If you have been following the head coach death watch in the NHL, if you have December 17 as the day Jacques Martin gets the ax from the Montreal Canadiens, then step on up and claim your prize. As of today, the Canadiens will roll with Randy Cunneyworth as coach for the rest of the season. The move to fire Martin was not unexpected, as the Canadiens have perennially underachieved (2010 playoffs notwithstanding), and have had some horrific contracts of major underachievers (read: Scott Gomez) and perennially injured players (Andrei Markov). This is Cunneyworth's audition, and it's likely an uphill battle to take the interim off the label.
