Scott Stevens Impact As Coach?

[kamil27]

Im curious what everyone think about Scott Stevens behind the bench. Our defense is strong, but can Scott make this defense a little more hard hitting and aggressive?

Hopefully he can. He's a good mentor for Larsson even though their game is a bit different.

 

[Cowbell232]

The biggest question is whether he can teach the qualities that made him a great player. Considering his adaption from going from a pretty decent point-getter to a huge hitter, HoF defenseman, I'd have to say he has a decent shot at being a hell of a coach.

 

[Devils731]

Who knows? How someone is as a player isn't a great indicator with his good a coach they will be.

 

[kamil27]

being a captain for many years, I assume he has leadership qualities. Thus, carrying on over to a coach. We have some conservative defense imo, to teach them to take open ice hits would be nice to look at hahaa

I am more excited just to see him get angry on the bench and how he handles it.

What game was it last season where Oates, Robinson, and Pete were all going nuts on the bench? I wanna say it was a Rangers or Islanders game where there was some sort of bad officiating and they went off on the refs.

Game 6 of the Cup.

No it was during the regular season. There was a .gif of it too, I think.

I went to all the home games so if it happen at home I won't have noticed it. I know Oats went nuts during Game 6 on the hit from behind to Gionta and when the Referee got in Volchenko way.

For starters, I want to see Larsson get mean.

And show a little more urgency.

Rangers in February

Gm 6

 

[NJD Kula]

it doesnt even matter how much he can teach the defense the biggest impact is that he's near the ice and players will still **** their pants if he so much as looks in their general direction.

 

[AZNDevil]

Rangers in February

YES this is it.

 

[Wingman77]

and I'd imagine Stevens losing it behind the bench would look like something at 41 seconds in

If we had Stevens on the bench, I'd be curious to see how the DeBoer-Tortorella incident in the playoffs would've played out.

 

[kamil27]

i hated that domi guy hahhaa....omg i remember the holik stevens hitting combo haha like the bash bros hahaha

 

[bmqdevils]

we'll see. don't know if you could teach what stevens did best.

 

[ScottyK]

Excited for Stevens as I'm sure all of us are but still not a fan of losing Larry.

Me neither, but replacing Larry with Stevens is a good thing. Oates will most definitely in my opinion prove to be our most insignificant loss out of every player, and coach that isn't back this year from last season. Well except for Boulton!

Yes what Wingman said. That's Torts if Stevens is on the bench!

There was also a game against Anaheim where Pete won't ballistic on the refs. When the original call on the ice in OT was them counting a goal that was blatantly kicked in. Even after it was overturned in Toronto, Pete was still giving him **** for it when handing him the shootout lineup! He just threw the paper at him.

I hope he makes Larsson less soft.
