Well they did win the Conference in 2007-2008. As for winning the cup, well no Canadian team won it since Montreal did back in 1993. If you think of it, among the 6 Canadian teams(not counting Winnipeg for obvious reasons), only Vancouver and maybe Ottawa did better than Montreal over the past 15 years or so.
Canadiens fire martin; cunneyworth named interim head coach
- Thread starter The Oracle
- Start date
They are losing because they have a dumb french-speaking GM who traded for KaberleIs Cunneyworth still the Montreal coach ?
If yes, it may not be for much longer. Another loss last night to Chicago(5-1), at least it was on the road. It is obvious Montreal is losing because the coach cannot speak french.
They are losing because of the bad moves done by two GM's -- one French, one English.They are losing because they have a dumb french-speaking GM who traded for Kaberle
Maybe Toronto could use a Bilingual coach. They have much more success in the NHL on average, then English only speaking coaches.Is Cunneyworth still the Montreal coach ?

English and Italian.Maybe Toronto could use a Bilingual coach.
English and French obviously if they want to win. French speaking coaches have been much more successful recently.English and Italian.
OH ! I can hear the them now. 'fire da coach', I wonder if the owner will make another public statement where he throws Cunneyworth under the bus. 'Eh, don't worry he is not here for long'.
The coach cannot 'par la vu' which is why Price let four by him tonight, Winnipeg 4 Montreal 0.
... really, they lost 4-0 to Winnipeg ?

Not a big surprise, only Boston and Philly have a better record in that conference over the last 10 games. A hot goalie can do wonders.... really, they lost 4-0 to Winnipeg ?
John Tortorella won a Cup a few years back.English and French obviously if they want to win.

The dumbest part of this is, they did not even wait for Cunneyworth to coach a game. They were up in arms from the first minute. After the whine and the great media moment from the owner, I wanted Cunneyworth to win a few in a row and then I would sit back and watch how the fans, media and owner handle the egg on their faces.Quebec nationalists plan protest at Canadiens game

Roy is the man for the job.
So the date set for the protest is on the January 7th Montreal home game, a HNIC Saturday night game on CBC of course, where fans will be given and asked to wave the Quebec flag.
On this night Tampa Bay will be the opponent. Funny that it should be Tampa Bay because of the whispers, well it has been reported on TV sports channels so I guess it is no longer whispers, that Guy Boucher(Tampa's current coach) will be the next coach of Montreal. Two things, one, is this not tampering ? Someone in the Montreal organization used a source to 'leak' this to the press ... please. Two, next coach ? It appears Cunneyworth(you can find him under the team bus) may not last to the end of the next month nevermind the rest of the season.
An actual protest over the coach because he cannot speak french ... you cannot write this stuff it is so funny.

Why would Guy Boucher even want to coach the Habs & all the problems that come with it? He is better off in Tampa.
Where is all the controversy for Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto who would never hire a French Canadian coach. After all, most, if not all their fans, would have no problems with such a policy. At least in Montreal, there are many fans who see the stupidity of it.
Well done hypocrites.

Would I rather have a born and raised Toronto guy coach the Leafs to a few Stanley Cups ? You bet.
However, if it meant the Leafs were going to win several Stanley Cups over the next decade or two I would not care if any of these guys were the coach ...
Claude Julien
Michel Therrian
Jacques Lemaire
Jacques Demers
or any other French-Canadian for that matter.
If the team vastly improved under a Quebecer, I could not care less, I would love it. Furthermore if you really believe that Toronto Maple Leaf fans would not except a French-Canadian you are mistaken.
The more you crow about the Toronto sports scene Maurice, the more I realize you are out of touch or just a desperate loser Montreal fan who cannot stand the Leafs having any success. I do believe it is the latter, rather then the former.
Like to see Patrick Roy as coach and a lot of bench brawls. Future goalie, his son.Roy is the man for the job.
I think he's too much of a loose cannon to have a really successful career.Like to see Patrick Roy as coach and a lot of bench brawls. Future goalie, his son.
LOL that exactly why I would love to see him as the head coach for a couple of years. Roy in the middle of a 15 game losing skid would be interesting to say the least.I think he's too much of a loose cannon to have a really successful career.
I see him as hockey's answer to Ozzie Guillen. Always have something to say.LOL that exactly why I would love to see him as the head coach for a couple of years. Roy in the middle of a 15 game losing skid would be interesting to say the least.
