Penguins Player Grid Day 17: Best Coach (All Time)


Some people suggested to continue this grid, so I thought why not! This will now take us to the start of the regular season!

After the revote, there were a few changes:

For worst player (top 3 lines), it changed from Konstantin Koltsov to Jack Johnson

Best Defender changed to Best Defensemen

Best Defensemen was voted as Paul Coffey

The rest stayed the same

  1. Sully has taken a lot of heat lately, but even if you think he’s worn out his welcome, I still think he’s the winner here. He right sized the ship when things were looking downright abysmal for this core. He won back-to-back Cups, and his coaching was a factor throughout. Each of the big three, who have now played for quite a few coaches, say they don’t ever want to play for anyone else.

    Badger Bob and Scotty Bowman just each had too short of a tenure IMO, even though the former could have had a remarkable coaching legacy (RIP) and you don’t need to say much about the latter’s career accomplishments.

  2. If you mean relative to a single season, it’s Bowman. If you mean overall quality over a prolonged period it’s probably Sully. Dan was kind of exposed as a gym teacher as his tenure went on and failure in other markets occurred. Badger simply wasn’t around long enough. Not his fault but that’s reality.
