New: During Dean Evason’s introductory presser Tuesday, two words were said 11 times each.
Passion. Structure.
We discuss that & then talk about what Evason hopes to bring to the team.

If you read the title, you’ll understand that we’re talking about Pascal Vincent.
In fact, even though Waddell was talking about passion and structure for his new head coach, it somehow felt like he was throwing an arrow in Vincent’s direction.
Sure, he’s only been head coach for one season in the NHL, but he’s also got plenty of experience in the AHL and at junior level.
So you have to understand that Vincent didn’t fit in with Waddell’s values. And the way we heard him talk during that press conference, Vincent’s passion and structure would have to be monitored.
Again, we can’t say 100% that Waddell’s comments were aimed at the Rocket’s new head coach, but we’ll have to keep an eye on these two aspects of Vincent’s leadership during his first season in Laval.
As for structure, it will be just as important. His line-up will need to reflect the quality of his players, but he’ll also need to give younger players a chance to shine.
This was one of the things Pascal Vincent was criticized for during his only season at the Blue Jackets’ helm. He didn’t seem to be the best at supporting his younger players.
