That is how thye should decide the next Habs coach.

Load up all the French Canadian guys in a ring, last one standing gets the job.

Likely just as effective.

Just because the Habs coach has to speak french according to an unwritten rule and both Alain Vigneault and Michel Therrien coached the Habs in the past, chances are they’d love to stick it to their former team.

I think at this point it is probably written somewhere, since they've been pretty clear on their philosophy...

Perhaps since the Cunneyworth appointment, first page of the GM handbook says: Whatever the *)%^*%*$^) you do, do not hire a non French speaking coach!!!!!

Hedman officially not returning...

but you could also consider the fact that the habs have been en entry point for a lot of French coaches in the NHL... if there are good coaches that speak French, why not hire them?

The coach needs to do interviews after each game and a large portion of their fans (the ones who pay their $$$'s) are francophones.

Makes business sense .. and maybe less hockey sense.
It is what it is ... Montreal is a very different market than all others.

Hedman officially not returning...

He is fine.

Both teams are scared to face the Habs, so the self-sabotage is in the works.

i guess now we'll see if the 2 francophone headed relics are better than the current franco/anglais incarnation. either way, the french media will orgasm over a philly/mtl matchup. thankfully, the players don't give a sh!t.
