Derek Lalonde is still laughing about the ranking that placed his looks near the top among NHL coaches.
There's a lot for Lalonde to do in his role as first-year head coach of the Detroit Red Wings, and it's nice to have something lighthearted to break up the workload. Lalonde finished his Wednesday morning news conference by referencing Tuesday's release that had him ranked third in a unique approach to evaluating NHL head coaches.
"Being third on a scientific, analytic study of being the third-most handsome coach in the NHL, it hopefully will help," Lalonde said, smiling.
