Psycing Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 No one is going to be happier than Colin, guaranteed. And it's like I said to him a little while ago... The trade deadline is over, Gainey's not going to sign anyone until the end of the season, what else does he have to do but take over as Coach? Think about it, Gainey is the man that has to negotiate all the contracts with just about all the main players on the team. If they don't play for him, they're not going to get paid. Gainey will likely tighten the reigns on the players, I wouldn't expect much partying after games anymore - he'll remind them that they have not won anything yet. Anyway, I'm very excited now. I look forward to the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newf Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 this move by gainey :king: was an obvious one he was bound to make. carbo is a good coach but he lost the players a while ago. :ghg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Another though: You have to wonder how much of this was Gainey's decision, and how much of it was the owners... I think that there may be something else in play that we are not aware of (yet?). Either way, with Carbonneau out, Gainey's job is likely on the line a lot more than it was before. Personally, I think Gainey has had a fantastic job, especially in terms of filling the organization with talented young players with a bright future. However, this is Montreal and people expect a certain results on the ice - especially this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikz Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) wow. Shocker... seriously didn't expect that. http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/270846.html I did Carbo doesn't have leadership as a coach Gainey will force respect Expect the boys to play harder; Gainey did a great job as a n interim coach; if it wasn't for for Koivu's injury and Stillman's lucky goal, we would have KO'ed Carolina Edited March 9, 2009 by rafikz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexstream Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Didn't work last time... it worked during RS it was BS because of Huet during the playoffs. (and of Koivu's injury and of Pleks and Higgins slump) I did Carbo doesn't have leadership as a coach Gainey will force respect Expect the boys to play harder; Gainey did a great job as a n interim coach; if it wasn't for for Koivu's injury and Cole's lucky goal, we would have KO'ed Carolina i agree. still unexpected with 16 games to go.

Habitforming Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 YES!! Now maybe we'll get a coach that has a system or at least one that won't put Metropolit/Kostopoulos on 5 on 3 PP's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhfarber Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 wow, i would've expected this had we lost last night, but never would've thought the axe would fall regardless. Needless to say the Habs are in great coaching hands in Gainey, but you have to wonder what the future holds for the next Habs head coach... who is out there? especially when you consider it HAS to be a francophone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Bob Hartley would be a logic guess. I'd go with Felipe Alou though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikz Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Now the real questions: - Will Gainey become a full time coach next season? I would like that; Gainey inspired Kovalev to have a great season just with a ealk; imagine what it would be like when he's behind the bench - Bob Hartley? -Too bad Torotorella is not available; yes, he has a big mouth, but he's good Edited March 9, 2009 by rafikz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 it worked during RS it was BS because of Huet during the playoffs. (and of Koivu's injury and of Pleks and Higgins slump) RS? I think you and rafikz have your years mixed up, or I do. Gainey took over the year they didn't make the playoffs, when Montreal lost to Toronto when they played Huet over Halak and lost badly. I don't think he was there when we played Carolina. Am I remembering incorrectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canajun Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Didn't work last time... I thought Gainey did a FINE job last time he stepped in as coach. He had the team skating, attacking, and playing an aggressive 2 man forecheck. I hope he implements the same thing again this time. One word sums up my feelings about the Carbonneau firing --> yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainey took over the year they didn't make the playoffs, when Montreal lost to Toronto when they played Huet over Halak and lost badly. I don't think he was there when we played Carolina. Am I remembering incorrectly? You're wrong. Gainey took over after Julien in 2006, and took the team to the playoffs as head coach. Carbo's first year was the playoff miss in 2007. I smell pressure from above on this move. I don't get the feeling this was Gainey's call... if he thought the coaching was the issue, he'd have fired an assistant or three as well.
