Thoughts on Claude Julien as potential NYR HC

[Pidto Files]

This thread should be shut because unless the team goes 0-8 and is blown out every game, our boy Quinn will be back.

I expect Gorton and JD around exit interviews will talk to the press about all of the progress from January, how the team dealt with a lot of adverse situations, and how they were close.

As for Julien, first of, the guy looks like a confused bowling ball. He won a Cup, and that's really cool but it was more of because AV was a doofus and some coaches especially in recent times after so many cracks finally get there. Disco Dan won a Cup, wore glasses and looked smart, and came from the Penguins so Pierre was always talking about him. Where is he now?

He's apparently a stubborn guy behind the scenes and remember when the Devils fired him out of the blue? That was a respect thing with the players (Larry wrote an article about it).

It's now the 2020s and a lot of those guys who were coaching in the late 90s like the AVs, Torts, Juliens, are going to start to be phased out.

This aged well..

Thoughts on Claude Julien as potential NYR HC

Zat eez nut my coach....

 

[bobbop]

Pros:

Former cup winner and probable future HOF pedigree

667-445 overall record as HC

Very well respected by his players/former players

Not David Quinn.


Cons:

Not the best track record for playing/developing youth

Bombed out of Montreal in spectacular fashion

Possibly out of touch with the modern brand of hockey and its direction in the coming years.

Thoughts.

No

Sign me up for him, Boudreau, Gallant

Sign me up for all 3 together but who's gonna be the head coach out of those 3? Plus i doubt some would want to be assistants..
