I was a Whalers fan back in the day and I remember him fighting Daniel's. One of the rare games I went too. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Pretty sure being on the back half of life, along with getting smoked in the head with a frozen puck and potentially getting covid will make you think twice about things. Good luck Scotty, you will always be a beast 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said Boudreau and Stevens worked together in Minny. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He joined New Jersey the season after they made the finals and then his teams didn’t make the playoffs in his time there. Although that was with Deboer as head coach so that could be the reason. In Minny with Boudreau he lasted one season after missing the playoffs. That could be a case of just a poor fit though. That being said I think he should be a top target out of any coaches out there. Bowness should be target one if he’s willing to accept a associate role. If not John Stevens would be my second choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done a pretty damn good job in Finland as an assistant, making the final 2 years in a row. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a hard time with throwing folks away just based on accusations. His part of it was also dropped apparently and a grand jury only went ahead for the other 3 of them: https://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/30/sports/no-charges-for-3-capitals.html I would imagine this hire would be a group decision with the new GM and AGMs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said Boudreau and Stevens worked together in Minny. I know his career is defined by that hit on Lindros however that was a different time. He only received four minor elbowing penalties in his entire career. I consider him to be one of the greatest physical playing defensman of all time. If he can come in and teach our defence to play a physical game like his within the current rules, I would be stoked. 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling Sami's happy just being involved with coaching in his home country, I don't have him pegged as someone who's chomping at the bit to come back to the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He helped LA previously, too. A SCup winner, he’s been credited as being the systems genius & strategic mind who preps his teams to contain & counter-attack opponents. I hope he’s adaptable & interested. He was one of my choices for head coach the year Gillis foolishly blundered & agreed to the Tortorella experiment.

Closest we have in the league is Parayko. Loved his style, as well as Konstantinov in Detroit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
