    This is Jeff Halpern erasure and I won’t stand for it.

  2. OP notes: Sorry for the potato quality, this was the resolution NHL2000 had…

    I only included Head coaches, Associate coaches, Assistant coaches, and Goaltender coaches. The list would be quite a bit bigger if I included development coaches, coaching advisor/consultants etc.

    Some interesting notes:

    * Only 2 teams are not on this list: Buffalo and San Jose
    * Wade Flaherty is the only former goalie to have a “Assistant Coach” title as opposed to Goaltender coach.

    Crazy seeing St. Louis at a 59 overall

    Also, Sergei Gonchar was playing then and is a defensive development coach in Vancouver now

  4. happigofucky

    That team would smash ur fucking teeth out and score like 2 goals a game on their way to a 18th overall finish

  5. icantfindagoodlogin

    What’s crazy is how many of the goalies played for Vancouver

  6. AmeriCanadian98

    Pretty neat! Would like to note that Alex Tanguay is also a coach for the Red Wings and was on the Avs in 00 and 01

  7. GardinerExpressway

    The most shocking for me is that Manny Malhotra was in the league in 1999? He just feels like a post lockout guy

  8. Legionnaire11

    Mark Recchi is now an assistant with the Jackets. So is Steve McCarthy but I don’t think he’s in the game.

  9. SovietHockeyFan

    So Lefebvre’s reward for stagnating the Habs farm team for three years is a promotion to an NHL bench?

    Cool story.

    They tried to clone Sakic but then they got Sacco instead.

  11. nukfan94

    Damn do you still play NHL 2000? If so, how? Grew up on this.

  12. No disrespect to Peca, he was a great player, but funny seeing him be the highest rated player on a team that includes Martin St. Louis, Rod Brind’Amour, Phil Housley, Rick Tocchet and Marc Savard

  13. realdeal411

    I tried to build a management team in NHL95 or 97 and I had like Marc Bergevin who was like a 37 overall. Ratings were crazy back then

  14. unKappa

    Kinda funny how the best player is also the 2nd lowest rated.

  15. anthonyd3ca

    Holy shit, this gave me a wave of nostalgia. This was my favourite game to play. I had the PC version on my Windows 98.

  16. I realllllly wish John MacLean wasn’t a coach!

  17. MF__SHROOM

    now id like to see all of them at their peak EA stat, any year that may be, all together

  18. LandofEntrapment97

    Whenever I see Phil Housley now I think of his Du recruiting story with Tom Martin

  19. Thirlstane_Brawler

    Goalie Bob has been so great for the Bruins

  20. NickofSantaCruz

    If you expanded the criteria to include General Managers:

    Pat Verbeek (ANA), Don Sweeney (BOS), Steve Yzerman (DET), Rob Blake (LA), Bill Guerin (MIN), Tom Fitzgerald (NJ), Chris Drury (NYR), Daniel Briere (PHI), Mike Grier (SJ), and Ron Francis (SEA)

  21. metalconfection

    nice post. i played the hell out of this with my dad on pc. he always had Paul Mara turn into a monster on his team

  22. cooljayhu

    Feel like pure shit just want 2000 sports game aesthetics back

  23. 2ndprize

    I’m pretty sure 3 of the 4 terrible goalies in the last slide played for the bolts at some point.

  24. heatseekerdj

    Manny mfing malholtra is coaching too ? LFG !

  25. Fit_Aardvark_8811

    Damn too bad dean “creed” evason couldn’t make the list. He looks like a bonafide psycho. Love him as my team’s coach!
