What happens if the players says "it's coach"..lol
You don't think Price will do that? He can't be two pleased giving up 3-4 goals ever game. Weber would back him up.

Reporter: Did the leadership of the team have a private meeting with Bergevins sans Therrien being present?
Pacioretty: We talk everyday! Lolz!

What did you expect him to say? "Yeah, we're growing tired of the ol' oaf behind the bench and would like to see a change"?
This is the same guy that lied through his teeth time and time again saying he had no problems with pk. Come on

MONTREAL GAZETTE
Canadiens fans who were hoping that coach Michel Therrien will get fired are out of luck.
General manager Marc Bergevin met with the team for about 20 minutes before Thursday’s practice in Brossard — which was run by Therrien — and then gave his entire coaching staff a vote of confidence when he addressed the media after practice.
Bergevin’s message to his players was simple: Don’t play not to lose, play to win.”
When Bergevin was asked if he was willing to go as far as confirming that Therrien and his coaching staff would not be fired for the remainder of the season — no matter what happens going forward — the GM said: “Yes, I’m going this far.”
He then added: “It’s on me … it’s on me.”
By putting all the pressure on himself, Bergevin is obviously hoping to take some pressure off Therrien and his players, who have been struggling to score goals while squeezing their sticks tightly. The Canadiens are 4-16-1 during their last 21 games while averaging less than two goals per game and have fallen to 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings and out of a playoff spot.

So here we are little more than 1 year later ,since Jan 9th to Feb 8th we got 5 wins in our last 15 games
We have been shutout 2 game in a row..
3 goal in last 4 games...
If we lose to freaking Arizona the NHL's worst team ... a couple days after being embarrassed by Colorado, the NHL's next worst team ... perhaps that's a message being sent to management. MB may have been trying to head that off.... MB isn't an idiot, he knows there is a rift in the room, he's asking his leaders how bad it is, and where the biggest issues lay.
Julien will coach this team. It's just a matter of time.
Julien could be hired by the Panthers or the Golden Knights tomorrow.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on that.
Guys, he's not going to fire Therrien. It's not going to happen. The only hope any of us have is if Molson has enough and figures it's been 5 years with no improvement, and cleans house.
The Bergevin era set this team back at least 5-8 years. Price's best years are behind him. Markov is going to retire, possibly this offseason given his ex wife died and he is taking custody of the kids. Pacioretty's cheap years are over. Weber is declining. Galchenyuk's development is stunted.
It's done. They need to clean house and whoever comes in is going to have a lot of work to do. That's a very sad fact.

He somehow survived the biggest collapse in this franchise's history. He's not two losses away from being gone.

I take the Bergy over the Gainey era....
Berg gotta make his first change (firing) if the Habs continue to falter...
He shocked the hockey world trading Subban....It won't be a shock to me he wakes up (if we got 1 in 4 in the next 5 )and fires the coach...
Even he gotta know that 4 wins in 21 games and 5 or 6 wins in 20 games a year later after making changes in the offseason, you gotta rid the coach ...
There's no doubt MB is the best Habs GM in a while though that may speak to the quality of GM's we had.
Then against there's some who still defend Gauthier
Gauthier wasn't that good but he wasn't that bad either. At least he didn't make franchise cripplig move like McDonagh for Gomez or the rumored Lecavalier trade.
Didn't like him but at least he didn't do too much damage.
There’s been no shortage of blame for dealing McDonagh — Montreal’s scouting department (for not recognizing how talented he was), then-GM Bob Gainey (for pulling the trigger) — but the Edmonton Journal’s Jim Matheson has a new one:
Pierre Gauthier.
Gauthier was Gainey’s assistant at the time and eventually ascended to the GM gig.
Here’s the skinny.
The trade of McDonagh to the Rangers to get Scott Gomez came on Bob Gainey’s watch when he was the GM. This should tarnish Gainey’s reputation for knowing who can play in the NHL and who can’t, but several sources say Gauthier’s fingerprints were really all over this one.
“Bob’s daughter had died (swept overboard at sea while working on a training ship) before this and he was letting Pierre do a lot of the work. Pierre didn’t like McDonagh, for some reason. Saw him play in the world juniors and didn’t like him. The scouts loved McDonagh, though. When he was traded, they couldn’t believe it,” said a source close to the scene.
