We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

There is a legend that Pat Burns once tried to drown Russ Courtnall in the ice bath after a game……..I can only imagine what he would do with Dvorak

Most of these coaches are of the same defensive mindset in how the game should be played.
Demers is probably the biggest player's coach out of the group.
Tremblay the most emotional
Burns the most scary
Martin the most composed and professional.
I don't look at it in the sense of who is "best". It's more about which coach best fits the group of players and what they need at that particular time. It's a fluid thing.

I'm sorry, Cunneyworth in front of Vigneault and Julien?????
