YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2009 This kind of thing always strikes me as dictatorial. The Habs roster is riddled with players who are notorious floaters, underperformers, and/or lacking in work ethic. Hard workers on that team are in the minority. No coach was going to motivate this pathetic roster. And of course, now the guy thats responsible for putting together a pathetic team is coaching it. Good luck.

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted March 10, 2009 This reminds me of when Jersey did it a few games before the end of the season in 2000. I'm sure Montreal is hoping for a similar result. In 2000, Lamoriello fired coach Robbie Ftorek with just nine games left in the season. Assistant coach Larry Robinson took over, and the Devils defeated Dallas to win the Stanley Cup. In other Montreal news, Carboneau was interviewed about his plans after coaching and replied, "Well, the Kostitsyn boys say they know some good fellas who might be interested in hiring casual helpers for a little under the table money to tide me over till Quenville or Granato are fired again". Didn't Lou do that with the Devils last season too, though? And we all know how that turned out...embarrassed in five games in the first round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
