I think you should answer your own question. Therrien wasn't dead last and Habs were playing like they are now when he got canned. It's total hyperbole to say Julien isn't on a leash as he's entering his 5th year, with an upgraded team and a weaker division, Bergevin has already stated he has high expectations. If Julien doesn't get the team out of its funk, he'll be leaving. He is on the hot seat.
I never said he was. What I said is that's what it would take for Julien to be fired because Bergevin has a history of patience. Based off last year's playoffs and our hot start, we'd have to completely implode for Julien to get fired. You're dreaming if you think he's on the hot seat. Look at Vancouver. That's a team whose coach may be looking for a new job. We've had a string of awful games but we're nowhere near firing our coach.
How is the Habs offense/game without the Vancouver games?
You can't just ignore Vancouver because they played like garbage. That same garbage team went on to obliterate Ottawa, who promptly beat us and Toronto. We also decimated Edmonton earlier in the season yet Toronto lost to them both times only to outplay us. Basically, bad stretches are going to happen. If it continues for the long term, then we can begin looking at Julien. Right now, there is zero chance a coaching change is even being considered.
