The latter was Brashear’s biggest challenge , as he was quietly aging when Laraque arrived in the NHL.
That’s what he said on Radio X earlier today.
But that’s not what came out most in this 20-minute interview with Dany Houle, Jordan Boivin and Josey Arseneault.
However, he wanted to make it clear that he had absolutely nothing against the person, but simply that he wasn’t cut out to be a coach, least of all in Montreal.
He liked to laugh with the players, but when a serious decision had to be made, he wasn’t the best.
The two didn’t like each other at all at the time, and things got (very) heated in the dressing room.
Great spot, but much better in French because the English version omits the punchline for some reason.

“I got called back from the minors. I get there and at one point, he (Patrick Roy) and another guy got into a fist fight in the room. And when Mario came in, he was getting into it with… What impressed me was that they used to be roommates.” – Donald Brashear
The “other” in question has not been named, but the fact remains that Brashear has seen a lot in his career.
The 52-year-old didn’t elaborate on the reasons behind his choice of the worst coach he’s ever had.
One comment from Brashear that surprised me a little was that he openly said he’s never been one for fighting.
I guess he was, because it helped him achieve his dream of playing in the NHL, and he really wasn’t bad, either.
Let’s just say I didn’t expect him to have always been against fighting in field hockey.
