Jared Bednar & Co. Discussion Thread

Chris MacFarland about Jared Bednar: “100% confident. Jared is our head coach.”

I wish Kroenke would have the cojones to do what has been done with the Nuggets.......

you need to start stirring up some conflict between Bednar and GM CMac.

If he's not going to fire him, he has to say that.

Personally I assume that Jared is walking on a thin ice. It's a shame the ice doesn't crack until we lose next playoffs.

On the subject of luck—no championship at any level in any sport was won without a fair bit of good luck playing a role.

That's not my argument. I do agree that every championship needs a fair amount of bounces to go the teams' way. Some of those are in-game bounces, like a shot going off the post and out of the net versus a shot going off the post and into the net. The problem is I cannot take the luck factor against a effing Dallas Stars team who were MISSING two of their better players. Avs were, for the most part, 99% healthy and looked like they had so much trouble competing against Dallas during those off games. They played so badly at times, they needed a bounce-back win in the next game (which was at home) to show how dominant they were. Game 5 to Game 6 is the perfect example of what I mean. I felt we were always playing from behind, even after winning the first game of the series. Game 3 was what lost us the series. To come home and have Landeskog return, just to lay a stinker for the ages. That's not a luck factor, that is an execution factor.

Oh I'm with you on game 3. Of everything that happened, that more than anything upset me the most.

This team most definitely horribly underachieved. They could have, and should have won this series handily.

Game 1 to Game 2.
Game 3 to Game 4.
Game 5 to Game 6.

All three of those bolded games were pure rubbish.

I would consider more of a luck viewpoint in terms of how we lost if both teams were 100%, I just can't with the way we lost against the Stars B-/C+ team.

So is Henchman our new hire as PP Assistant coach?

Saw a dumb Facebook post that the Avs hired Milan Hejduk as the new Assistant coach. That would be such an Avs thing to do. Saw another poster wanting to steal Tanguay. I’m thinking don’t we over pass enough?

Have you seen what Tanguay did for Detroit’s PP?

He would be an amazing hire.

Yeah. He did a good job. It was just a joke about Tangs tendencies. Pratt and Tangs were teammates once before.

 

[The Kingslayer]

He's been on the job for a year.

The previous guy I meant. The goalie whisperer. A real goalie coach not PArkilla who turns goalies into shit.

Macfarland using Jared as a shield. Truth is Macfarland and Bednar should be fired.

Again, what goalie did he turn into shit?

Holy shit!!!!

Henchy was Hejduk??!!

At least that's what I'm choosing to take from this.

As for Tangs, I'd be more concerned about the offsides than anything else. Dude made a living out of being one step ahead of everyone. Literally.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Whoever is the new assistant needs to be able to push Jared, basically someone that will likely be a high level head coach themselves, but just doesn't have the resume just yet.

Damnit! When you said you wanted Bednar pushed I told my guy it was like in front of a bus.

The payments been made dude. There's no going back now. You better not be trying to squirm out of a payment here buddy.

Dude! I was creating a cover for us, now our schtick has been revealed!

Honest question because I don't know. Is there any reason to believe Detroit would let Tangs go to be an assistant in Colorado, if he's one of the few things having success there?

Won't make any difference. This core needed a shakeup, a new voice in their ear, IMO.

Just looking for any little positive thing in terms of change as I don't like to be miserable all the time. Thank you

There’s no point continuing this conversation.

You keep posting 5v5 numbers.

“We” keep posting the fact that DeBoer wins 4 games, Bednar does not. We keep posting that it’s 4 times now with 3 different teams. We keep posting that our star players look like shit against him and he openly says their entire game plan is around 8/29.

There’s no way to make either side budge on this. The series is over. There’s no more games to be played.

You keep believing Bednar didn’t get outcoached. I will keep believing the opposite.

Don’t tag me in this discussion anymore, please. This isn’t going anywhere.

You think Cale played this way on his own; we believe the main reason he played like this is Peter DeBoer (because history).

I think it's time to stop now, neither side is going to budge.

The thing is, posters will still go off on laying it all on the coaching staff and will until they’re replaced. That’s cool of thats what you want to do but if @Foppa2118 or anyone else wants to point out why they believe opposite, why should they stop? Because it doesn’t align with your narrative? So we push just one side? Makes sense. Even though the poster fully acknowledges there’s blame on all sides. No, it’s not time to stop because the “haters” will not stop so why should they?!?

This is the exact same thing that pushed SeaEagles to leave for a bit. It’s a more extreme example to be sure, but they don’t fit the hivemind narrative so they got piled on.
