WindsorHab-10 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 ok..................lol im glad Kirk is back as well but for hockey reasons Me too. Just wondering who the other assistants will be. Any news? Anxious to see who they'll bring in as a defensive coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtrax Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Me too. Just wondering who the other assistants will be. Any news? Anxious to see who they'll bring in as a defensive coach. Perry Pearn is the other assistant. Pearn worked with Martin in Ottawa IIRC. As far as I know, there are no plans to bring in other assistants.

Bean-Counting-Hab Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I believe I heard Pearn is a defense specialist too (according to one of the habs inside out guys on the pod cast.) I don't much about him personally so take it for what it's worth. It would be nice to have have an actual experienced defense specialist working with our defense. Something which for some odd reason we didn't deem necessary before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry-Robinson Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I think that out of all our coaches behind the bench last season, it seemed that Muller seemed to have the best repore with the players and I guess after talking to Gainey and then Martin, he must have said the right things in order for the boys to keep him as the only returning coach from the 08/09 season.

357908_1475251331 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Why would you think that? his reporting problems with the islanders aren't outweighing his final years with the stars- i don't think. in any event with what we know about carbs and the stars i think the margin for muller is so razor thin- when we consider what happened with carbs and the reaction to the K bros from old team players- who bob is- what is happening this year- who do you think the eye is going to be cast on?
