Breaking: Shocking update on the future of Michel Therrien in Montreal.

To say this season has been a disaster for the Montreal Canadiens, and for several weeks now, perhaps even months, fans and pundits alike have been wondering when head coach Michel Therrien would be fired.

According to a report fromTVA's Renaud Lavoie, the Canadiens have made the decision to retain not only for the remainder of this season, but for the remainder of next season as well, something that is likely going to evoke both confusion and frustration from the fan base. Habs general manager Marc Bergevin has never wavered in his support of Therrien and it appears he continues to back his current head coach regardless of how bad things get.

It's important to note that hiring a coach in Montreal poses a unique challenge for general managers, as they not only need a top tier coach for one of the most ravenous hockey markets on the planet, but they need that coach to speak French as well. This could be a matter of Marc Bergevin simply not having a better option available to him.
