But we see them all the time on TV standing on the benches and it's almost like we know them better than themselves. Honestly, while I am going down this path, why stop here. I think we should write more letters. Like, clearly Gary Bettman has no clue how to run the NHL. I could do a better job, so could you. I am sure he would like to hear our feedback. 2 things. 1) green travels with these assistant coaches and shares office space and guess over team plans team meals with them. You know that right? theyre literally attached together 2) Gary Bergman is the most successful comissoner in NHL history and people point to lockouts (he works for the owners) the owners totally killed the players he won! Then he grew the game in the states profits are at an all ime hifh as is revenue and merchandise and also he brought a team back to Canada when he didn’t have too.

PhillipBlunt Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The organization should have waited until the end of the season to even consider re-signing Brown and Baumgartner. Neither has proven anything worthy of a contract extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that assistant coaches and coaches shared office space and traveled together. I thought that the assistant coaches worked from Utica, remotely, via webcam. This changes things entirely. I also had no idea that Gary "Bergman" had done so much for the NHL. I told my buddies he only works 1 day a year (Draft day). We never see him any other time, he must be away 364 days a year sitting on a beach somewhere. Turns out maybe he isn't that bad? You've really enlightened me. Thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I strongly dislike extending Baumgartner and Brown. It's extremely hard to watch how easily our defenders give up ice and how easily teams are able to enter our zone. That is coaching. The defense constantly looks confused. The PP speaks for itself. Stagnant, zero movement, zero creativity, extremely predictable zone entries. None of this is new under Brown. Carnegie can go as well, skills coach is an undervalued position I believe we could and should be looking to innovate. Ian Clark and Manny have done fine jobs and deserve due credit.

*Buzzsaw* Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Ian Clarke has done a good job with Markstrom and Demko. He does deserve a new contract. Not at all convinced Green or the rest of the coaching staff deserve to be re-signed. Edited November 22, 2019 by *Buzzsaw* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I don't think Green will be in any sort of hot seat till next year personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
