Guy Carbonneau was officially named the 28th head coach in Canadiens history on May 5, 2006 after joining the team as an associate coach under Bob Gainey on January 14, 2006.
In his inaugural season behind the bench, the Habs missed the playoffs by a mere two points. Despite projections for a similar fate the following year, Carbonneau led his squad to first place in the Eastern Conference for the first time since the 1988-89 campaign. His work didn’t go unnoticed; Carbonneau was one of three finalists for the Jack Adams Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s top coach.
Under his tutelage, the Canadiens in 2008 also won their first playoff series since the 2004 season. The team also enjoyed the league’s best power play two-years running with him behind the bench.
On March 9, 2009, 66 games into the 2008-09 campaign, Carbonneau was relieved of his duties. Replaced by Bob Gainey, he left the team with 124 wins in 230 games coached.
