A New Face behind the Bench: Coach K

 

Defence and powerplay coach Doug Jarvis is currently with his family (and seemed to have brought the powerplay strategies home with him), leaving a spot behind the bench.

 

Saturday morning, on a suggestion from the-only-one-who-can-be-satisfied-goalie coach Rolland Melanson, Guy Carbonneau told injured defenceman Mike Komisarek to bring a tie. Not to strangle the referees on every bad call, but to assist the coaching staff in whatever they seem to be doing!

 

Another possibility can be also that coach Carbo figured that once at the ice level, seeing the big player standing there could add to the physical side of the game!

 

Still falling shy of 199 games behind Guy Carbonneau, “Coach K” has been enjoying cheering and motivating his team.

A New Man on the Power Play?

 

The Hamilton Bulldogs played at the Bell Center last Sunday, closely watched by the big club master minds, Bob Gainey and Guy Carbonneau.

 

Young defenceman Yannick Weber didn’t disappoint, netting two powerplay goals. Weber has been spotted to be the next Mark Streit in his own way.

 

Mmh...

 

Any thoughts?

Montreal No. 74, One Game from the Stands for Under-performing

 

Sergei Kostitsyn will be watching the game against the Atlanta Trashers from the stands.

 

His three penalties (with two of them completely unnecessary) last Saturday were visions of horror for the head coach.

 

The team’s strategist judged appropriate to ground the kid, and to make it clear that slashing the other kids around on the playground, because they don’t want to give him their toys, is not the way to go.

 

Alex Tanguay and Georges Laraque are back in the lineup, forcing Guillaume Latendresse to leave his spot as well.
