Posted - 01/16/2006 : 09:19:28 Claude Julien was fired this weekend and Bob Gainey has stepped behind the bench to coach the Les Canadiens for the rest of the season. I'm not sure why he doesn't want get Guy Carbonneau behind the bench ASAP. You would think that since he doesn't really know the teams current players very well he would want to jump right in and help them make the playoffs. |
