I wasn't really talking about coaching. I think MT is a junk coach but my biggest gripe has always been with Bergevin.
Yeah we did make it to the 3rd round under MB, but we did that in 2010 too.
I was traumatized by Pierre Gauthier and Jacques Martin...
A nightmare that couldn't end soon enough for me and many..
I didn't trust Gauthier to trade Subban which he was ready to do...
I shudder to think what we would have got back.
Bergy at-least got us a good return ...
Bergy, i got to admit hasn't done a bad job in comparison IMHO.
Ya he goes diving for bargains,but that's no different than what we do in the draft 1 thru 7.....
He did manage to fish out Biron / Phillip Danault/Radu.....that's pretty good, way better than some draft years
where we had all 7 picks bust....
He had the guts to go get Vanek, even tho it didn't end well...but he went for it ...
He had the guts to trade Subban...and never got swindled ...
He picked the best french speaker coach available with experience ,as a rookie GM ,who gave him a good chance to get his feet wet....
Therrien did that for him....I mean we haven't been finishing last place every year etc....
I just think it's nearing the time Bergy got to drop the hammer and shift gears behind the bench ,
if this slide continues ,due to the same slide happened last year.
Claude Julien is 56 years old...So nearing retirement age.
3-4 years to finish off with the Habs? I wouldn't mind it ...
He did almost win 2 Cups with the Bruins...
Won 1 and came with in 1 game of winning another...
Better guy in the dressing room with the players ....
I think that's what the room needs now...
I feel so bad , they hated Martin got him fired, then Habs hire back Martin(Therrien)..
Same type of coach, wears hard on the players...
