Maurice to coach in KHL

He always was a bit of a "Space Cowboy."

They call him 'night train' over there. For some reason he doesn't care to fly.

Hope he wins over there. Else he might have an ''accident''...

I wonder why Montreal didn't want him as a coach? I would take him over Therrien.

"Better" doesn't mean a whole lot in Habs land these days.

He must be desperate, after what happened last year with the locomotive team getting killed in a plane crash I thought many would think twice about going over there.

They said he'd be coaching. Nobody said anything about flying.

Oh, well I'm so relieved. So it don't matter which plane ya get on. "My names Peggy, I'll be your pilot"

He's a coach with a record hovering around 500 in the regular season and a losing record in the playoffs...what's to figure out?

Russian Planes have a lot to be desired , but when the Pilots are fueled by Vodka the ride could be bumpy ;)

Look what he's had to work with these aren't line ups dotted with HoFers on them. Christ not even in their own homes
