Quote: | “Everybody thinks Lou just stands back. He’s constantly talking to players, guys. He’s even texting the players. I sat beside a 75-year-old guy who’s involved in texting back and forth with young men. It’s impressive.
“I’m sure Duby and Babber [Dubas and coach Mike Babcock] have that same level. Lou and Babber talked constantly. Lou — anybody who says he doesn’t communicate? Well, he does. He really does. You’d be surprised.”

Most good coaches/management have open dialog with players now. Especially now that there is so much information and technical analysis available that is accessible for everyone. It's not just gut feelings and hunches anymore, there is so much data teams can draw on now to get the big picture of what is and isn't working with the team and individuals.
All this talk before about Hall finally listening to coaches. That wasn't just Hall submitting to his masters, that happened because Hynes is an open book and wants constant feedback from his players, and he's smart, and he is innovative. Hall's interest was piqued, and he bought in because he is finally in a competent org that values his input and has more to offer to him than dump and chase or shooting from anywhere for corsi's. That simply doesn't exist in Edmonton. We have a bunch of old school farts that think their gut feelings and hunches are the ultimate solution to every problem, and the players just need to shut up and do what they're told.

That's just it. We always heard that Hall was a student of the game, that he read up on advanced stats, that he watched old games...so why was it a surprise that a coach actually sat down and talked to him about his game???
One expects that the only time anyone talked to him here was when they were telling him that as a leader, he needed to go and give that Eakins vote of confidence - ie. the Stockholm Syndrome video...
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
