Laval Rocket: Pascal Vincent Named Laval Rocket Head Coach

[Deleted member 257557]

Yeah, I think it's just some dumbasses from french medias who decided to pull up his name cause he's from Quebec, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been mentioned in the presser anyway.

Dude was his coach

The Vincent hire always was problematic. Thankfully Laine won't have to deal with him. Problem is a lot of our future does.

 

[TRG]

What do you expect Vincent's feedback to be anyway? Except for the specifics regarding his leave of absence, I doubt it's stuff we don't know.

Hughes presser from yesterday… Guy used to be his coach, benched him so reporters asked and Hughes declined to answer. Curious about what type of coach he is and if it’s just a nothing burger out of confidentiality.

13:03, 2nd question about it (don’t go by youtube generated subtitles lol it’s making up a language)

Yes but he never said he didn’t consider Vincent opinion

 

[Guess]

I know it's a rumor site but danslescoulisses.com says that Vincent and Laine don't have a bad relationship, and that the benching incident was him being protected.

Sure. I was curious what the crowd here was thinking because seems to me if the coach had endorsed the player the gm would have not been shy to say so. No idea if it would mean anything about the player the coach or the org either, just curious.

Good for him - didn't like the hire. He proved me wrong.

I'll take my crow sous vide and reverse seared.

No small feat in the AHL. Bodes well for our development program

This board is at its best when strong opinions are accompanied with humility & accountability.

 

[Steve Shutt]

I hope we can keep him for next season

its gonna be fire!

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

I have feeling he'll be in Vancouver next season

Could be wrong but I think he will wait for the perfect scenario before returning as HC in the NHL

 

[Tyson]

Much deserved.

They should pay him more, refuse yo let him talk to other teams, and make if up to him if he misses out. They may or may not need him but it’s worth paying an additional nhl hc salary to have an option. How many other francophone options do the habs have?

 

[Steve Shutt]

...refuse yo let him talk to other teams

Ouch - I don't think that approach would bode well and could impact our reputation when hiring in the future

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

They can't keep him from listening to NHL offers if he gets them, obviously. That would be a total dick move. I'm not that sure he'll be getting them, though. You need to have a lot of connections and he might not have that.

Best candidate to take over St.Louis next year

Put a Pascal Vincent avatar. To make him forgive you.

 

[habsterr]

Gorton and Hughes have shown to consistently make the best choice possible. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

Let’s not forget—many of you were against the hiring of Vincent last year. Giving him a chance was the right approach!

I don't think the Blues are looking for a new coach?

 

[Paddyjack]

They sure like bald guys over there

Well, negotiate to keep him, in any case. The habs short list for coaches is really short.

Or they should just bring back the rule where you get a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick as compensation if a team hires your assistant/AHL coach as their HC. There's still a rule like that in the NFL I think
