Ok, Jack Edwards is no longer a complete twunt.

I kept trying to tell all y'all he's actually pretty funny and will talk poo poo about the B's when they're bad but you wouldn't listen (but yeah he's a total homer and that's also part of his charm) :v:

Also

Montreal finally went and did it.

They did the thing.

If not for B's tossing Claude, dollars to crepes Therien would still be employed right now.

Probably. I mean, how many other coaches with NHL experience and French last names are available right now?

Habs fans are going to howl though when he staples your skilled younger guys to the bottom 6 so guys like Shaw can play top 6 minutes.

Wise.

Hey Buffalo, if we fire Ruff, hire him, and we'll give Disco Dan a shot. Thanks.

Claude still had a year left on his contract, that's why they needed permission.

I believe it has to do with being relieved of duties, meaning he was still under contract with Boston this year and next year.

when coaches are relieved, they are still under contract with the team that "fired" them and getting paid, they're just being told by the team to stay home and let somebody else coach the team. teams could theoretically bar their fired coaches from seeking employment with other teams for the duration of their coaching contracts, but virtually no teams do this because 1) it's generally regarded as a colossal dick move and would discourage coaches and other staff from wanting to work for your team in the future and 2) no team owner wants to pay a guy to sit at home and not coach their team, and letting another team hire your bum coach means their new team can pay them instead

See, if only the Canuck had freed Willie. He's got the perfect last name. Then we could have picked up Julien.

Scotty Bowman's French is pretty good. I don't know about Toe Blake.
