Congrats Dave

Now get 'er done ........

 

[Howard Chuck]

I would be interested to hear some opinions of Lowry from those who have followed his career and his teams @Joe Hallenback for instance.

As I said in the other thread, I'm hopeful since we didn't just go to the well of the current rotating group of coaches.

 

[Boxertim]

i hope he calls 'spagetti' as his first shift and then has a bench clearing for his second.

 

[Hunter368]

Lowry as the HC.......I'll hold my opinions until I see what he can do. I think its time to move on from PMO, but I just have a very low opinion about the vast majority of HC's out there now days. Too many retreds and old school guys who say the same thing in just a slightly different way which doesn't make them any better then PMO.

Ok Lowry, lets see what you can do.

I'm betting this is an interim position and they wait to see who is available in the off-season.

Definitely.

 

[surixon]

Yeah I am interested in hearing what his philosophy is and how he wants us to play.

I'm also interested in hearing what some of our Branson fans have to say on his coaching style.

I think Lowry is a good coach, did well in junior and as an assistant. Jamie Kompon is a guy who deserves a chance behind the NHL bench one day.

What I really hope is that Lowry properly assesses his staff and then assigns them roles and then allows them to carry them out with minimal interference.

I still remember how dynamic our pp looked thrbone preseason where Kompton was calling the shots while Moe was off at the World Cup. I'd like to see what he can do with it if he's given full reign.

I expect Lowry will likely take a pretty big hands on approach on the PK atleast initially.

We are on your side, Dave! Go Jets Go!

I have far more tempered expectations.........HC's are like buying new used tires to replace your old used tires........I literally like 2-3 HC's and thats about it.......the rest are just meh/same old crap in my eyes at least until they prove me wrong. I will wait and see how Lowry does, while I'm happy PMO is gone I'm not excited by Lowry or any new coach until they prove they're not just doing/saying the same crap in a different way.

The first thing Lowry needs to do is put Huddy in the pressbox, telling him he wants a different perspective on the game, and then forget he left him there.

No arguments here, just outlining my hopes. I also will wait and see how he does.

 

[surixon]

In all honesty Lowry should have the template for this team. He just needs to get them to play consistiently on 5 on 5 how they played games 4-13 or so earlier this season. Add in hopefully a much more aggressive and more effective PK and the team should be back on track and making fans happy with the product.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Any of the old retread coaches, we would have known what we are getting, and there isn't much new from any of them. I'm excited to see what DaLo can do. I like the idea of a guy that's been itching to get his shot and finally gets it.

Let's see what you've got!

Tell him to take Beaulieu with him

 

[BatVader]

I get it’s 2021 and needing cross chemistry is important, but for me… put lines together that work and then leave them the hell alone.
KFC - PLD should be stapled together… find an RW that fits, then leave them alone.
Scheifele and Ehlers work… find an LW and crazy glue them together.
Let the line mates get so comfortable together they can make passes to each other blindfolded,

and never…NEVER…put Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler together again.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I never want to see 11F/7D or Beaulieu ever again. Aside from that, let's see the team play to their strengths and have some fun doing it.

Agreed, we should be looking for stable pairings with players and then move around the other pieces as needed.

Conner PLD
Scheifele Ehlers
Copp Lowry

All three of those pairings work well together, plug and play Stastny, Svech, Ves, Wheeler (when back) as needed.

Exactly

to bad we didn’t get Puljujarvi in the offseason when he was cheap…KFC-PLD-Puljujarvi would have been really good…

I agree. I know Copp wants his shot in the top-6 but him and Lowry are always so dominant together. Those pairings are what I would ice as well.

I would put Gustaffson-Toninato together as well, at least ice a competitive 4th line that can play ~10 mins a night.

I like Svechnikov, and what he’s been doing, so I’d keep him around, but if we are keeping Copp, I’d be looking to move Vesalainen.

 

[RustyCat]

A warrior as a player and get you hated playing against so I am hopeful that attitude and intensity maps onto his coaching style. All kinds of sandpaper and a guy who carved out longevity in one of the worlds toughest sports.

Seems like he has had real good success in the WHL so my guess is the players understand their roles, are willing to be flexible, and work their ass off.

Here's to hoping for the team to thrive.

Let's see what Dave does with no practices and very little time to actually change anything
