Confirmed with Link: Lefebvre relieved of his duties. Search for a new coach in Laval thread

[Habs]

Good , you sucked when you played, you sucked when you coached. Lets hope JJD is next.

 

[MaxDummy]

"Marc, do you surround yourself with yesmans?"

MB: "No?'!!!!"

MB in his head: "f*** they know"

*2 weeks later he fires Lefebvre *

 

[Runner77]

He will put on a fake moustache only to get another job in the organization.

The Bobby Valentine Special, lol.

Didn't Carriere just say he was very happy with the work he did in Laval like last week??

Yeah I guess Carriere is next on the list. Or these guys don't talk to each other. How can you be satisfied by his work (30th and last in the league), decide to fire him, and then keep your job. Anyway not sure what Carriere was doing anyway. The ones i want gone are the PK coach and the pro scout(s) who recommanded the hire of Alzner/Ott/Martinsen/King/Lucic/Bonino as 2C/Hemsky/Streit/Semin/Schlemko/Benn

"I would like to sincerely thank Sylvain for his loyalty, his hard work and his contribution to the Montreal Canadiens' organization over the past six seasons with Hamilton, St. John's and Laval. Challenges are extremely demanding as a Head Coach in the AHL, and Sylvain and his group had to overcome several difficult situations over the years. The decision to remove Sylvain from his coaching duties was a difficult one because I have a lot of respect for him and I consider him to be an excellent coach. I took the time to discuss the situation with Larry Carrière, and concluded that our development team needed a new direction in the head coaching position," said Bergevin.

Hopefully he's completely gone from the Habs organization for good. They should've cleaned house there including Larry Carrière while they were at it.

 

[Krnage]

who is avalaible ? Ducharme Boucher Bouchard etc ?

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

As long as he is actually completely done, Im happy.

This is low hanging fruit tho and there is about 10 more similar moves needed

 

[zzoo]

Well, it's 3-4 years late.....better late than nothing though.

 

[goforit]

Was about time...

 

[Vachon23]

who is avalaible ? Ducharme Boucher Bouchard etc ?

Eric Veilleux, he is higher in my list then Boucher

 

[Tyson]

Relieved of current duties. It’s not what is said...it’s what is not being said. I bet he is still moved to JJD’s spot.

Hopefully he's completely gone from the Habs organization for good. They should've cleaned house there including Larry Carrière while they were at it.

It came 6 years too late but we'll gladly take it.

 

[lo striver]

Did Sly have a bad attitude?

he was too doggy

[crosbyshow]

Bouchard !!!!!!!

We need him

Personally..he would be head coach with the big team but with Julien's contract.....

Bouchard has the complete package`

Great communicator with his players and the press
Great motivator
Can be tough with his players
So good technically

Charisma.

even a good looking guy..lol

 

[NORiculous]

I remember MB saying after the PC that he thought it was not fair to give criticisme to SL since he lost all of his best players to the Habs because of injury. I didn't think he would fire him... but he did. I'm suprised.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Relieved of current duties. It’s not what is said...it’s what is not being said. I bet he is still moved to JJD’s spot.

If he was getting JJD's spot I doubt they would've announced he was relieved of his duties in Laval, they would've likely just made the announcement he was getting promoted to the NHL.

 

[Belial]

Finally, McCarron will become a star!

 

[SquiddFX]

Well that's some good news I guess. Can't complain about this, well maybe a little because it took so long

 

[NotProkofievian]

Good.

Now we get to see if we were right about ahl coaches mattering in development, once and for all.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Did they actually fire him from the org or did they just stash him as a ‘pro scout’ like Therrien?

 

[neopreneur]

Drain the swamp.

 

[beowulf]

Alas he was the least of my worries...Bergevin firing will have me dancing in the street.

 

[cactusjack]

I bet Therrien is more a caddy in florida than a scout at this point!

 

[Tighthead]

I bet Therrien is more a caddy in florida than a scout at this point!

Pretty sure that was just a courtesy. These guys are getting paid anyway.

 

[Captain Mountain]

91.9 sport call the Habs and Saillant confirme to them, that Sly is finish in MTL he don't gonna have an others post in the organisation

That's good then. It was a change that was long overdue. Hopefully they can find a better development coach.
