@FiveHoleo Cavallin might need to put his burger flipping and newspaper delivery careers on hold.

Congrats to Luke. Very good playoff run.

If they assign him to their echl team Growlers to start next year he will be with some familiar faces, Riley McCourt, and Head Coach Eric Wellwood.

Riley had himself a very solid year in the ECHL. 12 goals, 21 assist, +15 in 53 games.

Well, since not any other regular Flint posters have said it.....

Congratulations Luke, your time in Flint left an everlasting memory that will not be forgotten.

Best of luck to you in your future endeavors and may we all see you get the opportunity to play in the NHL one day.

He had a great playoff, obviously that was some heat of the battle crap talk from me, not intended to be taken too seriously. Congratz to the guy, sincerely. I hope he wins a ton of games for his coach next year.

We would not have got that that far without Luke. Everyone knows that! Congrats to him and being such a role model to kids in the area!

Does anyone think Rolf will hire a GM or will he just let Dent handle both jobs? Also, does anyone think an Assistant Coach will be hired? Thanks in advance.

Dioes anyone think Rolf will hire a GM or will he just let Dent handle both jobs? Also, does anyone think an Assistant Coach will be hired? Thanks in advance.

They had a full staff prior to the year starting. Nothing would make me think they wouldn't fill those roles again. Maybe Dent wants to be the GM as well, but if not, I'm sure he will have a big say in who is hired for that role.

The better question to ask is will Dent be back? Just look at the history of coaches in Flint, the last two didn't stay in town long.

ive heard pro teams are talking to him, but not sure if anything happens with it.

They got promotions.

 

[N Da No]

They got promotions.

They were good coaches and even more so important better human beings who believe it or not lead their teams to better records during the regular season this year then what the Firebirds did. Oulahan (.684), Wellwood (.664), Flint Firebirds (.654).

Consider this......13 of the 15 years that Ted Dent has been a coach it has been on the professional level. The question to be asked is.....if offered the opportunity to coach on the professional level will he choose to go back to pro or stay with Rolf Nilsen with possibility of Coach/GM duties?

What do you think will happen?

 

[TcNorth]

Welcome Kaden! You will fit right in young man.

I see the main OHL page list all the Canadian teams 1st round signings, but somehow missed Flint’s 1st round signing of Kaden Pitre? At least Flint fans know he signed if they follow our website or this forum. He is going to be good just like his brother.

north bay signed that kid 6 days ago, and it made it on the page today, do you think maybe it just takes half a second to get it online?

No. Saginaw’s was up right away snd I could careless he was the 1st overall pick.

you are right, its a massive conspiracy against all things flint. the league hates you personally and is looking for ways to screw you and the team. does that make you feel better?

 

[HockeyPops]

The Misa signing was always going to be posted right away, LOL. 1st overall pick and the league helped set it up with a big press conference and all the bells and whistles. @TcFlint may not care that he was first overall, but you can bet the league did.

The rest are posted when the league gets around to it. There is no conspiracy theory. In the words of Napolean Bonaparte, "Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence."

 

[HockeyPops]

I think, then, that we are all in agreement that the league is borderline incompetent at times.

Stop calling out other posters.

Stop calling out other posters.

sorry, honest question, is that a rule that is enforced? i have not seen that happen on the ohl side, its the wild west as long as you dont troll, i didnt know it was.

 

[Toldyaso]

Stop taking the bait. Radio silence is the best policy in these cases.
