Underrated coach IMO. I like how he operates and runs his team.

yeah he does seem like a decent coach, although looking at his track record his teams haven't made the playoffs very often

meanwhile, Pascal Vincent (who gave a chance to Ducharme as his assistant in junior) has been assistant coach in WPG for 5 years, and add 5 more years as head coach for their farm team in the AHL. that's patience for you.

Vincent is as boring as Guy Boucher or Claude Julien coaching wise. No thank you.

maybe some guys would rather acquire experience as an assistant before becoming head coach..?

He hasn’t had any really talented squads until he came to Winnipeg. Leafs were awful when he was there. Hartford was largely a punching bag & Carolina used to roll out Arturs Irbe daily.

He’s done pretty well IMO in the Peg. Even with constant injuries and ever changing defence.

Cool. The last couple years they’ve been ravaged by injuries, byfuglian leaving, rotating guys on the backend to try and patch it together.

They’ll do just fine this season IMO.

Edit: They also had no choice but to roll out I Ondrej Pavelec the first couple years in the Peg. He was worse then current Price

To each their own man haha. Everyone’s got their opinions after all. Think he’ll do just fine with the team he’s got this year. Just wish he’d dump all the games against the Habs.

the captain should be leading by example, not taking dumb penalties

Team overall just looks less frantic and scared on the ice with Allen in the crease. The level of play between the two of them is massive.

that's some pretty intense mourning if Price is still affected to that degree by the loss of his dogs
