Out of Town Thread: Pre-Pre-Season Edition

[Sterling Archer]

Our boy Sly got a new gig as assistant coach of the San Diego Gulls , Anaheim's AHL affiliate.

Good news is that he’s geographically as far from the Habs prospects as possible.

 

[vokiel]

Assistant coach in the AHL is what Sly should have been all along. Preferably on a team with a real good head coach that doesn't like to delegate much.

Hmm I think if he really wanted to become a good coach he would have started at the bottom of the ladder: Junior or better Midget. The guy just doesn't transpire a lot of honesty and/or dedication in his career approach to me.

 

[Adam Michaels]

He's having some serious back issues that have prevented him from doing any kind of training this off-season. Damn!​

so MAF is sitting across from my place again getting interviewed by some guy in St Henri while having a juice

second time I've seen MAF here in St Henri last time i kind of waved at him and he didn't wave back

that was right before he got traded to Vegas and I truly think that snub might have cost him the cup win

Here's hoping Zadina goes Raycroft

Could be a blessing in disguise Zetts put up an unreal year for his age last year but if it forces Blashill to play AA more it would trend Detroit in the proper direction. Despite there terrible cap management.

20 thousand people on their feet for the entire Domi Probert fights. Anticipated for two months. Shown on highlights for weeks after. Ask anyone who won the game, who scored the winner or who was in net. They wont know.

"Old time hockey"

They also didn't know as much about brain damage.

Our boy Sly got a new gig as assistant coach of the San Diego Gulls , Anaheim's AHL affiliate.

So the guy who we let coach our #1 farm team off a cliff for 7 years can only get a gig as a minor league assistant, on par with Carrierre's son?

Sounds about right.

This reminds me of Nathan Horton a bit. Once the back goes it's real hard to be a top level athlete. I hope Zetterberg doesn't end up almost crippled like Horton though.

The guy probably gets waved every 5 minutes, put yourself in his shoes for a moment and realize that you kinda space out after the first 20-30 strangers waving.

I actually don't think he even saw me he was talking to the reporter guy. He probably was put off by me staring at him tho earlier no-one else was even around to notice them.

I wish I knew local reporters better so i could ID who it was he was talking to it's some old french guy probably someone from one of the papers

St Henri is so quiet compared to the downtown people were walking right past him not even looking

Josi will make bank man. He'll ask for 9 like Subban. Though Subban signed it thinking he'd get the Montreal taxes, not the Tennessee taxes.

 

[Brainiac]

This guy gets it. Nashville is in a great position right now.

 

[nhlfan9191]

I don’t know why but I get a Brent Seabrooke vibe with this contract although I think he has a few more years and the cap is more reasonable. I still think this one eventually catches up with the Preds. But they are in win now mode.

If Josi asks for 9, he'll get traded.

At that cap hit, he'll be a discount.

It’s more term. We’ll see what happens 3-4+ years down the road even if the cap goes up.his agent was smart to target term.

But I read that he doesn't train in the summer.

I dislike SL as much as next guy but to be honest he hasn't been unemployed long either. Seems like he wants to be back at it and good for him for accepting a demotion to keep working.

What else would he do? Go without a paycheck?

PK has a bunch of workout videos on his instagram. I'm tired just by watching him workout lol.

Well that's what I'm saying.

Better to be working than slacking. He wants money and experience, he's earning it.

Don't want him anywhere near the habs but can't fault a guy for trying to earn a living.
