ChevyVanMiller Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 6-3: DAN BYLSMA GOES IN DEPTH ON EICHEL IN STUDIO ON WGR (25:00) @WGR550 Great interview. I like Dan, he's articulate and doesn't seem to speak in the boring "Hockey Speak" that seems to afflict so many NHL coaches.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Great interview. I like Dan, he's articulate and doesn't seem to speak in the boring "Hockey Speak" that seems to afflict so many NHL coaches. He's very thoughtful and in depth with his answers. Lots of good information on what we might see next season.

I think it was the opposite. Like, he was trying to compliment Dan without trying to seem like he was putting him down.

26CornerBlitz Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 I don't know how you don't see that as a knock on Ted It is. A coach has to have more than Work Hard, Battle, and Compete! as a game plan in today's NHL.

Almost an out-of-body experience. Bylsma: By the end of my playing career I had quite an accumulation of info. I thought I was prepared to coach, I've learned a lot since. Bylsma: I was playing when I read Moneyball, thought it had to apply to hockey. Analytics have been part of my coaching staffs for a while. Bylsma: the Aud has a special place for me in the history of the game. If I could put Aud seats in the film room, I would. Edited June 3, 2015 by 26CornerBlitz
Alaska Darin Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I don't think that's a knock at Ted. I think it was the opposite. Like, he was trying to compliment Dan without trying to seem like he was putting him down. Totally a knock on Ted.

The book on TN has always been he's not an X's and O's guy, but he gets maximum effort from his players.
