andy-amazo-hotmail-com Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=417874 He decided to move on from Minnesota. I honestly think that the Habs should pick him up for next season. Who cares if defense is boring, it wins hockey games. Plus, he can speak both English and French.

Bourne Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Good lord no, I want an entertaining fun team, not a bore fest. I watch hockey for the fast pace and excitement, if the Habs become what Minnesota has in the past (they were better at times this season) I will likely be watching much less. I may love the Habs however I love hockey more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy-amazo-hotmail-com Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Well, considering we barely made the playoffs with this "fun to watch" style of hockey, I would rather make the playoffs with a good position playing defense.

Zonave Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 We have been coached as a defensive team most of the season. It doesn't work. With all our good forwards, when they are healthy, we need a coach that can find the balance between releasing the hounds and playing too defensive.

Correction, we were poorly coached as a defensive team. There is nothing Jacques Lemaire doesn't know about defensive hockey. If by some chance he became Habs coach, I would be willing to bet that we'd be a helluva better at playing an effective neutral-zone trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteenIsThaFuture Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 The whole point of watching hockey is to be entertained. From which perspective? From a fan standpoint yes. From a business standpoint, yes. From an operation standpoint no. However all 3 of those things intertwine as fans are entertained by winning as much as business increases due to winning.

I hate Lemaire hockey, and if he became our coach, games would be much more tedious to watch, but the man knows how to build effective defensive teams that win games. Success is never unwelcome.

mtl1010 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Maybe he can come here and focus on our defensive game only, so kind of like the "head of the defensive department" type of thing. So he won't change our system entirly but he'll help our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dintrox12 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Lemaire has coached the wild into the playoffs 3 out of 8 seasons. I don't want lemaire as a coach in montreal. I don't know but that looks a lot like Craig MacTavish's record. and I'm on the record as saying MacT is the worst coach in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandred Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm sure he can't be worse than Carbo protecting a 1-1 tie in the first period. LMAO Honestly though, if you had to choose between Gainey coaching or Lemaire....I mean the answer is obvious. Lemaire has coached the wild into the playoffs 3 out of 8 seasons. I don't want lemaire as a coach in montreal. I don't know but that looks a lot like Craig MacTavish's record. and I'm on the record as saying MacT is the worst coach in the NHL. Yeah but look what he had to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
