Georges St-Pierre thinks he could be a good moral support for the Canadiens

The Canadiens still haven’t replaced Alexandre Burrows.

Last summer, he stepped down as assistant coach. Could Georges St-Pierre be a good replacement?

The HFTV gang asked him on the heels of the UFC event at the Bell Centre, and here’s his answer:

GSP says he couldn’t be an assistant coach due to his limited hockey skills.

However, he could be an excellent motivator and moral support. We know the veteran and he has great advice for people.

Well, his English may not be the best, but it’s improving.

Here he is, in partnership with Sportsnet, to set the table for Game 3 of the Oilers-Golden Knights series.

If he can’t coach hockey, maybe he can coach fighting…

The two Georges (St-Pierre and Laraque) would make a hell of a duo, and frankly, agitators like Tom Wilson would think twice before picking on Canadiens players.

– What do we think?

NHL rule change idea: for a team still on power play to open a period, faceoff in offensive zone instead of center ice?
