On parle aussi qu'on a un DG de la trèèèèès vieille école, et qui dit publiquement que ce qu'il adore de ses coachs, c'est qu'ils punissent ses jeunes immédiatement quand ils font des erreurs.
Et là, on a Gallant à Vegas:
“It’s a game of mistakes,” Gallant explained. “You’re not going to be perfect every time you’re on the ice, and then when mistakes happen, you forget about them and you move on. You can go over that game (Game Three of the Conference finals) and there’s not one player on the ice who didn’t make mistakes last night. Like I said, they’ll own up to their mistakes but they don’t have to. That’s part of our game. You make mistakes, you move on, you play the next shift and you hope you make some good plays. Those guys are accountable guys and they work hard and they don’t got to apologize to me. They just go to go out and play their game and get better every shift they can do.”
The reporter then asked a follow-up question: “It’s obviously a big part of your success, though. Like, is accountability a big part of your success?”
Gallant shrugged. “I guess it is to a point. But, again, I’m not holding my players accountable for making mistakes. You got out there and if you worry about making mistakes, you’re not going to play a good game. I want you going out there and thinking you’re gonna make the good plays and do the right things on the ice. So don’t worry about your mistakes.”
Vivre avec les erreurs, les laisser jouer et marquer des buts. Pas pour rien qu'ils sont en pleines confiances.
