He’s just a beast of a man. When I knew we’d have to start looking for a new coach… I wanted to get a Bylsma or Boucher kind of a coach… young, intimidating, beastly, commanding, cool, collected.

After watching Bylsma in the HBO series, I was like “wow this guy is unreal”. That’s sort of how I feel with Dineen.

Should have seen him play regularly. There’s a reason he’s revered in Hartford.

Words cannot express the amount of character Dineen has. After looking up articles and videos of him, I have a whole new respect for him. There is a reason he was called Mr. Class.

A lot of my buds in the hockey world out there..

Have been chirping me nonstop at the fact that we traded for Campbell.. he’s overpaid (which may be true) he’s overrated.. he can’t play defense..

Oh and the fact that the numbers he’s put up in the past.. 40-50 assists etc were done while he played for chicago, toews, kane, hossa, buff etc.. well I was looking at some of his highlights on youtube, and it just seems as if he’s all skill, and his skating ability is probably top 5 in the nhl from the blueline.. check it out..

all of which were individual efforts that the team around him had nothing to do with. :]

Chicago willingly traded him away to get Olesz? I mean, I get that the trade clears some cap room but… seriously? Olesz? Really? For Campbell?

Frolik with the assist!

Consider me excited with this acquisition

He will be

A very valuble asset. He already has post season success, he is smart with the puck, and after watching those vids Rob posted he has good hands. Guds and them will develop nicely with him. He might also be a deciding factor for some free agents that are thinking of coming to Florida.

Sorry double post. I was talking about Campbell.

I wonder if this signing will have any effect on resigning Vokoun

The unaimed arrow never misses
I miss you already Olesz. What we had was tight. Still pulling for those 85 goals you were going to score under Dineen. Chicago will appreciate them, I'm sure.
