Claude Julien appointed head coach of the Canadiens

Interesting move to go right to your rival, but he had already coached in Montreal. Just seems interesting to me.

I think they have a small pool of coaches that fit the requirements

Julien is an exceptional coach, he wasn't going to be unemployed very long.

More interesting than going straight to your immediate rival is this is the second time Therrien has been fired and replaced by Julien to coach the Habs - happened in 2002-03 too.

Reminds me of the George Steinbrenner & Billy Martin saga.
