Not bad at all IMO. But I believe that the real deal in terms of french canadian hockey coach was snagged by the Lightning a couple years ago. Benoit Groulx.

What about bringing up a pair of coaches ? Ducharme + Joel Bouchard ? Seeing how Ottawa use both Boucher and Crawford behind their bench, maybe the Rocket could try to train 2 potential head coaches at the same time under the same model.

It's not really oversimplified IMO. The question was why Julien can't work with players like Seguin, Kessel and Chuck. It is because he put VERY much emphasis on the defensive play and can't stand turnovers and taking goals. I'm pretty confident that deep down inside him, Claude Julien prefers to lose 1-0 than to win 6-5.

Yep. It's because Julien's coaching style is "avoid getting scored and lose" as opposed to "score and win".

Fixed that for you.

Sure, I had Mr. Selke (Lindt) to kill those penalties.

I'd rather have Adam Verbeek and his speed, grit and shot. But not his 100+ minor penalties per season.

Every good thing comes to an end. I was at the game with the gf and we lost for the first time ever. 12-1-0-0 is our record for the Habs now and we're 1-0-0 for a GSP fight. What an awful game. Petry was shit.

Eric Staal and Granlund are unreal right now. Respectively 10 and 8 points in their last 3 games.

Jetsniper is on it.

What a shame. No medal for Canadian curling teams. I heard they were both favorite for gold medal. As for USA - Canada women hockey, it's been what, 3 years since USA started winning anything important BUT the Olympics ? They won what they deserved.
