News Article: Therrien And Briere

Sickening

 

[yianik]

So this guy thought he had the required qualities and knowledge to teach PK Subban how to be a better person ?

We need a new policy. All job applicants have to take a test for personality disorders and also an IQ test/ cognitive functionality test.

People working for the team can't have their personal crap getting in the way and they also need to have a level of intelligence and cognitive functioning ie not be an imbecile at the very least, but hopefully a higher standard than that.

Man, I thought Therrien was a bad coach, but this sounds really unproductive. I'm baffled it took as long as it did for him to lose the room.



Paraphrasing here, but Desharnais is saying that Therrien called players into his office two hours prior to a game to tell players what they did wrong the previous game instead of during practice. So guys who had bad previous games started the next one frustrated and angry.

And you forgot, not concentrated on the task of playing hockey.

 

[yianik]

And you forgot, not concentrated on the task of playing hockey.

Does it strike anyone that if MT did this garbage well intentioned and for the sake of the team that he must think he is a motivational genius ? If not well intended then he just gets off messing with people who cant really do anything about it, so he is a gutless, misearable prick.

 

[MisterNoItAll]

Two individuals who happen to dislike each other, more news at 11.

Who cares? Both are no longer with the team anyway.

What Coach has not ripped a player? Briere's personality is exactly the same as when he played, soft and fragile.

Not saying Therrien was a good coach, but damn, this is really a nitpicking issue. Fighting is practically outlawed, next they'll outlaw hits, and now apparently yelling/critiquing players by coaches is now going to be a thing of the past too.

 

[MisterNoItAll]

The rumors of what he said about Max being the worst captain in Canadiens history and what he did to Shaw really don't seem too unbelievable. When multiple players come out saying the same type of stories about Therrien it says something. The same type of coach Therrien was with Terry Ryan seems to be the same one Briere faced and that's concerning. It also explains why things began to falter when Gallant left because a guy like him is who you need to have to act as a buffer.

Max being the worst captain in Habs history is true though, name a worse captain. And Shaw has incredibly stupid hockey IQ, reasonable for a coach to blow up on him.

 

[MisterNoItAll]

I know of one former player who said that Roy was a "terrible person" as a coach. (Louis Domingue)

And Louis Domingue is garbage goaltender who no longer plays in the NHL. The same softie who went on TVA Sports a few weeks ago, with Dave Morissette trying to promote himself to get another job in the NHL (no teams picked him up on waivers), and then subsequently whined about how Arizona treated him (by placing him on waivers). Roy on the other hand is arguably the best goaltender in history.

Therrien was not the best coach, for sure. But there is no denying the self-entitlement culture that these modern players possess, which is pathetic, considering they're living their dream job and making millions.

The Point.















Your head.

 

[Deluded Puck]

When there’s nothing to say, deflect attention away from to message to the messenger.

Briere’s accounts doesn’t surprise me. MT is a classic bully, he gives off all the traits.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Both these statements are true.

However, enough people have called Therrien an egregious asshole, and enough ''wtf'' behaviour is on video that it's probably not worth arguing against. Yeah yeah, entitled players, muh millenials and all that but it seems as though there's enough smoke that there's maybe, just maybe a fire.

 

[JLP]

Breaking news: Michel Therrien is a horrible coach and an even worse person.

What does that say about all his cheerleaders?

 

[PaulD]

Therrien, Lefebvre, and Bergevin are three small-minded *******s that have collectively devastated the Habs.

Yes , yep and yep.

and many of have known and stated this loudly for years .

 

[PaulD]

Daniel Brière écorche Michel Therrien dans un livre, l’entraîneur réagit

Desharnais adding his 2 cents :

« C'était la façon de fonctionner de Michel. Si tu connaissais un match ordinaire, il ne te rencontrait pas lors de l'entraînement suivant pour clarifier les choses ou pour te donner des outils afin d'améliorer ton jeu [...] Pierre Gervais venait te chercher deux heures avant le match [pour t'amener voir Therrien]. Puis là, il te rentrait dedans! Tu te faisais remettre tes erreurs dans la gorge et tu te faisais ramasser juste avant le match. Ensuite, tu commençais ton match en étant frustré, fâché, sans être concentré sur la tâche à accomplir. » - David Desharnais

Does anyone have this one in English ...thanks

Michel ?

