Because the team has come out flat game after game in this stretch, and has had multiple chances to clinch and hasn't been able to get motivated or ready for any of the games. 8 shots through 48 minutes in a game where you should be playing for your lives is indicative of a coach that can't get players ready for big games.

How is that going to work out when we need to be rising to the occasion in the playoffs? He's been a great coach through the rebuild and developmentally but he's thoroughly lacking tactically and in terms of roster selection (Savard on a back to back, Pezzetta in night after night despite taking constant 3rd period penalties).

I don't see MSL as a coach you can contend with, and I think our window of contention is starting next year.

the fire MSL talk is a little crazy. wouldn't be in this position without him. this team was almost sellers at the TDL and don't really have much business in the playoffs. massive holes on the roster, that's not on MSL

I agree, not sure I’d fire him yet but playing the same pluggers over and over is on MSL, the same as not realizing some change is needed when you average 6 shots over two periods over 5 games, thats also on MSL. I get you could not change anything if they are winning that way but after the first loss you try something else. I’m not even sure he’ll change his roster for tomorrow.

Shouldn't have to hope for other teams to do the job our team should've done in the past few games.

Habs have got 13 out of a possible 16 points in their last 8 games. That is very good.

They have 2 games left and have put themselves in a position where they just need to win 1 to qualify.

I don't understand what some of you fans expect.

I don't expect anything, I've always expected them to not make the playoffs. I'm just stating that I'm not one to hedge my bets on other's results for my own success.

I was on the ''fire him'' train at the end of november but it make no sense now, whatever happen from now on this season is a great succes.

And i have no doubt they will win tomorrow.

While true, Sens did clinch their playoff spot on a night they lost 5-2. They needed Habs to beat Detroit to clinch. It's the reality of the position we're in. It's normal for wild card teams to need out of town help.
