His Penguins were terrible puck possession clubs. They survived on PP and goaltending, just like the Habs. In fact his 2007-2008 Pens were almost a carbon copy of the Carbonneau Habs of the same year.

I thought this needed to be said.

Why is it always the people from Martinique with these wacky notions.

Me too, by the sounds of his answers, he hasn't changed his approach. He's going to alienate himself here and think he can scream and yell his way to success.

Not happy atm.

As far as my recollection goes, Vignault, who we have pretty good evidence of being a good coach had similar to worse squads that were better and not enitrely dependant on otherworldly goaltending to compensate for 40 shots against nights.

BTW, where's that original article that said Patrick Roy was definitely going to be Habs coach and they would announce it after the Memorial Cup or whatever. I'd like to know who wrote it so I can ignore everything they say hereafter.

Hitch has folded in the playoffs since winning and he's had some decent teams. Not sure what your point is.

Language wasn't an issue when I became a Habs fan 52 years ago.

I wasn't an issue because half the team were Quebec born players.
