FORESIGHT: Utah Mammoth BACK Andre Tourigny, Blaine Forsythe—FANS DEBATE Coaching Vision

Jun 25, 2026 · 30 min · Ep 1143

Utah Mammoth lock in Andre Tourigny, Blaine Forsythe, and add Adam Foote to the bench—are they signaling a full “win now” mentality or simply doubling down on incremental progress?

Tom Callahan and Robyn Leaño react to the surprising multi-year coaching extensions and dissect what these moves reveal about GM Bill Armstrong’s confidence in the staff. The hosts scrutinize Forsythe’s polarizing power play results, debate whether Adam Foote’s Stanley Cup pedigree could transform the defense, and question if Utah’s identity is finally taking shape. With the NHL Draft approaching, they explore whether the Mammoth should leverage their first-round pick for immediate help or continue playing the long game. Can Tourigny’s crew take the next step, or is this simply more patience for a never-ending rebuild?
