All I know is that the Hawks should fire their head coach because I heard he's on the hot seat.</p>

Obviously they believe he can teach that skill.</p>


 </p>


If it was so easy, why doesn't a team bring in Wayne Gretzky to teach pin point passing?  Why isn't Paul Coffey a power-skating coach?   </p>

Some can't some can.  But to discount any of them without the shot is ignorant.</p>

Year before last he played 40 games, had a 2.63 and a .910 on a horrible defensive team.  He had season ending surgery and Edmonton wanted to give Dubnik the shot last year.</p>


 </p>


Maybe they believe he can do both?  So far with 2 Cups in 4 years, I'm not going to second guess anything they are doing, as it's obviously working.</p>


 </p>


Welcome back Nik for WHAT EVER role you play, and can retire a Hawk.</p>

The fact that people truly think he's the Hawks next goaltending coach is hilarious.  Really? What makes Khabby a candidate to be our next goalie coach? </p>


 </p>


Teams don't typically just hand over that type of a role without some prior experience in coaching.  Look at most NHL clubs goaltending coaches.  Sure ALOT played at a high level, but most if any didn't get signed straight out of the pro's.  </p>


 </p>


I can't believe this is even a real topic of conversation.</p>

Has coach written all over him. Bold letters. GOALIEARMOV COACHALCHUK.</p>


 </p>


I would be surprised if he wasn't coaching while backing up Crawford this season. Khabi is a machine..he has a reputation not only of loving his vodka but also being a training monster. He is a perfect candidate to be a coach with this organisation. Perfect!!!!</p>


 </p>


Tretiak never had goalie coaching experience and he became one of the best NHL goalie coaches of all time. Its totally false that goalie coaches can't get hired without the experience of coaching elsewhere. </p>


 </p>


Khabibulin Coach = Tretiak Coach.</p>


 </p>


Russian goalie coaches for Prime Minister!!!!!</p>

oh oh Trev you know people like myself are up for these type of challenges. Mostly out of interest because i am a nerd.</p>


 </p>


I just did look at the list of NHL goalie coaches and actually many of them didn't have much coaching experience if any at all before signing on as a goalie coach. I think you owe us all an apology for not telling the truth. Here are some guys that had no coaching experience (well maybe they did in their kids pee wee leagues) and were hired as NHL goalie coaches. Some not "straight out of the pros" so you do get points for that. Some were hired after a couple years of them doing nothing but hanging out with family or such.</p>


 </p>


Dwayne Roloson</p>


Bob Essensa</p>


Sean Burke</p>


Jeff Reese</p>


Cory Schwab</p>


Cory Hirsch</p>


Wade Flaherty</p>


Bob Mason</p>


Jim Corsi</p>


Jim Bedard</p>


Fredric Chabot</p>


Rob Tallas</p>


Mike Dunham</p>


Gilles Meloche</p>


 </p>


I'll stop there as I don't want to go through the rest of the list. But it appears that about half of the goalie coaches in the league didn't have coaching resumes before being hired.</p>


 </p>


3 or 4 other guys I noticed maybe had one year coaching experience..not even in a goalie coach position.</p>

He should just be playing with a whistle in his mouth and a play board and note pad in his hands.</p>

I said "STRAIGHT OUT OF THE NHL" as I know you read that. </p>


 </p>


The only one while I was browsing every NHL team ( I only looked through about 10-15) current goalie coaches, Roloson was the only one who went straight to goalie coach for Anaheim, though he started with the AHL team first in January.</p>
