Robinson was the ultimate leader. In the Canada Cup back in 1984 the Oilers and Islanders players were not getting along as they were arch rivals and it was none other than Larry Robinson who told them all to shut up and start playing as a team.
Why the hell we didn't add him is beyond a mystery to me.
The larger than life living legend guy with his banner in the rafters seconding MT.

Actually, that would've been a pretty funny title.LOL LG
I read upcoming daft edition at first.
Anyways, I'll just hope for the best this summer. Let's see what the tide brings.

Agreed. Considering the position he ended up taking with the Sharks, I have a hard time digesting this notion that Bergevin turned his back on him when he swiped up JJ. Just like that.
I am repeating myself from the last thread, but with an organization with this money to spend, and considering the amount of success Larry has had in hockey all his life and the sheer presence of the man, I cannot fathom how Bergy just shut the door like that. It would be one thing if Bergevin called either the agent or Larry and suggested at least another position within the organization (I mean, how can having Big Bird hurt?), heck even as another assistant coach if need be, and Larry said he wasn't interested. The conversation from yesterday suggested that Bergevin didn't even think of doing that.

Well since you seems to be concerned about my lens, I'm wearing my not-stupid-enough-to-believe-that-**** goggles right now.
You can twist, spin or obfuscate all you want but there is NO WAY JJD's qualities/merit outweigh Robinson's qualities/merit. The fact that you suggest it is laughable at best.
What merit is that guy even referring to? JJ was unproven and the only thing he's proven since being here is that he's terrible. MB is always talking about "da karactar" but closes the door on Robinson for this scrub?

Without deviation progress is not possible
Take any of the posts where people complained about the PP, the coaching, or more specifically Daigneault or Therrien, and you'll see plenty
It isn't purely about Larry Robinson, it's about our GM taking his friends over more qualified people, one of the likely many being Robinson.
God only knows the number of more qualified people who missed out on the position in favor of JJ that we aren't aware of
I mean practically anyone with any experience is likely a better choice than JJ so... probably every single person who applied for the job.That's this latest gripe with Bergevin is a direct product of the Sharks making the finals
If Blues beat the Sharks....this isn't even a point of contention
Thought that was pretty obvious
I usually can agree with a lot of what you say and often even do, but you're out to lunch with regard to this. Anyone with half a brain would prefer Larry to JJ even if the Sharks were a top 3 lottery team.Nah I got that one lol its Marinaro though....thats his thing
Again, it's fine, I just find it funny
I'm curious to see how further this board can drill down in order to destroy Bergevin lol
We're discussing assistant coaches now lol
lo striver

That's just it -- it really makes no sense. I've gotten into the heads of many managers, owners and professionals and seen how people explain away all sorts of odd decisions. When things don't add up, 90% of the time it began with a lazy decision that they cover up with layers of after-the-fact rationalization. Bergevin had an opportunity to bring in a highly accomplished professional and most likely took the easy road to save time and effort. Unless new information is revealed I'm not impressed.

I bet if you scour through most teams management staff, you'll notice that they tend to surround themselves with people who they have previous relationships with
But wouldn't expect something that so common to get any play here....
I'm waiting to read how we should of never fired Jacques Martin since he's now assistant coach in Pittsburgh, but given he was canned by the previous regime, not even you guys can make that reach
Who am I kidding though....its certainly not out of the realm of possibility
BargainBin has done nothing to deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore. I've been displeased with the entire coaching staff for quite some time and he's actually backing them up keeping them when they're atrocious. We haven't had a working PP since they've been here. Meanwhile we have an elite PP QB on the back end and even though Markov is old he's perfectly capable of being another elite PP QB as evidenced by his entire career.
I fail to understand how a team with such a horrific PP % over so many years can't find a way to effectively score on the PP when they have not one but two elite PP d-men. Unless of course you want to argue Subban and Markov are simply not elite offensively, to which I'll say Therrien and JJ certainly have made a case for people to think so.
