Wow. I don’t know how to feel.
Who the frick is Mike Peca
I can’t be the only one who doesn’t know how to feel.
With laviolette being the “safe” hire, I wanted big swings with the assistants who could bring some new ideas and life while also having the cachè to actually make some decisions.
I have no clue if peca falls into that categorization.
I know Michael Peca the player but not the coach. Hopefully this is a good hire. No idea
Most recent coaching « On February 10, 2021, Peca was hired by the Washington Capitals to be a player development coach working with the « taxi squad » players for the 2020–21 season.[8] In 2021, he was hired by the Buffalo Sabres as an assistant coach with their American Hockey League affiliate, the Rochester Americans. »
Even though he was on the Isles and a pest; that cheap shot by Darcy Tucker on him in the 02 playoffs was one of the dirtiest hits I have ever seen in my life and it basically ended his career. Nothing but respect for the guy and hope he does a good job here
How many ex-Islanders are they going to jam behind the bench?. Is Mike Milbury not available.
…fuck, I hope I didn’t give anyone any stupid ideas.
Great hire. Americans were a really well-coached team this year (they had great talent but they were also really fun)
Mike has been a development coach before, he’s been working with JJ Peterka and Jack Quinn recently, to name a few.
I’m hoping this kind of works out like Brunette and Ruff where Laviolette kinda takes a back seat and lets Peca do his thing
