I'm sorry if this was posted already.

I think it makes a good separate topic to discuss.

I was a big fan of Marc Savard when he was a player. I hope he does well here.

Wasn't Savard the guy responsible for Calgary's crappy PP?

Apparently it surged in the latter part of the season.

I mean we went less than 5% in the playoffs so it's going to be REALLY hard not to improve.

 

[Leafs87]

Can’t say I know much about his coaching career, but I welcome change to our coaching staff

 

[AvroArrow]

What about our Bond villain

Fire him into the sun

 

[hotpaws]

They hate him in Calgary.

Literally can’t stand him there.

Is he the best option available?

I think there was speculation by Mirtle that Keefe's hiring in NJ might have some affect on an Assistant Coach Exodus...



Although I don't like to quote Mirtle very often.

Etc.

I can't speak for everyone, but it is change and it is another coach who has won a Stanley Cup and he had a good powerplay while working with Berube. That being said, I am not all that excited about the possibility.

Well must be his fault, couldn't be the players.

Maybe. Perhaps some of them will be part of changes that are possible l. Still, any change might cause some excitement.

How else do you win off-season championships?

 

[robertmac43]

A change to the PP coaching is much needed. Savard had meh results in the at dpearmtent while with the Flames but I think it's fair to put a lot of that on the personal there.

Ooh, gotcha.
