AK-1 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 finally. Hopefully he can make Jaro and Carey better goaltenders. He looks to have done well with two very good goalies last year in Vokoun and Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyMan86 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 um i do not know much about this guy but does anyone know what goalies he has trained so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull12 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 um i do not know much about this guy but does anyone know what goalies he has trained so far? He was Florida goalie coach last year, the Panthers were top two in save percentage the past couple of years despite the fact they allowed the most shots. This past season Tomas Vokoun was second in the NHL with a .926 save percentage while Craig Anderson was third at .924. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtrax Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 His Florida numbers look good. He has NHL experience. He's already familiar with Martin. No problems here. Good hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull12 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 According to multiple sources, Pierre Groulx has been hired as the new goalie coach for the Montreal Canadiens, replacing Roland Melanson. Groulx who has ties with new head coach Jacques Martin had been with the Florida Panthers organization for the past four seasons. In his first two years with the Panthers, Groulx was the video coach before taking over as the teams goaltending coach in 2007. Although Groulx may not be a household name, the work that he did with the Panthers is impressive. The Panthers were top two in save percentage the past couple of years despite the fact they allowed the most shots. This past season Tomas Vokoun was second in the NHL with a .926 save percentage while Craig Anderson was third at .924. Prior to being hired with the Panthers in 2005, Groulx was the video coach of the Ottawa Senators. In April 2005, Groulx was a member of the coaching staff for Team Canada at the World Hockey Championships in Austria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that one of Martin's areas? He's not going to hire someone to take care of something he is confident in handling himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandred Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Isn't that one of Martin's areas? He's not going to hire someone to take care of something he is confident in handling himself. Martin is a defense-oriented coach. These people don't even know common information like this and they bash Gainey's choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrry Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I think Groulx is a good choice as goalie coach. I still say Bob should have hired Larry Robinson as defense coach. This could be a long year....even longer than last year. I sure hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMan86 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I don't get why people keep saying "they should hire so and so" what if that person doesn't want to do the job!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
