Since the opening of the 2021-22 campaign, Dominique Ducharme has had to deal with a lack of elements due to injuries and/or Covid-19. He must also live with the absence of such great leaders as Shea Weber, Carey Price, Joel Edmundson, Corey Perry and Phillip Danault.
Do you really think that with all this lack of ingredients, including a lack of experienced goalies, a coach like Jon Cooper would really do better? With a puzzle that lacks so many pieces, no one could do better than Ducharme in the ranking. It is not his fault, as Félix Séguin said.
"I am convinced that experienced coaches like Jon Cooper, Barry Trotz, Gerard Gallant or Bruce Cassidy could not do better."
Mr. Séguin, I'm sorry to stop you here. But remember that word: commitment. To me, when a team plays that low, it's a sign that there's something wrong between some of the players and the coach. For me, the problem is there. With Cooper or Rod Brind'Amour, the record might not be better, but the commitment would be there, I remain convinced!
