I know a lot of you have talked about Guy Carbonneau coming in as the coach, but I'm not sure that is going to happen. Joe Nieuwendyk just served as the assistant GM for Team Canada at the World Championships in Switzerland and Dave Tippett was the assistant coach. The two know each other pretty well, and have worked well together. I think that's a sign that Tippett's job is fine for right now. I think he is on a short leash, but so is every NHL coach.

It looks as though T & R just plucked a couple of sentences from the original article without giving us any context. Great editing T & R!

Jacques Martin just hired as the new coach of the Montreal Canadiens...
Comments anyone?

I`m not super happy about the signing of Martin, but at the same time I can see it working. He is old and mature, he`s not going to try to dazzle the media with his brilliance the way Carbo did. He`s there to coach, hopefully an offensive and up-tempo team liek what he had back in Ottawa. Mario Tremblay (who would have ever guessed he`s ever be back after running st-patrick out of town!!!) as an assistant will probably bring a good defensive element to the team.

overall i`m excited to see how the expriement works out. I`m not overjoyed, but I can see the team being alot better than they were this year.

Dave tippett is going anywhere; but I think that Carbo is a good coach, but he needs to stop tinkering with his lines.
