Wow! Did not expect this one.

 

[Whitesnake]

Gallant out. DeBoer in. Wow, thank god those anglophones have ALL THAT POOL THEY CAN CHOOSE FROM.....lollll

 

[Roadhouse]

Wasn't DeBoer coaching the Sharks during the epic series against the Knights?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Whaaaaaaat ? Bring freaking Gallant back right now before the other teams find out !! Also DeBoer, really ? Talk about contrasting styles Pacio and Stone better get used to seeing their stats go way down.

 

[The Great Weal]

Wow that was unexpected. I'd much rather have Gallant instead of Julien.

 

[Milhouse40]

Can't believe Vegas fired Gallant.....

 

[Tuggy]

Gotta be something else behind the scenes with Gallant.

But if not, very strange decision.

 

[CHarlie]

Vegas are 5 games above .500 and in a playoff race.....strange timing for firing Gallant

 

[TouzY]

Could he help the young Montreal players rise to their true potential ?

 

[PaulD]

Can't believe Vegas fired Gallant.....

what ???

First I heard of it

 

[Adam Michaels]

I don't know if there is something behind the scenes to this. Because despite Vegas' recent struggles, they're still in the playoffs holding a Wild Card spot and only 3 points from 1st place of their Division.

They lost 4 straight and have been 4-6-0 in their last 10.

Meanwhile, Habs have two 8-game losing streaks where in those 16 games, they picked up a grand total of 4 points of a possible 32. All is good there.

I would take Gallant in a split second.

 

[MrGold]

Yes

 

[Guy Larose]

Could he help the young Montreal players rise to their true potential ?

Does he speak French? (I couldn't care less myself).

 

[Adriatic]

No. Julien is light years better.

 

[417]

Would be a better fit for what Bergevin is attempting to do then Julien is.

But ultimately...4 quarters for 1 dollar.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Last time around, Julien was fired. Then Habs went on their Bye-Week and made the coaching change.

Here's hoping history repeats itself. One coach is fired heading into Habs' Bye-Week and the coaching change is made.

 

[Habaneros]

Did he learn french in Vegas? if not , too bad ...unfortunately we all know the game here.

That said, be good to see him back behind the bench in Montreal

 

[The Great Weal]

Dont think Julien is the biggest issue for the Habs but I would absolutely take Gallant instead. That being said, I dont see Bergevin firing Julien and hiring Gallant.

I find it borderline hilarious how coaches are being recycled around the league.

One man's trash is another man's pleasure treasure

Obviously they didnt bounce it off Molson. Because In Montreal ? With that record ?......Gallant would be good for 10 years, 3 of losing, "3 resets" , then start to consider a change.

 

[durojean]

I felt like he is a really good coach. I'd like him with the Habs. He is really good with young players.

 

[Frank Drebin]

It would be change for the sake of change

Julien is doing fine considering the lineup he is given

 

[habsfan891]

100% I would but knowing MB and how much he loves Cj it's a 0% chance.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Maybe I'm misremebering, but last time around, before the Habs' officially fired MT to replace him with CJ, wasn't Gallant spotted around the Bell Center the week before the coaching change? So all kinds of speculation there when that was being rumored
