When do we bring in Darren Pang as goalie coach? 1 minute ago, Akakabuto said: Iowa Wild had the worst PP% in the AHL last season... Well then he's a perfect fit.

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 Nice! I assume he's taking over for Bylsma, handling the offense / power-play? Tanguay was a hell of a player, and seemed to have had some success with Iowa in the AHL the past couple seasons. Hopefully we have a whole new look on the power-play next season... Tanguay is good buddies with my cousin. I've met him a few times, at my family cabin a couple times in the (off-season) summer when he was still with Colorado / Calgary, and at my cousins wedding like 15 years ago... Good dude.

Jeff Blashill recruited Martinez to Miami and also coached him twice at Worlds. Detroit needs help on defense. Martinez is from Michigan, too. Good fit.

Yzerman clearly see’s bald people as a joke and is envisioning wright in a year . Pierre mcguire will be joining our staff soon I know if I were GM of a team full of prospects I'd want to surround them with the absolute worst coaches/teachers possible.

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Hookersarethefuture said: Alex tanguay lmao long live the tank Kind of an odd comment. Do you have any idea what Tanguay is as a coach? His coaching strategies / philosophies? What his systems look like? What assistant coach could Yzerman have brought in that would have signified to hookers that the tank / rebuild is over, or nearing the end? 1 hour ago, Hookersarethefuture said: I Cant see those two being around in 2-3 yrs when we turn things around Based on what exactly?

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 13 minutes ago, Hookersarethefuture said: Again , im not the one to ask about hookers needs and wants I could be wrong about tanguay , i just dont think at this moment yzerman is too concerned about bringing in the right people to turn this team into legit cup contenders . These guys are just fillers imo until this team is ready and when the new head coach is hired he’ll bring in his own staff and tanguay can fufill his destiny of coaching the habs and having a poutine named after him Yeah, you probably could be wrong on something you have no idea about... I'm not saying I do. I have no idea what Tanguay will bring as a coach. I guess that's why I found it odd to see such a comment, as if he's a terrible coach or something... Either way, I like the hire. It'll be nice to see a fresh look on the power-play. Maybe we will see less of the neutral zone drop pass, less perimeter play, quicker puck movement, more player movement, more down low action, more use of the bumper, less use of the net front, etc...

I just think when yzerman eventually finds his head coach to lead the way (sorry i cant see blashill being the guy that leads us back to the promise land) then that guy will likely bring in his own staff and tanguay wil be out We’ll see what happen in 2-3 yrs I don't know if Blashill will be around beyond the rebuild, but I can see it... He's a good coach, well respected around the league, and Yzerman must like what he sees from him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 Blashill wont be around once the team is competitive again. The first time they make the playoffs, Blash is gone. Once a new HC is named, I expect new assistants to be brought in too. 2 Akakabuto and Hookersarethefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a good coach with an awful roster. Why would Yzerman can him as soon as he builds up a respectable roster, and the team starts turning the corner? I mean, sure, it's possible that happens, but I just don't think Yzerman sees Blashill as a lame duck. 1 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 48 minutes ago, BarkBurgerman said: Oh plz Blashill is a 47 year old man with a quarter century of ice hockey coaching experience, coaches team USA multiple times, 12 years in our organization, and going on his 8th as the head coach. He needs more time to develop now? What's he need to develop? His ability to articulate his thoughts? Maybe he doesn't know what matchups are yet? Just a few more line juggles and he'll have that part down. 4:30 of this video... I'm not saying "he needs more time" to develop. I'm saying that he's still developing, just like any player, or any regular Joe, working a regular job. I think Blashill is a good coach, and I think he will continue to improve, as the team improves. But sure, Yzerman is purposely keeping a bad coach around to guide all of our young, up-and-coming talent. And once they improve (not sure how they will with such a bad coach), Yzerman will then let him go. Makes a ton of sense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 1 hour ago, BarkBurgerman said: Babcock only had 16 years of coaching experience before he joined the Red Wings. Holland told his ass to go cut his teeth somewhere else in the NHL for two years before taking him on. Blash now has 24 years and 7 years as an NHL head coach and he's not developed yet? Maybe once he grows into his big boy brain at the young age of 50 he'll figure it out? Yeah it's pretty useful having a underling that ascribes to your long term development plans and doesn't rock the boat. When the team has more talent Blash will have outlived his usefulness in that regard. Yzerman's words. I can get why you believe a grown man has nothing left to learn though. I'm sure you finished "developing" at the age of 14... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is useful now because the team is rebuilding, and bringing in prospects. I don't see him competing with the "big boys" when this team becomes playoff bound. Just my opinion.
