OT: Around the NHL: "Aaaaah, Ricky Bobby! Now we shall dance. And yes, it will be a slow jam."

[Honour Over Glory]

I've tuned into a couple of Wild games under Hynes (shocking to see him again as a coach) and the Oilers, with their new coaching changes.

One thing about the Wild - They play with pace and are quick with their decisions, something they were slowly moving away from with Evason, weird but to see Hynes preach that with the current roster, that team is deadly off the rush, quick out of their zone, goalies are not being hung out to dry and the team looks like a full on unit each shift. Must be nice.

Oilers - That team is looking deadly, the issues we joked about them seems to be minimized by the way they attack, the lines being rolled, the utilization of the roster looks to be good right now, they are not like the wild to me, the team looks like they are bound for a losing streak, vs the Wild who are solidly built and should be better, the Oilers are the opposite, insanely top heavy with very little of substance for most of the roster with some good pieces, but awful goaltending for reliability, I think that will break first for them given their lack of defensive depth.

But to see 2 teams greatly benefit from coaching changes when the Penguins have a massive history of success with it and not doing it really really sucks.

Sharks scored 4 goals in the final six minutes of the 2nd period to tie it up against the Wings.

3 points for Granlund…can’t suck if you’re not coached by Sully!!

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Granlund at 16 points.
The Sharks are no longer 32nd in P%.

Hilarious.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

How is Granlund managing to score so many points being played at 3C with heavy defensive minutes and no real offensive role?

Guys who have played roles for extended periods of time under Sullivan over the years seemingly either wash out of the league right away or thrive elsewhere. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of in between.

Like ZAR. He sucks even in the AHL.

Massive gaps all over

The guys who played regularly for Sullivan in high leverage roles - wash out.

The guys who Sullivan says things like "It's more about playing the game a certain way that gives him the opportunities to get the looks. Usually, if he can get the looks, he's going to score." - thrive.

Oilers have just passed us in the standings now and winning 7 in a row since changing coaches...but let's not do that.

I hope Guds tells the league the fact that the loser Cousins wasn't thrown out for an incredibly dangerous and dirty hit - which the refs completely f***ed, he wouldn't have been so pissed that his health was put in jeopardy and treated like nothing and had to respond.

I don't think Guds deserves any suspension. Nick Cousins should be getting a few games for his shitty hit.

Got any clips of these?

Jakub Vrana will be placed on waivers by the Blues, according to a source.

Yea after seeing that I agree with HOG. Cousins should've gotten way more.

Nick Cousins is a bitch. No way around it

Imagine Gudbranson only getting the 1 game while Nick Cousins who ran Gudbranson from behind in a stupidly dangerous hit that was supposed to be a match penalty, but the refs f***ed up and because DOPS doesn't want to show that the refs f***ed that up, they don't give Cousins anything in addition to his cheap and dirty hit.

That f***ing coward turtled twice, showing his true colors...whatever the colors a cowardly little bitch would have.

DOPS is a joke so I wouldn't be surprised. Still can't believe Parros is the guy

Being a dipshit with an Ivy League Education via a Sports Scholarship apparently equates to intelligence. We all know the bar is incredibly low for the NHL and its hiring.

Like the f***ing idiot is an E-Con major, could you have a more useless major? I'd respect him more if he just did a Business Admin Diploma.

Parros is so unfit for the job, if you remember the Wilson hit on Carlo years ago, Parros himself didn't want to give Wilson a suspension, he was FORCED to by Gary Bettman only for the optics of the hit, he is so f***ing bad at his job, the Rangers risked releasing a statement knowing they'd be fined just to call him out for how shitty of a job he did and took the 250k fine while literally everyone thought that incident was handled poorly - Ex coaches, GM's, coaches, players, analysts etc.

To be that bad at his job and still hold it is some really f***ed up shit. He retired in 2014, by 2016 he was working in DOPS and by 2017 he succeeded Quintal. And his only rationale for why he's suited for the job? "I never had suspensions..."

Violent Gentlemen is also a shit brand, eat shit George Parros.

The nhl is a joke for hiring thugs to be player safety all the time. Like how does that make any sense?????
