Phil Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 This is great news. Specifically because it takes him off the table for the Devils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) 33 minutes ago, siddious said: Not really a vote of confidence He still had a year on his deal, according to Elliot, so this gives him another year. At the end of this contract he will have been the Lightning's coach for close to 14 years. I think this makes sense. One of the reasons why he was so successful when he came in is because he coached a lot of the Tampa players in the AHL. That's not the case anymore, and his message may start to lose its impact as the veterans go out and the young players come in. There's not really a reason to sign him longer than that. They can always extend him again. Edited May 1 by Pete 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 This is weird, you would think this guy would know what's going on. @Phil isn't Pagnotta the frosted tips guy who we don't like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Love the guy, and glad he's staying there for a few more years. This will probably be his last deal with Tampa, so it gives him some more longevity. In a sport where it can be a coaching carousel, having a coach leading the same team for what will be close to 15 years is rare. Obviously they have a near three-peat to show for it, but still, a tenure like that in the NHL is difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
