This does not exactly make me feel better, considering that Roy is considered/expected to be a extremely offensively minded coach.
Is it run and gun? I don't know, but that term gets used in a very general sense.
I only have seen the Remparts when they played in the Memorial cup, and honestly I don't remember the style they played now.
Wilsons team was straight up weak defensively though, and would have needed someone like Tim Thomas in net to do well I think.
However Roy and Allaire know each other very well, and put Giguere into that mix, at least communication should not be an issue.
However both Roy and Allaire are extremely strong willed, and if things aren't going well I would expect fireworks.
The knock on Allaire in the goalie community is that he is stuck in his blocking system, that worked better in the old NHL than in the new one with less obstruction and smaller goalie equipment.
His goalies tend to be less acrobatic, more positional, and rather passive. Another quirk is they tend to prioritize getting the elbows in to the body for no holes, but this tends to move the stick blade to the side for some questionable 5 hole goals.
Also that Allaire is a "my way or the highway" kind of coach. That is strongly his reputation, but when I talk to people who have gone to his camps, or read interviews with people like Leaf back up Ben Scrivens, they say this is not the case. So who knows....one would think the reputation came from somewhere though.
My personal belief on it, (and what I try to apply to my own game albeit a zillion levels below NHL) is that Allaire's methods are rock solid as a starting point, or a base from which I work, but if you just rely on technique alone, you will get into trouble, so you still have to battle, improvise, and do whatever it takes to stop the puck.
Giguere is sort of my mentor (though he doesn't know it...or me!
) but I have to watch falling into the trap of playing the system instead of reading the shot.
Giguere really is the ultimate Allaire style goalie though, with all the strengths and weaknesses.
If you like how he plays, you will like Allaire. If you like your goalies to make more spectacular desperation saves, you will hate Allaire.
