i would absolutely not arbitrarily split it 50-50 right now. start Allen tomorrow. if he performs, start him again Saturday. go from there. we've seen this with Price before. when he gets his head stuck up his ass like this it can last for weeks where he's just giving up 4-5 goals every night.

why wouldn't he just push out a step or so if he wanted to get all jonathan quick on that last shot? so tiny. so low.

When is the last time they gave the head coach gig to a guy with zero experience as an NHL head coach ?

Look at Bruce Cassidy and John Cooper, I'd rather a Ducharme then a Deboer

well, he only interim

I still hope for a Chinese speaking one

Ducharme will break the curse.

I also think he'll do very well, and eventually be confirmed as headcoach

the vast majority of coaches in EU soccer leagues speak the national language

Correction, the vast majority can speak English. Zidane spoke pretty much no Spanish when initally hired way back. But has learned the last while since he now just lives in Madrid. Trappatoni, Pochettino? Both known to use translators.

If you cant understand how important French is to Quebec, please kindly STFU.

I am? Pretty sure I pointed out we all accept it would be a french coach to the point discussion of English coaches is an exercise is futility. But nice try at a strawman because you have a poop argument about forcing the draft of french guys in later rounds

Scotty Bowman was French?

Don't care if I upset your delicate sensibility. So I'll pass thanks.

that's not a correction. whether they speak English or not is not the point. the point is that 95%+ of them speak the local language. most coaches in Ligue 1 speak French. most coaches in Serie A speak Italian.... etc.

That and they are high profile superstar coaches. Unless were getting Barry Trotz the rest of the lot of recycled anglo coaches witj 18 lives is not very appealing

Babcock went to McGill, he's practically a local boy. Maybe you guys should look into him.

Wow I picked a bad day to sleep in. I guess Bergevin isn t the complete fool we took him for. Whether he has the balls to hire Gallant is another story, but I am quite happy to try a young coach in Ducharme.
