Julien was just fired as coach of the Boston Bruins last week. Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin made the announcement Tuesday, two days into his team's bye week.

The Canadiens are the NHL's worst team since the start of January and lost 4-0 to the Bruins on Sunday. They next play Saturday against Winnipeg.

Therrien was in his fifth season of his second tour of duty as Canadiens coach. They missed the playoffs last season after goaltender Carey Price injured his knee in November.

Julien returns to Montreal, where he coached from 2003-2006. He won the Stanley Cup with the Bruins in 2011 and was the longest-tenured coach until last week.

 

Enjoy the double pay Claude.

Didn't Claude replace Therrien before in Montreal?

Not sure.

 

Come to find out, the Bruins okay'd this, so they don't have to pay him.

 

Sort of like when you pay a b1tch alimony and she gets married again (some women are dumb)

I don't know that the Bruins don't still have to pay Claude. I think that they are still paying him some, but not all of that contract through next year. I have not seen anything that absolves them of all of his pay.

 

Oh, and...

 

This is the second time the Canadiens have fired Therrien and replaced him with Julien. The same thing happened 46 games into the 2002-03 season. Julien ended up coaching there from 2003 to '06.

What kind of wacky sh1t is that? pro teams rarely hire back the same guy to coach, let alone twice!!

 

Claude went 12 and 16 after taking over in 2003

Pro Sports teams often look at retreads. When you are Montreal, they have an even smaller pool of retreads because they want the coach to speak French.
