Stevens and Nachbaur Fired

[damacles1156]

Desjardins is a run of the mill AHL coach, but it's fine for now. Glad it wasn't Tippet signed to a multi year deal the Kings would be stuck with. Blake better do a proper search in the off-season.

Is he helping us tank?

Likely. If his stint is anything to go by in Vancouver.

Unless he's had a rebirth. Went to the Vancouver around the league thread and their reactions

"LMAOOO"

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Kudos to Mayor...now let's see if he'e right about someone about to be #formerKing

I hop hope hope Amadio gets a real shot to play.

Desjardins and Sturm in. Guess I'll venture over to the Canucks board to ask what they think about Desjardins, since they would have a much better idea.

While we're at it, can we get rid of Ranford too?

Quick's game needs an overhaul.

They are just going to trash him, the guy is basically AHL coach caliber.

Yikes, really? Desjardins? Wasn’t he ran out of Vancouver?

I’m all for a change but this seems like weak sauce.

I was skeptical of Sutter tho too.

I've watched a lot of Sutter and Desjardins in my life and it's no comparision, one is a great coach who has a shelf life, the other might as well be replaced by an Arduino because he coaches on autopilot. Willie is awful.

Edit: However, Desjardins does seem to have a bit more structure in his systems than Stevens did, so maybe you guys will get "outplayed" less often in the corsi sense.

Give Brown the C back next!

Yes, I also am pro chaos. Actually just make Fantenberg the captain.

The firing had to be done. Good thing it's just a temporary solution.

If that's the case why not Mike Stothers in Ontario? Can Desjardins be any better if they're both just placeholders?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Desjardins must be a social media guru.

You don't won't to have to fire Stothers if things go south if you like him coaching your AHL team. Also people tend to get disgruntled and bitter if you interim promote them, then demote them later.

Willie Desjardins is a bad hire for sure but Marco Sturm? How could they think that's a good idea.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Now I'm hoping for a week to week thing with coaches. Lose one game, you're fired.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Stevens to Desjardins is just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic

 

[damacles1156]

Again,

Round peg into square hole. This uptempo bullshit requires the correct type of mentality and players skill set to execute.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Lol players mad he called them out for playing like shit? So sad.

Dean Lombardi "When the players start to pick the coach, you're in trouble".

 

[KINGS17]

Applying lipstick on a pig isn't going to help. This is a black hole team.

Fire Robitaille!!!

 

[The Pale King]

I didn't follow the Canucks super closely under Desjardins but he didn't have much to work with with those rosters from what I remember but management was also refusing to blow it up and rebuild with the Sedins still there. Nucks fans did seem to take issue with him overplaying Linden Vey ala Vignault with Tanner Glass.

Any change is good change at this point.

Canuck fan. This was the problem in Vancouver. They fluked out the first year and made the playoffs. They didn’t have the horses to play that way and it was a disaster after.

The other big problem with him was he is a terrible tactical coach. Count 1-2-3-4 and there are your tactics. Most games he refused to line match and played everyone equally .. like.. Dorsett the same minutes as the sedins sometimes.

He is stubborn as f***. In the playoffs vs Calgary he would not line match, which lead to Calgary running rough shod.

He also has infatuations for 4th liners. He will use them on the first pp unit even if they do nothing
