  1. I thought he had some Swedish league HC experience as well but it appears I was wrong
  2. Thought he coached teams in the Swedish league, no?
  3. National teams are not the same as coaching a team through a grinding season. Granted I'm not sure which is harder, but it's just not the same
  4. Gronberg has more head coaching experience, and is solely a hockey guy whereas Kruger has a variety of interests, even if hockey is his main one
  5. I see what you're saying and I'm inclined to agree in most situations, but there are a lot of times in life where experience is invaluable when handling a situation, no matter your ability
  6. I think ability matters more sure but in life experience is not overrated, it means a lot
  7. To be completely honest I don't put stock in that tournament. It's just a few games with All Star players; granted they weren't the most talented team it's not like he had our AHL 3/4th lines to deal with It's also hard to judge tournaments like that because you don't know how much effort the players are really putting in, how much of it is them vs coaching staff, and there's only a handful of games so you don't know how the coach would adjust or even if he can. Ted Nolan had success in the Olympics, for what honestly sounds like somewhat similar reasons Kruger has, but he was a garbage NHL head coach
  8. Right but that's still not a lot of coaching experience Exactly
  9. He coached half an NHL season going sub .500 and then 2nd place in a World Cup tournament, yes?
  10. Bold would've been Groenberg, or at least interviewing the freaking guy
  11. I don't know, I want a hockey guy being my coach, not guy who's just generally good at running any organization
  12. What success has he had in doing anything?
  13. The fact that Greyworm and Podrick outlived Vary's is outrageous Absolutely absurd that he died before some of these characters Edit: Still, credit where credit is due. Well played GA ?
  14. So June-July-August-September-October-November And yes, I counted on my fingers for that.
  15. In history storming cities always results in murder, rape, theft, and destruction. Not even ancient history too, Allied soldiers conquering Berlin did terrible things
  16. Narrator: And he was wrong
  17. I've fallen for Turcotte and ik there's just no way he's there at 7
  18. I joined the board the next year You're all welcome ?
  19. Nope. Believe that was McClellan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Krueger#Coaching_career
  20. Coached Team Europe at the World Cup of Hockey
  21. None of these theories are going to be true. Just remember all of the Night King ones
