The Bull Therrien
Okay I remember the time Ron Wilson mocked opposing coach Michel Therrien when he saw Therrien using a sketch board to outline strategy. Wilson made everyone aware he didn't think Therrien had any idea about hockey strategy. Well maybe he didn't and still doesn't. Jacques Martin could not be accused of lacking strategic comprehension, but the habs started going downhill with that so-called know-how. Ron Wilson and all his supposed hockey savvy couldn't lift the Leafs out of their slumber and is now out of a job. So what does Michel Therrien bring to the job and why was he so highly thought of by Marc Bergevin. Outward appearances show a thuglike demeanor. Ex players like Terry Ryan call him an ignoramus. However, there seems to be a split opinion as others like Sydney Crosby and Maxime Talbot seem to give Therrien credit for turning the Penguins around. Therrien's background was initially as a junior coach and then four years as an AHL coach in the Habs organi
