bbgarnett Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I was browsing YouTube and this part of the video just reminded me of how much I loved Jacques Lemaire. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxer Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Lemaire tells it like it is. lol Maybe there wasn't much scoring in the Dead Puck era, but there was lots of action and guys had to keep their head up. I'm not sure if this series against Vancouver was before eliminating the Avs, which then led Roy to retire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After so we were down 3-1 to the Avs and won and then again 3-1 to Vancouver and won this series too. Don't want to talk about the Ducks series LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Nobody handled a press conference like Lemaire. He had a gift for stating the obvious: "They had the puck and we were chasing. And more of their shots went in....." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CreaseAndAssist Posted August 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2021 Jacques Lemaire was and still is the best coach this organization ever had. Its not even close. But since someone mentioned how much they loved his post-game pressers, I found this one on YouTube years ago and I've listened to it many times since when I need a laugh or want to think about what we're missing now. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbgarnett Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Agreed best coach we've ever had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Simple answers aside, as a coach he acted primarily as a teacher, of defensive positioning, tactics, time management and puck possession. He also preached what I used to ask youth players, such as "Why do you work so hard to win the puck, if you're only going to turn it over...?"

CreaseAndAssist Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Give me...a break!! Seriously though, his comment about sitting a guy after so many mistakes is exactly how I often feel as HS coach. I'm not sure if parents understand that, but often the mistakes we see at games are the same thing we were talking those kids about at practice, in film, etc. So its either a lack of not caring to make the adjustment or continuing to be ignorant to it. But Jacques Lemaire was great to hear in a presser and he had a good blend of levity but also being incredibly serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
