Greek philosopher quotes and hockey... seasons gotta be done right?

Why would Boston want to get rid of Julien if he was such an elite coach? I don't think it's a coincidence that they're lighting it up with Cassidy behind the bench with virtually a similar roster. This whole "french coach" BS needs to stop; why can't the coach have siri translating the whole time during the English portion of press conferences?

Heres to hoping that he turns it around so his player value rises; because if Bergevin were to send him out of town, his price would be at an all time low. The off-season makes more sense if a trade were to occur. Taking responsibility for everything that is going wrong is not necessarily a good thing, especially to the wolves of media in Montreal; secondly I don't think his personality fits the mold of captain characteristics. It was a mistake nominating him captain, he already had high expectations to be a consistent 30+ goal scorer, the added responsibility likely plays a factor in the regression of his production.

When are people going to start saying that Bergevin should have not hired Claude Julien as head coach? Recycling past coaches never works for any team!

Please elaborate on how you feel he is an off-ice leader.

FYI: I started the first thread that generated a lot of interest, so now it is up for debate again. Pax is the focal point amongst a lacklustre season; cannot say he is a scapegoat due to the fact that he floats, and his comments to media proves that a trade is pretty much writing on the wall should Bergevin not be fired before. Thoughts?

and what other french speaking GMs are around that you know of?

Pierre seems to have all the answers for the Habs, I would seriously give him a chance. And he speaks french

do you really want to know the answer?

he knows this organization inside and out, why not? who else is actually available that can make prudent decisions and be accountable for them?

I actually think Pierre Mcguire wouldn't be a bad GM. A hell of an upgrade in the interim for dumpster diver.

follow nhltrashtalkers on instagram, I'm sure its coming

where is Sherbak in terms of development? can be be put on a line with Lehkonen next season?

please humour me and elaborate...

rangers are not 4 lines deep, but lets take this time to thank cowboy Bob Gainey for trading Ryan Mcdonagh for Scott Gomez.

If you think the Rangers can beat the Caps/Penguins you are cut off tonight

I wouldn't give up on #27 yet, but I would give up on #11/#67 first

you're likely bang on with this comment, it was Weber influencing Radu knowing how hopeless of a team he had surrounding him hoping he could boost the team, which he did. Imagine the Canadiens without Radulov this season? But at the same point, it's hindsight 20/20. You get rid of Subban who could have been an all star D man for several more seasons than #6, Weber has maximum 2 good seasons left in him.

one thing we can all mutually agree on is that Marc Bergevin has let us down as a General Manager. PK Subban is laughing somewhere tonight and I am so happy that he is. He was NOT the problem. He was a real LEADER and embraced CHARACTER in the dressing room. I am not sitting here bashing Shea Weber but that could be one of the worst trades in franchise history. Bergevin must have been using an analytics algorithm hoping these players would pan out. Flynn, Mitchell, Danault (not his fault for being put in a role he wasn't meant to play), Davidson, Ott, Martinsen. The only plus side is Radulov but who knows what he's going to do after having the season he did. I would say this team needs to implode and build from the ground up. Players like Bryon and Lehkonen are terrific positives for the future but we have to figure out what to do with Gallagher and Chucky before they regress. Major decisions need to happen this offseason.

post is old, but maybe he should've had a FN snickers or two because he WASNT HUNGRY

not like Davidson would add much to this total.

my wish list for the last 3: a sh*t tonne of the following players: Lehkonen Byron McCarron Radulov Weber Gallagher

Davidson?

send steve otter box out to skullf*ck lundqvist. it will be worth the 2 minutes.

You of all people know best. Maybe he saw Corsi stats in the dumpster dives and he was playing the numbers game as a GM.
