Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXVI: 86 Proof

Still on the Captain topic, eh?

Desperately need the season to start so we can complain about the actual performance of the team instead of the theoretical.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Guy from Spittin’ Chicklets implying Lucic could be headed back to Boston.

Man time flies. Lucic’s already in the last year of his seven year deal.

 

[Magua]

 

[Beef Invictus]

The all-important Puckdump Coordinator

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Quite the New Englandy coaching staff in San Jose.

 

[Rebels57]

Quinn & Gordon - WOOF!

I'd feel bad for Oskar, but it's still a better situation than Philly

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t even know why Hakstol & Quinn got hired again. I guess once you’re in, you’re in as long as you toe the hockey guy line.

Apparently, yes. Performance doesn’t matter, as long as you have buddies who will hire you and spin a yarn of B.S. to owners who don’t know any better.

They also hired Ryan Warsofsky as an assistant, so maybe that’s the real future after they move along with their rebuild. I read that he’s their PK/defense coach, which makes utterly no sense with Gordon. But that stuff isn’t ironclad.

So, at least they have a young, in-house option down the line. The Flyers have Daryl Williams, Brad Shaw, and Lappy. The future is bright.

Rocky Thompson not on your future HC radar?

Quinn has connections with Mike Grier, SJ"s new GM.

Both Grier and Quinn played hockey at Boston University.

Scott Gordon went to Boston College. He was head coach of Team USA at the 2012 World Championships and David Quinn was his assistant. So Quinn has coached with Gordon before.

And in keeping with the New England theme, Warsofsky was born in and played college hockey in MA, and is family friends with Mike Sullivan, who played one season with David Quinn at Boston University.

He should be. Successful in both the CHL and AHL.
Good at communicating with young players.
And he won't take shit from Evander Kane!

What more do you want?

 

[flyersnorth]

Nolan Patrick out for the entire season? Saw that being tweeted by a few folks.

Yeah, it looks like.

Yes, it has gone from ''Chuck is dumb lolz'' to Captain topic.

At this point we were lucky we got anything for him. Even if it's just 4 games of Ellis lol.

Wrong, considering we have to deal with the cap implications of Ellis for the next 5 years

I feel for the guy. You make it to the big show but your body won’t cooperate.

Has he ruined anyone yet?

Were there any other rumours of who the Flyers were targeting with the Myers/Patrick package?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Quite weird…

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Wild that Ryan Ellis likely has a better shot of playing this season than Nolan Patrick.
