murraycraven Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Organizational depth signing... 2hy anyone question this is ridiculous. Time to start building depth on the farm. This is what Hextall does best and did the same in LA...Guy has NHL time and can help out down in the A. Nothing more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was funny, though.Aside from being somewhat successful college coaches with no previous pro experience showing a potential bias towards players from their college programs?Jury's still out on both.

Aside from that. And neither coached at Oregon State, so there's that too. #GoBeavers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, for whatever reason, I wasn't thinking Hakstoll. I was thinking the comparison was Hextall/Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poulin20 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 ....why? Hextall was very unpopular with the popcorn delivery service he was receiving in the press box last year and thought we needed an upgrade at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Looks to me like the Phantoms will have at least a line or so made up of NHL/AHL vets, to provide a example and instill winning and work ethic. Smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poconono Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 This guy certainly fills a role and a need in today's style of hockey, but it's a shame that all he needs to do is take up some time on the ice in order for the talented guys to rest a bit. It's the nature of the beast but back in the golden age of the 80's and early 90's more was expected from 4th liners than to just stay out of trouble and eat up some time on the clock.

I think that is because of the switch from all out offense to at least paying attention to defense. Current coachs want and demand the 4th line to impose their will physically, but first and foremost, keep the puck out of their net. Most coaches that get this simple thing consider anything else gravey. The 80's had so much offensive depth, that it spilled into the bottom six. In general, the strategy has changed due changes in how pts are awarde.... it brought in a defensive shell to try and take at least the single point.....and that sucks..
