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

[PlayMakers]

Good for Claude!

And a giant "Oh ****!" for the Bruins.

 

[Spanky185]

They will no doubt trade for Gregory Campbell....save him for the extra attacker.

That explains why it was done today, gives them enough time to trade for claudes preferred grinders

 

[N o o d l e s]

Howbowdah

 

[Estlin]

No problem with the Bruins allowing it.

That's like breaking up with someone and not allowing them to date other people. Dude wasn't good enough here for three years now.

Agreed.

Ouch

IMO Montreal just got really, really good

We'll see.

Ouch

IMO Montreal just got really, really good

He will be perfect there. He can take a mediocre roster with a good goalie pretty far with his system.

Montreal games just got very boring again.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

They do not have the pieces to play his game.

 

[Bruinz33]

This is just shocking to me. Definitely did not see this coming! This will definitely put more fule on the fire or the rivalry. I put a link below to a story I found about it not sure if it's new information but it did include a statement from the Canadians.

[Ladyfan]

Not at all surprised.

I like you Claude but I cannot possibly wish you good luck since you are with the Habs.

 

[LouJersey]

Montreal has owned the Bruins for eons. We fire the coach. The coach goes to Montreal. Bruins fans... "Oh noesssss"

 

[LouJersey]

And so, a new chapter in the Bruins-Habs rivalry begins.

The ultimate troll

I'm not sure if it's a troll when you go work for the rival after you've been fired.

 

[KrejciMVP]

This is the shot in the arm MTL need. I expect Claude will have them prepared for the stretch. What better team for Claude to get revenge with. Weber will love playing for Claude

 

[mikeq672]

They do not have the pieces to play his game.

This, I dont know why everyone is freaking out. Clode is gonna lose his mind with that roster because it doesnt fit his system at all outside of Weber and Price. Theyll be in a shell around Price for 60 minutes a game and Habs fans will be pissed after a week.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Gee, didn't see that coming (snicker)(snicker)(snicker)

Sweeneely are such rubes.

What a hot mess this team is.

Ga-ROHN-Teed this karma turd comes back to bite the Bruins in the arse.

Claude is 1 of 2 coaches in Bruins history to have a winning record against Montreal in the playoffs

 

[patty59]

If you didn't think he was good enough to coach this tean why would you care where he goes?

 

[Gee Wally]

How does it feel that Plekanec will be your #1C?

Hes not a Habs fan.

 

[Over the volcano]

i didnt think this would happen until next season

I was hoping it would happen before last saturday!

I love him as a coach and hope he never wins another game. . .

Claude is 1 of 2 coaches in Bruins history to have a winning record against Montreal in the playoffs

Hopefully he keeps it up

 

[JAD]

And there it is.

This should be interesting.

 

[LSCII]

Claude's first order of business:

1. Stop gaining blue line with puck., Convert to dump and chase
2. Get the 4th line more minutes
3. Convert Galchenyuk to wing since he can't play center in such a complex system
4. Funnel puck back to d to set up offense
5. Train all forwards to back check before puck is even in offensive zone
6. Get 3rd line more minutes
7. Swap Patches out for Desharnais on PP
8. Profit

 

[SPLBRUIN]

The worst part is the Bruins could have just said "no" but they didn't. Oh well, just another day in paradise.

Bruins don't seem to concerned about facing CJ, after all how can it be any worse then it was with Julien vs Therrien.

 

[Spanky185]

Montreal has owned the Bruins for eons. We fire the coach. The coach goes to Montreal. Bruins fans... "Oh noesssss"

I said this the last two of seasons when his job security was questioned. Maybe the Bruins will own the Habs for the next five years

 

[RoccoF14]

No problem jumping on the Clode hate train. Guy comments how Bruins fans are the best in hockey and signs to coach their biggest rival. Feels like a ***** slap in the face. **** you Clode!

C'mon. What's the guy supposed to do, say NO to coaching the Montreal Canadiens because of some ******** loyalty to Boston Fans?

I don't begrudge him this at all. I hope we kick his ass every time we play them, but he'll always get a warm reception from me.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

...

I'll always think the world of Claude Julien...

I hope he ****ing burns in hell with the rest of his new team. I wish him nothing but the worst. I hope he chokes on his Poulet Frit Kentucky.

 

[LSCII]

Montreal has owned the Bruins for eons. We fire the coach. The coach goes to Montreal. Bruins fans... "Oh noesssss"

I'm the exact opposite. Do you know how easily the Bruins can exploit this system having been in it for the last 10 years?

 

[Mpasta]

He will be perfect there. He can take a mediocre roster with a good goalie pretty far with his system.

Montreal games just got very boring again.

He didn't with us though?
