Coaching is a serious problem.

I live in Vancouver, so I don't access much Montreal media. Perhaps the coaches have been asked this in the past and replied. I'd appreciate any info you can give me:
  1. Why is is so common to see the opposition pointperson possess the puck in the Habs' defending zone with the closest Hab more than 15 feet away?
  2. Habs are poor in the defensive zone. No doubt. Much the blame is put on the young D, but there are usually 3 F's on the ice at the same time. Are Habs' F's weak defensively as a group?
  3. Is the HAbs' defensive strategy to 1) Take the puck away from the opposition; or 2)Wait for opposition to give up the puck? I believe it's #2
  4. Why do Habs' forecheck when it is so ineffective? Before you blink an eye, the opposition is entering the HAbs' blueline
All of these things are deliberate moves by the coaching staff
