Go Habs Go!

[Doc Holliday]

Last time I checked Luke Richardson’s team sat last place in the standing and Dominic Ducharme was eating hotdogs, we can go back to Randy Cunneyworth if you want to but the reality is that Martin St-Louis is the Head Coach and your opinion about French coaches being not as good is ridiculous.

I may have exaggerated a bit. And there are always exceptions like everything else. Jacques Lemaire, Pat Burns, Michel Bergeron, Jacques Demers & Claude Julien were very good & repected coaches. Julien may even coach again in the league in the near future. Who knows maybe with my Senators. I also consider Alain Vigneault to be a good, very respected coach. I’m not sure about Jacques Martin, Pierre Page, Orval Tessier, Armand ‘Bep’ Guidolin, Guy Boucher & Michel Therrien. Guy Carbonneau was on his way to becoming a good coach i think but Kovalev & the other Russians got him fired & his coaching career came to a premature end. I put Mario Tremblay in the same category as Dom Ducharme, Piton Ruel, Jean Perron, Boom-Boom Geoffrion & Rocket Richard. But i firmly believe that the organization’s insistence that the head coach speak french is for the dinosaurs & has no place in 2023. They are losing way too many potentially great coaching candidates with this silly requirement. And coaches coming back for a second coaching tour doesn’t make the organization reflect positively. And the reason for this to happen is the french thing. Thank god the great Scotty Bowman spoke fluent french!

Hehehe, j’ai eu besoin de google pour replacer Orval Tessier et Armand Guidolin, ça faisait un petit bout de temps que j’avais pas pensé à eux.
Aussi énorme respect à Pat Burns, ‘’dans mon livre à moé’’ un des meilleurs coach de l’histoire.

Les Canucks de Gabby Boudreau vont gagner en prolongation ce soir a moins que je me trompe!

Je viens de voir que le CH a perdu 7-6 en prolongation. Quatre buts des Canucks en troisieme! Le CH menait 4-0 et j’ai ete me coucher. Quelle remontee! Incroyable! Je m’ai pas trompe en passant.

N.B. Le psychologue sportif Martin St.Louis dit apres la rencontre: “Moi j’ai vu bien plus de positif que de negatif.” LOL

 

[gaby]

WOW....DOC right on....avait vu juste...a crazy game.....les CANUCKS ont de brillants jeunes joueurs qui ont étourdi les HABS.....anyway un match excitant jusqu'à la dernière seconde.

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

À 4-2 j'ai abandonné, je sentais que ça allait déraper sérieusement. Mais MSL, lui, a trouver plusieurs points positifs! Lmao.

Hutson fait déjà des ravages dans la NCAA à sa première saison avec Boston University, 17pts en 14 matchs.
D'après moi Hutson, repêché 62ème overall, est le steal du draft 2022. J'ai hâte de le voir dans 1-2 ans avec Suzuki/Caufield sur le power-play, la puck va se promener en esti!

Mes sources m‘ont informes qu’il est en realite 5’7 et pese a peine 140 lbs. Mais bon!

Ce matin j’ecoutait un entretien entre JC Lajoie et Robert Hartley sur BPM Sports et supposement on commence a surnommer Slafkovski “KK 2.0”. Le fait qu’il ne progresse pas m’inquiete mais pas autant que je commence a craindre pour sa sante mentale car il commence a faire une habitude de se faire plaquer severement 1 partie sur 5. Toutes les fois il s’est fait sonner et a du subir le protocol des commotions cerebrales mais jusqu’a date tout semble correcte. Cependant Slaf va devoir commencer a patiner la tete en l’air et arreter d’admirer ses passes.

Personnellement je crois que Slaf beneficerait de passer quelques semaines a Laval a jouer avec le Rocket et apprendre a jouer le style nord americain du hockey. Sans ca le pauvre gars va finir par se faire decapiter!

Rien de mal avec ça, dans le jargon c'est un petit spinner.

Dire qu'il ne progresse pas est totalement absurde. Le gars est de plus en plus dangeureux en zone adverse, il est très difficile de lui soutirer la rondelle, et toutes les équipes l'ont à l'oeil. Pour ce qui est de se protéger, il va devoir apprendre, ça ne m'inquiète pas encore, avec son physique, c'est lui qui va finir par effrayer les autres. N'oublie pas, il a 18 ans, il va grossir et prendre du muscle.

Prediction:
Win for the Kraken tonight in regulation. It’ll be another tough night for our Habs.

You know this season you can make that same prediction and be right 50% of the games with the habs. It was very clear from the start of the season that it will be one of a few years of reconstruction.

The Habs won without even getting 17 shots on net & I’m extremely happy! Go Habs Go!!

Very bad game from Martin Jones as opposed to Jake Allen.

Ouin....ça devait avec ses patins et son uniforme.....lolll.

 

[gaby]

Honnêtement --- comme la plupart--je n'y croyais pas et avec l'absence de gros morceaux je craignais une longue soirée vs une équipe surprenante qui remplit le net...MAIS non....surprise....ont encore trouvé le moyen de rebondir... ont du caractère nos boys....
dans mon petit livre c'était un must win.....et ils ont livré......peuvent rentrer à la maison la tête haute.

 

[gaby]

..et reviennent avec une récolte de 5 pts sur 8....quand même pas pire... .....peu leur avait prédit un tel résultat....CHAPEAU les boys.....et on continue ça à la maison.

I know its a different sport guys.But i know that Ferrari is to car racing what the canadiens are to hockey.I don t believe Enzo Ferrari said to himself in order for my pilots to be able to communicate with me and the italian people and the italian press they must speak italian.No he went out and got the best pilots.One of them who came from our region of Quebec.Who btw learned to speak italian later on in his career.30 years without winning a stanley cup time to wake up and start thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX.

This is a good analogy. I’ll give you an ever better one: the Montreal Expos. From Gene Mauch to Dick Williams to Buck Rogers, Felipe Alou (I’m omitting Karl Kuehl, Charlie Fox & Tom Runnels) and Frank Robinson they always hired who they felt was the best manager available. Not once did we ever hear the french media or local fans complain about the manager not being able to address the media in french. Not once did we hear anyone suggest that Claude Raymond or JP Roy should be the Expos manager because they spoke french. I feel for the die-hard habs fan who never gets to see the most available most qualified coach get hired because of that stupid policy the team has which i feel discriminates against english-speaking or european coaches.
