Jack Adams nominees

[jstewismybastardson]

I heard this one was gonna be renamed also

the "we expected your team to suck but your teams performance surprised us so heres your best coach nomination ... enjoy unemployment in 2 years" trophy

Sacco, Tippett, Trotz

 

[dash]

The sentimental choice is Tippett, but I think Sacco deserves it. Trotz won't win it, but he just finds a way to get results year in and year out

 

[postmaster]

I would bet Tippett wins it

 

[Larry N]

They're not renaming it the Gordon Bombay Trophy? I thought Bettman would be all over it.

I think Trotz should get the award, but it probably will be Tippet.

 

[Destroydacre]

I would bet Tippett wins it

I think so too. All 3 are deserving candidates though. No complaints if any one of them gets it.

 

[esls79]

I think Sacco had less to work with, but Tippet wasn't the Yotes head coach until 9 days before the regular season started. Tough call.

If I had a vote, I'd give it to Lemaire...

 

[Burns80y]

I think it is Tippett for sure. Although what Sacco did was just as impressive.

Obvious West Coast bias.

Obvious West Coast bias.

LOL...give it to Trotz then. That's more of an eastern team.

 

[Dacks]

What is left to announce other than the Hart finalists? Is there a schedule of when they release all the info?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Tippett should get it but as someone said all three are deserving.

Barry Melrose didn't make the cut eh?

 

[johnnytata]

how about an eastern bloc bias and give it to that dude that coached team russia.

 

[loki604]

This is sort of a weird award because a coach always has to exceed expectations. Of course, if you already have really high expectations, you can't really exceed them.

I mean...hasn't Babcock only been nominated once (and didn't win)? And he's a hell of a coach.

What? No Lindy Ruff?

What? No Lindy Ruff?

They could create a new trophy named the Ruff award. Give it to the coach of the team with most diving calls, who had the most TV cutaways from him on the bench cuz he was cussing or whose team suffered the biggest loss in the most controversial way.

I agree. Lindy Ruff is pretty awesome.

THE SKATE WAS IN THE CREASE GODDAMMIT!!!




If I had a vote, I'd vote for Sacco. The "pundits" if you will keep slobbering over Tippet, because he "singlehandedly" turned the Yotes around, and they keep slobbering over Bryzgalov because he "singlehandedly" made the Yotes contenders. I think it's a little of both over there. The Avs, on the other hand, played WAAAY over their heads. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for them, Phoenix has been rebuilding since the lockout. It's about time those draft picks started playing some damn hockey.

Tippet.
