Speculation: Julien's fate
- Thread starter Edgy
- Start date
GMs don't really get to fire 2 coaches they hired that often and surive.
If Julien is fired, Bergevin follows in the summer. I can’t remember a GM that goes through three coaches in a single tenure.
both are at fault but this is also a poorly constructed team.

He wont be fired. It's not like the team is under performing. We shouldn't even be this high.

lol it took Bergevin 6 years to fire Therrien, he's not going to fire Julien. The only way Julien goes is if MB is fired by Molson (wont happen because Molsons a beta cuck) and the new GM wants his own coach.

Wait, what? I mean, I totally agree that currently the team is in the standings exactly where I thought they would be at this point when the season started. Juuuust out of the playoffs.
But to say the team isn't underperforming currently is just wrong. They certainly overperformed early on and shouldn't have been that high, but neither should they be losing twice to NJ and getting humiliated by NY and Boston like they were.

We are stuck with these guys, Julien signed a 5 year contract and Bergevin is extended to mid-way to 2030. Molson is cheap and clueless, and too scared to do anything.

Julien is the most unimpressive coach lol. Such a boring style too. The sooner the better. This guy is never leading a cup run.
You will go through ups and downs every season man..It's normal. If every team fired coaches becomes of cold streaks almost every team would fire their coach annually.
Right now, ya, they're going through pathetic losses, but that should stop. If we keep losing as we have, then ya he'll probably get terminated. I expect the team to get out of it though, continue with ups and downs, to finish just out of the POs.

Am I the only one to actually like Julien ?
What a stupid thread lol. Julien is one of the best coaches in the league. He and the team arent boring...we score plenty. Our problem is defensive. He didnt have a problem coaching the Bruins to a Cup. Or the Devils to a succesful season.
People need to stop blaming coaches...its the players that need to execute. THIS defense and team arent good enough.
Save for Weber and Chariot, the defense needs to be rehauled.Petry is ok but the other 3 arent NHL caliber. Yes, that includes Mete. Bottom 3 D are AHL caliber.
Sure you can add a T. Hall. That wont stop our losing. We need to prevent goals , not score more.
This fan base just wants to swap coaches. Time to look at the guys who actually play.

No. I think he's a very good coach. Like any coach, there is a list of things I don't like, but he gets them working and has their respect. He just has to figure out the special teams and how to get out of these spirals that happen twice a season. But we could do much, much worse. So careful what you wish for.

Just as the level of winning was unsustainable I also think the level of losing is also. they are bouncing between over and under performing and I assume that will change soon too. I wouldn't mind another record under Marcs tenure but that's just wishful thinking.
That being said they keep losing he may fire CJ anyways. CJ is not a good coach but our team is terrible.
Its tough to say.

Boring style? No say what you want of Julien but the style is actually exciting.

If he'd get fired, he would find a NHL head coach job faster than most actual NHL coaches, including former coach Mike Babcock.
I don’t think he’ll get fired. If he does, that would place MB on the proverbial hot seat. This team is a disaster in the defensive end. Can CJ do a better job coaching them? I have no clue. Guys like Kulak should be nowhere near a top 6 on D but it’s what Clod has to work with.

Horrible coach and should be canned. Why keep him if nothing is working. Bergevin should be fired too. This organization is putrid and rotten and the dinosaur is not any better

Your lack of reading comprehension is the issue here, not the thread. There's actually no criticism to Julien here (not that he doesn't deserve any) and specifies if he gets fired it's because Bergevin is trying to save his job.
We all know part of the problem is the defense, we've known for years. This poll is specifically about whether Julien gets the axe or not. The Leafs just fired Babcock after a 5 game skid, so it is not far fetched to assume Montreal might do the same for obvious reasons.

I would call Molson a useless hobbit, but at least a hobbit can bring the Ring to Mordor while Molson can't even bring Bergevin to the garbages.

6 games losing streak isn't normal, especially when it happens this often. We're having our post-Christmas holiday meltdown a tad early and 1 more will tie us for the longest losing streak in our history for the 2nd time in 2 years. Something has to give, teams lose players all the time, they never become this bad.
I think he is a good coach but not a good fit for the kind of team we are icing and for the direction we are going to.
