News Article: Patrice Brisebois leaves the Habs

[Halifaxhab*]

Interesting. Considering that Bennett has yet to play his first pro game, I wonder what they really discussed.

Asked him how he dealt with constantly being beat to the outside all the time.

 

[S Bah]

I'd love Hal Gill in this role.

Hal Gill?

Hal Gill would be an excellent ex-Hab to work with the development of our defence prospects IMHO. Larry Robinson would be an excellent Asst.Coach for defence with the Habs, if his San Jose contract is over.

Probably things to portray in his behavior, personality, demeanor, and general questions about his play.

Bergevin talked about Brisebois at the draft when discussing Scherbak.

 

[Goldthorpe]

I don't remember where I read it, I think it was in an interview earlier this year, but I remember Brisebois mentioning finding the incessant travel schedule difficult for him and his family - I wouldn't be surprised it's one of the reason why he's quitting. Travelling everywhere in arenas all the time can grow tiresome quickly. Hope the best for him and his family.

DD is next.. the time will come when your kingdom of darkness will be no more.

NO MORE.

 

[QuebecPride]

Making way for Frankie Bouillon

That would actually be pretty good.

NO MORE.

Damn it. I hope we don't let Gallagher and Price go too.

DD's going to be around for along time, my friend.

 

[TRG]

Poor guy, can't get a break there's not a Brisebois thread without all the classic jokes.

 

[Mr Jackpot]

Anyone knows what Claude Lemieux is up to these days? I'd like to see him in the Habs organisation one day.

 

[No More Subban]

Why Patrice Why

Poor guy, can't get a break there's not a Brisebois thread without all the classic jokes.

And classless ones.

Yeah, that might be it. I don't know exactly how much he traveled, but he was out here in Vancouver a few months ago. I know he had his eye on Thrower during the trip.

Maybe he got tired of these types of time zone jumping trips. I would relate to that.

 

[Alexdaman]

Patrice was a little scary... in a bad way


Oh well, I guess he figured he should of been given the chance to do more and the habs werent granting him the option.

 

[MasterDecoy]

ok.... why?

 

[MXD]

Frankie would do great in that role.

"Walk in on something you weren't supposed to see in the locker room and you'll get a $4.5 million contract to keep quiet"

 

[Scintillating10]

I always wondered why job was given to him in first place

that does explain alot.

That's an easy one. Whatever you may think of Brisebois' performance on the ice he conducted himself for the most part with class and professionalism. Few players, if any, have more experience dealing with the best, and more importantly, the worst, of being a professional athlete, ESPECIALLY in Montreal. Couple that with an easy-going personality and an obvious desire to help out kids and the question becomes why wouldn't he get the job?

People always equate being a great player with being a great coach when that is almost never the case.

Hamrlik

 

[Power Man]

When did he come back ?

 

[CaptainBenn]

Mathieu Darche could replace him

 

[madhi19]

Just after the development camp end! I have a feeling the big brass had a good look at the prospects progression and did not like it.

yeah... like all the players that were coached by Brisebois started getting booed and heckled on ice all the time for no reason ! !

Seems the Brreezer Booh-Flu is catching on.

 

[Simarino]

Can he take JJ with him?

I Wonder if MT,DD, Bouillon and JJ would all be replace by anglophone who would be the spacegoat on hf boards tho!!??
