LOL,

I thought this was a joke thread at first

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Wow

Smart and level headed guy, just like MSL.

I like.

 

[Vachon23]

Good hired ! I wanted someone with experience but Robidas did an amazing job with Magog in the M18 AAA and he was seen as the next great coach in the Q

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

There's already a thread up

 

[Habs13]

Maybe he can row Drouin, Price and Byron off to his island

 

[Tyson]

A major underdog to ever make the NHL and he achieved that with flying colors.
Nice selection. I hope it works out for him and the Habs.

 

[Jee]

Will have to work with the worst group of D I've seen in my lifetime, poor guy

Congratulations to Robidas

 

[bobholly39]

I like this honestly - congrats to him

 

[badfish]

A triumphant return from exile on Robidas Island

 

[habsgirl5000]

LOL, I thought this was a joke thread, who let him off the island?

As much as I have absolutely no concern with Robidas and I’m sure he will be great,

Men do our coaching staff is green.

 

[dinodebino]

This is a very different management group for sure!

 

[Vachon23]

Robidas was director of player development with the Leafs during 5-6 years before though so he does have experience with young pros. And he was now with Sherbrooke in the Q

 

[Beendair Donedat]

This makes us the only team in the league with a coach that has their own island named after him.

 

[ReHabs]

additional benefit, he can be solid tour guide for Carey Price and Brendan Gallagher in time for their visit to the island

Not often you see a coach work their way down so quickly.

 

[Milhouse40]

I'm not 100% on this one.....but it's not like assistant coach is the big brain behind it all.
MSL probably wasn't looking for someone with too much experience, he really wants to do his own thing and I have nothing against it.

 

[CHwest]

Not sure what to think, but I always liked him as a player. I would think he knows hard work and he knows what it takes, so........
