Dallas (AFP) – Gulin Gulotzan believes that Dallas stars have taken a correct decision on his training career, first not kept as a main coach 12 years ago and now returns him in the same role.
theRe -introducing the stars GolotzanAs their coach on Wednesday, with him and the privilege in both different places at that time at that time. One of Jim Neil’s first decisions after he became a general manager in 2013 was to make a training change after spending two weeks to speak with Gulutzan about the players who got it for two seasons in his first job in NHL.
“There was a few of the relationship that was formed. Now our last meeting was,“ hey, I will not renew you, and greet your keys, ”said Golotzan on Wednesday when he was sitting next to Neil, who is still Dallas General Motors.” At the end of the day, Jim was right. This is the league where you must get some wounds on you, and some scars … you must gain experience. “
Golotzan, 54, has this after training with three different teams in Canada. He was an aide in the past seven seasons with Edmonton, including the last two Stanley Cup final after his victory over the Western Conference title, after two seasons as a main coach in Calgary and his cause as an assistant in Vancouver.
Julotzan said with a smile: “I am a kind of assembling it a little together, so 12 years ago, Jim had already sent me on a reconnaissance mission, and that was across West Canada,” Julotzan said with a smile. “He didn’t tell me about a week ago that he was bringing me back.”
Golotzan was not a major coach in NHL when the stars rented him in 2011, and that was when the privilege was going through bankruptcy and change of ownership, and mainly managed by the league.
The two Golotzan seasons concluded a long franchise chain of five consecutive qualifiers before Lindy Rove restored the stars. They were in the post -11 seasons before, including the only Stanley Cup title in 1999 and another championship for the Western Conference next year under the leadership of Ken Hitchcock, the only one who won two coaches in Dallas.
The current stars start three consecutive seasonsIt ended in the West FinalAnd six seven -year -old matches with a final appearance in the Stanley Cup in the Canadian bubble during the 2020 qualifiers.
When Neil decided in the wake of the last qualifying losing to shoot at Dibor Beit after three seasons, General Motors said he had met many coaches at all levels. His operation continued to return to the coach who did not keep in 2013.
“He talks to the people he worked with, he worked with them, all I heard about him is that he will go through the wall for you. He is organized, he is a professional, cares about people,” Nil said. “His autobiography has prepared him and his experience over the years for this opportunity … It is one thing for his success, but you have to go through difficult times. Everyone does that. It is those difficult times when you discover who you are, and this is what Glin did.”
There were also opportunities to work with coaches such as John Turutorella, Hitchcock, Dave Tippett and Kris Knoblauch.
Julotzan was 64-57-9 with stars from 2011-13, then went to Vancouver before the 82-68-14 record as a main coach for divorce from 2016-18. Then he joined Oilers, and was part of 79 players over the past five years.
The only player who is still with the stars from the first period of Julotzan is Captain Jimmy Ben, who recently signedHold to return to the seventeenth season.
Neil met with Golotzan a few days after the Edmonton season ended with the 6th loss of the game to Florida in the Stanley Cup final.
Nile said: “I was very affected by a person who was destroyed after losing, how he made himself, and how we talked about the situations,” Nil said. “The resumption of the job when you are a major coach in NHL is X’s and O’s. It’s strategies, they are games plans. We all know that, but in the end, the character is concerned.”
It was still a bit surrealist for Julotzan to return to the homeland of the stars, as he was a major coach in NHL in the early 1940Edmonton loss in game 1From the final west.
“I was on the other side to count the team when you beat us in game 1, and now sitting here,” he said. “But for me, it still seems to be at home. So it is an easy modification.”
