Coaching is a serious problem.

[Monsieur Miz]

Laine said no to other teams, and yes to Montreal, the fishbowl capital of the NHL with Toronto. You think he did not like his conversation with MSL?

He said no to who? I need the receipts.

 

[Naslund]

He said no to who? I need the receipts.

Minnesota and Buffalo are the teams that have been discussed.

Get MSL has secret boys club written all over this with Lecavalier and Hughes in the org. Imagine passing up people like Quenneville for a peewee coach or even our AHL coach for MSL

Hes getting fired with a better team than the Habs, why do we want him

Because if you want an experienced coach you're de facto hiring someone who failed and got fired by someone else.

remember, this is the same braintrust that drafted Sam Harris....

Oh my f***ing god lmfao

Quenneville was suspended from October of 2021 until July of this year, so he was always off the table as an option. I still don't think he was ever a good option for them, I think he would be better off with someone closer to contention who decides to fire their coach (i.e. Boston, Nashville). Vincent only just got the job in Lavel and is only 7 games into the season. I don't think it's any secret that the reason MSL got hired is because of his playing career, his politicking, or his friends.

What do we know though? In terms of having any credible context?

I do agree he needs someone near him to lean on though. However, I think fans/media are expecting too much. The narrative heading into this season was to improve and we are what... 10 games in?

I honestly believe that even if we had the best coach in the NHL, he will say there is too much youth and especially on D. Depth at center is meh after Suzuki. Dach has to prove he can be the guy we think he can be.

Marty doesn't know how to teach systems. Why you bring guys with years of experience doing it

Imagine passing up people like Quenneville for a peewee coach

Everyone is passing up on Quenneville.

He is a radioactive, dinosaur who has won two rounds of hockey in the last 10 years, participated in a rape coverup and then wrote a letter of recommendations to said rapist so he could get another position where he'd prey on young athletes.

If anyone is dumb enough to hire him as HC, it's going to end up a massive Babcock-like train wreck.

I also question the sanity of anyone who wants a 66 years old coach at the helm of a rebuild. Is this guy supposed to patiently build a competitive roster and eventually get to the playoffs using a walker or something?

 

[RationalExpectations]

This team is fine with losing and living in the illusion they are not far from succeeding. They are very happy with themselves from management to the coach to the players. They have not achieved anything yet that would be nice for somebody to remind them of this fact.

Getting outshot 34-16 by WSH is not just one time thing : 33-25 outshot on average. Team does not get the puck in the neutral zone, team does not make a good job once they have lost it in their own zone and when cycling in their Ozone the puck seldomly reaches to the net because there is no traffic in front of the net...

What is sad is that many fans are becoming happy with this, which is something I really don't understand

I wasted another 45 minutes watching the third.

I'm tired of watching the pp, them getting hemmed in, getting beaten at the puck.

Pretty much tired of wasting time on them.

And the worst of all and , by far, half way through the period, CC gets the puck in our zone, 15 ft from the blueline and fires it at the boards. Not down the boards, but AT the boards and a Cap gets the puck. It looked like a fustration "**** it" clearance. It looks like he had given up.

This team is falling apart. Half of it goes to the team and half to SmartyMarty who is losing them.

Lastly...on principle, I don't even want to pay 5 bucks to watch this level of incompetence
