That is just awesome. Can't believe we went so long without a skills coach.

 

[Steve Shutt]

Nice - enjoyed the video and seeing how he works with our young guys

 

[calder candidate]

This is the kind of small detail that make all the difference. Also think of stuff that get guy stimulated and motivated.

In all fairness it was Serge Savard who eliminated that role post 1993 Cup win, held by legendary Claude Ruel for over 30-years

This is the kind of place where a rich organization should spend money and I am glad to see us finally doing so.

Needs more ‘grind’

It took us a while to get there, but it does look like the organization is firmly in the 21st century now. Weirdly enough, it's the local hockey media that seem pretty out of date now most of the time.

RDS has a staff that need to be put out to pasture. It’s like when CBC/Sportsnet cleaved itself of Healy and Stock. Sometimes you have to prune the tree for it to thrive.

There's a lot of media guys that are awful and stuck in old ways like Gaston Therrien, Normand Flynn, but RDS has one of the best analyst in all hockey broadcasting (french and english), Marc Denis. Him and Dubé from 98.5 are extremely knowledgeable and can actually formulate their thoughts in clear, concise language.

The old guard will eventually retire and will be replaced by younger, sharper minds.

Pure and utter garbage from a huge turd.

Makes you appreciate MSL even more...

Well, our medias has been stock in the 80's-90's for too long.
Not much development in this business and the one they keep bringing in have no experience and are trained by the dinosaurs getting fatter there for the last 15-20 years.

I mean,....L'écho-chambre, it's fun to talk about games but the guys there never step foot in a locker room while Twitter existed.....Things have changed and their opinion are now outdated a little!

Most of them can't keep up with what going on right now.....They can't even begin to understand the concept of MSL.

Imagine if our old core had MSL teaching them instead of Donkey Kong…

The cringe, and the ptsd I have from watching that video, compared to now? *shudders*

He said Sup Dawg to Slafkovsky

This skill coach is awesome, it’s really refreshing to see. I say dress him in the line-up and have him live coach the kids during games while playing.

 

[CHwest]

That jack azz deserves to have that pulled up every few months.

 

[sheed36]

Cool video. I was wondering who #61 was that Nicholas was really praising during one of the skating drills and told him to go to the red line and show the boys. I had to go look up the rookie camp roster to see who #61 was and it was Nurmi but you guys likely already knew that.

 

[JHabs]

I freaking love Adam Nicholas. He's the proverbial CPR to this lifeless development school that has been the Habs.

As an outsider, most of the Habs local hockey media (with a few exceptions) has always felt incredibly out of date. Which is annoying, because there were/are so many forward thinking people from the area.

I'm always perplexed on how this org. was so far behind in certain aspects while making so much money.
