HabsRuleForever Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 So let's have some fun & use our imagination (because this will never happen). If you are MB who do you want as your coach? I'm firmly behind Therrien(which he is) or OMG Roy just became available (although he would probably want my job too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis22 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Neither . But since I have to choose one of the two Ill stick with MT because I know what we're getting wth him . With PR it seems he wants control of everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaas Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Of those 3 its Muller in a heartbeat. Of course the poll said if I am MB who do i pick. Frankly, after the Subban Fiasco, I no longer have even a glimmer of hope in MB. I think he's lost the plot. One would assume that he wouldnt touch Roy with a 10 ft pole (what sane GM would?) but who knows any more with MB. Im sure Roy would love to come here. Im not sure we, as fans, would love him.

BigTed3 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Giant NO to Patrick Roy. Giant NO to Bob Hartley. They are two coaches who are equally as weak as Therrien. I honestly don't know who's better or worse, but I would not fire Therrien to hire either one of those guys, simply because it just sets us back time-wise even further while that guy gets a chance to fail. Of the three men listed, it's Muller by a landslide, not because he's a great coach but because he's miles ahead of the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs_93 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Muller by a wide, wide margin. Guys like Therrien, Roy, and Hartley are unfit for the NHL and provide no positives to their teams whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabsAlways Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 You're a pretty bad coach when MT is a better choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstStar Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 people thought MT was stubborn... He has nothing on Roy. I grew up watching Roy, I idolized him. let's be honest, he stepped down because he didn't get his way in Colorado. He's a bit of a premadonna. It's his way or the highway, in this case he took the highway. I think with some experience under his belt he's more interesting to me as head coach of the habs. But even as a coach, he's high maintenance, and I say this with love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habberwacky Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Love Patrick because you know what you get. Like Muller alot and hope he gets a shot here, but purely speculation as he has never been a head coach so I am the lone MT vote as I know hat he has done in his tenure, but while I agree with him staying this year I may have a different on at some point in the season. I would want Therrien to start this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis22 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 As much as I loved Roy as a goalie for the Habs but this is the 2 nd time he's quit on a team. When MT's tenure is over , sooner the better, find some young guy who is more in tune with hockey today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him to coach here would be a disaster imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Here's a piece by Travis Yost for TSN, with a link to the article at the bottom... but first, before you click on the link, a couple of excerpts: - "[The coach's past work] is why front offices should pay just as much attention to key performance indicators and general underlying numbers as they do the wins and losses column" - "[The coach], it should be pointed out, was not expected to craft a winner in just his first year on the job. The standings certainly made it seem as though he did. But beneath the unsustainable top-five shooting and save percentages was really an exercise in getting speed bagged on a nightly basis. The [team] relied frequently on goaltender bail-outs and lightning-quick counterattacks to win the goal battle. And for some time, it worked." - "The problem is that in today’s NHL, those teams cannot sustain success. The talent margins are just too tight league-wide and teams that are frequently getting out-shot and playing sustained shifts in the defensive zone will generally lose long-term." - "Nothing changed. The team frequently looked for explosive, Hail Mary-esque stretch passes out of the defensive zone. They played the puck off of the boards with an annoying frequency, with seemingly no target or strategy in mind. Offensively, they were often left to one-and-done attacks." - "You can certainly try and apportion at least some of the team’s developmental and progression woes on their player development and front office groups. Maybe [the coach] wasn’t equipped with enough talented depth. Maybe [he] wasn’t given every possible asset he needed to try and move this team up and over the hill. But, at the end of the day, this was a roster that had plenty of individual scoring talent and the requisite level of goaltending competency you need to at least be competitive. The problem is, [the coach] never took them beyond that. In some cases, he kept his team below the cut-line." If you haven't guessed by now, the article is about Patrick Roy and his decision to leave the Avalanche, as well as the surprise that he wasn't fired first. But if you go back and read those quotes (and I deliberately took Roy's name out), this word-for-word describes the abysmal job Michel Therrien has done in Montreal as well. It's eerily similar to what Roy has done in Colorado. A very good first year, much to a lot of critics' surprise, but with indications that the system had flaws, followed by a couple of years of being outshot and out-chanced and being bailed out by goaltending. It's clear to many that Roy should have been fired long ago, and the same can be said of Michel here. We need to get away from MT and we need to stay away from Patrick for the same reasons. http://www.tsn.ca/roy-fortunate-to-choose-own-exit-strategy-1.547687 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26NCounting Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Muller would be great, should have hired him long ago!! But then again a bag of pucks would be better than Therrein. For the love of god please fire him already!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Could Therrien do the honorable thing and follow Roy's lead... resignation? Roy left because he wanted more power, not because he recognized he was doing a poor job. Therrien doesn't need more power, because his GM already does everything he wants anyways. Therrien doesn't want Semin, he's gone. He doesn't want Sekac or Diaz or Briere or PAP? Bye bye. He dislikes Subban... adios, even if you're a top 2 D man in the league. Therrien gets whatever he wants already, so why should he leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I expect Roy to be unemployed until Quebec is announced as getting a franchise. At that point he'll be named President/GM/Coach/Assistant and possibly back up goalie.

BigTed3 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well the votes could easily have been real votes. I get that some people like Therrien, and they're entitled to. But currently, there's a confidence vote in Therrien of under 10%. That's pretty darn low. Doesn't say a lot for the fans' belief he can get the job done.

ramcharger440 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 It is kind of a no brainer to vote for Muller. He is well liked has some time behind the bench seems to like a style of play we would all like to see here. He has a great pedigree as a cup winner and former captain of the team, his proven special team results make him seem that much more appealing. Would he work out as a head coach in this town? hard to say it is a tough place to coach everyone and I do mean everyone will second guess every move he ever makes. I would still like to see him get a shot with our current lineup I think he could take them pretty far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
