I could probably speak for 9 out of 10 Habs fans.

We hate Therrien. Price is the reason why he still has a job.

Lindy Ruff has been a pleasant surprise. I didn't like the hire at the time (I was also a little disappointed AV rejected the Stars), but since then I have become quite fond of him. He still uses old-school which I find odd, and like every other coach he makes a few lineup choices I don't agree with, but he's fine otherwise. Now his assistants on the other hand...

I like Boudreau. He has a lot to prove but there's no arguing that he gets the best out of his players.

I think a good chunk our fan base is a little too spoiled. They want everything and they want it now. Anyways, Babs and Holland are doing a very good job. Not much to complain about in my view.

Tank Commander Horacek has been doing just fine.

Will revisit when we've hired a new coach this summer.

Claude Julien: one of the best defensive minds in the game. Demands his players play his system which has proven to be successful. Is great for some players not great for others. The ones that he is particularly not great with are offensively oriented players/prosepcts. Plays the 4th line too much and even sends them on the ice when trailing a goal with 2 minutes left in the game to attempt to score which they never do, loves 4liners/grinders and kfc too much.

Joel Quenneville

Pros:
Great coach and I really like him
Manages the game well
Puts out good lines
Knows when to go through the line blender (atleast most of the time)

Cons:
Favoritism towards players that don't perform well



Basically all I can think of off the top of my head.

Fred Flintstone needs to play his best players rather than just saying because the team is winning we shouldn't make changes even though they are winning due to playing crap opponents. That and I wonder if he and Brian Strait are in a relationship

You mean Habs fans on HF boards maybe. Our whole board hate him because he plays Desharnais in his top 6 which is weird because that's where he should be playing.

Therrien is not that bad. Obviously, I don't always like his decisions but overall he has done good.

^ pleasant choice of words, there.

I think WD has done a good job so far. I do think he's guilty of some rookie mistakes and he also is sometimes stubborn about changes.


I'm waiting for a Leafs fan to come in here ;)

His positives far outweigh his negatives but...Tanner Glass.

Anyway, 35 years? What about 1992 or 1994?

Maybe '92 yeah, that team was sick. The '94 team, obviously we know what they did, but Keenan was a maniac. He benched Leetch, he benched Zubov, he crucified Kovalev. I love the '94 team for what they were, but they weren't allowed to play the open hockey this team does.

Sabres :

Nolan was just a guy management brought in to basically be the sacrificial lamb for this season. They figured they'd bring some nostalgia back to keep some fans interested for a little bit while we tank.

It is almost a certainty that he will be fired after the season after listening to Murray last week.

Which makes you scratch your head at the contradiction of playing the least skilled player in the NHL so often. I do think that with what Miller has done with Hayes when Fast gets back Glass will be out. We also will probably trade for a bottom 6 player.
