Bs fan, genuinely asking: did he deserve to be fired? If so, why?
Thanks.
He lost his locker room when he benched and healthy scratched Tatar IMO but he always seemed to coach not to loose instead of coaching to win.

He went back to being coached by a guy who refuses to play him more then 13 mins a game
Grundman was before my era, and I hated Houle but we know he had to clear salary, Bergevin has had free reign for the better part of a decade, I think its closer than it should be when were talking worst gm all time.
Honestly, Julien didn't have much to work with last 4 years. Special teams though is inexcusable.
Well, it works for some of our competitors sadly :-(Nah....Burrows will coach to his strength....synchronized diving.
It's waiting for his extra 1 mil per
Here's a question that's gnawing at me.
It was generally accepted that several or all of the moves that MB did in the summer, were to provide Julien with a team to his liking.
Now that Ducharme is head coach (albeit interim), will he be handcuffed by those moves? For instance, he might have preferred to have a top 4 PMD instead of Edmundson. Or a more experienced C in his top 6.
Pretty sad but for a guy who talked tough at last year's season ending pressers, he put himself in an impossible situation. He needed to deliver and didn't -- and what's going on now is no coincidence. I'm wondering if Ducharme will be giving him as much rope.
hard to tell if its a noose or one of his silk scarves1:12 pm and I only find out about this now. It speaks volumes about how little I care anymore. Is it just me or is Bergevin’s noose getting tighter?
Oh ffs please just let me enjoy this for 5 mins man
Maybe that's what his issue was.
I hope laraque tweets Eichel to montreal next
I think there are enough pieces to make it work. Mete has been thrown under the bus for a long time, but with a different approach I think him and Weber are a good second pairing. Edmundson-Petry works well together. Chiarot-Romanov could be great to help provide some stability for Romanov and allow him to play more offensively. There are enough pieces that I think the team can look more or less however he wants it to look.
On offence, you might be right. I don't think there was any top-6 option that would have made sense in the off-season though.
Jaffy just experienced serious wind shear.
Your Danault take is marksman accurateHe did have much more to work with to start this season -- he had the benefit of players that he liked from the off season.
Julien showed an abysmal inability to take tough decisions -- he should have been benching some of the glaring bumblers like Chiarot and not sit the likes of Lehkonen -- he also should have been more proactive about PD -- he should have been earning his minutes and deployments. It appeared as if PD could do whatever he wanted, he was never demoted. Using PD in a 3 on 3 situation? Julien had just lost it.
Ehlers is definitely someone I would welcome if Habs acquire him.
The best part about this is that it means they think Ducharme is ready to be a HC. They must value him a lot.
