Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted January 18, 2003 as a habs fan, I see no reason for a new coach. They need a strong defence line, not 3 mediocore lines, but do good on powerplays lines. (Markov, Breisbois...damn good PP line) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted January 20, 2003 On HNIC, they said that Savard never wanted to hire Hartley, as he is friends with Julien.
