Des hommes de hockey de la LHJMQ déçus par le Canadien
La nomination de Martin St-Louis comme entraîneur-chef par intérim des Canadiens de Montréal laisse un goût amer dans la bouche de plusieurs hommes de hockey de la province. Muets lors l'arrivée de Jeff Gorton et Kent Hughes au septième étage du Centre Bell, certains ne digérèrent pas que la...

What message does it send to the ...gh.
Try harder.
Work harder.
reward merit.
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…

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”….

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…

Groulx and Vincent will likely get their shots at some point.
Roy damaged his reputation in Colorado by walking out on them.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
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…

The Habs owe these people NOTHING. Besides which, they had a coach from the Q up until a couple of days ago and he was garbage. Ducharme isn't doing the Q any favors with the job he did. If anything, his performance makes it tougher for coaches in that league to get promotion.
I'm so done with these editorials that basically say that the reason the Habs need to hire someone isn't because that person is actually any good at their job but merely because they tick a particular box on their cultural/linguistic purity test. You want a job in the NHL with the Habs or any other team? Fucking earn it by not being shit at your chosen career so much.

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.

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.

Reggie already started..

L’agneau sacrifié
Dominique Ducharme a donc été sacrifié. Pour sauver les faces de Geoff Molson, de Carey Price et de Jeff Petry.

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…

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..

“They” fully understand, “they” also understand what this means to each of them - as in loss of career simply because 95% of them will not be able to adapt

Its all good if its combined with understanding your team and making sound common sense decisions based on analytic evaluation
A player like Gally may have nice fancy stats but like GGPX says paying a player late in their 20`s to a dumb contract ends in tears
Information has to be processed properly and you still need old approach school scouts , eyes in buildings , etc....

These guys have not had an original thought in over twenty years. Their suggestions are banal: Guy Boucher. Patrick Roy.
