Of course I'm referring to Jacques Lemaire, the head coach of the Minnesota Wild. I'm sitting at home watching them tonight against Colorado and while they're on about a stretch of six consecutive minutes of powerplay time in the second period with the score tied at one, I'm thinking to myself that this team simply hasn't changed one bit.
They're going absolutely nowhere---again!!!!
With that thought, I think Lemaire has been in Minnesota way too long and there's a very strong possibility that his locker room chatter may have gone totally stale amongst the players. The Wild, apart from their roster changes over the years, seem to employ the same boring on-ice strategy as they did eight seasons ago when Lemaire became the club's head coach.
I'll make a prediction that if the Minnesota Wild fail to qualify for this year's postseason, JM will receive his 'pink' slip from his former Canadien teammate in Montreal soon after the dust has settled.
It's simply part of the everyday business.
