I would be shocked if this happens but anything seems possible this year.

with his defensive style, we actually have a shot if we hunker down in our own end all of the game and wait for a break out.

Oh please let this be true. Not as anything against MacLean. I just wanna see what dastardly head games Lemaire has thought up with all that time off. And hopefully he has a badass evil stache now too so he can twist the ends of it while maniacally chomping his bubblegum of doom.

I won't believe it until someone credible reports it, like TG. If it did turn out to be true I think Langs is as good as gone.
I had the X-files theme pop into my head after reading this comment. lol

I'll take it at this point - at least Jacques is better at press conferences.

he's still on the payroll so technically it wouldn't cost us extra.

The rumor translated from French that I read, said MacLean quit after 33 games, but it was a translation so who knows. Probably all just a rumor, though I would like to see it happen.

If this is true ... I mean come on! The guy "quit" months ago. Get down here and coach your mess, Lou.
