The Habs were 31-19-8 when they fired Therrien
The Senators were 11-11-5 when they fired MacLean
Also I get pretty annoyed when people pretend Gulutzan's record isn't being propped up by the fact that he has the most dominant 3v3 team in the NHL, who literally win games in OT where coaches do nothing but send out their six "fastest" players over-and-over. I mean just look at the above list and all the OTLs/SOLs for every above fired coach, whereas Gulutzan has had no issue with too many one point games.

Their record, in regulation, under Gulutzan"
41-44-23 regular season
0 - 3 - 1 in the playoffs.
Their OT heroics (they are 18-5 in OT and SOs) )have been carrying them, and disguising a rather lackluster overall performance.
There is no way in hell that this team should be under .500
