    Default Habs Fire Therrien

    Habs fire Therrien, name Julien head coach

    TSN.ca Staff

    For the second time in franchise history, the Montreal Canadiens have fired Michel Therrien as head coach and replaced him with Claude Julien.
    Therrien was in the fifth season of his second go-around with the club.
    The Canadiens own a 31-19-8 record this season but have lost their last two and are seeing their Atlantic Division lead diminish as they head into their ‘bye week.’
    Julien was fired by the Bruins February 7 this year. He coached the Canadiens for parts of three seasons from 2002-2006, compiling a 72-62-10-15 record.



    After his first stint with the Habs, Julien coached the New Jersey Devils before being hired by the Bruins in 2007. He was in his tenth season behind the bench for the Bruins.

    The 56-year-old led the Bruins to their first Stanley Cup Championship since 1972 when they captured the league crown in seven games over the Vancouver Canucks in 2011.
    They made an unsuccessful return to the Final in 2013, falling in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks.
    Julien won the Jack Adams Trophy as the league’s best coach in 2008-09 when the Bruins posted a 53-19-10 record and in 2013-14, he helped them win the Presidents’ Trophy as the best regular season team with 117 points.
    While Julien’s tenure was highlighted by multiple playoff runs and a championship, the Bruins have missed the playoffs in the last two seasons, the only times they’ve done that since he succeeded Dave Lewis behind the bench.
    Therrien led the team to Atlantic Division titles in 2013 and 2015 and an Eastern Conference Final appearance in 2014.
    Last season, the Canadiens posted a 38-38-6 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since Therrien rejoined the team.
    Therrien concludes his second stint with a 194-121-37 record. His combined 271 wins are the fourth most in Canadiens’ history behind Toe Blake, Dick Irvin and Scotty Bowman.
    He spent four seasons as head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins in between his stints in Montreal.

    all kidding aside it`s a great move for the Habs, Julien is a great coach IMO..............wonder how long it`s going to take Julien to strip Pacioretty of his "C"

    Habs fan here...I called this last Saturday.Terrien had to go...Julien could be a good fit & LONG overdue change.
    Let's see if it lights a fire under the Frogs azzes, or they continue to choke like they did last year.

    I don`t follow the Habs enough to pretend to know why they are obviously slumping. They have the best goalie and the best defensman in the NHL and that`s a pretty good spot to start them coming out of a slump. Therrien was touted as too strict and too ridged for the youth of the NHL even back a couple years ago............my sense is that he lost the room.

    Subban was becoming bigger than the team.....getting more media than the team and that can`t happen in Montreal. That being said the Habs pulled off one of the great deals of all time........Shea Weber for Subban straight up was a huge win for the Habs, one I`m still scratching my head on....what was Poile thinking?

    Therrien as never stepped up from junior B coach he always as a good season start but that's until other teams stepped up their game and that's where Therrien gets in trouble another guy that should go is JJd the defense coach he has no place been there they should go and get Larry Robinson

    And one more thing they will never win the Stanley cup until the french media stop's deciding ho gets hired by the Canadiens manager i wouldn't care if the next coach speaks only Russian but no no no for the french media he as to speak french that to me is bull crap

    yup I remember when they had Randy Cunneyworth a few years ago, the poor guy never got a chance, the media scolded him from the start because he could only speak english....
