-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Quote The Nashville Predators have signed head coach Peter Laviolette to a two-year contract extension. The announcement was made Saturday at a Skate of the Union fan event, in advance of the first sold-out preseason home game in franchise history. Laviolette is entering his third season behind the bench in Nashville, having guided the Predators to a regular-season record of 88-52-24 and consecutive playoff appearances, most recently a seven-game loss to San Jose in the second round. He's also won a Stanley Cup and gone to the final as head coach in Carolina and Philadelphia, respectively. Expectations are high in Nashville, with P.K. Subban joining a loaded defensive corps, and Laviolette has clearly been tabbed as the man to finally take the Predators to next level. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1116271 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bur14Kes17 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I really wanted the Canucks to hire him instead of Willie. Real firie coach who seems to get the most out of his offense. Giroux had his best years by far playing under him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's fair to compare him to torts (who I assume you're referring too) Torts was psychotic. He'll be out of a job before the half way point this season. He's definitely the worst coach in hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laviolette is no Torts an runs a completely different system. Look how well Nashville performed under him last year not to mention hes got one of the highest win % in hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn't seem to work with us. Keenan didn't either obviously, despite Keenan's success elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just haven't evolved since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha no actually I thought about that after I posted it and realized I should have said both were great coaches in their own specific era of hockey. What are you gonna do about it though? Try and fight me in the dressing room? You'll be fired by the end of this season anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
