I don't mind Therrien yelling at Briere, PK etc. Call it "bullying" if you want, but what's the coach supposed to do after the dozenth time of pointing out a lazy Briere play or costly PK turnover? Hand out participation ribbons and say "don't worry, you'll get it right next time"? Sheesh. People are so fragile these days....A coach can't & shouldn't constantly be a prick, but they can't be coddling Mr. Nice Guys all the time, either.

If you're going to go off on players for mistakes, or even perceived mistakes, you'd better damn well be prepared to dole out compliments when that's warranted as well. Therrien is generally incapable of that.
This is what makes him not only a poor coach, but a crappy person as well.
remember when DD went down and Alex had his great Center break out
MT said it was his expert coaching that allowed it.

Danny B was on AC last night, did anyone see this? Did they ask him about his relationship with the clown coach?

There is a generations clash nowadays. In every aspects of life.
Things that were accepted in the past, are no more today.
Different brands of persons.
Thanks..............this just reinforces, that MB seemed scared of the bully coach also...as his boss, he provided MT with Danny, and MT went out of his way, to not make it work.............MT put his feelings ahead of the team on an ongoing basis...........just ask PK Subban.Yes they did. Nothing new said. They were not on the same wavelength for sure.
MT never wanted to have Brière with the Habs. And it showed.

Brière was washed up when he came over to the Habs. Really, who cares?

That has NOTHING to do with holding players to account. Especially when he often held the wrong player to account. So your condone bullying if it makes people feel bad. Pretty much the definition of a bullying. WELL PLAYED Takes a certain kind of person to in one instance condemn bullying then applaud it because it did exactly what bullying does.where to start really.
I came to therrien's defence on many occasions, and I understand it rubs people the wrong way. Bullying is something we should all condemn, and his alleged interventions look clearly more like bullying than authoritarian coaching. That being said , I decided to take time and go back , read a few pages in a few threads and I can say that there is a certain level of hypocrisy in this thread. Whether its about the ''love story'' between DD and MT, or the simple fact that most of us wanted briere further down the lineup (something he probably wasn't happy about).
These guys are millionaires, its their job. As much as I'm disappointed that things got out of hands, I'm happy with anything that did not get out of hand. Subban, biere, DD, name it ... if they were slacking a game I'm happy the rest of their week was uncomfortable. I couldn't care less. Being an A-hole cost him his job, but I see nothing wrong in holding players accountable.
If therrien set someone on fire you would find an excuse for it.Farts are funny. Who doesn't get a laugh from a fart. The old pull my finger is one of the oldest gags in the world. If you ever watch Naked gun one of the biggest laughs is when Franks mic is still on and he lets one rip.
MT was probably an *******. Lots of people in life are.
Would love to see the quote for that. Get serious. What's even worse is the following poster that reacts to this post like it's an actual news item...
Yeah but no matter how bergevin defenders bully and insult other posters and treat them like crap we still let you guys stick around. Therrien should be in jail for his abusive behaviour. Compare that against some of the witch hunts going on for less.But lots of people appalled at his bullying behavior having no problems bullying people on this board, calling them names, being piece of ****s to them etc... MT is an ******* for telling Briere no one respects him, but posters are good people for saying the same thing to other posters?
.
You can be a mean person but as long as it's not personal...if my boss were to say "no one here respects you or wants to work with you" i can guarantee you he'd get fired, and I work for a billion dollar company just like Therrien does. That might get a pass in smaller companies, but bigger ones want the best well-rounded people that have a good attitude, not *******s that simply qualify for the job.
