Pascal Vincent is about to complete his first season behind the bench of the Rocket.

And if we talk about his performance, there is only one thing to say: Vincent has been very successful so far since he’s been in Laval.

His team, which has collected 93 points so far with a record of 44-18-5 and has already secured a playoff spot, is ranked first in the American League standings. That’s worth noting.

He’s likely to be a popular candidate this summer among teams looking for a new head coach in the NHL. And at that level, Renaud Lavoie wonders if there’s a world where Pascal Vincent ends up in Philadelphia.

We know the Flyers fired John Tortorella a few weeks ago. Brad Shaw has taken over on an interim basis, but he may not be back as head coach next season.

Vincent’s reputation is at its best right now, as a journalist noted on TVA Sports:

Several coaches support him.

Paul Maurice always speaks well of him. I’m telling you, why not Pascal Vincent? – Renaud Lavoie

Be careful here: this is just speculation.

The TVA Sports journalist didn’t say it because he’s convinced it will happen, but at the same time, a guy like Renaud Lavoie doesn’t often talk for nothing.

There’s no smoke without fire, as they say.

In fact, I think the fit is quite interesting.

The Flyers are in a rebuilding phase and need a coach who can work with young players. Pascal Vincent has proven he can do it, as the Rocket is a young team that relies on several young players.

Beck, Mailloux, Farrell, Davidson, (Florian) Xhekaj, Tuch, Mesar, Kidney… you get the idea.

But what I’m wondering is about Matvei Michkov.

The Flyers need to find a coach who can help him develop. Michkov has all the talent in the world, but it didn’t quite work out with John Tortorella, who has somewhat outdated methods.

Would Pascal Vincent be the ideal candidate to coach Matvei Michkov and the young Flyers, given his more modern mindset? The question arises.

And if the answer is yes, then Pascal Vincent in Philly would make sense.


In Overtime

– Let’s go, Monty!

– Nice photo!

– Stay tuned.

– I love the idea.
