O'Shea isn't the only coach that doesn't allow his assistants talk to the media.  I know Huff doesn't in Calgary.  

 

His explanation made a lot of sense and quite frankly why shouldn't he be the single source of information.  I have absolutely no issue with it.      

 

I know Montreal didn't under Trestman. 

Hufnagel allows access to his assistants but the Calgary media doesn't know they exist.

I agree.. Why let the vultures get a chance to play he said he said with coaches and/or players and create a situation? I dont see why its an issue other then it makes it harder for a sports writer to find a story I suppose... No greasy tidbits from people accidentally slipping out..

thanks for the updates! keep it up!

I really liked his explanation for it. I really do think O'Shea is going to be the kind of coach that the players will play for because early indications seem to me anyway that he will protect his players rather than doing the old Tim Burke toss them under the bus. Whether they're a good team or not I expect them to fight a hell of a lot harder this year than they did the past 2 years.
