I can see Hal Gill be the next Assistant coach working on our Powerplay

 

[bcv]

Clement Jodoin will simply be on the bench instead of being in the pressbox.

That's a creepy thought for Subban... (anyone who watched 24CH would understand what I mean, lol)

 

[Team_Spirit]

that would be awesome

Saku behind the bench that would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet


media would ***** and moan im sure.

 

[Haburger]

Bring back muller.

 

[NobleSix]

Damn... he was the only member of the habs coaching staff that I liked. I hope he does well in Florida. He's a players coach forsure.

 

[Whitesnake]

Clement Jodoin will simply be on the bench instead of being in the pressbox.

That's about it.....I wouldn't do that but that's what it's going to be. Unless Jodoin isn't interested.

I do have another wish....name Sylvain Lefebvre as assistant. And name Houle as coach for the Bulldogs. We should not see an assistant that will become coach. But in 2 years, Houle will be ready to take charge of this team if needed.

 

[Wats]

Hopefully he's the only in charge of the PP.

 

[Whitesnake]

Gallant beating Bylsma for a head coaching job....somehow would have never believed that if somebody would have told me.

 

[HuGort]

Bring back muller.

He's already signed somewhere else for next season. Maybe Boucher?

 

[pine*]

Bring Boucher to be assistant :rock:

That's some house of cards **** from Whitesnake right here.

That would be a pretty fitting return to Montreal. Sign a 1 day contract to retire as a Hab and then start working as an assistant the next day!

you guys need to move on. Its a generational thing ... glorifying Koivu is the consequence of decades of mediocrity. some even thought about getting his jersey retired ... I mean ... really !? I feel for what he has gone through as a person but that's something else.

there is no such thing as a fitting return ... hope he stays in a galaxy far, far away.

I agree. Habs need someone competent before they can get nostalgic about anything. Who says Koivu would be good coach or assistant coach anyway? This is the guy who was a captain by example before someone who would ever make any speeches after all.

My feeling is he would be mediocre at best as a coach. (ex: Gretzky)

 

[coolasprICE]

Molson will be regretting the MT extension by January

Many here are regretting it already. Didn't Gallant run our PP?

Regardless of well thought out the strategy, when it consistently fails...write a new play book.

Wow! I'm pretty much speechless

 

[Markov4Captain]

Losing Gallant will be huge. Watching 24 CH he seems to be the only 'players coach' behind the bench. He does great work with the youngsters, namely Chuckie, Gally and Eller. He's always communicating with all the players, including some of the veterans as well as giving little intermission 'talks'. He needs to be replaced with another similar coach to contrast the sometimes 'tougher' attitude of Daigneault and Therrien, as well as Jodoin.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Daigneault is a clown... Gallant was a HC in Columbus remember.

Maybe we bring over Boucher? That wouldn't be in Bergevin's deck of cards though, too insidious and he wouldn't do that to Therrien.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

I'm not a MT hater but still a bit worried that this might have the same effect on our team as when Muller left to Carolina.

Wonder who would replace him? I don't want to break the site but... cough cough Lefebvre?

 

[Kimota]

Bring Boucher to be assistant :rock:

I don't know if this would be successful but it would be entertaining as Hell, him and Therrien.

 

[OldCraig71]

I kind of always felt that gallant was coaching our team lol, he would be the voice of reason and because of all of his playing days would easily get the respect of the players. I hope a suitable replacement is found, I nominate Matthieu Darche! Great coach material.
