A year after their 2002 Cup run he had half the team (the half that already hated him) skating suicide sprints after practice and it blew up on him.

If the NHL were only looking to halve their value in short order they had Jim Benning waiting right there.

Backing up a dump truck full of Bitcoins to get my NHL Guardian NFT right here.ThinkTank posted:As underwhelming a choice as Maurice is, Brunette was an interim guy that oversaw a really talented roster. Is there anything he's done that makes him worth retaining beyond "he watched Barkov et al play well?" I don't really have an opinion on Brunette but it's funny to give him zero credit for the team scoring 4 goals a game in the regular season then a whopping 0.75 in a second round sweep. Surely the truth is actually in the middle this time??

I'd guess the Brunette thing is just a formality that neither side actually thinks will be accepted. From the Panthers its probably "well, we're paying you anyways, so I guess if you want to actually come to work, that's be cool with us."

The Avalanche did a similar thing years ago where they basically demoted Tony Granato to assistant coach when they hired Quennville. Then when Quennville left they promoted Granato back to head coach. Then fired him a year later.

https://twitter.com/MDeFranks/status/1539648913312989184 so further to my point of the Dallas Stars will never fire Jim Nill because they are the ultimate old boys club franchise, it seems that not only does Nill feel confident enough to claim that his contract will be extended past next year, but we are also going to be stuck with whatever dope he picks to be his successor after that. Truly a great day for Dallas fans.

Eric the Mauve posted:Pretty sure he gives up the money if they offer him his old job back and he says no? I guess being an assistant turned interim makes it a little different than a normal firing. Do interim coaches get a new contract or would they be on their assistant contract? Does Florida have constructive dismissal laws? But in that case "sorry the promotion didn't work out, but you can have your old job back if you want" also sounds like a thing people say fully expecting them to walk. Especially in a tiny industry where there's a good chance you'll have some sort of professional relationship with the guy again in the future.

Furnaceface posted:How the gently caress does Paul Maurice keep getting jobs coaching NHL teams? He is one of the most experienced NHL head coaches in history (4th most experienced ever to be exact) and so he really knows how to look, sound, and talk like an NHL head coach. He looks like the safest choice to people who don't know anything about hockey, such as all of the owners and half or better of the GMs. And he's willing to take a lot less money than Trotz. Fun reminder while we're here, Maurice (again, 4th all time in games coached, 1st all time in games lost as a coach) is only just barely older than Mike Sullivan. He's younger than Craig Berube or Dean Evason. And when Rod Brind'Amour first came to the Hurricanes as a player, Maurice had already been the (Whalers'/)Hurricanes' coach for five years. He was the last coach of the Hartford Whalers, and he's not even one of the ten oldest coaches in the NHL right now. He started his NHL coaching career really young.

Also Maurice is very articulate in a folksy friendly sort of way which endears him to the average fan, media and NHL GMs

He's also a career hockey guy. He started coaching at twenty when his junior career flamed out so has spent his entire adult life around the coaching/management side of the sport. He knows everyone and anyone these is to know to ensure he keeps getting opportunities and interviews.

Capuano's whatever, he and Maurice are practically the same guy except Maurice is more articulate and better connected. What's really outrageous is the probability of Quenneville getting another job. He did exactly what Joe Paterno was so justly crucified for. He was presented with a very credible accusation of abuse and rape occurring under his watch, and did everything he could to bury it because "we don't need this distraction right now, or actually, ever". He should be spending the rest of his life in a cell. He sure as hell should never be allowed to work in sports in any capacity again. But he'll have a new multimillion dollar job any day now. Maybe Joe Posnanski can write a glowing biography of him.

Bettman came out this week and said he's not sure if he'd reinstate Quenneville. Paul Maurice is a very well-liked guy who perhaps has unfairly gotten a reputation for being around a long time and not winning a cup when he's never really had a team worthy of being a contender. His greatest success was the 02 Hurricanes, who lost in the finals to an absolutely stacked Red Wings team with 9 Hall of Famers, while his team was, uh, https://www.hockey-reference.com/playoffs/2002-carolina-hurricanes-vs-detroit-red-wings-stanley-cup-final.html He got fired by the Canes in 04, but the roster that Laviolette took to the finals a few years later was much improved and, seriously, does this team look like they should've been better? https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CAR/2004.html Does anyone consider the Jets 18 conference finals loss to be his fault? I think they ran into a better team. https://www.hockey-reference.com/playoffs/2018-vegas-golden-knights-vs-winnipeg-jets-western-conference-finals.html

In 24 years of coaching his team has gotten past the first round four (4) times. His teams have made the playoffs 9 times out of 23 (counting his midseason firings against him, but not counting the year he took over Winnipeg near the end of the season), in a league where more than half the teams make the playoffs. There's a plenty big enough sample size to say with confidence that he is a thoroughly mediocre coach whose teams are invariably mediocre.

Capuano should be part of a stable of coaches that could always do well in the Metro and really should be there primarily. it's a different division. guys who should only be there: Torts Sullivan Capuano Laviolette Keenan Lou Ted Nolan honorary member (trial) Gallant is developing nicely as a moron coach, he'll be a permanent member soon some of those guys could be good coaches outside of the division. But any Metro fan knows that those guys will 100% have dog rear end annoying teams in this division

https://twitter.com/wyshynski/status/1539737857115541504?s=20&t=_e7ihlvaH0EhUmFvDYLXvw To answer the question of is Florida dumb...they certainly seem to think Andrew Brunette is.... Honest question. All sports leagues are country clubs where guys get to stick around way too long but is the NHL the worst at it off the 4 major North American sports? I mean the fact that the same 7 guys can burn out at one spot and get another job immediately is pretty amazing.

Thinktank basically already said it but it's probably more that Paul Maurice's best talent is to quickly identify which of the many deep insecurities are currently held by the completely clueless boards/owners currently interview, who generally got where they are with very little to do with merit or ability, and then exploit that in the interview process. Hard to argue with the results from the perspective of Paul Maurice's bank account, even if the results for the team/club are less concrete Edit: I don't mean that to sound like I'm having a go at you, it's an entirely fair question aejix fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jun 22, 2022 |

Most of those rosters were thoroughly mediocre, and the only one to succeed after he left was Carolina, who had a few young players break out and a lot of new faces when they won the cup two and a half years later. Florida's current roster is by far the best he's ever had, on paper.