 

[PaulD]

Thats not true, he may have sucked with the talented players but he was damn good with the 3rd and 4th line players.

LOL....by what? putting them "3rd and 4th line players on the first line and powerplay ?

Joke at the OlympicS was MB was going to be in charge of the fifth line.

 

[PaulD]

Michel ?

"Nobody likes you , nobody respects you"

Where did MT learn that skill? High school girl bullying 101.

Are you freaking serious?

This is a guy who'd pull players aside every day for the sole reason of berating them. There was no strategic thought with this dinosaur, he believed in dump and chase for Pete's sake. The guy almost single handedly ruined a good young core.

Ripping a player is one thing, making it part of your daily routine is another. This guy was a cancer and at the very top of the list for worst coaches we've ever had - and yes that includes Mario Tremblay.

 

[PaulD]

And Louis Domingue is garbage goaltender who no longer plays in the NHL. The same softie who went on TVA Sports a few weeks ago, with Dave Morissette trying to promote himself to get another job in the NHL (no teams picked him up on waivers), and then subsequently whined about how Arizona treated him (by placing him on waivers). Roy on the other hand is arguably the best goaltender in history.

Therrien was not the best coach, for sure. But there is no denying the self-entitlement culture that these modern players possess, which is pathetic, considering they're living their dream job and making millions.

Nor the boys club that is Montreal management with their hands in the till.

Give me a freaking break.

Spare us the "self entitlement culture" nonsense. A coach's job is to get the best out of his players. MT was incompetent on every level. Roster mgmt, systems, player relations... it doesn't get any worse than this guy.

You can whine about "entitlement" all you want but who gives a crap about it? EVERY team would have this. Having a coach perform a Festivus type airing of the grievances every day with his players as MT did is just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

He's the worst coach we ever had and he's one of the worst things that ever happened to this franchise. He came at the absolute worst time for us and we're still feeling the effects of his incompetence. Five years removed from a great young core and now we're talking about a rebuild. How the hell did our idiot GM hire this guy let alone stick by him well beyond reason? It was a shockingly bad decision and it should've cost MB his job already. Unfortunately it looks like our owner is just as dumb as his GM.

 

[PaulD]

Lindsay loses the OT draw, and the Canes scored and we lost the game...meanwhile the #1 face off guy in the league in Yanik Perrault is on the bench...will never forget that idiot's decisions back in the day.............and then bring him back years later, to make more idiotic decisions...

werent Gilmour and Koivu also options for that face off. lol

He was a moron then and MB picked him right out of Moronville and put him in chArge of the team for FIVE YEARS.

WheN do the The Montreal Maple Leafs play The Toronto Canadiens next?

 

[Seb]

Makes you wonder what kind of judgement Bergevin has to hire this monster then extend him for 4 more years. Must himself be a gentleman.

Good points, though briere, is one not a modern player, two handled the situation as well as any human being can. Did not disrupt the team, but let the world know at the right time

Those point i accept if hard pressed, he needed to install discipline at the beginning, then team was winning so he extended him, but what about the fact he kept him with the team in a free fall and had the fox hole comment.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Glad MT is gone because I did not like the signing back in 2012 (There is a reason why the Pens got rid of him and I always said we would never win with him). Signing MT from the beginning and holding onto him after the 2015-2016 was two mistakes by Bergevin. I understand what MT has done for the Habs as he did get the best out of many players and ran a pretty tight system but he has very bad communication skills. He was bad for our team and Julien is by far the better coach and communicator.

«It was Michel's way of doing things. If you had a so-so game, he wouldn't meet you at practice the next day to clarify things or to give you ways of improving your game. [...] Pierre Gervais would come and get you 2 hours before the game (to come and meet Therrien). And then he would let it all come out. He would shove your mistakes down your throat and you were completely obliterated just before the game. Then you'd start your game frustrated, with no concentration whatsoever. » - David Desharnais
