I for one would pay a fair amount of money to watch a game in which noted hockey legend Vladimir Putin has to skate against former pros who don't let him score every time he touches the puck, but only if it is full contact.

I would not be surprised if Putin legitimately does not know they let him win and thinks he's great.

Yeah, my one complaint with Julien has always been that he's not great with younger guys and likes to rely on his veterans. He did a little better with Carlo but I think that's out of necessity. I remember when Seguin and Pastrnak were both regular 3rd or 4th line players because they're kids or whatever BS reason he had.

See Spooner right now.

I'm honestly surprised they're doing this now. If things don't turn around mighty quick, the crosshairs are going to turn on Sweeney in short order. If he'd waited until the end of the season, he likely would've bought himself until the end of 2017/18. It's what Benning/Linden are doing with Desjardins. Imply heavily that it's all the coach's fault, but don't fire him until the summer so management's poor decisions can't take the full brunt of the blame. The difference is that Julien is a legitimately good coach. I'd be solidly on board with the Canucks hiring him, and with the Benning connection that's actually quite possible.

It's a good match since they have no future for him to hobble.

If he can't sit behind a table at a mall then he probably isn't going to play for at least a few games

I was doing a little reading/watching on reactions to the Julien firing, and Craig Button basically laid it out really well: The Bruins play the right way but don't have the talent to make it work, and that's not Julien's fault.

I realize I'm opening a can of worms here, but what exactly is the problem with Therrien? Aside from last year (which Price missed most of) his point percentage in his 2nd stint with the Habs hasn't been below .610 for the season. Is there some major malfunction that I'm missing? Sure he seems to play favourites, sideline youngsters and harbour grudges, but what coach doesn't do that? Who would be a better replacement than him?

I feel like he's a decent to good coach that has perhaps had the benefit of coaching the Habs through a positive period in their history, but overall hasn't done anything to actively harm the team in a significant way. I get that Emelin sucks, but Babcock still gives Polak a regular shift and AV can't get enough of Dan Girardi and they're widely regarded as the best there is. Every coach has their big tough crap defencemen they can't stop salivating over.

You're coming at this from the wrong way.

AV and Babcock also suck.
