Confirmed with Link: Montreal fires Therrien - Claude Julien named Habs Coach

[LSCII]

Agreed. Your ex-girlfriend is doing fine by the way, she wanted me to tell you that.

Easily the comment of the thread. Close it down now, because this killed it...

 

[Noweare]

I'll give him 2 years there before he's fired again...

On a side note, pretty funny that Therrien has been fired twice by the Habs and replaced by Julien both times...

Now that is just weird.

Glad Montreal didnt hire Boucher (who the fans wanted) hes done good things in Ottawa.

It would be if I cared!

Ha! Lou just dropping bombs on that one and it killed me.

Hope you finish your career with one Cup Claude. Nothing personal.

I don't need an update on my ex-coach any more than I need an update on my ex-girlfriend. This is like a creepy friend of her new boyfriend letting me know what she posts on Facebook. Thanks, but no thanks!

What a fruitcake.

Later Clode.. toilet seat looks great on ya bud

Looks like the players are 'responding' to him already

You can thank Cam Neely and Jeremy Jacobs.

It looks more like he's gritting his teeth than smiling. No doubt they're asking him if Marchand is as big a dbag as Subban was.

Yes it is. The all time leader in wins for the Bruins and now this. I want to puke

Yep. Really sinks in when you see him in Habs gear.

I'm over it, Go Cass!

No doubt. They must of chatted a bit on how it was for them playing against him/Bruins and now they're on the same team. I know there professionals but its such a turn of events, that I'm sure it must of come up. I know some folks think its only the fans who think like this but I don't know about that.. 10 years as the Bruins head coach and the Bruins All-Time Coaching Wins Leader, and now he's behind the tabs bench. Incredible..

I pray we get in the playoffs and play against them. Gosh that would be epic!

What's the word for ass-kissing? Looks like a bunch of players trying to pal up the new coach!

Habs would be wise to listen to everthing claude says. He is the bringer of Stanley cups and Stanley Cup finals.

Let's put things into perspective. The Bruins went 39 years without a Cup win but during that period Boston fans also had the Celtics, Patriots and Red Sox.

Montreal is 24 years since their last Cup win.....and they have nothing else unless you count the Alouettes.

It drives Canadians crazy but the of the O6 teams the two Canadian teams waiting the longest for a parade are Montreal 1993 and Toronto 1967.

 

[JOKER 192]

Yup I've loved watching the 180s being pulled on social media right now

After the Habs upset the Bruins in 2014 everyone around here was saying how Therrien had out-coached Julien , these same people are now saying Julien is easily a better coach than Therrien. I agree that with that statement by the way but it's funny to hear from people who were ridiculing him that way not so long ago.

Doesn't drive me crazy at all, if they had won , now that would have drove me crazy. But yes. generally that's a true statement except for a few of us enlightened ones

 

[Moose Head]

Your interpretation of the facts are false.
Julien did not seek employment elsewhere. The Canadiens asked the Bruins if they could talk to him and the Bruins said yes. The FO or ownership allowed this to happen.

Julien got his first head coaching gig in the NHL with Montreal. Maybe going to that club is not as sacrilegious as you might think. Hal Gill went there. Quintal went there. Samsonov went there. Andy Moog went there.

Yes, it's a rivalry because they have a long history of hard fought games but it's the fans that get carried away. The players and coaches are colleagues to an extent.

That's one thing I always liked about Josh Gorges. He refused to waive his NTC to go to the leafs because years of rivalry made him hate the team. He was willing to waive to help the habs cap situation but not to the leafs and I'm sure the Bruins.

Last time the Habs won the Cup, in order to read about it, one would have to walk out to their local corner store and by a newspaper. Now, the way a typical Hab fan would present things would have one believe they are the reigning champs but
