Nothing new here EB, the coach will always be the first to go as you cant fire 24 players. As a DG, if you're not ready to do it at the right moment, you will get fired with your headcoach.
Go Habs Go!

Jupiter,
We all know that what you say is true, but it galls me on some level when the coach is fired and the GM gets a pass and a lease on life at least until the next coach can't win with the same players. I think Julien had a little bit of a raw deal. While the 3 consecutive losses to Ottawa were embarrassing, they were close games and tough losses. I feel badly for Claude. I just hope he is being paid through the end of his contract.

They always get pay till the end of the contract, unless they sign to another team. Now for Julien, I am among those who believe he is out of tune with the feel of his room. He probably under estimate the growing frustration coming from his veterans and leaders. He stubbornly stick to his philosophy of using 4 lines equally, refusing to go with his real guns when required. Then he took Tatar off the line-up, from there it was bye-bye amigo.
Normally, when the word "rebuild" (as it was 6 years after Bergevin was hired) is uttered, it is implicit that the preceding GM screwed up or the team won a championship and lost some of its stars due their demands for raises being unsatisfiable due to the Salary Cap. In the case of Blowhard Bergevin, he was his own incompetent predecessor and his teams rarely won a playoff series if they got in at all. After nine years of his mismanagement, every night the Habs play is starless. Who among them would be on the first line with any contending team?
One can only wonder what dirt Bergevin has on Molson to keep his job after so many years of failure.

Maybe Bergevin accidentally walked in on Molson as he was getting blown by 3 girls from Euphoria?

Different Coach, same Results...
“The Canadiens led 2-0 after the first period and 3-1 midway through the second before the Jets rallied to send the Canadiens (9-6-4) to their fourth straight loss (0-2-2).”
Maybe the whole Team should quit....or Get Fired...

I always thought that Price although a good Goalie was very overrated, in fact I thought that he was the most overrated player in the NHL, I would not be surprised to see him traded before the deadline that is if they can find any takers for a 33 year old declining player with $10.5 million per year salary.
3.13 and .888 is not what you want from a #1 goalie making $10.5 million annually. I just don't see any takers, unless Montreal eats a big part of the money owed and takes a cap hit. It's kind of the same problem that the Yankees have with the Giancarlo Stanton contract. The dude can't stay healthy even at age 29-30. As he gets older you wonder how many games he will actually play. Unlike Price, Stanton has actually looked good when he has played, but he is brittle a player as I have seen, possibly excepting Jacoby Ellsbury, who was basically paid $140 million over 7 years for 3 healthy seasons and 4 seasons of being on the IL and not playing at all. It was money for nothing:
Price being in the 3rd year of a 8 yr $84 mil must worry a lot of people. His 3.13 GAA & .888 saves kind of sucks for any starter, he is being dropped like a hot potato in the draft league I am in.
Usually stats like that are a sign of mental midget status, meaning that when he gives a couple goals early he tends to lose focus and the floodgates open. It's the same thing in baseball when a pitcher gives up a couple of long homers, gets rattled, starts losing command and hits the showers in the 3rd inning. You tend to see this a lot with younger pitchers, so that stat is surprising to me because Price is a 14 year veteran goalie and you would not expect that from a veteran goalie.
Could also be a sign of playing with a nagging injury.

the guys are really in a ruth we outplayed the jets last night but just can seem to win one anymore
are weekness at center position really pops out when were playing 4 on 4 and even worse in overtime 3on 3 that is where the talented players from other teams take advantage of us
we have not yet win one in overtime even ottawas young talent is too much for the habs with Chabot Stutzle and Tkachuk wich by the way should be a habs player with good scouting
we never seem to know who to put on the ice in those situations because all are center men lack puck contol it is by far are weekest position
