His background is mostly in training ballet dancers. And he regularly wears tights that bulge below the midsection to the office. And he wiggles his tushy when he walks.

He used to be Erie County Sheriff? Maybe that was his brother. Or a distant relative.

Because his name reminds you of this guy?

Who doesn't like Gilligan?

If he knows his stuff, this will be a good thing. Much of the team needs to get bigger, stronger, and develop more endurance and speed as a whole.

You’re almost welcoming a link to the Peter Pan guy they always post over on the bills board. That never needs to come here.

He believes Appert and Ellis are great coaches.

Overwhelming past precedent

The USNTDP guy... who works with kids under 20...  is now going to the NHL to work with ...  the youngest roster in the league. Ok, ok, you win, Adams. It totally checks out.

Couldn't Staal have at least provided a name of one of the assistant S&C coaches on the Wild or Habs or Panthers?

Adams and Staal will relate to Galivan what they remember Rod the Bod doing in the gym. That's all he'll need to succeed.

Let me be the first on this thread to throw out a Danny Gallivan reference and say this was a Savardian Spinnorama of a hire.

Lol. Does Pegula sell that kool-aid by the milk jug or do you just get the powder mixture you have add water to?

If there is anything to hate on about this, the relative shortage of NHL on his resume would be it.  I understand that he’s worked with NHL players, but an experienced guy from a successful team would bring more reassurance.

There's PTR's answer.

He looks like your typical personal trainer. I mean sure, why not. I have no idea if this is good or not.

This is the guy I wanted.
