MBHockey13 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 http://blogs.theprovince.com/2015/05/18/whl-giants-speaking-to-ted-nolan-about-their-vacant-head-coaching-job-worked-in-junior-in-2005-06/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter "According to various sources, the Vancouver Giants have talked to Ted Nolan about their vacant coaching job. It’s early stages, and Nolan, 57, could easily end up back in the NHL or elsewhere in pro. He did coach in junior as recently as 2005-06, though, when he guided the Moncton Wildcats to the QMJHL regular season championship. The Wildcats also hosted the Memorial Cup national tournament that spring, where, oddly enough, their opponents included the Giants, the WHL champions from that season. Nolan parlayed that one season with Moncton into a job with the New York Islanders the next season. He had been out of the NHL since 1996-97. An NHL source I spoke to Monday said that Nolan is “interested,” in the Giants job. The Giants went with two coaches with extensive pro resumes last season, first with Troy Ward and then Claude Noel. The team struggled, finishing with five fewer wins than it had in 2013-14 and missing the playoffs, and one of the issues seemed to be whether Ward and Noel meshed with their young charges. Ward hadn’t worked in junior since 1994-95, Noel since 1989-90. Nolan was fired by the Sabres on April 11. The Sabres (23-51-8) finished last in the NHL, but there’s been plenty of suggestion that they had put together a substandard roster in a bid to win the rights to draft Connor McDavid. It’s difficult to get hard info on coaching salaries, but the consensus seems to be that an NHL head coaching gig starts in the $700,000 range. A major junior job is usually in the $100,000 range. Noel still had a year left on his Winnipeg Jets’ contract, and, as the story goes, he kept getting that money when he joined the Giants after Ward was let go. Vancouver, in turn, paid Winnipeg the equivalent of a WHL coaching wage. There were reports that Nolan signed a three-year extension with Buffalo in March, 2014. The Giants are staying quiet about their coaching search this year. Last May, they let Don Hay out of the last year of his contract to coach the rival Kamloops Blazers, Hay’s hometown team and the first WHL club he had worked with. They courted various replacements, including Travis Green, Tim Hunter and Steve Hamilton. They eventually inked a deal with Ward, the former bench boss of the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat, in July." Quote

MBHockey13 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Posted May 19, 2015 Nolan could easily end up back in the NHL? A bit of hyperbole perhaps... I thought the same thing. But I definitely wish him well and would love for him to have a lot of success in juniors. Quote
X. Benedict Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Nolan could easily end up back in the NHL? A bit of hyperbole perhaps... "could easily end up back" modal/adverb of manner/phrasal verb/preposition I might gently float off from the Earth. Quote

Kruppstahl Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Nolan could easily end up back in the NHL? A bit of hyperbole perhaps... If it was "hyperbole" the writer would have intended for it not to be taken literally, which defeats the intention of your post. A better choice of wording in your post would have been "exaggeration". No offense, INKMAN! This is one of my pet peeves. I don't like the parroting culture of chat forums, where users repeat trite terms that have been used previously. The only thing worse than "HYPERBOLE" in this context is "NARRATIVE". I hate that one too. These are terms that are frequently misused and would not be used at all had the poster using them not seen someone else use the term and thought "That seems intelligent, I think I'll copy that!" Again, I don't mean to direct this at you INKMAN! In fact, I wish I could buy you a pop and talk Sabres hockey. I am a displaced Sabres fan and I don't know of any real human being in my area who cares about hockey generally, or the Sabres specifically. Quote
