Do you actually believe: 

3) That Jack Adams finalist Lindy Ruff would put up with him if he was as bad as you think?

Appert was Kevyn's guy. The only reason he got the assistant coach job was because Kevyn was GM.

Yes, hockey coaches heavily use X's and O's to diagram plays.

 

I always thought they were showing love with hugs and kisses when they show my son that board on the bench.   Goddamit.

Okay, he's Kevyn's guy. (All he did was take the Amerks to the AHL Final Four.) But Jarmo's in charge now. So why is Appert still there?

You're doing a great job. Don't let the haters win.

90% Appert is the heir to Lindy as has been the plan all along.

Knoblauch has been coaching the BEST PP in the league for the past several years with Edmonton. 

League rules state that once a coaches season is over, he can sign with another team in the playoffs as a consultant. 

Is this a move the Sabres GM should make? 

"An NHL team can hire a current assistant coach from another team as a consultant once their season is over, but it requires permission from the coach's current team because they are still under contract. Such moves are treated as hiring to a new position, allowing for the hiring of staff during the offseason. 

Key points regarding this scenario:

Contract Status: Coaches under contract cannot simply sign elsewhere; they need approval from their current organization, even if the team is eliminated.

Consultant Roles: Teams often utilize consultants or advisors, particularly those with deep knowledge of opponents or specific strategies.

Timing: Once the team's season is over, restrictions regarding working with another organization are often relaxed, provided the contract permits it or the team grants permission.

Affiliation Limits: If the team is within the same organization (e.g., an NHL team hiring an AHL assistant), this is straightforward; if it is a different organization, it requires formal permission."

NEVER!!! 

 

I don't want this d!ckhead anywhere NEAR our beloved boys in blue n' gold!!! 

 

I'll NEVER forgive that $hitty shade he threw at the BILLS!!! 

 

F*CK this guy, SEVERELY!!! 

F*CK him, right in his ear!

It's a legit question. If someone is going to say Appert is Adams' made guy, the explain why he's still on the bench?

The most impressive looking power play of the season was the one that didn't matter, the one the other night in Boston where they were just killing the clock with it to be polite. They were actually set up nicely, in complete control for once, and passing to one another with precision. Maybe by having the PP unit kill the clock with it, Appert accidentally discovered how to finally run a successful PP.
