February 14th 2017. The day when a lot of Montreal Canadiens fans got their wish. It was the day the team decided to part ways from then head coach Michel Therrien.
Many thought that this move should’ve came earlier. Perhaps even at the end of the disastrous 2015-2016 season where the Habs went from being a top team in the Eastern Conference to having a chance at winning the draft lottery. Even before that, fans voiced their displeasure with Therrien.
In particular how he handled certain players. His relationship with P.K. Subban didn’t look to be too solid.
