GDT: Game 17: Montreal Canadiens vs Ottawa Senators 2/21/21 7:00pm EST SN, RDS, TSN 690

Drouin needs to start delivering like the highly touted player he was when he was drafted 3rd overall.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Molson is around 50. He hasn't had the balls to fire MB yet and I don't see any chance of him doing it. I agree MB has to go but unless the team is sold I just don't see it happening. A new coach maybe, new GM would shock the shit out of me.

Molson is simply an imbecile and im being conservative. When you only success in 9 years with ur GM was because of a Goalie. Therrien was first Bergevin mistake. Then Hired Julien into a 5 year f***ing deals. He only made the playoffs the year he got hired because the team was pretty much already in playoff mode .
Since then 4 years later still no playoffs (bubble doesnt count) The only thing that will probably save him is that we will make playoffs by default in this shit division.
His pathetic Record 129-113-33. Thats under .500. Been getting outcoached for half a decade . No problem here.

 

[Canadienna]

I totally agree that Chiarot and Weber have to separated. Ultimately Chiarot should not even be in our top 6.

Idk, often guys like that look bad when forced to play above their abilities, but fit nicely when used appropriately. Chiarot on a bottom pairing might actually work.

Jordie Benn for example.

 

[Walrus26]

Quietly confident of a win tonight. Might not be pretty, but I think we'll have enough.

We'd better - two 3am finishes in a row and work in the morning would really suck if we threw this one anyway as well!

Bon petit gars de chez nous.

Love his commercial$.

 

[AyyoCully]

If we did happen to fire Julien.. do you guys think we would promote Ducharme or look outside the organization for our next head coach?

Itll be Bouchard

Weber-Chiarot




A good coaching staff would have realized by now this duo cannot remain together. I don't know what the solution for Weber's slow-ass skating is, but Chiarot ain't cutting it.

but they're so mean! they're gonna intimidate the opposing team into submission!

Speaking of which.. when was the last time Grandpa Weber actually fought?

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Seattle wouldn’t take him.

what if we retained some salary?

idk, I'll have to check the tapes from his time in Nashville

 

[Redux91]

I predict Julien gets canned if we lose this game.

Not even close, its gonna take much more than that unfortunately

+1

We could miss the playoffs for the next 3 years straight and I still wouldn't be sure Julien is on the hot seat..

 

[WeThreeKings]

I think he could be on the hot seat. He's been here for awhile and has really only overseen lottery seasons or collapses.

MB has built the team for him, they are capped out.

 

[Tighthead]

what if we retained some salary?

What’s the appeal? He’s not young and not that great.

 

[Gainesvillain]

We're still firmly in the top third of the NHL in terms of winning percentage right now, after being a bubble team last year. Julien isn't on any hot seat.

 

[sandviper]

Itll be Bouchard

Yeah, though CJ isn’t getting fired tonight if we lose. We can lose Tuesday and Thursday also and he’ll still be here. We lose on Saturday, well, something had better happen.

Anyhow, Muller and Ducharme can work as co-coaches until the end of the season. This worked in the playoffs.

If Bouchard comes aboard, it won’t be until next season at the earliest.

Only needs to start now? I thought he was way overdue.

You then move Ducharme to coach the Rocket -- he's very good with young players, he'd fit right in.

This is how they have the Habs depicted on the Sens' forum, next to their logo:

If they must insist with their by now overused and arcane depiction of the Habs logo, we might as well take it one step further:

 

[De Montreal]

Drouin created many chances yesterday. Weird guy to pick on at this point. I thought our forwards were engaged and effective last night. The problem was our six dman.

 

[Holystik]

Might miss the beginning of the game.
Stuck at the emergency, just sliced my finger up to the bone while cooking.
What a day....

 

[HockeyJunkie87]

Might miss the begining of the game.
Stuck at the emergency, just sliced my finger up to the bone while cooking.
What a day....

Hope you get out soon bud. Thats terrible luck
I hope that thing heals quickly!
