Have fun with that Oddly enough, I expect professionals to be, you know........professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM Coach Them While I am not a fan of it I am not interested in crucifying him either. Just the last year we saw Tom Brady and Lebron James taking their frustrations out on a coach. They were given a pass for their fiery competitiveness. When McKinnon is arguably the "GOAT" then maybe you can make that comparison IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love NM game, but that was total bush league, the team should have either suspended or fined him. With the Avs record of late and McKinnon's line still dominating the league. The coach should be the one replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancouver Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Love mckinnon, a true power forward, not many guys with his size, speed, and skillset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be professional if it was bednar yelling at mckinnon? It’s funny how coaches can throw hissy fits on the bench and it’s normal. I don’t mind mckinnon losing his temper a bit, he’s passionate about winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The coach still loses if he suspended him. Av's miss the playoffs because Nate gets benched, he'd get let go. You don't go about benching the center in the best line in the league. Even if they do make it to the playoffs, if Nate doesn't like him, he still might get the ax. He's probably in the similar shoes as Bylsma was in Buffalo, albeit the Av's aren't doing nearly as badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyoung Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I love passion but this borders on childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 To imply that the coach isn't doing everything in his power to win is disrespectful, I am all for competitive edge and not being pleased with losing but looking at their roster they are only one line deep. On paper as well as on the ice. Maybe look down the bench and tell your teammates to do their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceGeorgeGoon Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It appears to me Nate criticizes the coach. The coach tells Nate to do his job and he proceeded to fume and mutter about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
