help with Mike Smith too when he got to Phoenix. Seems like he knows how to teach bigger goalies how to play properly.

My thoughts are similar. Also the old adage of those who can do, those who can't teach - Burke was able to have a long and decent career despite his lesser talent which likely means he had to put more work into it, understand and push the fundamentals and learn to be positionally sound - sounds a lot like Price's ideal game other than Price having greater natural talent

really...? huh, didn't notice that lollll

CHECK THE STATS, he always drunk on a Tuesday's games !

it's pretty rare to see stars turn into good coaches in general. Brind'Amour is one that comes to mind but he was never really a star i would say.

you could also debate the "star" status for these guys as well, depending on how you define what a star is

Why should I have to provide the stats or research that I'm basing my questionable at best opinion on? You do it

over 950 carreer points for Tocchet and Muller man don't be like that

...and I'm also hoping you won't actually look it up, because it might make me look bad rather than proving my point.

I don't think it can only be defined in terms of points.. not saying they're bums, just bringing up the question

You're a bum!



Honestly they were stars, not superstars. Superstars like Gretzky probably make bad coaches.

Yzerman and Sakic are doing alright as GMs

You can have a great head for the game, but be a couch potato. Conversely, you can be a star player, but an idiot otherwise (see Patrick Kane). Point is production on the ice is a very different set of skills from coaching.

ahh there ya go, all makes sense now.

and yes I'm a bum, proud to be one.

ok but are either of them really good coaches? Muller has been an assistant aside from an unsuccessful stint in Carolina. Tocchet has never made the playoffs as a coach.

Anyway I just didn't like the Sean Burke wasn't a great goalie I'll hope he'll be a better goalie coach statement from Karine. I expect better of her.

ya back when the leaders had 160 pts, so I guess it makes him a 45 pts guy by nowaday standard

He also got fired twice rapidly and oddly, not sure he such a great coach

They made them last season, he even won a round. He head coached Tampa in their terrible years and now Arizona, hard to make a name for yourself. I would say he is still unproven

Well most people around were ready to rip their shirts out and try to reinstate the Montreal maroons because he wasn't immidiately given the job.
