The Montreal Canadiens wasted little time adding Derek Lalonde to their coaching staff after the Toronto Maple Leafs announced he would not return. While this may look like a routine assistant coaching change, many around the NHL believe the move could have a meaningful impact on Montreal’s development and defensive structure heading into the new season.
In this video, we examine why the Canadiens moved so quickly, what Lalonde brings from his Stanley Cup-winning experience with the Tampa Bay Lightning and his time as head coach of the Detroit Red Wings, and what this decision could mean for both Montreal and Toronto. We also discuss the potential effect on the Canadiens’ penalty kill, player development, and the growing rivalry between these Original Six franchises.
