Minnesota Has A New Head Coach
And, shockingly, he didn't coach their AHL team last year. Amazing...but true! Todd Richards - a former assistant for the Sharks - is the guy.
Here's what Mike Russo has to say about him:
Over the past month, I’ve talked to scores of people who know and coached with Richards. He is an aggressive, up-tempo coach that fits the style Fletcher wants to play. As one NHL assistant coach who worked with Richards just told me, he’s going to coach the way he played. He won’t be a sit-back and watch coach, the person said. He’s going to activate his defense and go-go-go.

This looks like they could be moving into the polar opposite of Lemaire’s style. Not sure if they are built for it. Reminds me of another team’s former offseason…….(only Minnesota may actually have a plan).
I'm really jealous...
…of pretty much every other team in the league right now…
I don't believe in Peter Budaj.
It’s a good thing the Avs didn’t need a coach like that. Oh wait….nevermind.

true, although it’s worth noting that’s almost exactly what they said about Granato

There’s no way this move will work well if they’re going to hire someone from outside their organization. Believe us, we know, we’re Avs fans. Inside the organization is the only way to go.

AHL coaches can't become NHL coaches.
What are these guys thinking! You can’t just go off and hire somebody because you like them. Their fans must be pissed.
Do people from Minnesota get pissed? Can they afford to expend the energy with all the cold weather and wolf attacks?
