Demidov is a HAB
Jesus they tried to get Groulx. They really wanted to make a bad hire.
Also, compared to JF Houle, anyone is better.
Yeah Groulx is resta bad communicatorJesus they tried to get Groulx. They really wanted to make a bad hire.
Michael Therrien grew and learned. Twice.Dude, the last time he coached junior hockey was 2011. That was 13 years ago! People can grow & learn, you know.
Johnson isn't his problem. He was busting before he got there. Jiricek was shit in NHL, and is a management decision not a coaching one. If the G.M wanted Jiricek to play in NHL, he would have played.
He did extremely well coaching Winnipeg's minor league team. A lot of quality NHLers came up while being coached by him, including Connor, Perfetti, Copp, Roslovic, Appleton, B. Tanev, and more.
Marcotte mentions that the Habs approached Benoit Groulx to be a potential candidate before he took the KHL job. However, Groulx obviously saw a better opportunity there. But it proves that experience was a factor in the Habs' research.
Suzuki was also on the 4th line wing as a rookie. Earn your ice time bro. It should be easy on a garbage team.
No hahaFor the laughs, is there one of these for Therrien?
If the comments during Laval games are any indication, I’d say there’s about 5 of us who actually watch the games.We can rag on JF Houle because he wasn't perfect. But one thing we can say is that he developed the players enough that when they got called up, it was seamless. To different degrees of course because the talent level from player to player is different. But he prepared them pretty well.
Yea, I think we agree that with the Lefebvre fiasco, they won't go down that route anymore.A bit surprising to me, I was kind of expecting an ex-player with very little coaching experience. Not thrilled with the stuff from CLB, but he seemed to do well with the Peg's farm team so I'll certainly give him the benefit of the doubt for now. In the end it's about how much he fits into the teams overall coaching & development philosophy. I can certainly buy the idea that he's better suited to be an AHL coach where his mandate isn't simply to win as many games as possible as opposed to the NHL job where the mandate probably was do whatever to win.
It isn't.If the comments during Laval games are any indication, I’d say there’s about 5 of us who actually watch the games.
14 min for a rookie Defenseman is not low. People want rookies to play 19 hard minutes with PP just to claim that they've been rushed in after 2 years.Suzuki was also on the 4th line wing as a rookie. Earn your ice time bro. It should be easy on a garbage team.
Jiricek can’t defend. No surprise there with the limited time.
Kent Johnson just isn’t that good.
Again, sounds like a dogshit organization trying to blame the guy that didn’t expect to be the coach.
