sbhatt Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 He makes a good case, but I still say we should wait until the season ends and there is a wider pool of coaching candidates to choose from. Firing him at this point is strictly a move to satisfy fan bloodlust, rather than a calculated step to make the team better next season. If he's going to stay, I think our owner should tell LeGenius face to face to keep PK's name out of his mouth from now til the end of the season.

kickass528 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 So P.K made a mistake so has all the other players at one point what about Therrien pulls Ben Scrivens after letting 3 goals but keeps Mike Condon after letting in 6 goals. Therrien your time is up leave, Marc Bergevin it's not P.K. time to leave lets not see another Patrick Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therrien your time is up leave, Marc Bergevin it's not P.K. time to leave lets not see another Patrick Roy FULL STOP. I don't agree with blaming PK and throwing him under the bus. But there is something i do disagree with.... how is it wrong to pull one goalie after 3 but leave the other for 6? What part of pro coaching says that the coach has to treat every player the same? What makes those 3 goals the same as the 6? How are the two situations comparable. This is the same thing that kills me when people complain player x makes a mistake and is benched, but player y makes many mistakes and isn't benched. There is nothing that says the coach has to treat both guys the same. Players are human beings... some respond to a kick in the ass, and some respond to a pat on the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's going to stick around, he can leave the bag skates and blame game at home. It's something new every game with this group, and the whole situation has devolved into a sideshow.

hab29RETIRED Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I get why you'd want to change coaches at the end of the year, but I don't even have any confidence in MB to do that. He still has his croony lefebve in St. John's despite years of ineptitude. This getting more and more embarrassing. As much as I want a better pick, I don't want this team to be the joke it's become. We are talking Harold Ballard leafs level of ineptitude now. Molson needs to grow a pair and screw this guy god damn French policy. I think the team has realized their isn't enough French talent to ice a elite team, it's time they realize there isnt enough elite coaching or management talent to keep this friggin ridiculous French policy - and now I don't consider a fat bafoon like julien to be an elite coach.

johnnyhasbeen Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I expect a rather hostile atmosphere in the Bell tonight if he is still behind the bench. Probably akin to the feeling in the Forum on T Patty's day 1955. I hope everyone make MT very uncomfortable behind the bench. May the "Fire Therrien" chants be the main course of the evening I hope he isn't given a job on RDS after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, but RDS is the landing place for all French coaching failures, so MT will be welcomed with open arms. There are part of the reason we have this damn French coach policy.

DON Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 So your saying he wont be in running for Jack Adams trophy this year? Next year he will get it then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 We need to stay cool. The attack on Bergevin is unwarranted IMHO. Grizzly Adams has shown considerable sang-froid in this crisis, refusing to compromise any long-term assets for attempts at quick fixes. He has also, presumably, preferred to keep the same coach rather than settle for a needlessly small talent pool for replacements. Far from suggesting that Bergy is a joke, this suggests to me a GM who coldly keeps his eye on the big picture - and who has an owner who gives him the room needed to do that. These are good things. Now, IF after the season ends, Grizzly Adams decides to keep Therrien, OR hires an obviously inept internal replacement, then we can truly conclude that the franchise is not in good hands. But so far, the signs are good if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I also first thought of Grizzy Adams when they showed him...or was it a homeless guy in a fancy suit? But totally agree CC, it is as if losing Price is irrelevant to many and Therrien has a forward group with multiple (or even ONE) all-stars to work with.

There are other coaches with much less talent than us doing a hell of a lot better than the bouncer who somehow became a coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 If Therrien is an issue in the organization, I would not be against Molson firing him and replacing him with an assistant coach until the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...why is everybody so afraid of this option? Are they going to be worse that 8-24? It does jeopardize the tank however, as a baked potato could get more wins out of this lineup than Therrien. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that Dan Lacroix and Sylvan Lefebvre are shitty coaches, but what if they come up and have a good run in a small sample size. Then there is pressure to name the interim guy into a head coach and I'd rather not deal with that, or have them screw shit up for the draft pick . Anyone outside the organization is not taking an "interim" tag here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs rule Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 I don't think Ramsay speaks french, and we would be right back in the cunneyworth thing. Sane thing for Dudley and we don't want to lose him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sane thing for Dudley and we don't want to lose him. If it ever came to an interim guy, Ramsay would be okay. He has enough experience/clout that the players would respect him. Whether or not Molson would be willing to be part as something he views as ignominious once again is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
