Knob is like the bizarro Eakins.Hiring the 2 coaches and putting Stuart in charge of the PK seems to have saved our season.
I don't see it quite that way.Knob is like the bizarro Eakins.
Humble, often appearing timid. A coach who only had moderate success in the AHL and whose system works better in the NHL with better players instead of the other way around.
I evaluate partly on content spoken. Eakins and Woodcroft are the noise. They hit bottom floor as far as specifics, concrete definable and clear statements. Often with this type a volume of nebulous noise is stated. Gobbledegook. Its near political with the type in managing to say nothing.I don't see it quite that way.
Eakins was this anomaly in that everyone around hockey said he oozed leadership and confidence, yet he was this weird and awkward talker. Like it seemed like he was a really good interview but when you heard him speak you couldn't quite figure out how.
With Knoblauch I get the sense he's also a bit awkward, but I love it because it must mean whatever he does is in the room must work since he's not a smooth talker (which Eakins tried to be).
Not sure I'm making sense.
And to add to the topic my heart really sank when I saw Coffey was gonna be a coach because I just thought it was another Oiler clown move, but so far it looks like a great move.
I figured it out despite HATING keurig and anything pod coffee oriented. blech!I just realized I'm super daft because I kept wondering why people made Keurig references but I mean of course....

Yup.My initial thoughts on it all were that it was a bad looking move to have the Owners guy behind the bench, even if it is Paul Coffey. He's taken a lot of shit over the years for being OBC by the majority, but thus far looks to be doing some great things with the teams defense.
As per usual I think I have to wait for the season to play out before having a real opinion, but signs are looking good so far so I'll take crow if it's being served.
“I told our D from Day 1, the only thing I expect is plays. If you can’t make them, we’ll get somebody else... If you can’t make the plays, just put your hand up and tell me. We’ll get somebody else who can.” - Paul Coffey, to
