Tensions between Jeff Petry and Dominique Ducharme: former Canadiens coach makes surprising statement
As we all know, Jeff Petry's last few weeks with the Canadiens have been very difficult, if not the last few months, since the defenseman had been asking for a trade for some time.
In fact, Dominique Ducharme was the coach when Petry began to show he was unhappy, even throwing Ducharme under the bus.
I listen to Jeff Petry and clearly he and Dominique Ducharme are not to be invited to the same party.- Marc-André Perreault (@MA_PerreaultTVA) February 11, 2022

"It's frustrating, it's always the same thing. We don't play as a team. It's like we're looking for where our teammates are. It feels like there's no structure on the ice."- J-F Chaumont (@JFChaumontJDM) December 15, 2021
Since his dismissal by the new CH administration, Ducharme has had a rough time of it too, but he's now back in the NHL with the Golden Knights, where he'll be assisting Bruce Cassidy.
Clearly, Ducharme is a class act. He was invited to comment on Petry's return to the Canadiens, and his words are those of a man who deserves respect.
"With his family far away, it wasn't easy for him. He's a good family man who's very close to his family.
So, for him, to have them away like that, it was definitely a big challenge. It affected him both personally and on the ice.
I wish him the best because he's a good guy and he's someone who can help a team."

Ducharme certainly wasn't going to belittle Petry in front of the cameras, but adding that he's a "good guy" and showing so much compassion for the difficult situation he was going through, shows just how great of a man he is.
