It was a day of assessment for the Canadian on this beautiful Friday in Brossard, and the club’s management, gentlemen Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, delivered a message of hope to the fans: the Canadian would have several similarities with the New York Rangers. .
A realistic message? With our guests, this statement is far from being unanimous…
Would the Canadian of this season have been so worse even if everyone had been healthy? Richard Labbé thinks so, Stéphane Waite thinks no! At the end of this first full season at the helm, what rating can we give to Martin St-Louis? And there will be new faces in September, departures too… including, it is predicted, that of Jonathan Drouin.
Finally, we praise the career of Jonathan Toews and we still wonder why the Pittsburgh Penguins have even thought of hiring Ron Hextall…

At the Canadian, we will be active in order to improve more quickly than we think. Everyone is perfectly aware that it can’t be too long.
Richard Labbe
We are already better than we think, I keep the same speech as at the start of the season, this team is less worse than we think.
Stephane Waite
He is a sponge, he learns quickly. When he makes a mistake, he quickly turns around. He brings up some interesting concepts. You see that he is someone who reads a lot, who listens to management videos, and it shows. He thinks a lot about what a coach should be. Where there is room for improvement, it’s been five times in two years that the Canadian has had mega-lethargy.
Alexander Pratt
This morning Richard, you said that even with the injuries, the Canadiens couldn’t have done better. The accused first, I’ll let you explain. I so disagree with you.
Jeremie Rainville
We had a little mirage at the start of the season. Everyone was playing better than expected. I hear, ah! if Sean Monahan had played all year. Wait a minute, Monahan wouldn’t have done that for 82 games. At some point, the natural would have come back at a gallop. The Canadian would not have finished 28ebut what, 22e ?
Richard Labbe
Totally disagree!
