Today is a bit of a humorous day on Coachspeak as we show a coach and then maybe what he should use as a proper motivational tool.  Whatever Mike Babcock said after this pre-game with the media clearly worked as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Boston Bruins 6-1 and it was not really that close.  So here is the master psychologist at work talking about what he knows best and that is getting a team ready to play.

Now do not worry we have a special treat for all of our readers out there.

Now if those two videos are motivation for coaches then I do not know what is. Have a great Saturday and do not Weekly Slapshot is on at Noon on Blog Talk Radio’s Fantasy Sports Channel.  There will be a half hour of in your face fantasy hockey questions and more.  See you then.

A simple one today for everyone’s approval and then we will try and be a good son and jump the mom’s computer.  Let this be a lesson to everyone and not to procrastinate.  C’est la vie.  It is video time.

So thoughts on Ron Wilson going Ed Belfour for wins?

Coachspeak returns with a simple video on this Saturday.  This was a very honest assessment of the Thrashers 4-2 loss at home to the Colorado Avalanche.  Enjoy

Coach was not one to spread Christmas cheer last night…..

The fantasy performers are coming later this evening but in the meantime there is good old Coachspeak where we find a coach willing to talk and it bounces off YouTube and lands here for the naked eye.  Let’s see what we have today.

Mike Babcock has less funny faces and more anecdotes here. Columbus and San Jose up next…..

Ah how enjoyable it is to be young and at the grassroots levels……enjoy.

Have a great Saturday!

Coachspeak will be making its return in late September officially but on a light day today, we wanted to give the fans a treat.  We wanted to thank TheHockeyCardShow for this one from the World Hockey Summit.  Enjoy and hopefully tomorrow there will be more news and at least there will be a show.

Bob Boughner, ladies and gentlemen.

Today we sadly say goodbye to Coachspeak until September!!!!  It is funny how that works but today we have a video that will truly cap off the NHL season.  Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen and here it comes!!!!

A hearty congrats to Coach Q on shutting me up.  I never thought he could win the big one and he did.  Give the man some major kudos…he may have not done it conventionally all the time but the bottom line is he did it!  See you in September with more Coachspeak!

We take it easy on this night with Coachspeak!  Today we take a look at some of the best rants by coaches of all time.  Yes these are from the playoffs.  Now sit back, enjoy, and most importantly have a good chuckle.  These are really vintage and will stand any test of time.  Here goes something.

Rant on NHL coaches…..rant on!!!!

This week’s video goes to Ron Wilson who was not as animated as usual but still effective after a 5-2 loss to Buffalo in November at home!!!
