Habs did a good job in the first game.

Yesterday, Bruins outclassed them by a mile... if it's not for Price this could have easily ended 8-1.

Agreed - They were sleep walking out of a bye that first game IMO.

It is too early to be talking about firing Julien? I mean, in my opinion it should be Bergevin because the team is constructed so poorly, but at what point do you take a look at the effort being given night in and night out and put some of that on the coach?
- Nuclear Wedgina

While results under Julien have definetely been subpar, as you mentionned, Bergevin is the one to blame for the poor team we've been playing this season.

As long as Bergevin isn't fired, Julien (and his 5 year contract) is safe imo.

Say....

Are you related to that asswipe Atomic Wedgie? You guys kinda look similar.... I'm not sure why though.... can't put my finger on it....

I flipped on the Habs Broons game last night and they had the Habs Centers list for the game

I don't know man.. Julien's "ask them, not me" comment, when a report suggested that the team may be quitting on this season, doesn't sound like someone that cares too much.

Ooooo next step in that evolution is the ol' Ronny Wilson.

It goes:

Stand up for players
->
Make the players stand up for themselves (CJ)
->
Blame the players and ensure you try to absolve yourself


(Although I think Ronny boy started in the third stage)

I guess I'm the only Uncle Leo fan on the whole planet.

I think it had more to do about having the players be accountable for themselves than him not caring.

Julien is a fine coach, his team is just dreadfully bad.... more so than most anticipated.

Also, Randy Carlyle..

I recall his famous " I don't know, they practice one way, and then play another way" comment.. That was gold, Jerry, gold.

Meh...

Should still defend his team, no?

Similar to the leaf centers from a couple of years ago.
Once they sign JT....theyll look better

I love Julien and what he did here in Boston. It's kind of crazy to think that he is the all time winningest (?, anyway you get the point) coach in Boston history, but is it time to start wondering if the game has passed him by?

You just have to bring a man down when he's flying high don't you

Let me just enjoy my regular season moment

Pastrnak-Begeron-Marchand is such a disgusting line.

things may go downhill then.

At some point we might.

Until he's been given a team that's considered better than what he has now, I don't see him going away anytime soon.

It would be unfair to fire him today imo.

I think it's 1/3 disgusting.

Bergeron and Pastrnak are awesome.

He has. And on numerous occasions since the beginning of the season.

I don't blame him for being fed up with the situation.

Nah. Every coach gets sick of his players performance. It happens.

I agree to an extent, but he clearly had a problem here and with his penchant for refusing to play young players in a league gearing toward just that isn't necessarily ideal. We lead the league in rookie scoring (or we did last I checked). Those are all players he would never have played in the situations they are being played. That being said, they are all a year later in development, but I'm not so sure he'd get what Cassidy is getting out of this team.

We'll never know really.... in the end I think his overall results as a coach should give him the benefit of the doubt for a little while.

For a little while...
