What he did there was very smart. He deflected attention from the players, and he let them play, and I think that was coaching as much as anything.
"Donald Andrew Moog" is a Canada/Canadian retired professional ice hockey goaltender.
He played for the Western Hockey League/WCHL's Kamloops Chiefs, Western Hockey League/WHL's Billings Bighorns, Central Hockey League (1963–84)/CHL's Wichita Wind, National Hockey League/NHL's Edmonton Oilers, Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens and the Canada men's national ice hockey team/Canadian national team. Moog is a three-time Stanley Cup champion: 1984, 1985 and 1987. He earned the 1989–90 NHL season William M. Jennings Trophy for fewest total goal (ice hockey)/goals against the team during the regular season, sharing the trophy with his goaltending partner, Réjean Lemelin/Reggie Lemelin.
Moog spent the 2009-10 NHL Season/2009-10 season as an assistant coach for the Dallas Stars.
More Andy Moog on Wikipedia.I've noticed he doesn't appear as patient as he normally is when traffic comes in front. We'll just get his work ethic going and try to get him comfortable and figure it out.
I know there are a lot of people who say that great players have trouble coaching, but I do think he is a little different. Two things you value in a coach are patience and long-term focus, and I think Wayne has both of those.
He doesn't mind seeking support. He did it as a player, and he did it with Team Canada, and I imagine he'll do it with coaching. He is not afraid to put quality people around him and let them do their jobs.
