There’s a wind of nostalgia blowing via Quebec at this time. The lack of Karl Tremblay is being felt in all places. It will actually be the case on the Bell Centre tonight, when the Golden Knights go to Montreal.
It’s a disgrace the media didn’t get an opportunity to speak to Ducharme about his return. As reported by J-F Chaumont, Golden Knights coverage prevents assistants from giving interviews.
Bruce Cassidy provided Dominique Ducharme a second probability within the NHL by giving him an assistant place alongside him in Vegas.

This isn’t the one workforce with the same coverage, as Guy Boucher, Sheldon Keefe’s assistant coach in Toronto, didn’t talk to Montreal reporters firstly of the season both.
So it exists all through the NHL, nevertheless it’s a disgrace nonetheless.
What in regards to the Habs? We’ve already heard assistants converse to the media through the season, whether or not at press conferences or in one-on-one interviews.
I perceive the necessity for a sure rigidity with regards to assistants. It’s less than them to take the blame for a defeat, for instance. Nonetheless, on particular events like tonight’s recreation, we must always have the ability to speak to Ducharme.

For a very long time, he was blamed, rightly or wrongly, for Cole Caufield’s failure.
