Coaching is a serious problem.

I'm not seeing any of that. People just seem to think you're a strange guy.

I'd rather interesting but sure I'll take it.

You'd have to imagine St. Louis is on a bit of a hot seat internally. Hughes and Gorton were constantly talking about being in the mix late in the season and playing meaningful games in March/April, but here we are in early November and it already feels like we're done playing meaningful games.

Hughes and Gorton clearly thought this roster was capable of better results, so if they don't start seeing them then St. Louis will probably be gone before next season.

What did they expect though? They kept a peewee coach on board...the coaching staff in Laval are miles ahead in terms of experience. The coaching staff is responsible for developing the players...not the other way around? Do something before these players lose all confidence and don't regain it. I'm sure Laine is enjoying what he is seeing...ffs.

I think you're interesting, typical know it all kid like a lot of posters here

 

[Yoor]

Right on.

Why do they try to re-invent the wheel every year ?

Agreed why don't they just hire a qualified coach to begin with...I was willing to see what the outcome was but yeah...this is no good. And for those calling to band-aid the situation by just adding an experience asst. coach...it still doesn't work imo...what experienced coach is going to want to report to a guy with almost no experience?

We are starting to see the warts.. to be a coach in the NHL you can't be soft and other than one "bag skate", Marty has been nothing more than a roll of uncooked Pillsbury

See, I don't even know an Edith myself.

My mother in law's name is Edith and ugh

On Flames second goal...

This loss is on SmartyMarty system. Evans would normally pursue the puck carrier man/man, instead, pulls to a zone defsnse and the puck carrier had room to roam and set up a perfect slot shot.

This is getting tiring...

I think the problem with Martin is that he try to teach how he saw the game as a player. But he was a special kind of player, an all star. The average player probably doesn't connect with his way of seeing things.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

An argument can be made that Lemaire and Toe Blake along with maybe Al Albour are the best coaches to ever come from the player ranks.

Never saw Lemaire as a great coach.

 

[Redux91]

OK

Definitely have reached the point I can no longer defend him

I haven't reached 'bashing him' level yet

So I'm just gonna sit like this for a while and re-assess later

Biggest red flag in his coaching was his belief he could make Josh Anderson improve his hockey IQ. You aint gonna magically make the guy smarter

3 goals from our D corps and one of those players is in Laval is really bad for a team that was in the top tier for D scoring last season.
It would be understandable if our team defense was stout but it's actually worse.
At one point Marty is going to have to stop deferring to Matheson all the time.

If Lane Hutson was on the 3v3 last evening he would have pounced on that lose puck off the draw.
At the very least he would have prevented Coronato from having so much space.
There was absolutely no reason for Matheson to be as passive as he was on that play.

MSL needs to leave. With his latest comment on Dach at C, we've had it. Crazy.

What comment?

 

[morhilane]

What comment?

Probably the one where MSL said he wasn't sure if Dach was a Center or Winger yet, but if you had asked him that last year he would have said Center.

Shows that MSL have no idea what to do anymore with his neurotic players.

Hes obviously a center, all of his best plays come from the middle of the ice.

 

[Hannibal]

The question is:

Will Hughes have the balls to fired MSL when it’s the time?

And if you ask me, the time is close as f***.

Is it too soon to make a Kamala/Biden joke or should I wait another day?

I'm not seeing any of that. People just seem to think you're a strange guy.

That's not very nice
