Cup is ours.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

The most Canadian name ever.

 

[Edge]

Going to reassemble the Flyers coaching staff in Hartford.

Not sure how I feel about that tbh

But the only thing I’ve read about this guy previously was some Athletic article a while back

In before everyone freaks out that our young D might get yelled at.

And from a Rick Wilson article from The Athletic:

a good coaching staff/lockerroom leader figures out which approach individual guys respond too and you can't treat all players the same way...but prospects saying they'd rather not get yelled at doesn't mean that being tough on them didn't make them better players

 

[Machinehead]

A Canadian guy named Gord.

Why, I never...

Gord Murphy is about as old-school, dyed-in-the-wool Canadian hockeymen as they come.

Indeed.

And if Knoblauch is as much of a communicator in the same vein as Quinn, I'm sure he will have Murphy and whoever else joins his staff communicate in the same way.

well the flyers have been an AHL caliber team more or less in recent years so I'll take that as a good sign for hartford

yeah and you can also have complimentary personalities on the coaching staff where one guy uses the wipe but another is the one who puts his arm around the guy

They're really getting weird now with the long-con moves. First, they hire Knoblauch to entice McDavid in a year or two, and now they're bringing in Connor Murphy's dad?

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Wolf Pack offer sheet Kyle Connor.

 

[nyr2k2]

I know we had some people freaking out over the Hartford coaching search. Seems to have worked out okay.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I know it's easy to say lolFlyerz and shit on them for their time under Hakstol, but they actually were a relatively decent defensive team with Murphy as their assistant coach. They were low-event, but they have been in the top-10 fewest xGA60 under him since the 2016-17 season. I left out the two years prior because their defensive corps were an unabashed shitshow.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Wolf Pack offer sheet Kyle Connor.

Ok, now they're taking it too far.

 

[will1066]

I'm assuming they need another assistant/associate coach to fill out the staff. Needs a guy whose name ends with "chuk".

What's that Ilya Kovalchuk guy up to?

As long as Lundqvist is on the team, no dman is safe

 

[bobbop]

Hextall’s spy

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

How about Lindy Ruff? Can we find a replacement for him too?

 

[Good Intentions]

Good cop/Bad cop. What a concept.

 

[eco's bones]

I remember him as a player. He was around for quite a while.
