HF Habs: Joel Bouchard: The BeauCHar Edition

[Treb]

Eh, no need to make it personal. Weise is just giving his opinion and the editor made a bad clip out of it to get clicks.

It's his own show though.

Join NHLer Dale Weise for a new interactive show, where we talk, tweet, comment and video chat to Habs and hockey fans around the world. Habs Tonight is an online community led by NHLer Dale Weise and his team of passionate fans and content creators who love the Montreal Canadiens.

He should look at getting a new editor if they put him in a bad light.

EDIT: He's not really making it look better on twitter when people asked him about it:

Saying he wouldn't want him anywhere close to his prospects means Bouchard, in Weises' opinion, is not qualified for the job he's currently doing. Making such a statement and then refusing to give a reason is weird and coming from a player that was utterly uninspiring in his time with Laval, it creates a suspicion that Weise is just bitter.

It might very well be the case that Bouchards' style is ill-suited for an NHL squad, but the farm team is a different case entirely. Is there a young player in Laval that DIDN'T get better with time?

The thing with Bouchard is that we're only starting to see the results this year. Last year, young players and veterans had their fair share of struggles. So, it's not like it was all roses.

Vets struggled because they were not buying in what Bouchard was doing. I remember at one point they were all injured or called up and Bouchard said it was the best the team played all year to that point. The vets that replaced them were doing good until injuries and Covid.

 

[ItzaGreat]

Bouchard is process first, results second kinda guy.

I can see how that would rub a veteran like Weiser the wrong way.

 

[cphabs]

adverb placement could've been better there

For the simple minded? Yep

 

[Vachon23]

 

[Guess]

For those who have watched lots of Laval games, how similar is Bouchard's system to Ducharme's?

 

[Vachon23]

I was always told that it won’t work with the pro, it’s good with JNR but it won’t work with the pros

 

[DAChampion]

I hope that Bouchard stays in Laval for at least one more year.

Extremely weird take from Weise. Really makes you wonder what he meant by that:

Extremely weird take from Weise. Really makes you wonder what he meant by that:

Pretty bold on Weise's part. Considering Bouchard is highly regarded and no one has spoke out about him.

In the same time it's the opinion of one guy, you can't be like by everyone

It'd be nice if he backed it up

Can I love this guy anymore than I do?

 

[Doc5]

If they let him walk this organization would be more incompetent than I could have imagined

 

[1909]

Bouchard gonna stick around for more times.... He could be the next Habs head coach in a couple of weeks.

 

[Doc5]

Bouchard gonna stick around for more times.... He could be the next Habs head coach in a couple of weeks.

If that happens, I'd be ecstatic

 

[iamtalbot]

What's more likely with bouchards contract finishing:

Him being named head coach or GM?

If Marc lis let go I'd say GM. If Marc is kept and habs eliminated early under ducharme I'd say coach.

Since it's up to molson to decide Marc's fate I'm going with Bouchard as next coach.

.... ah who am I kidding it's the habs si Bouchard will be scooped up as coach by Seattle or pheonix

 

[WinterLion]

Bouchard is great where he is... he is really great with the young pro's... if anything I could see him adding some credentials in the development area.

 

[Habs13]

Bouchard gonna stick around for more times.... He could be the next Habs head coach in a couple of weeks.

...I really hope so

 

[1909]

...I really hope so

I would hate seing him go to Seattle, Arizona or Columbus.

And I hope, if he becomes the next Habs headcoach, that he brings a better d-man coach, too.
