MSL is more of a cheerleader than a coach. Seems like a nice guy and was a great player, but is in way over his head in this gig.This is all on Mr Clean Hughes and King Kong Gorton. The baldie and the gorilla
Is another coach going to get more out of Kirby Dach right now? Because that's what we really need.

Can only imagine what kind of BS wisdom pearl he uttered after this game:

Journaliste: Martin, as-tu l'impression que l'équipe recule au lieu de faire du progrès?

MSL: Reculer, c'est se déplacer ! Donc on avance quelque pars, mais à notre façon!

Coaching aside, we cannot be competitive with a $3 million goalie.
Goaltending has led to us overachieving the last two season and prevented us from bottoming out. When we don't get stellar goaltending, what we saw tonight will often happen.

On the bright side, Rangers are a strong team. The Leafs got destroyed by the Blue Jackets tonight.

100%. I mean. I was wondering why Detroit was still out of series. Their goalies are atrocious. I mean, you cannot expect to be competitive with Lyon and Talbot as tandem of goalie. Pretty sure Ottawa will be much better with Ullmaek and New jersey with Marksttom. At ond point, you need to pay for a real goalie. Montembault would be okay at Tampa or Edmonton, but he remains a good second goalie

Dryden would get light up with this lineup.

I also feel he is overplaying Hutson. So far, Hutson reminds me of Mete in his early days, alot of flash and speed but also alot of fluff. Hopefully he will be sent down to develop or stay up with limited minutes.

The egregious simple coaching errors today were not benching the two defencemen that stopped skating before the 2nd goal thinking it was an auto icing. No accountability. Also not pulling Montembeault after the 3rd goal, which should never go in. At the very least, call a f***ing timeout. No, nothing. Just sit on my hands and pretend everything is okay thinking of my next proverb for the media.

Many teams don't respect Habs players and MSL doesn't seem to see that....That's why Xhekaj has to be in the lineup when there are bastard players like Truba, Kreider....
We went from being respected, tough as nails with Weber/chiarot/Edmundson/etc. Now we're creampuffs. More soft than the Dubas leafs. So brutal

I think if our current play and results keep up for a few more games, there's gonna be serious heat for a coaching change. I'm starting to get that spidey sense.

It's just unacceptable for us to be playing this poorly. Everyone looks lost in the D zone for multiple games in a row now.

I'm going to post something I posted elsewhere about Marty's system. If an amateur like me can shred his system, every team in the league is doing it to an even greater degree.

-----

Watch the goal simulations on the 1st, 5th and 6th goal. That's Marty's collapsing into a zone defense. Completely giving up on possession to "defend" the goal area.

The problem when you give up ALL the surrounding area and collapse that tightly is that there is no chance that you get control of the puck and you literally made the net a shooting gallery.

It is simply a lousy executed system and it's entirely, without a shred of an excuse, it's Marty's level of stupidity where he can't recognize the failure of his system.

There are so many tools, so much information that it baffles me how Marty and company can't see the results and failures of what he "teaches".

I'm beginning to believe that these "managers" have a tough time exceeding 80 IQ. MThead with his no possession trap and off the glass, BargainBin failure at managing the team, Marty's systemic stupidity...what's wrong with them? Why are we consistently getting the bottom of the barrel?
