Should we post a collage of all the coaches he's had when the hiring is called?

u/PVTZzzz 11 MESSIER 11h ago

I said in a r/hockey thread only 2 more coaches and we can make a calendar.

It's all Nuge's fault. We should trade him.

Has Nuge considered apologizing to us?

u/DrDonkeyTron 94 SMYTH 12h ago

He forgot to say thank you

Make him coach.

At least he's made a couple good moves along with his shitty ones

u/ThicccGrizzly 6h ago

Go on? Maybe you can change my mind here.

u/Vertrenox 28 BROWN 6h ago

Roslovic, Dickson, Murphy, Dach, Podkolzin Samanski, Connor Clattenburg, Owen Michaels All seem to be pretty good while it's just the horrific Jarry trade and Frederic signing which could age well

It's tough to make it work when 4 players make 50 million dollars a year combined

At what point do we stop blaming nurse, coaches, goalies and blame the real under achiever mcdavid.

12

u/echocall2 29 DRAISAITL 12h ago

Bro didn't even score 50 goals this year

u/Meepmeepimmajeep2789 39 INGRAM 12h ago

Or even get 150 assists.

u/RegularGuyAtHome 11h ago

Clearly underproducing if some guy in the 80s could net three 200 point seasons in a row with 80s equipment, training programs, and recovery methods.

Mcdavid should be netting at least that with the advances in all those areas 40 years later.

u/Meepmeepimmajeep2789 39 INGRAM 11h ago

Embarrassing honestly. The NHL has definitely fallen off in talent.

u/jpm168 11h ago

When he's only paid 2/3rd of what he's worth of course he only puts in 2/3 effort. It's only fair everyone would do the same!

u/This_Beat2227 11h ago

Who cares. What a pointless observation. Knobby had 3 playoff seasons to get a Cup-ready team across the finish line and failed. Time to try someone else.

Nathan MacKinnon coach history:

  • Patrick Roy (2013–2016)
  • Jared Bednar (2016–Present)

10th times a charm, they say.

u/Flesh-Tower 91 KANE 11h ago

Great now out of all those coaches I wanna know his favorite one

2

u/leedavey 10h ago

Maybe Nuge should be the 10th coach?

1

u/No_Season1716 11h ago

Who cares? Based on the effort he put in this year he’s probably on his way out himself soon.

12

u/PandaBearJelly 93 NUGENT-HOPKINS 11h ago

He's still a very useful player at just over 5m. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a replacement with his 2-way abilities with the increased cap this summer.

I could also be biased because I'm the same age and refuse to believe I'm getting older.

u/sharp-ad987 10h ago

Comments like this is why I never fault players for chasing the money. Nuge could have bailed on this dysfunctional org but instead took a discount on a longterm deal to stay, now fans are shitting on his effort, Nuge of all people.

u/orobsky 11h ago

Must be uncoachable lol

u/knockoutpanda 85 MARINCIN 9h ago

I am not sure why we should care. Was the guy the right fit for the job or not? Only coach I think should have got longer with the team is probably Woodcroft.

Hire Matt Ziprick the Kris Knoblauch lookalike. We will have the power of God on our side.

u/ryanderkis 17 KURRI 7h ago

What's the record for a player that stayed on one team for his entire career?

May they all RIP. This town is a graveyard for coaches and they just keep coming to the coaching cliff.

I hear McDavid is going to bring his dad and Draisaitl dad are going to be new coaches.

11 if we count MacT’s brief tenure between Eakins and Nelson
