oldnews Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Gotta say - that interview that Kenward did with Green was very good. He asks good questions. He may not be a 'video personality' (certainly does not present as slick) but Kenward goes about his job like an old school pro - the interview is entirely about the interviewee. Sad that it's the case, but there aren't a lot of those guys left in media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The predictability factor is strong and it would leave opponents guessing. Right now, it's too easy for other teams because they know what to expect.... I agree In camp make Daniel and Henrik pick their linemates ala gym class style. 5v5 Daniel can take Horvat and then Henrik can pick Boeser, Daniel takes Granlund and Henrik gets Baer. Team Henrik vs Team Daniel. Winner (line with the most points) gets a club dinner and bragging rights. Then carry it into the regular season. Sutter gets Goldy and Eriksson. make the internal comp between the brothers fun and way less predictable. Don't think either will pick Megna!

unknown33429 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Nothing will change as long as Aquillini is playing the role of GM from behind the scenes. This is just another scapegoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the people using the Jon Cooper as a comparison: "In 2010, Cooper was hired by the Tampa Bay Lightning to coach the Norfolk Admirals, the team's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. During the 2011–12 season, the Admirals won the Calder Cup as the AHL's champions. Cooper won the 2012 Louis A. R. Pieri Memorial Award as the AHL's most outstanding head coach."

The criticism was "develop young players" WD was doing that with a guy who was crying out for it. That didn't matter though apparently. Boeser and Goldy were getting plenty of opportunity - you don't seem to have any recall at all. I'm not saying Labate is competing for top six. But the ripple effects for the lineup with boeser and a healthy lui. and optically it made sense to have the above mentioned in the lineup meanwhile Labate playing more "meaningful" games with Utica. As I said. Context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Said all the right things so far. As long as he doesn't insist on playing defensemen who can't play defense and keeps Megna out of the lineup, I think he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines could always be tweaked, but splitting them up would make things a little unpredictable for opposing teams.

oldnews Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 That was a hell of a presser imo. You can see what Green brings there from an interaction standpoint - he's got presence, engaged, perceptive as hell - quick and fluid thinker - balanced perspective - driven - obviously a good listener as well as able to express himself clearly. Has been gunning for this job for a long time - and waited for his opportunity - to the point he's knocking the door down. Trusted that his hard work and loyalty would be rewarded. Linden and Benning clearly had no intention otherwise. . Pretty evident that this was their succession plan for some time I'm really looking forward to seeing what Green can do with this group (and the guys on the way).

That looks pretty good too, but I don't think the Sedins will be split up, at least not yet. Here's mine: Sedin - Sedin - Granlund/____ Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser ____/Granlund - Sutter - Eriksson Boucher/Goldobin - Gaunce - Virtanen I wouldn't mind starting Granlund with the twins but I think we're gonna go after another young top six whether it's a free agent or we get him via trade.

I absolutely love that shot. Anyone know who they're looking at. I would have said Gallagher, but don't think he gets out into daylight that early.

Cooper had Kucherov who is a 70+ point player in the NHL. Also had Tyler Johnson. Travis Green had Grenier who couldn't make an NHL 4th line on the 2nd worst team in the league. No matter how good a damn coach is if the personnel is trash the team is going no where. Such as Babcock last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Green comes off highly intelligent. Hopefully it shows in the next 4 years. 2-3 more years of pain, then hopefully we can make some noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella = Pie - rella Desjarden = Of the Garden Green = Green (He knows what he is, and players will too) You'll like this Tortore means torture in Italian. the suffix ella would make it a female who tortured people.
