Gainey and Carb!
Permalink Closed

 While they were very close personally in their playing days and quality players, it concerns me that they are a twosome in this capacity! BG will be alot more leaniant with Carb as a coach! If the shoe was on Carb's foot rather than CJ, you can bet that Gainey would of made trades already! No way does he fire his best long term friend!

For those on this board berating the fact that Julien was a "rookie coach", how do you feel about Carbonneau who. to the best of my knowledge. has never taken any coaching traing or certification. Boy..couple years as an assistant under Therrien and in Dallas. Way to go with experience Bobby!! But hey, at leats you have your puppet now.

The silver lining as a habs fan is this. Gainey now has his pals in there. He will do everything in his power to make sure that they look good and that his decision looks good, including making trades or demotions. So this, as Martha says, is a good thing.

Jeesh Barry. Carbo and Gainey are hab icons. Legends if you will. Puppet....come on Barry. Again, may I suggest some saline for those eyes?

My point remains the same Muller. I have no problem with Julien being replaced. However the fact that he has been replaced with a buddy of Gaineys and one with no coaching experience smells a tad funny don't you think?  I find it odd how some people will make statements such as "We need a more experienced coach" "We need to stop hiring rookie coaches", yet they support hiring a guy with no coaching experience. As for Carbonneau's vast experience as a player that may be an asset for sure. It was certainly a big asset for Mario Tremblay. My question is this. At what point do habs icons like Koivu, Theo, and Rivet become accountable?

Accountable for what in the case of Koivu and Rivet...actaully showing up for a hard nights work?


I did have a feeling that CJ was let go in a bit of a shaddy way i'll admit. But from what it seems, you can thank the french media once again for that one. Carbo should have been coach long ago...But NOOOOO....

I need to ask WHAT you base your opinion on that Carbonneau should have been the coach a long time ago Muller? This I would love to hear. Because he once wore a Habs uniform? You must have been ecstatic when Mario Tremblay was hired to replace an experienced coach then?!?

I never said anything about how I felt about the coaching choice. And I have never said that I think a rookie coach is a bad move. I merely was stating that you are blasting two pretty legendary fellows in Gainey and Carbo for no apparent reason.


Are you one of thoses people Barry that I deal with on a daily basis? Axing the program before it gets a chance to be up and running? Sometimes change is a good thing, which does not mean that I hate CJ. I actually supported him all year. We all know who I figure that rat fink was...


And No I never like the Houle/Tremlay choice from the start. I met Houle once...dumbest sounding guy in the world. I never had much confidence in that desicion. Carbo however I have a good feeling about...
