	A Tribute to Guy Carbonneau - Canadiens firings not what they seem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mind you, Therrien has paid his dues, a career junior and minor-league bench boss who may be entirely adequate, given the right opportunity (and this may not be it).
		Vigneault, it says here, was sacrificed not because he couldn’t effectively coach this team, but because the Habs opted to show greater faith in Carbonneau than their head coach.
		By hiring Therrien, Boivin put an "experienced" or career coach behind the bench, but gave Carbonneau the title (assistant coach) and role that will allow the former Hab captain to be deeply involved on a day-to-day basis.
