Most fans will recall all too well the comment Marc Bergevin made back when Michel Therrien was coaching the Habs. Therrien was the man Bergevin wanted to be with in a foxhole; his metaphor for the struggles of those Montreal Canadiens. One can hope that he learned something about staying in such places for too long.
After a second straight loss to the last-place Senators, the Habs are in somewhat of a foxhole yet again, but it is Claude Julien — Therrien’s successor — with whom Bergevin finds himself this time around.
Julien was coaching one of the more exciting teams Montreal has seen in a long while.
