Speculation: April fools Tweet (Vigneault to Habs)

Report: Canadiens considering Alain Vigneault as head coach next season

It’s an April Fool’s joke.

Last line of the above link confirms it:

“Ifyou made it this far, happy April Fools’ Day!”

I had posted it further to hearing it on TSN690 but the morning guys admitted after the fact, that they got fooled.

Back to defense first if this is true. I actually would like Vigneault as an assistant to MSL (if he was open to that).

This is a rumor. Even if true that they talked to him, why would this get leaked? By who?

If this move was made, it's a Bergevin type move with MT

April's fools ? Sorry my guard is up.

I read the article and almost spit out my coffee, then looked at the calendar and felt better.

Would be a total 180 in coaching styles. Vigneault has too many issues at this point and is not exactly known to treat his players well.

Jeff Gorton fired Vigneault in New York, why would he hire him here?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Would instantly kill all little interest I have in watching them already

 

[Cournoyer12]

Yikes would be less popular than Al MacNiel and Al won a Cup!

Real happy that it was all a bad joke.

The No Mo’ Retreads era, continues!!!

Don't feel bad. I was fooled too. I was waiting for someone to create this thread so I could unload on HuGo.

I knew it was a joke after seeing the title. The REAL coach will be Don Cherry

A decade of incompetence does that to us. Expecting and believing the worst.

Jeff Gorton ain’t no fool.
