Confirmed with Link: Alex Burrows no longer assistant coach, becomes development consultant

[JianYang]

Number 22. You go to board.
You deke then slapshot to da top corner. Score goal.

Not just that. The way he used to effortlessly deke through players on a one man breakout.

It looked he was playing point guard in basketball who was crossing up his check. It was so unique, and again, it can't be taught.

 

[Habs13]

We might finally learn what Letowskj does .

Hard at work making skip the dishes orders for the boys meals after the games. He is a wiz on that tablet.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Awesome news! This is like adding a 40 goal scorer for free

 

[Riddick412]

This. Is.
GREAT

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

YOU f***ING SUCK, BURROWS

 

[Habs10Habs]

How the hell is this thread not at 1000 posts? lol

With all the excitement, I'm just noticing it now.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Hey Alex, you want to take "family time" or you prefer us firing you?

 

[Pietrangelo]

Would love to see Markov offered this job. Not sure if he'd take it, but he sure knew what he was doing on the back end for years

Not a fit at all

You need to be a good communicator to be an assistant coach, and that’s the total opposite of what Markov is

YESSSSS!

[Slafkofield]

It would be fun to bring in an ex-Hab, Kovalev/Markov/Pleky, but I’m sure they’re looking for experience, so hopefully Gallant.

 

[TennisMenace]

And the hits just keep on coming. What have I done to deserve all this happiness?

 

[BLONG7]

Did Trevor Letowski walk away also??

No, all other have resign

Would Vinny Lecavalier be interested???
I like the Markov or Kovalev idea also................gotta think MSL has a former team mate who he has in mind? Brad Ricards?

No, Vinny said that he has no interest in coaching

And I don’t understand why some want Markov/Kovalev. I understand they where key players for us but we need a coach not a player.

Markov was even fired from his short sting as an Assistant coach in the KHL and really doesn’t have the profil of a coach

Andrei Markov fired from KHL coaching position; replaced with another former NHL defenceman

Andrei Markov was a fan-favourite in Montreal and his home country of Russia during his more than 16 years in the NHL. That wasn't enough to save him from getting the axe in his current position, though.

Il est la cible de propos très durs à son endroit qui dépeignent un homme différent de celui que l’on a connu à Montréal.

Sometimes..................players who performed at a high level can share their knowledge and want to coach.......that's why certain players come to mind.
Carbo and Jarvis come to mind where they did coach and run a PP and PK and so on.

We're a bit lucky haha Houle and Burrows leaving on their own.

This translated paragraph is pretty funny lol

"The attitude manifested itself later, when Markov requested a short agreement to finally hold 1000 matches in the NHL, but the « Montreal » manual did not go for this either. He left — bye, someday see you at the celebrations, unless, of course, we forget to invite."

 

[TRG]

I'm going to miss the drop passes

The drop passed is used against teams that place three players at the blue line and send a forward press the puck carrier. The goal is to bring that forward to a side, make a drop pass then attack the other side. That's why it's used almost universally.

Houle leaving was real luck, since he signed his extension.

I think they knew about Burrows and just offered the extension as a formality. He's staying in the organization.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Thank god, possibly the worst special teams coach in NHL history

 

[Natey]

I find it hilarious thinking that this specific thing will change much even though the rest of the staff is the same.

MSL oversaw everything. If MSL is still here, we're going to run a similar style.

from Google translate: "And how did Markov spend this time in the main team? He didn't do anything. Some hockey players never heard the voice of the former defenseman. Markov is a silent man, but he turned on the star mode. He himself believed that his mere appearance should improve the level of the team. Mironov quickly realized that he couldn't really count on his assistant, and took everything into his own hands. And Markov was fine with that. Of course, he tried to communicate with the team's defensemen, but he didn't try very hard."

Markov used Telepathy, it wasn't effective
