That's quite a surprise...first place team and all...

That said, i was just in Montreal last weekend and saw them play live...and man, they are annoying to watch...PP dump-ins as a primary mode of entry, no concept of rush offense, they never carry near the dot line, almost no center lane passing...that said, I'm not sure how much another defensive coach is really going to change that...but we'll see what happens in his second stint in Montreal...

Apparently some players went directly to GMMB and complained about Therrien.

Has a team leading its division ever fired a coach before?

They're in first because they went 13-1-1 to start the season. 2-5-1 after ASG, 18-18-7 since their streak at beginning.

Honestly, I'm surprised Boston let them talk to Julien

I feel like the Devs were behind the Flyers slightly...but Robbie Ftorek with 3 games left or whatever comes to mind...

Uncle Lou fired Ftorek in March and replaced him with Larry Robinson. Devils finished second in their division and won the Stanley Cup. In 06-07 with three games left and the team in first place in the division Uncle Lou fired the esteemed Claude Julien and replaced him with himself.

This is the second coach that has got the ax because of poor goaltending play. Price has statistically been the worst starting goalie in the league this calendar year.

Whenever he is ready to stop being a HC, I would love to see MT back with the Pens. Pro scout or whatever.

My goodness...that's crazy. This is also the second time that Therrien has been replaced by Julien as head coach of the Canadiens (2002-03). Therrien was fired by the Penguins one day later in the year (February 15)

Also, from Reddit:
Habs were 3rd in the NHL in CF%.
So they dump the HC... and get the coach that had his team #1 in CF%.

The Bruins front office have practically gift-wrapped a huge coaching upgrade to their biggest rivals seemingly based on no more foundation than Don Sweeney and Cam Neely not being able to accept being challenged.

It could be argued that as soon as Julien started criticizing the skill level and makeup of the team he was desperately trying to drag into a playoff spot, he was done. Indeed, all the indications in the fallout from the firing and press conferences seem to point to a disagreement between the front office and the coach exacerbating the situation to breaking point in Boston.

Gallant also had a good cf% when he was canned (by an analytics guy, no less) in Florida...that low-level fad is over, as predicted, NHL teams are way passed that...only the people that fell for it hook, line and sinker when it first came out without giving it time to marinate are still sucking it down...it's fine and all, like shot diff, goal diff, etc.
