Ken Holland was the Oilers' GM from 2019-2024, which includes 3 instances in which the Oilers eliminated the Kings.
I think most people assumed Troccet was going to Philly
That Canucks jersey always reminds me of the costumes from 60s and 70s sci-fi like Logan's Run.
Tockey Hockey making his 3rd tour of duty with the Flyers. My family and I have been fans of his since the early days with the Flyers, so I for one am happy for him and the orginization as a whole. Wasn't keen on Torts getting the job from day 1, but it seems like the originization is trying to get back to what was familiar with us older fans. I'd like to have the league go back to the Tocchet style of play and have more Gordie Howe Hattricks haha
I was trying to listen to your commentary, but I was distracted by that eye piercing uniform – yikes. Has any other franchise had more logos and color schemes and fewer Cups?
Philly management seems determined to scotch Michkov's development.
worst kept secret in the nhl.tocchet head coach of the flyers
Itās awesome that Laval and Rochester are playing each other in the AHL playoffs. As an Upstate New Yorker, I see lots of Sabres, Habs, Rangers and Bruins fans. Kind of weird being an Oilers fan up here, my wife grew up near Edmonton and played hockey so thatās why we root for them, lol.
Why do teams sign coaches to 3 year deals? How many actually make it the full 3?
Jesper Boqvist not being a regular on the roster is criminal. Heās such an underrated 3/4th liner. I wish NJ would get him back
Die hard Philly fan here, my guess is 30-45-7 for next year. Tocchet is more torts. They needed a couch for young guys.
Toronto and knighits
THG: NHL players are the best of the best, yet organizations think they need a tyrant as a coach. Why? I think the players must be so dedicated to have made the NHL that a Torts isnāt needed
Lol Tocchet is going to try to "Re-wire" Michkov into a dump and chase player. Another L for Philadelphia
Toronto won 2 at home. Florida won 2 at home. Call me when a visitor wins or it is Game 7.
The Canucks werenāt getting the goals last season because they had an unsustainable shooting %
Congratulations Foote šš
Toccet desperately wanted to coach in Philly. It was the worst kept secret.
I watched a two-year-old videos of yours when Rick Tocchet got hired by the Canucks and everything you said was going to happened happened.
Matthews no goals in 9 games thats because Barkov best 2 way forward in NHL
I wish it was Mannyā¦
Hideous sweater imo
Stop with the retreads.
Tocchet is gonna run mitchkovs game into the ground
What are the Kings thinking?
As a Flyers fan since 1972 i am not pleased with RT being named coach of my Flyers.
Holland back as a GM is great news for aging fringe players trying to get one last good payday.
That hat is sick and I'm not even a Vancouver fan. Heck yeah.
KH wanted to go to a team where itās like retirement. No snow, little bit of rain. And everyone lives in Manhattan Beach or Hermosa. So yeah, heāll be more relaxed here.
Holland has a great resume, so I hope he can bring some magic to the front office.
This coaching decision for the Flyers was made by their luxury box owners who want more wins now along with ANOTHER alumni and is completely against the long term plan. I have a feeling they heard other teams wanted him so they said let's go do it.
I can't stand this decision. I hope I'm wrong. But this makes no sense based on why they fired Tortarella and what we saw on the ice with Shaw.
The Canucks don't need to get better to make the playoffs and win a round or two. They need to get healthier. Their three best forwards, their two best defencemen, and their best goalie all spend time on the IR list last year. How many teams can make that claim? Even Pettersson was starting to play well before his injury.
Rooting for Avs rockstar legend Footer to have good success as a head coach. Iām happy for him, getting this opportunity!
Just saw a reddit post in the Sens reddit saying they saw Travis Green in Vancouver last week. Hopefully discussing Quinn Hughes. If we get him next year I'm calling our once a decade third round push next playoffs. Literally the piece we're missing even though there is no way we could afford him.
Thank you.
I honestly haven't liked a Vancouver coach since Bruce Boudreau, but with how well he did and what a great media personality he had I think I'm probably biased lol. I wish Foote the best of luck and just hope we can get into the Playoffs next year
Man, what happens when Mitchkov falls out of favor with torts, uhm, Tocchet?
Not blaming Tocchet for our failure of a season but what he was doing clearly wasnāt having a positive effect I didnāt like when he got the jack adams it felt like he only got it because our expectations were blown out the water last year
Tocchet should have gone back to Pittsburgh
The following are facts only:
Paul Holmgren, Terry Murray, Bill Barber, John Stevens, and Craig Berube are all former Philadelphia Flyers who later coached the Flyers. During each's tenure as head coach of the Flyers, none of them won the Stanley Cup with this organization. Only one (Murray) even made it to the Finals as Flyers' head coach (in 97). The team didn't even win a single game that series.
The following are also facts:
Bobby Clarke, Paul Holmgren, Ron Hextall, and Daniel Briere are all former Flyers' players who went on to become GM of the Flyers. During each's tenure as Flyers GM, none of them won a Cup as the General Manager of this team.
It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.
Foote is just a placeholder coach until Manny is ready for the big job.
Avs should have fired Bednar and hired Adam Foote. Oh well, congrats to Footer.
Canucks should bring in Babcock
Where did you get the home canucks V jersey? I want one that's not a Williams version
Tocchetās lack of success with previous teams, particularly ruining the Canuckās, itās hard to believe he gets another chance.
Sakic, Foote, Drury, Roy, Blake š„“
You should do a video of former players as head coaches and GMs!
