I am making a good salary from home $1400-$2400/week , which is amazing, under a year back I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,

Here is what I do……  M­­o­­n­­e­­y­­6­­­3­.­­C­­­­o­­­m

And, let’s also not forget, he had MONTHS to prepare for the series. (Head explodes) 🤯

Those who know best have spoken.

I dont think we can say hes under achieved. “Hardest trophy to win in sports” and we got 1 and beat Cooper one of the best to do it on the bench. Losing in the 1st round i will agree blows ass. Losing is losing if you dont win it all. If we would have lost in the 2nd round 2 years in a row is it still the same? It takes a special shitstorm of luck in the playoffs to win it all. Florida had it this year for sure. We had it in 22. We had it work against us this year. The ish with mikko was really 50%luck 50% him in that last game.

Deboer 3 Wcf appearances and shitcanned for over achieving and still not getting that cup. Bednars overall success at all levels plays a huge part to the amount slack hes had. Kroenke winning a super biwl, stanley cup, and larry brown back2back2back helps too.

I think this is the year the pressure is finally on Bednar/Cmac and the guys to deliver from management.

Look at the dallas series. Kept sending out the same PP unit and same scheme. Avs choked hard and used bennett as a scapegoat.

Not only that but last 3 years the roster has had no stability.

Not trying to troll. But I think if you conducted a poll. It would probably be 75/25 that he’s under achieved. Relative to the amount of talent he has had to work with. Having that cup win in 22 really obfuscates the fact that he’s been past the 2nd round once in essentially a decade.

And I would also argue that outside of the Tampa series. Anytime the Avs in his tenure have gone up against an elite(ish) level team or coach. He’s been thoroughly out strategised & they’ve lost. And I’m not one of his haters that regularly comment on here. Just being honest.

Hockey Canada picked Jon Cooper to be the head coach. And probably defer a lot to him as to who he might want as assistants on his staff. It’s highly likely most of these choices are based on relationships that have been cultivated or familiarity.

And even if that isn’t this case. It’s hard to argue with running it back with the same staff from 4 Nations. Not only because Canada won. It’s also because they want as much connective tissue as possible from international tournament to international tournament. With both the coaches & the players.

Bednar is adequate. But if I’m being perfectly honest I don’t think he is anywhere near the X & O’s guy that either Cassidy or Deboer are. He probably has more in common with Cooper. Who seems like more of a players coach. And less of a strategist. Deboer has wore out his welcome at every stop because of his personality. Not because of his hockey acumen.

Or better yet, Paul Maurice is more worthy than most of these coaches.

If anybody got snubbed it is Jim Montgomery, who has made more from less, getting an aging Bruins to a league record 65 wins and turning the Blues season around and taking the president’s trophy jets to ot in game 7.

But given that he didn’t receive a single Jack Adams vote after what he did last year with a record number of man games lost, is just further proof of the ridiculous lack of respect he gets.
