JUST IN: Gerard Gallant (FLA), Lindy Ruff (DAL), and Barry Trotz (WAS) are the finalists for the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year.

MT got robbed, yet again.

Coaching is overrated beyond belief.

Just like the GM job is overrated.

Somehow, hiring a 26 yrs Old educated, billiant Man is a mistake, while hiring a former nhler like Bergevin is celebrated.
Newsflash: Bergevin is an idiot.

Hockey is runned by dinosaurs acting like frat boys.

(frank) this mickey mouse league.

The last french coach to get a chance without the Habs is Roy. If he doesn't count because he coached played for the Habs then Boucher.

If Boucher doesn't count because he coached the Habs minor league team then AV, because I'm pretty sure he was AC in Ottawa.

Anyways, the point is other organizations do give french coaches a chance. The difference is, language isn't a prerequisite.

I understand the special circumstances but it's not something that's good for the team.

Always knew we shouldn't have let him go. Such a key part of Vancouver's success.

Vigneault and Julien got their first chance with the Habs, that's the point.
Hartley and Roy got their chance with the Avs, who had a French GM.

This is true outside of hockey as well.

I wanted Yzerman as a GM at the time, but what can you do?
