MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Wild coach Jacques Lemaire says
he'll return for an eighth season with the franchise.
Lemaire announced his decision in a news release Saturday.
Lemaire has a career record of 500-381-168 over 14 years,
including 60-52 in the playoffs. But with the Wild, he's gone just
11-18 in the postseason. The Wild were ousted in the first round
last month by the Colorado Avalanche, culminating what Lemaire
called his "toughest season as a coach."
Lemaire says Saturday that after last season, he wanted to make
sure his boss was happy with his work and with the way he managed
the team. Lemaire says he is reassured of his work, and he wants to
coach again.
