Bob Berry succeeded Claude Ruel behind the Canadiens’ bench from 1981-82 to 1983-84.
Berry’s tenure was successful during his first two seasons as the team’s head coach with 46 and 42 wins, particularly thanks to the play of the Canadiens’ goalie tandem of Rick Wamsley and Denis Herron, winners of the Jennings Trophy in his first season at the helm.
Although the Canadiens qualified for the playoffs in both years, they were upset both times in the first round by Quebec and Buffalo, respectively.
Several key players made their Canadiens debut under Berry, particularly Craig Ludwig and Mats Naslund in 1982-83, and Chris Chelios and Claude Lemieux the following season.
Berry was replaced by Jacques Lemaire during the 1983-84 season, with the team holding a 28-30-5 record through 63 games.
He recorded 116 wins overall in just under three full seasons with the Canadiens.
