08:28 AM ET 05.07 | The thinking of some holds that the NBA's Knicks could try to coax Phil Jackson out of retirement, but could the same be said for a retired NHL coach? Last week, I heard that at least one current NHL executive believes Jacques Lemaire could be persuaded to coach the Canadiens with the right package. At first, I thought he was kidding. But the more I thought about it, the better it sounded. If Geoff Molson hasn't already contacted Lemaire about coaching the Canadiens, he should. Lemaire hasn't been on anyone's list, because everyone assumes that a) he's retired and b) even if he coached again, it wouldn't be in Montreal. But money talks, and when it comes to hiring coaches, there is no salary cap.

Just what the game needs, another all defense, all the time coach. Who doesn't love watching a team get a one goal lead and then play the trap and ice the puck for the rest of the game?

I don't like his style of hockey, but surely there is another French Canadian out there who can coach hockey.

It was, because Montreal had enough trouble scoring 1 goal.

I wonder if the Canadiens will pass over better qualified coaches for one who can speak French? Will the fan base be appeased even if they continue losing?

It doesn't matter if he knows anything about hockey or not. That never seems to be a a primary requirement to coach in Montreal.
