No big deal, we are seeing teams hiring seasoned coaches as assistant these days. I don’t think it’s a bad idea, the rookie coach ends up being taught by the assistant who, acts more like a mentor as well as helping behind the bench during games.
Go Habs Go!

This is not fair. Gallant took the Vegas Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup Finals in their very first year as a pure expansion team, and almost won the damn thing! This was one of the most incredible coaching accomplishments in North American sports coaching history.
Gallant has won everywhere he’s coached. He has a great record in his first seasons with teams he’s coached. However for whatever reason teams soon get tired of him after 1-2 years & get rid of him. Who knows maybe his temperment makes him a better fit as an NHL assistant coach. By the way i remember when Vegas fired him. It happened after a road game in Carolina while he was waiting for the team bus to show up to pick up the team. After his firing he had to wait outside on a street corner waiting for a taxi to pick him up. I found this move by Vegas to be absolutely classless! They could have waited until the team returned to Vegas!
SHEA WEBER.....c'est sa journée....bien mérité....j'ai l'impression qu'on va le voir bientôt derrière un banc de joueurs dans la NHL.....et pourquoi pas à NASHVILLE / ville qu'l adore et ou il serait accueilli comme un dieu....lol ....ou MONTRÉAL qui l'a
très bien traité.....d'abord comme adjoint à MSL.....et ensuite prendre la relève......il sait certainement dire ''bonjour'' et ''merci''......on lui pardonnerait sûrement son francais.......lolllll

High scoring game in Buffalomp today. Both starting goalies were absolutely brutal & had to be pulled. Let’s face it folks: Cayden Primeau is NOT an NHL goalie. He’s a very good AHL goalie. But he has no business being in the NHL.
MSL finally separated Nick Suzuki from Cole Caufield and this has shown to be a good decision so far. Many called for this move for weeks! If MSL insists on playing Suzuki against the other team’s top line then Cole Caufield has no business being on his line since he’s a tremendous defensive liabilty when he’s on the ice & the line will end up allowing more goals than they score which has already been the case.
Final score: Habs 7 Sabres 5
Suzuki & Caufield each with a pair of goals.

Rassure moi, c’est une blague non? On va mettre un assistant coach qui n’a jamais passé une seconde derrière un banc pour assister un coach qui en est à sa 3ieme année et qui, clairement, en arrache!
Oufffff....dans un buffet ouvert on est parti avec les derniers morceaux...7-5....et n'eut été d'une autre performance atroce de PRIIMEAU ça aurait été a no-contest decision/ victory.....feu d'artifice de SUZUKI 2g/ CAUFIELD 2g / SLAF 3 a....wow...quand
même le fun...lol...MAIS SVP peut-on avoir assister au dernier match de PRIMEAU......enough is enough....SAM en relève a été ok pour assurer la victoire.

Match en après-midi archi plate entre deux équipes médiocres!
En chiffres:
Mtl 23 tirs. 7 buts
Buf. 18 tirs 5 buts
Mises en jeu: Mtl 37.9%. Buf. 62.1
Av. Num. : Mtl 33.3% (2/6) Buf 25%(1/4)
Caufield 2 buts, finit le match à-2!
Guhle 0 points, finit à -3
Primeau: a reçu 14 tirs, en a laissé passer 5!!!
Sur une note plus positive, le Canadiens vient de se débarrasser du piano qu’il traînait sur ses épaules depuis 6 matchs.
Suze, Slaf et Dach, avec 9 points combinés, devraient bénéficier d’un bon boost au niveau de la confiance. Je n’ai vu que la dernière moitié du match mais, Slaf a été très impliqué et physique, un de ses meilleurs matchs je pense. Dach devrait s’en inspirer.
Je ne comprends pas encore pourquoi Hutson n’est toujours pas sur la première unité d’avantage numérique, criss que MSL est têtu!

I think it was when the Florida Panthers fired him. But yes, it was classless.
Oui......après son congédiement de la FLORIDE....MAIS avec VEGAS il avait été très décu.....son équipe se retrouvait en tête de sa division....MAIS venait de subir 4 défaites.....alors bye bye....plutôt cavalier...il avait été invité une semaine auparavant au match des étoiles
.....c'est certain qu'ill aurait encore sa place ici.

Oui, il s'est fait barouetté à quelques endroits malheureusement......en tout cas, Gallant derrière le banc avec St-Louis Hugues dément, mais ce serait une très bonne addition.
Sinon, enfin une victoire, dans un festival offensif. 4 points pour Suzuki, 3 points pour Slaf.
Et Cole a scoré.....2 fois.....meilleur compteur de la LNH en date du 11 novembre, souhaitons que ça continue.

His pace has cooled to 61.5 goals, but that would be good for the team record for goals in one season.
Marty St. Louis can relax his neck muscles tonight.
True. I forgot he left the Habs to coach FLA. Strange he’s already coached three teams in just a small number of years.
Great to know that Nico Hiechier & William Nylander are also on pace to score 60 goals this season. I have both of them in my pool. I also have Ovechkin who’s been on a tear lately & will likely beat Gretzky’s record this season!
Habs vs Wild tonight. The habs haven’t won in Minnesota since March 11, 2011. Maybe it’s a good time to place a bet on a hockey game. The Wild are playing very good hockey this season. Unfortunately Marc-Andre Fleury will not get the start for the Wild. Montembault gets the start for Mtl. I hope never to see Cayden Primeau get another start again for the habs!
Suzuki will centre the top line between Slafkovski & Dach tonight. The plan is to keep Suzuki & Caufield on different lines & only put them together on the powerplay.
By the way Buffalo picked up veteran goalie James Reimer on waivers yesterday. Montreal could have claimed him but chose to pass on him which i think was another mistake by Hughes-Gorton. He would have been a very good backup for Montembault & at least give the habs a chance to compete. Primeau is not an NHL calibre goalie & couldn’t even stop a cab of he wanted to! He belongs in Laval however if he’d be in Laval he’d take starts away from future hab goalie Jakub Dobes, who needs to play a lot. So maybe that’s why Hughes-Gorton would rather sacrifice wins by sticking with Primeau in order to give Dobes busy in Laval. But i still believe Reimer would have been perfect for them right now.

I am surprised he is even still in the league. He shared goaltending duties for the Leafs with Jonathan Bernier from around 2013-2015. Maybe Montreal can pick up Bernier instead?
