From Rachel at Hockey’s Ladies of Greatness (HLOG), a profile of the one and only coach of the Nashville Predators, Barry Trotz:
His coaching style definitely has its share of quirks. He gushes over young players and sometimes puts more faith in them than I believe they deserve. He has his “favorites” that can never seem to do wrong by him, even if they always play a horrible game. He likes to keep the same team on the ice day in and day out, as long as we’re winning; even if that means continuously scratching players who should be in the lineup over ones that are just okay. He expects consistency from every player on the team and yet changes line combinations and defensive pairings faster than you can count to ten.
Barry Trotz is due to coach his 750th game behind the Nashville bench Tuesday night in Vancouver, which will make him only the 10th coach in NHL history to do so for a single team.
