Why remove the old thread… Anyways not a fan of the coach that mishandled Jiricek and Johnson

Good choice, MSL was praising the CBJ playstyle earlier last season, specifically the D usage

Good luck to him, I think he can get a fresh start in our org the time a NHL job comes up.

Former QMJHL and AHL coach of the year. He was dealt an impossible hand with no real off season and terrible roster in Columbus, but I think he can do great back at the AHL level, especially since a lot of the kids bedded in last year under Houle

Huge hire. Legitimately someone in our backpocket that could take over in a few years

Personnellement, je ne suis pas convaincu que Vincent est un bon coach pour développé des jeunes. Son portfolio avec le Moose du Manitoba est ordinaire. Je vais laisser la chance au coureur car j’ai extrêmement confiance en HuGo.

Je l’aurais préféré comme coach associé à MSL
Mais vu son résumé dans la LAH, il fittera parfaitement à Laval, bon pick
Dommage pour Vincent par contre, le gars s’est fait sérieusement blueball par les Blue Jackets

I get that CBJ was a dumpster fire last season and Vincent should definitely take responsibility for his role in that, but this is a guy who won QMJHL GM of the year (06/07), QMJHL coach of the year (07/08), AHL most outstanding coach (17/18), and has spent five years as a head coach in the AHL and five years as an assistant coach in the NHL with Winnipeg.
He definitely has tons of experience and accolades to back it up. Admittedly, I didn’t know much about him before this hire but I won’t let one bad season with CBJ dictate how I feel about it. As it is now I’m cautiously optimistic. Welcome to the team my guy.

CBJ shenanigans aside, I’m excited about this hire.

Jets fans loved this guy when he was their AHL coach. His Columbus stint was a bit of a disaster but i’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Terrible, il est overraté..

Does he come with a Laine? /s 😀

I guess this fucks up any chance of getting Kent Johnson.

Good hire

You have to scroll to the bottom of this thread to find people who aren’t happy with this signing. I don’t know why they’re all getting downvoted to hell. PV is known to be a hard nosed “Old School” Tortorella type coach and I also don’t think he’s the best hire for our valuable young players who need a teaching coach and not a disciplinarian.

Pas impressioné, le systeme de jeu défensif de Columbus l’année derniere était encore pire que celui de Montreal, Les D avaient l’air toujours perdu

I think this is an excellent hire. The majority here like it but some don’t.
As long as the Laval Rocket will fit well into Vincent’s coaching, it will give results.
