Confirmed with Link: Devils Hire Mike Foligno as Assistant Coach

[Classic Devil]

I don't know much about him, so I have no opinion on his hire. I feel like the fanbase is giving a collective "meh" about this too. Hopefully he will be able to add some value.

Well, I mean we've seen this before. I'm not going to get excited over a new powerplay coach unless his name is Fetisov.

solid choice. I guess Lou Ferrigno was not available

Yeah. He's a virtual unknown.

But if Lou hired him, then we should all trust in Lou's judgement.

Yeah. He's a virtual unknown.

I don't always like this reasoning, because Lou certainly is not infallible, but I am willing to give Foligno the benefit of the doubt.

We have no choice, Saugus.

''It's time for the Mike Foligno POWERFAILURE!''

 

[glenwo2]

Is that a GOLD whistle?

Mike FAILigno more like it!

This is sadly tremendous.

I remember him as a hustler and a great backchecker, that also scored alot of goals.. Should fit in with the Devils system very well!

Good luck guys. I love the moves you made in the off-season. **** Kovalchuk!!

Well he's been an assistant in the OHL and AHL for a long time, but other than his stint in Anaheim he really hasn't been an NHL assistant a lot recently. He has been around the game more than enough though considering his career as a player but yeah I'm skeptical. Unless he runs the PP though it's not like we really have anything else to critique him on.
