Paulie went from not watching Wranglers games and asking what kind of coach Love is to being his cousin. Only on CP lol.

I am going by how his teams played when he was head coach in the AHL. It was Geoff Ward hockey with better defensive structure. The guy has always been a defence first dump and chase coach, why is that going to change suddenly?

Let’s remember, the AHL coaches were forced to employ matching strategy and system to the NHL system.

Hopefully we have a "wunder kid" Nate on our hands.

He's even progressed beyond graying hair to no hair. That's like super-saiyan levels of genius.

Michael Stone, with a big fat contract extension. He’s paid his dues, which is how good decisions are made.

Can't win cups without paying dues first. Every one knows that.

In this recent Glass and Out interview I’m listening too he’s talked about how the skill has gone up and allowing players to be creative offensively. But sure, let’s just automatically assume he’s gonna make the team dump and chase based on his AHL record from years ago

Maybe Love flubbed the interview or maybe they looked at the goalie he had and went hmmm. Love definitely could have been Gluegun 2.0.I'm sure Love will be an assistant coach in the NHL next year. Will be interesting to watch.

No kidding. If the goalie coaches survive the meltdown last season then I will be convinced Sigalet has dirt on Murray lol

I guess we will see won't we? Hey, I hope he knocks it out of the park. I hope I am absolutely wrong and he has the team thriving. I just find it skeptical that the career defensive driving specialist is suddenly going to excel driving an F1 car.

He played one NHL game...against the Flames. He may have been a covert Flames agent for a while

To be fair, that's probably a much easier job with that roster.

The Flames didn't play a dump and chase game last season they actually led the league in rush entries I believe the issues started when we entered the offensive zone and played a out side game.

It's allowing guys to make plays on those zone rushes and playing in the middle of the ice and having our defenceman pinch in the middles instead of outside carries and rims.

We also need to fix the power play.

What Darryl started system wise wise good it needs tweaking in the offensives zone to allow creativity instead of shot volume. Also playing our offensive players more minutes.

Whenever I have watched interviews with Huska he has come off as extremely intelligent. From what I remember he has a good track record of developing very good dman in the AHL and WHL(?).

I don't really get the bad reaction from a lot of people here tbh.
