Neb00rs Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 sooooo...too soon to start the estimates on how long he'll last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck the Duck Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Not sure what I think of this hire yet. I'm worried that this roster will not respect DeBoer and he won't be able to deal with this locker room (see John MacLean). However, I'm intrigued as to what style he will bring and hope he can get the team to play as hard as Florida did the past few years.

Most people are waiting until we go down 1-0 in the first period against Philly in October before they call for his head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he's not a 'rookie' coach, per say. Welcome to the boards btw, love the name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having someone like Clarkson (who loves this guy) talking positively about him to the players will help.. He also has some NHL head coaching experience so I won't be too concerned even if we have a slow start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Now the big question... Does Lou step back and let him hire his own assistants and actually run the team, or is he a happy sock puppet like Johnny Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 So how long before the Post comes up with a headline incorporating our coach's last name with our perceived style of play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
