Passionate hockey players rarely become coaches or stay in the coaching profession very long because as i mentioned previously they don’t take criticism well & absolutely despise losing & can’t tolerate players whom they feel don’t always put in a 100% effort. It just eats them up & drives them nuts!
Indeed he’s likely doing well financially if he invested wisely but the kind of money he makes as an NHL coach doesn’t come around every day & must be hard to look away from. Isn’t his wife financially well off also?
The problem with his coaching & i have no doubt he’s quite aware of & likely really bugs him is that the team hasn’t really improved much since he’s been there & observers have been surprised that his coaching skills & coaching instincts haven’t improved that much over the past three years. One big reason for this which a former NHL coach & a couple of experts pointed out is that he seems unable to admit his mistakes & improve on them. Another mentioned that he seems unwilling to seek help or other opinions & seems to believe he’s the only one who knows what works & what doesn’t. He’s not as open-minded as some would hope he was. I think even Kent Hughes mentioned in a recent interview that one thing he wished was that his coach delegated more to his assistants. Coaching in a huge hockey market when you’re constantly under a microscope must be extremely difficult & there aren’t that many coaches who are able to enjoy this & handle it with ease. Hughes & Gorton didn’t make things easy by appointing a person who had never been an NHL coach before & his only coaching experience was coaching his youngest son’s peewee hockey team. It could work in some non-hockey markets but in a huge hockey-mad market like Montreal? Near impossible to me!
C’est la rumeur. Peut-etre qu’il est devenu une distraction que l’organisation n’aime pas et qu’on prefererait l’echanger si son retour serait raisonable. J’ai aussi appris qu’il y a possibilite qu’on echangerait Joshua Roy pour obtenir quelque chose de valeur ou d’interesser une autre equipe a prendre un mauvais contrat non-productif dans l’echange.
Washington joue du excellent hockey et savent qu’ils doivent jouer physique pour vaincre le CH. Caulfield compte des buts mais sa ligne en donne autant car la paresse regne et le back-checking non existant. Pour tous les buts que Caulfield marque son +/- est presque toujours neutre ou dans les moins. C’est pas necessairement bon ca!
Caulfield, 10th goal in 11 games. His pace is 74.5 goals- well ahead of Guy Lafluer and Steve Shutt's club record of 60.
