I don't know who did that list, but, they should stop. They couldn't even spell Berube right.

Agreed, plus no consideration for the Nordiques or Whalers?

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if you added the total number of career wins of Blues’ coaches, if they have the highest total of any franchise: Lynn Patrick, Scotty Bowman, Al Arbour, Emile Francis, Ken Hitchcock, Joel Quennville, Brian Sutter, and Mike Keenan. That’s not even counting guys like Lou Angotti, Red Berenson, Jacques Demers, Jacques Martin, or Terry Crisp (who never coached the Blues).

Woof… Mike yeo made a list somewhere… how does that even count “highest playoff winning percentage” if a team has never been above .500

And what AI/idiot cannot spell Berube.

That was actually a trivia question in a bar that I got in 2018. It's no longer the answer on multiple levels.

In the NHL, the 4 head coaches with the most wins in history, no team has employed more than 2 of them in their history, except one who has had ALL 4, and has NEVER won the Stanley Cup. Which team, which coaches?

The Blues, Scotty Bowman, Al Arbour, Joel Quenneville, Ken Hitchcock.

What a dumb list.

I'm no Bruin fan or historian, but I would think Harry Sinden and/or Gerry Cheevers would be considered before Jim Montgomery.
