs is to set up a one timer from that range. One timers from that range are literally the thing that collapsed this season and got PDB fired. Sharks gave that type of chance up like it was trick or treat for the first couple months of the season. The fact that they are working hard enough to generate those types of chances against typically good defensive teams says a lot about how effective the system and effort are. I already said that they aren't scoring as much from those chances because they lack the goal scoring talent but you neglected to mention anyone else who's scored off a one timer from there. Hertl, Patty, Jumbo, even guys like Sorenson have a couple or more. There's a reason every team tries to set up that shot at pretty much every level. It's far easier to score that way. And if you don't it creates rebounds and defensive chaos at the net. It's all about shot generation which they have been doing far better under BB than PDB this season. You just have to try and get it on net to score because the goalie is sliding after the angle change. C'mon man you weren't really serious with that were you?
