Schuey popping an old man chub, pill free for the first time in 20+ years

Lol

 

[Solo]

Can't wait to see the team play under Julien. No more "da system", no more DD worship. A clean slate.

 

[Pikma]

We'll need to arrange a secret backup thread to move to when the playoff thread gets napalmed. We'll make a OT Community thread about something innocuous no one would click on, like Canadian TV shows or an Ottawa GAF social meetup.

Everyone who roots for an Atlantic playoff team get your alt accounts set up now.

If we do get the thread nuked I promise I'll risk my account and do this

It'll be for the greater good

Fuuuuuuccckkkk yooooooooouuuuu

Spoiler

It's true though.

 

[Line_HTX]

Julien can coach the Habs well again if we're going by the teams who fired their coach and got better afterwards.

 

[r3n4ud]

Perfect timing as well. With the week off, he can practise systems and whatnot right off the bat.

I had to use you guys as an example, a Winnipeg GAF meetup thread would be so unlikely and obviously shady every mod would flock to it.

 

[yyzjohn]

Pretty predictable in the line of coaching. Pretty sure I had a list of future Habs coaches and Julien was on there with Roy. Patrick is next.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Mike Therrien must go to Vegas.

With whom?

It's not really a secret when it's posted out in the open.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

With whom?

Exactly. They're not training before Friday.

 

[ActStriker]

well that escalated quickly.

 

[r3n4ud]

Mike Therrien must go to Vegas.



With whom?

Assistant coaches

 

[CreeperBlocks]

According to Tim and Sid, The Habs press conference is tomorrow

 

[Line_HTX]

Who scheduled Montreal's bye week? They're a genius.

 

[Silexx]

Very important for Julien to connect with Radulov and other Russians. Flynn could be of assistance.

Yoooooooo

 

[Kave_Man]

Fuuuccck give me Habs-Broons, Leafs-Sens playoff series.

This community will get nuked.

I'll be sad for the 2 weeks when you spit hot venom at me.

 

[Foggy]

I thought I heard orgasmic moaning from somewhere

 

[Zombie James]

The potential first round and second round matchups.

Of golf?

 

[Line_HTX]

Shamelessly lewd.

 

[Foggy]

Shamelessly lewd.

Red's shaking!

Dare I say, quivering!

 

[ElephantShell]

Yoooooooo

lol that's good shit right there

 

[Kifimbo]

Thinking about it, this is similar to what happen with Patrick Roy, but in reverse (they fired the coach instead of trading the goalie).

Something broke the night Carey Price stared at Therrien after being pulled. Since then, Price hasn't been the same.

 

[Foggy]

So as someone newer to the sport, explain to me why Julien was fired the first time and why this makes everyone deliriously optimistic. Poor talent in his first tenure?

 

[Cake Boss]

My battle time will be taken up Dopeys bullshit.

 

[sirronoh]

Crazy day. Good luck Habs fans.

 

[yyzjohn]

It was a long time ago when he was the Habs coach. First coaching job in 2003. Team didn't have the talent back then. Julien then went on to win a Cup with the Bruins so he's proven he can win.


He actually had a winning record as coach of the Habs. No idea why Gainey fired him, must have been another French coach he wanted more.

Ownership wanted another French coach over a winning coach at the time?

Hard to remember what he was like, but the talent level was pretty awful, lead by Mike Ribeiro.

My delirious optimism right now just stems from the fact that Therrien is gone.

 

[yyzjohn]

Well, he didn't win the Cup with the Habs so ultimately he's a loser.

 

[yyzjohn]

Here's the article from 2006 when Julien was fired. Sounds eerily similar to this season. Hot start, they hit a slump and he was canned

[Sanjuro]

Claude is dead to me. I mean, he was dead to me before I knew him, so now he is double dead.

Good luck, Claude.

Tony's thoughts:

Tony Marinaro‏ @TonyMarinaro

In Claude Julien the Montreal Canadiens get themselves an experienced Stanley Cup winning Coach. Top 5 Coach in the NHL. And, he's bilingual

Obviously we're grooming you to be on the inside for us. Like the morally flexible cop who hassles and stalks the crew of roguish jewel thieves before the third act reveal that they've all been working together the whole time.

I can work with that.

Yes I'm Clooney, you fucks can argue about who gets to be Pitt and who has to be Scott Caan

Wow Tony, he's bilingual???!!! You don't say.

You better not hurt him.

 

[F0rneus]

This is the greatest Valentine Day of my life I think. Dehors Therrien estie! Bergevin you DID IT!

 

[Pikma]

The bad guys always win

 

[dankir]

Okay so I don't remember when CJ was our coach? Post Mario Tremblay right? So when Koivu had the C and we missed the playoffs a lot right?

 

[yyzjohn]

This is the 2nd time he's replaced Therrien as coach in Montreal. Habs missed the season he replaced Therrien, but then made the playoffs the next two seasons.

The last time Julien was coach, Mike Riberio was a Hab. That was a terrible team too

Mike Riberio, the same guy who is in Nashville's Farm Team right now

Fuck so it was the Dark Ages..... so Uhhh Bruins Gaf how do you feel about this?

 

[Holiday]

With the shackles off, Desharnais will now prove to be a true 1C.

 

[dankir]

 

[Red_Man]

Hopefully this means Desharnais never plays again. I can't wait to see what he does with this team, the Bruins were top 5 in scoring the last 5 seasons excluding this one. What a day, bless you Bergevin.

Last desperate move by Bergevin. If it doesn't work, he is gone.

Also, Carey Price might be responsible for this.

I feel this too, the stare down, teams structure resulting in him having to be super man, his recent slump and the meeting with Bergevin and the teams leaders?

 

[Line_HTX]

Sanjuro really loves to slabber ketchup all over his food. Shocking.

 

[Red_Man]

Markov has been on the team for the first time Therrien was fired and replaced by Julien and now too :lol
