Big news from the NHL as they've dropped the Jack Adams Award nominees! Now, before we dive in, let's remember this is all about the regular season, so any playoff heartbreak won't factor into these picks.
First, there's Rick Bowness from the Winnipeg Jets. They might not have shown up in the playoffs, but during the regular season, they were 52-24-6. The Jets boasted the best defensive team in the NHL. And let's not forget about their goalie duo, Connor Hellebuyck and Laurent Brossoit, who snagged the William Jennings Trophy as the best tandem in the league.
Next, Rick Tocchet from the Vancouver Canucks. With a solid record of 50-23-9, they clinched the Pacific Division after missing the playoffs last year.
Lastly, Andrew Brunette from the Nashville Predators. They had a stellar season with a record of 47-30-5 and even managed to pull off the franchise's best point streak ever with 18 straight games (16-0-2) without a loss, propelling them into the playoffs.
So, who's your money on for the Jack Adams Award? These coaches have all had fantastic seasons, so it's anyone's award.
