Dominique Ducharme's return is like the return of a star player according to Luke Richardson
On June 19th, after the CH returned from Vegas and played the first two games of the series, the Habs announced that head coach Dominique Ducharme had tested positive for Covid-19.
He had to serve a 14-day quarantine at home according to NHL rules. This quarantine ended Thursday night and Ducharme can rejoin his team since this morning. With the CH trailing 2-0 in their final series against the Lightning, the timing is perfect for a return of the coach. The man who filled in nicely for him during his absence, Luke Richardson, mentioned that this return could have a major impact on what happens next.
said Luke Richardson.
Although this is not a return of a star player, the impact of having Ducharme behind the bench is not small. With his head coaching experience, he will be able to make the right decisions during the game and his dynamic behind the bench and in the room will be beneficial.
Let's also not forget that the CH will be playing in front of their fans, no matter how many, for the first time in this series, something that could once again motivate the club. As Eric Staal also mentioned, playing at home helps.
said Eric Staal.
Let's hope that these two factors, the return of Ducharme and playing at home, will help the CH get back to winning ways because a loss tonight could be catastrophic...
