Having Dominique Ducharme behind the bench for game 3 is the equivalent of having a star player come back from the injured list. He is a smart head coach who has done very well with this team so having a fresh approach in this series will be a big plus for us.
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.
Coming home will be huge. We love playing in Montreal, we love playing at the Bell Centre. The strange thing is that there will be more fans outside the building than inside. We're still going to know that they're there, they're supporting us and they're as excited as we are to be in the finals
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...
