Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin said he needed to be 100 per cent sure he was ready to make the decision to fire longtime goaltending coach Stephane Waite.
It turns out the reached that point during the second period of the Canadiens 3-1 win over visiting Ottawa on Thursday night.
The Canadiens announced shortly after the game that Waite, who had been with the club since 2013 and helped Carey Price reach elite goaltender status, would be replaced by Montreal scout and former NHL goalie Sean Burke.

TORONTO - The Toronto Argonauts defensive line will be a little older the next time it takes the field.
According to sack leader Charleston Hughes, it will also be a lot hungrier.
The Argonauts have heavily retooled their team for the prospective 2021 CFL season, and some of the biggest changes have come on the D-line.
The 37-year-old Hughes was signed by the club shortly after his release by the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He will join a line that features a couple of other grizzled newcomers in 32-year-old Cordarro Law and 36-year-old Odell Willis, whose signing was announced Friday.
