Out with the old, in with the … old.
On February 13, Michel Therrien was replaced as head coach of the Montreal Canadiens by Claude Julien. Again.
I was there in Philadelphia, when it all started. At least that’s what I’d like to think.
I certainly didn’t expect to see the game that unfolded. Coming off a strong post-All-Star-break performance against a weak Buffalo Sabres team, the Canadiens generated only 16 shots in their 3-1 loss to the Flyers.
The Flyers, after their preceding sloppy outing against the Carolina Hurricanes, benched (sorry, “healthy-scratched for development purposes”) Shayne Gostisbehere and Travis Konecny against the Habs, replacing them with Nick Schultz and former Hab (and EOTP Goalie Analyst favourite) Dale Weise.
