This was great timing and I can completely agree that Therrien's message was wearing thin, but it's obvious that our selection pool forces us into making decisions (sometimes rushed) based on our limited pool of options. In a moment like this, I think it would be great to be able to interview every available coach out there. Instead, we're forced to have only one option. Thankfully our new coach knows a lot about our only true rivals and I do expect the team to have a lot of respect for Claude Julien. I don't have so much against Julien (although I did feel like the Habs had his number in general), just the process. I hate the french only thing. That said, Julien is a top 5 coach in the NHL, and the best available (french or english). The policy hurts us, but not with this hire.

Chris Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Wonder what went on in that meeting with Weber, Price Pacs and MB, obviously not a vote of confidence. I like Julian, but this current roster isn't his kind of team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 2 hours ago, Stogey24 said: Daigneault ran the worst power play last year. He gets taken off that in the offseason and put in control of the penalty kill... Now the penalty kill blows.... Root of Montreal's problem is defensive zone coverage. Guess who's running the defense. No kidding! Brian Wilde just said basically the same thing about Daigneault a few minutes ago on TSN690. Unfortunately the word is out that all the Habs assistant coaches will stay. I'm sure CJ will figure out how useless Daigneault is, and replace him in the off season. All newly hired head coaches bring in their own assistants. I will predict that Muller will be safe, but all the rest of them will be let go.

dlbalr Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 1 hour ago, Commandant said: What just happened? If you're quoting a post on one page of a thread with your post landing on a separate page, the thread won't move when you click submit reply. For example, if you quote post 47 in a reply (Page 2 while still on that page) with your reply being post 53 (Page 3), it won't jump to page 3 when you submit your post. So you can hit submit several times thinking you missed hitting it the first time without realizing you're posting the same reply. (It's happened to me too.) It didn't do that on the old board but it does here. Unfortunately, I know nothing about fixing stuff like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Which players will this new coach positively affect most...Galchenyuk, Beaulieu, Pateryn, Carr, Andrighetto, Danault? (Although Habs have dominated Julien's team for 5 years, so maybe he knows little about Hab players or perhaps had poor scouting?)

I like Julian, but this current roster isn't his kind of team. Not being sarcastic, what do you like about his coaching? I have paid no attention to what he tried to do vs Habs as it wasn't successful (or could say was horrible if you were a Bruins fan) so all was good matching up Therrien vs Julien.

DON Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Seems all HabFans simply hated him and his comments re Habs but all is forgiven now I suppose and "if you aint cheating you aint trying hard enough to win" (T. Brady 2016). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I would assume this means no trades happen till the trade deadline so as to give as much time as possible to see who adjusts to the new system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Not sure what you mean Don, Julian's teams are pretty physical, i like that style of play. The current roster is, IMO soft, slow defensively and have terrible center depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
