The Canadiens are not underperforming as much as the Flames are.
A bit surprising to say the least.

This is shocking to me. It's like their GM read too many press clippings of how great their offseason was as to me that roster is only good not great. They don't have a single elite forward or defenseman so while they hit a bit of a rough spot I feel they were at least on course to make the playoffs which is a step forward in the development of the team.

So, teams do change up their coaches mid-season?

Bizarre, thought the Habs were overachieving.
Love to have Julien here with Ward as an Asst, probably not possible but hey.

Even more bizarre is Alexander Burrows is coming in to be an assistant. Just another reason to hate the Habs now.

Must’ve been the combination of Domi issues with lack of communication with other players over the past couple years.

On a side note, new coach looks strangely familiar...like a former boy Band member.

Yup. Nothing new with that.

The equivalent here would be sacking Ward with less than a years worth of games and giving Ray Edwards the reigns who has even less NHL HC experience...is that something you want to see?

Alex Burrows as in Mr. Bitey, or is there another person with that name who isn't a psychopath?
