Honestly I think Montreal takes a step back here.
Julien is a good coach.
Corsi For: 2nd
High Danger Corsi For: 1st
Expected Goals For: 1st
Goals For %: 1st
GF/60: 1st
GA/60: 2nd
Shooting Percentage: 8.66% (12th)
Save Percentage: .933 (2nd)
Problem has been special teams.
PP has been poor, and PK has been poor. But give me the team that has the team playing elite at 5v5 any day of the week.
If I'm Treliving I'd be checking in with Julien to see if he'd be willing to come here as head coach, and Ward can either leave or head back to being an associate coach if he wants.

He's coached 19 games since being named the head coach. Would be incredibly bush league to fire him now. Why would anyone else ever want to come here?

I think it's more that there is a big contingent of people (myself included) who don't think he should have ever been head coach to start with after that performance in the playoffs, and his poor coaching has continued into this season.
