The Habs have been in complete disarray the last 10 games. So much so that <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2021\/02\/24\/montreal-canadiens-replace-claude-julien\/\" target=\"_self\">it cost<\/a> head coach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/j\/juliecl01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Claude Julien<\/a><\/strong> and associate coach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/mulleki01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kirk Muller<\/a><\/strong> their jobs.

One thing is for sure, Ducharme will need some of the Habs best players to find their form, otherwise, it might be a long season. If the Habs continue to spiral, one thing is for sure, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/bergema01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marc Bergevin<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s seat will become incredibly hot.<\/p>\n<p>All this and the Habs current skid, what is going on with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/danauph01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Phillip Danault<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/priceca01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carey Price<\/a><\/strong>, language issues, late-night not well thought through conspiracy theories, and much much more!<\/p>\n<p>Tune in!<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" title=\"Last Word on Habs Pod: Montreal Canadiens in Freefall\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/hfiq2-fc22fb?from=pb6admin&amp;download=1&amp;version=1&amp;auto=0&amp;share=1&amp;download=1&amp;rtl=0&amp;fonts=Helvetica&amp;skin=1&amp;pfauth=&amp;btn-skin=107\" width=\"100%\" height=\"122\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Credits<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to Ethan Meixsell, Topher Mohr and Alex Elena, and Silent Partner for their musical contributions to the Last Word on Habs Pod.<\/p>\n<p>The Last Word on Habs Podcast is brought to you by the Last Word on Sports Network.
