Speculation: Head Coach Hunt 2021 (Press Conference Thursday 7/1 @ 11am))

[Mosby]

This is exciting though. By far our most exciting and most qualified hiring since Tippett in 2009.

Also a real coup by Armstrong to get this done and sell whatever he is selling to make the Coyotes appealing, especially considering Tourigny's situation (I am sure Doan and Tourigny established a pretty good relationship at the Worlds as well).

Hopefully Army can use the same approach to recruit in free agency. Come to Arizona for the program and its vision. Not to chill in Scottsdale and oh ya you play hockey too.

So if I am reading everything right, gotta apologize been up almost every night the past 2 months at work. But, looks like we got Tourigny as a head coach and looks like Groulx as an assistant?

bring back Newell Brown and call it a day, huh?

 

[Jakey53]

Hmmm…any of our Canadian fans around here speak French?

Most Canadians don't speak French.

 

[Mosby]

I think Anaheim hired Brown.

 

[Jakey53]

I'd say he knows more than at least 99.9% of the posters here and that's being generous to the posters. Having said that, I also don't like the idea of him interviewing. Concerned his lack of hockey experience could put doubt in the minds of coaching candidates. It's one thing for the old man, with the bucks, but the kid is different.

This is BA's hire, not the kid. Junior is there for the experience, and his family owns the Coyotes. I see nothing wrong with it. If the kid puts doubt in the minds of the candidates then they are pretty weak minded and would be the wrong pick as coach.

I do. I think it's more common in MB and East compared to out West where you were.

 

[Jakey53]

I do

Bien pour vous.

I resemble that remark.

Since some posters asked how to pronounce Groulx ("Grew"), Tourigny is just without the IG ... Tourny.

Southern France challenges your pronunciation of Tourigny's name. Then again, English has some examples of that. In most American pronunciation, words like "military" and "lavatory" (not that Americans use that word anymore) are four syllables. In UK English, they're three: "milit'ry" and "lavat'ry." Then there's "conservatory" which is the full four syllables in American but "conservat'ry" in the UK as another example.

In the south of France, "Tourigny" is a name with three syllables. In the north of France (particularly Paris) and most of Canada, it's two.

... I think it's bedtime after this post.

I resemble that remark.

Resemble, or resent?

 

[Heldig]

Resemble, or resent?

Resemble. The little French I understand has more to do with studying Latin and word origins than anything I learned in school (up to grade 9). As an ESL teacher I came to understand how bad our French language program was. I do resent how poor the education was.

Depends on how the kid acts, how much of a say he has.

edit: I think the weak inexperienced coach would convince himself he’d be okay and could handle the distraction (if the kid appears to be one) whereas the experienced coach would simply pass.
Hell the inexperienced coach may not even recognize a problem.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

If it's mutual, it's like I just took your advice. You'd never have to see another one of my posts.

Win what?
You sure are a odd duck. There is the sun and then waaaay out there is all of us..... you included.

He’s not even close to DT level.

Is it that you can’t figure out how to use the ignore user feature? I can create a quick pdf tutorial for you. Happy to do it.

Haha, no I can use the feature. Why would I want to not see your posts?

The point would be for you to cease commenting on them. I’m sure you can see the benefit of a mutual ignore.

I refrain from commenting for the most part, trust me I could call you and others out far more frequently.

Well I appreciate that. It sounds like those would be pointless posts that wouldn’t contribute anything. So thanks for refraining. Meanwhile, you just admitted to having issues with my comments. That’s where the mutual ignore comes in. Why wait?

Feel free to substitute whichever word you prefer. Ideally one that gets this mutual ignore done faster.

Look dude, you’re fine for the most part, try not to sweat it.
Why don’t you hop into bed, have a good time with the wife and get some sleep instead of carrying on with me? I’m only up because I just finished a game and at 58, I need an epsom soak in the Jacuzzi and that soak is done.
Good night buddy, sleep well and have a wonderful, prosperous day tomorrow!

 

[MIGs Dog]

But I’ve also heard it Turn-Knee. And also Turin-knee. But when I hear French people say it, it’s more like yay then like ee.

I'll need to hear Pierre McGuire say it for the definitely correct pronunciation.

 

[MIGs Dog]

It's like 2 different countries up there.

Pretty sure conservatory is five syllables. I used all the fingers on one hand triple checking. Thumb included.
