A recent video recently surfaced showing how Michel Therrien treated defenceman P.K Subban and Josh Georges in a back room meeting about their play. This has had fans in an uproar and questioning his coaching ability.

Therrien was the coach of the Habs from 2000-2003 then again in 2012 until he was fired in 2017. During this time, Max Pacioretty was the star of the Montreal Canadiens and the eventual captain during Therrien's time. Pacioretty was one of the most consistent Montreal Canadiens players and was a definite fan favourite. You could consistently count on him for 30 goals and 60 points.

Pacioretty was recently on the Raw Knuckles Podcast where he was asked about his former coach, in which he had this to say:

The coach who sort of developed me, brought me to the NHL and possibly made me the man I am today and the captain I have become, Michel Therrien, was fired that year when we were first, or close to it. When people talk about how I had, maybe not pressure, but a certain burden to carry, I want to say that I always had a great relationship with Michel. I still talk to him today. Often when I come to Montreal. He was so good to me. And when things changed, when I became captain, he really reminded me of my father. He was tough on me, but in a good way!
