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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made those Hey Burkie segments that Sportsnet runs seem kinda useless since they're just excerpts from it.

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

Popular Post mll Posted May 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) On 5/21/2022 at 8:30 PM, DeNiro said: As a player his resume is stellar. As a coach nothing really stands out. 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. He resigned for family reasons. Minnesota had made the playoffs every year since 2014 - they missed in 2019 but he resigned in 2017. From the Star Tribune by Russo with comments by Boudreau on hard he will be to replace: https://www.startribune.com/wild-assistant-coach-scott-stevens-resigns/425369993/ The Hall of Fame defenseman, former Devils captain and three-time Stanley Cup champion has a primary home in New Jersey and his wife and two children back in the New York/New Jersey area. “I just want to be closer,” he said. “That’s the toughest part of this job — moving away from your house and being away from family. I need them and they need me. When you’ve been in one spot for a long time, it’s a little tougher than you think to just get up and move. But I had nothing but a great experience in Minnesota.” Stevens, 53, informed Boudreau of his decision before the team’s hockey operations meetings last week. “I said, ‘Is it something we did?’ He said, ‘Nope, nope, nope,’ that the best thing for his family was for him to move home,” Boudreau said. “We gave each other a hug. He’s going to be very difficult to replace, but I respect him so much and respect what he wants to do.” [...] “He worked long, long hours,” Boudreau said. “We did everything together. He was a young coach, and I think he learned a lot over the course of the year. I was really excited about bringing the whole group back because we got along great together, but I had this inkling in the back of my mind. Scott was away from home and his wife was away from him quite often and she’s going back to school in New York and he’s a real family guy. I didn’t think it out loud, but I thought this was a possibility. “He’ll be very hard to replace because A), the credibility rating off the bat and his work ethic. You can see why he’s a Hall of Famer and Stanley Cup champion. I learned so much about what it takes to be a champion just by watching him work. All of those little things, it’s going to be hard to replace. And loyal. He was loyal as the day is long.” Edited May 22, 2022 by mll 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
