«C’est une insulte pour notre ligue, peste-t-il en analysant l’embauche d’un autre homme de hockey établi aux États-Unis depuis 20 ans. Quel message ça envoie aux autres équipes de la LNH que le meilleur entraîneur pour le Canadien est un gars qui est adjoint entraîneur dans le pee-wee [M13]? Le Canadien, c’est rendu le club optimiste du hockey ou quoi?»
So if you leave Quebec, even if you’re a francophone, you should not be allowed to coach the Canadiens? At least Sean’s father is not too provincial on his outlook on the world. Yikes.So it begins…

«La seule porte d’entrée dans la LNH pour nos Québécois, ce sont les Canadiens de Montréal”
A shorter ruler gets better resolutionThat's one short ruler they're using there.
No it isn't its what fans do. Opinions are always divided on everything hockey.All of this handwringing and kvetching about an INTERIM coach (for now). So silly.
How about you become so good at developing players and coaches that 32 teams are fighting for your services instead of relying on one as pity service.So it begins…

To say that the hire is an "insult" to the Q implies that francophone coaches from that league deserve to get jobs with the Habs simply because they're francophones coaching in the Q. Not because they deserve to be there on any sort of merit, but simply because of their birth certificate.So it begins…

It screams more than that. If it's true that the only doorway into the NHL for a coach from the Q is the Habs then what they're saying is that their coaches aren't really good enough to be in the NHL and have to rely on the charity of the "home team" to hire them in order that they can save face. Then these same media types have the unmitigated gall to complain when the Habs don't win? Well what do you want? A winning team or a jobs program for mediocre francophone coaches? You can't have both.Q management & ownership are scared to look in the mirror - sticking their heads in the sand and imagining the league is on par w other amateur development programs is the easiest thing to do
Tell me that doesn’t scream “privilege”….
Reggie already started..The problem is that unlike during his playing days, MSL doesn't have nearly as much control over being able to prove people wrong. As I've said before, Scotty Bowman on his best day couldn't win with this team and Marty won't win with it either, despite his best efforts.
I'd rather see MSL in some other role with the club and have them hire Montgomery as the permanent replacement behind the bench. Anglo VP, Anglo GM, Anglo head coach. I just want to watch Tremblay and the other jackals lose their minds.
But….Je suis heureux pour Martin St-Louis, un gars de Laval. Un gagnant et une belle personne. Et dans les faits, il n’est pas un novice absolu dans le coaching contrairement à Mario Tremblay.
Mais le préférer à un Guy Boucher ? À un Patrick Roy ? J’ai besoin d’une explication.
They don't have to explain or justify anything to anyone. But the answer is that they clearly believe that Marty has the attributes to develop into a very good coach over the next 2-3 years, until which time the team won't be good anyway. How is this so hard to understand?Reggie already started..

The changing of the guard is underway (on a large scale) in the NHL w an emphasis on educational background + analytical thinking + organized systemic way of doing things vs yelling / screaming / pounding the table of yesteryear, and Sylvain Couturiers / Reggie et al response is an indication the old guard sees the tidal wave coming and know they will be on the outside looking in…
