Sucks but bound to happen.

 

[overlords]

2 year extension sounds kind of weird, no?

 

[Saint Patrick]

There things about Therrien I actually liked, if he would just drop the obvious favoritism I would be ok with this. But he's stubborn so doubt that will happen.

 

[Whitesnake]

Sucks but bound to happen.

Frankly....it's an awesome news. Not because I'm a fan, but because it's not 3 or 4 years as I would have expected. Not that it changes a whole lot as when it's time to fire....you fire. But at least they might be even less hesitant to fire him with such a short contract.

I mean, you don't fire a guy after such a performance. So 2-years is really not that bad of a news.

 

[Price My Man Crush]

The previous rumor was 4 years...I'm totally fine with 2 years.

Why does it suck? Are you allergic to winning or something?

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

The team has greatly improved overall since he's came on and we've had good success, he definitely deserves and extension.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Only two years? Count your blessings.

Gionta and Therrien were both a part of this team during this run. I guess they're both invaluable in equal amounts regardless of any and all evidence to the contrary.

Does the length really matter on a coach's contract? These guys get fired at the drop of a hat.

 

[peate]

I knew he's get extended after a good playoff run. I'm more curious about who will get Gallant's spot and maybe re-vamp our anemic PP.

 

[Wats]

2 years is good. I was dreading a 4-5 year type deal.

Gionta was more of a liability

Our game system wasn't half-bad and gave us 2 solid series victory.. So I'm willing to cut more slack to Therry

Was coming to write this, but not use the word awesome.

 

[oohhkev]

im happy its a 2 year contract as well. though there's no real job security for therrien as he can get fired at any point, knowing that he'll only get his contract renewed if he keeps the team sharp will keep him more motivated than knowing he gets paid for 4 regardless of his performance.

 

[Draft]

If we can get a GOOD tactical coach to replace Gallant, it's not such a bad thing.

 

[Tyson]

Like him or not I think he has done some good work. I have no issue with him at the helm.

Go watch that last game again and see our long-bomb transition get hilariously shut down. Therrien played into Coach V's pocket. The teams themselves are really close, but no way should we have been embarrassed like that in an elimination game.

we actually had a pretty solid game until the R's goal, and they just shut down like a nun.

We had something like 4 scoring chances all game.

 

[puckeater]

If a bridge contract is good enough for the players...keep proving your worth and get paid accordingly. That's refreshing for Habs fans, no?

Nope, the Rangers were completly dominating possession and scoring chances.

 

[FlyingKostitsyn]

1, 2, 4 or 8 years... It doesn't really matter. When coaches go, its usually because they are fired before their term is up. We knew Bergevin wanted to keep him, I hope nobody is surprised.

And then, Emelin.
