Dintrox12 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think this should probably be a hot stove thread. Hopefully, BG learns from the Carbo thing and hires a coach with NHL experience. 1) Quinn would be a good coach. Quinn has his own ideas (clashes with others), is getting on there in years, and may have his eye on the GM position. He deals well with the media He has never won a Stanley Cup despite an impressive win %. 2) Hartsburg works well with young players.. Did BG takeover after hartsburg in Minnesota??? That would be quirky. I think Hartsburg has great credentials as far as Junior Hockey. But losing a job in Ottawa in less than a year???? 3) Marc Crawford -- His last stint as a head coach in LA did not go well. He did well as the Canucks head coach ( I think he is the longest serving coach of that franchise?) and won the cup with the Avs. He is fairly young and has over 400 wins as a head coach. Next to a healthy Pat Burns I think this is my choice. dark horses: Ted Nolan, Dave King, Tom Renney, ... Don Lever -- has had a great deal of success developing players in the AHL. ??? I think i would keep Lever in Hamilton and try and hire a coach with NHL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodbath Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would like Don Lever, he's very good at developing the young players. He already knows most of the Canadien,s players. He win a Calder Cup with the Bulldogs and some of our future star.The players respect him. A lot of experience in the NHL has a assistant. Over 1000 games as a player. Second Choice : Bob hartley Third Choice : Michel Therrien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurestar3 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I want 1) Pat Burns +won cup in new jersey. would improve defense experience. -poor health hasn't coached in a while system may not suit our team although we may have a different team next year 2) Don Lever +won calder cup knows most our players. Bob trusts him -no nhl experience and we all know how that worked out last time weakens our very strong farm system Please add to the lists if you can in bob we trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLightRonan Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone with NHL experience, please. Oh, in addition to the aforementioned - is Denis Savard available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtrax Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Tom Renney is an intriguing choice. He's got an excellent technical mind from all accounts, understands Xs and Os and knows how to run an efficient bench during all game situations. The knock on him is that he is fairly mild-mannered and may not have the chutzpah to crack the whip when needed. Pat Quinn would be an excellent candidate. Lever will no doubt be in the mix. Anyone who's worked behind the bench with Scotty Bowman rates a little higher in my estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizen_mtl Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would really like to see Bob Hartley. Great stanlley cup winning coach, respected and also speaks french. Just perfect for Montréal...besides, he already lives in Montréal and is well known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's seen it all at the NHL level, for sure. I think that qualifies him.

GreekHockeyCoach Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone with NHL experience, please. Oh, in addition to the aforementioned - is Denis Savard available?

GreekHockeyCoach Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I added a poll with the names suggested so far in this thread. Should be interesting to see who the fans vote for. If you'd like to see more names added to the poll, please post them here and I'd add them. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs-24 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 My choice would be Pat Quinn but that would be too logical of a choice for Bob but what about a guy like Pete Laviolette? a stanley cup champion coach who is well suited for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pat was healthy, he would be my first choice. I think he would easily win the poll. Best wishes to Pat. That's the reason I didn't initially add him, because he's not healthy and I want the poll to be realistic. However, since you requested it, it's done. My choice would be Pat Quinn but that would be too logical of a choice for Bob but what about a guy like Pete Laviolette? a stanley cup champion coach who is well suited for the playoffs Added as well.
