Speculation: If we had the choice between Michel Bergeron or Pierre Pagé for future head coach?

[palindrom]

Just for fun, which one of the two would you choose?

[Whitesnake]

Bergeron. 'Cause from bad to worst, at least it will be entertaining. Might as well lose entertained....

well, its a question of opinion, but personally, i think Pagé was the most entertaining of the two.

Birdie. Pagé has not been connected with the NHL since a long time iirc.

I don't see the fun in watching either of these clowns run this team into the ground.

It surely is a question of opinion....Pagé makes me sleep. Aside from his stupid Sundin rant, Pagé was incredibly dull.

I see it. Top 5 pick in 2013, top 5 pick in 2014, fire the clown, get a better one, become a top team and win the cup. By the way, the game is to choose either one.

yes, i realize my opinion is the minority here.

[Kriss E]

How did you even come about this idea? Both are horrible and will never coach in the NHL ever again.

The idea came while talking with friends and remembering old memories!

Then we entered the "what if" world

True, however Birdie has been commenting and watching mostly the NHL, not Pagé. I'm not sure Pagé would fit in anymore. Well you can't be sure either way. How about this guy:



As I always say, his balance is perfect.

I voted for Bergeron for his enthusiasm, but you made a very good point. Either way I'd rather have somebody else. Pagé reminds me of Jacques Martin.

I would rather take Joe Canale

Feels a little too close to playing "Fear Factor" for my liking. Do I eat Bison balls or an Elk ****.............picking either is just too repulsive.

[MXD]

Voted Bergeron.

When in a position to hire an incompetent and an utter incompetent, hire the latter. Mainly because he'll be fired more quickly.

good point

[Estimated_Prophet]

Can we add a ham sandwich to the poll? I bet it would win in a landslide.

[AllanMTL46]

Voted Bergy, but these two Nordiques ass***** can just stay away and everything's gonna be fine.

[Estimated_Prophet]

I will only agree to one of these tools if the Leafs have to hire Don Cherry as their coach......

Bon point, mxd.

Lot of insults thrown around for 2 guys who've coached in the NHL while the nearest thing you guys will ever get to is coaching pee-wee level kids. They made it to the NHL and they had success at that level period. Personally i like Bergeron coaching style, hes very passionate and he live and die with his best players, you wont see a Darche on the PP with Bergeron coaching, hes also willing to double shift his best players if he needs to, sometime he would cut his bench in half only playing his 2 first line instead of rolling the 4th line trailing 2-1 with 6min left something that we've seen too often in Montreal.

Oh and btw the guy won 2 president cup in 5 years in LHJMQ, and he had only 2 season under .500 in 10 years of coaching in the NHL.

[onice]

Why would the HFBoards member, Montreal, need a coach?

[goalchenyuk]

Bergeron , with Lemaire assistant

[shutehinside]

I would die if either one was ever hired as our coach. Literally. Die.
