I would love it if it happened...

For a moment I forgot who the Habs coach was and thought you meant Randy Carlyle...now THAT I'd love to see.

Aside from Habs fans, is there anybody that is not rooting for him to crash and burn in a coaching position?

I mean, his junior coaching career has gone so well without any negative news...can't go wrong, right?! *sticks stanley cup rings in ears and pretends everything is okay*


It'll burn. How often do big time players make it as big time coaches? Rarely...because they're completely different jobs.

Was Jacques Lemaire the best player turned coach?

Probably...I'd need to look a little more, especially back pre-80's, to see if there were any big names then. But to my knowledge, I'd say yes.

Even though it wasn't for very long, I'd vote for Larry Robinson...

How ironic would it be if he gets the job and somebody walks off of his bench and says "i have played my last game for the Canadiens orginazation"?


/Yes i hate Roy...

id go Lemaire ... HOF player / would be HOF coach

the Backstrom stat from last night was crazy ... 40 something games over .500 as goalie of Lemaire Wild coached teams ... 2 games over .500 as goalie of non Lemaire coached Wild teams

Do they do double inductions? Like if Stevie Y turns the Tampa Bay Lightning into a dynasty could he go in as a builder as well?

I'd go with Eddie O, personally.

i dont think so ... my point was ... if he didnt get in as a player, he would have got in as a coach

How about Denis Savard?!? Is four games into a season a record for earliest dismissal of a head coach?

 

[higgyfan4]

I think you're trying to infer something by posting that pic, but what I'm not quite sure.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

comeds, what image would best represent a tandem of Pierre Mcguire as GM, Alain Vigneault as coach ? lol

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Mike Milbury as GM.

Best player, turned coach, turned analyst because he was crappy coach? Maybe...maaayyyyybbeee.
