Pascal Leclaire would send Cole Caufield to the stands for a game

The Montreal Canadiens are off to a more or less respectable start to the season, despite the absence of key players such as Juraj Slafkovsky, Patrik Laine and Kaiden Guhle.

It’s hard to do better than that under the circumstances, even if there are a few things to improve on.

One thing’s for sure: Cole Caufield has been on fire since the start of the campaign, scoring seven goals in just eight games.

He’s definitely looking to make up for last year in the goals column, and there’s not much to say about his game, even if he’s not perfect 100% of the time.

On the other hand, former goalkeeper Pascal Leclaire has a very particular opinion of the little forward.

Appearing on La Poche Bleue in a recent episode of Taverne Hockey, Leclaire made an unexpected statement.

Tony Marinaro was talking about certain players who deserve to skip their turn, and the idea of sending guys like Arber Xhekaj or Jayden Struble to Laval doesn’t have much impact in the bedroom.

On the other hand, he said that if a guy like Josh Anderson was demoted, it would get the attention of the guys in the room and send a big message.

Leclaire countered by saying, instead of sending guys to Laval, why don’t they take a walk in the stands?

And that’s when he suggested Cole Caufield…

I’ll let you hear for yourself:

Clicking on the YouTube video above will take you directly to the excerpt in question.

To explain his point of view, the former goalkeeper mentioned that Caufield always scores the same way, and if he doesn’t, you don’t see him in the game.

Maybe Caufield isn’t the best defensively, although he’s far from being a burden there, but he’s scored in almost every game this season.

And that’s what we want from #13: for him to score goals.

It’s a bit of a stretch, if you ask me.

In fact, even Tony couldn’t believe it when Leclaire said that.

Will we get another call from Marinaro to his mother during his morning show on BPM Sports?

She should have the answer.
