    it’s finally done.

    a sigh of relief is heard all across Columbus.

    I’m excited to finally have a coach that gets heated and pissed off instead of just timidly rubbing his bald head or head lines.

    Yay, we didn’t bungle this like the Babcock signing!

    Excited for next season

    Good hire. Find a Laine dancing partner now and sign Marchenko

    He looks angry, which I love. Brad and Pascal looked soft

    He wasn’t my first choice off the open market, but I’m happy with this. Definitely excited to see what he can do and can’t wait for people to call for his head after our first preseason loss. Hockey is almost back.

  7. >Evason went 147-77-27 in 251 games with the Wild and brought the team to the playoffs four times in his tenure.

    Yeah I’m good with that

    Jackets and Wild are such incestuous expansion brothers.

    I hope I’m not breaking any rules since I’m commenting in a subreddit i don’t belong to, but I’m a Wild fan. I think you guys will like having Dean as a head coach. I certainly liked him in his time with the Wild.

    My first choice of the three options. No Babcock stink, plus you can’t deny the results he got in Minnesota considering the cap limitations they had. A boring hire is perfect for where the team is right now.

    Cool, we finally have a real coach. Now pay Marchy.

    Does anyone know a site that actually gives analysis on coaching strategies? Would love to actually read some analysis on his teams tendencies and strategies, not just the generic announcement stuff. For example, does he have his teams drop into a defensive shell anytime they enter the 3rd period with a lead?

    Solid hire. He was my favorite all of the veteran coaches being thrown around, including McLellan.

    Our first game just got more interesting considering our opponent.

    HE GETS TO OPEN HIS NEW SEASON, AWAY, AGAINST THE TEAM HE WAS FIRED FROM IN THEIR HOUSE.

    I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS SEASON TO START AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
