Luke can go f*** himself for this Neanderthal mentality. This type of shit is why Eric Lindros nearly died

I wonder if Luke was one of those pushing Lindros to play thru his injuries and concussions while he was with Flyers. The Lindros and other cases in Philly of horrific management of injured players you would think have opened eyes of Richardson but guess he probably was one of those on "Team Clarke" pushing on guys lockerroom

And someone should tell Luke that a coach is going to have to let kids make mistakes and not play shit like Tinordi and others who constantly make mistakes and screw team over without any accountability. Wonder how the injured kid feels putting in a strong effort only to be benched despite playing thru "The injury" and watching absolute shit like Tinordi take the ice as replacement

It sends message that not only is accountability that is preached is not actually expected or enforced for some but is detrimental to team

I don't want this dinosaur around our kids, and he has shown nothing to merit any future in coaching

I'm not very high on LuRich but I don't think he's advocating for anyone to rub dirt on a punctured lung or use smelling salts to get over a brain injury my guy.

Let’s see what LuRich is capable of with an improved roster to coach this season.

didn’t take one day past free agency for richardson to do something that really hurt someone’s feeling again lol. people are just going to make shit up to be mad about until they actually fire him for a good (read: not entirely imaginary) reason.

it feels like this is the Collins to phil jackson type of thing. LR is probably fine on a bad team to do his work ethic and toughness but probably not really someone I see making adjustments in game. IE probably not the coach when we are in the top 1/2 of the league.

I don't think anybody expected more. He'll be here with his coaching until we realize he is the coach to bring us from a to b and won't be able to get us from b to c.

This is strange and funny.

Is he connected to the Randy Carlisle "brain heating helmet" tree?

Of course players talk, but he might want to reel in suggesting the players practice facebook medicine with each other.

I'm sure the agents tell their clients to get Foligno's and Murphy's take on sitting or playing before considering a specialist.

if the team this season plays as bad as the team last season, i would see that as grounds for getting rid of richardson. i would also start to be skeptical of kd.

 

[Dr Salt]

I had my issues but I'll put that behind me. Clean slate this year to see what he's made of.

 

[Hawkaholic]

He can actually be judged properly this year, since he won't have a mostly AHL roster, with a bunch of rookies. He won't have to force square pegs into round holes in almost every important aspect of the roster. No excuses, let's see how he performs.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Hopefully he can get the games to be competitive this year. It’s not a playoff team, but the majority of the west got worse this year. Should be able to keep up with most of them, even if it does result in another top 5 pick.
