Coaching is a serious problem.

The problem that keeps cropping up is Marty's real time game management sucks.
There are no two ways to look at this.

I'd like to know in how many post game interviews has Marty said "I have to look at the video"
What exactly are you looking at during the game?

Regardless of the fact that we are rebuilding I haven't seen our fan base this irate about bench management in a long long time.
The back of players' helmets, needs a step stool to be able to watch the game :sarcasm:

We had our chance with Montgomery.

I have a hard time seeing any other opportunities to improve coaching bigger than the one we just passed up on. Looks like management is ready to ride and die with MSL
I was thinking MSL is a stobborn coach, not wanting anyone to suggest/tell him/help him with the coaching stuff. Now I think Hugo decided it's MSL whatever happen, for the best or the worst. Well, from outside, this it how it looks.

Last year the team looked better with MoneyHands, he was like an older brother with the kids, releaving pressure from Suzuki. Now Suzuki is alone because Dach doesn't do the job. MSL still doesn't know some basic of coaching like time out or implement a system that works. Habs have the worst centerline of the NHL, Dvo who is an experienced nhler doesn't help developp the kids. By chance Heineman produce a little bit, despite that shitty team. Gally, Evans and even Anderson are doing relativly fine. Gally is the forward that works the hardest. But overall the team regress, it doesn't look good for the future.

We are still expecting some kind of miracle, a wake-up of Dach and Slaf. Or a trade that brings a center as good/or better than MoneyHand. A new player that can act as another leader in the locker room. And we need a true 1D, better than Matheson. And Savard is very slow, it's a disgrace. He was slow last year but acceptable, now he's slower.

How do you know? He’s lived year round in the US for the better part of last 30yrs, his wife is American and now teenage kids all have grown up there.

I’m not going to pretend to know, but I’m guessing if multiple options presented themselves, he’d prefer US destination
Are you talking about MSL ? Because that’s exactly what his previous life was. And his wife and kids are still living in US.

You can get a top-two centerman and a #1 D… But be prepared to lose many of some of our best assets.

A gm have to take that kind of decision. We say sometimes the best trade are the one you don't make but when the Kings traded to get Carter I think it paid for them, they won 2 SC. We can be patient another year, or 2 or 3. Or HuGo can use some of his best assets to make a major trade. I trust him and I think he have some cards in his hands. We'll see.

I would like to trust him…. But he is the one who hired MSL and traded Lehkonen, Toffoli, Monahan, and Kovacevic… and did not draft Michkov:sarcasm:

Not really - the infinitely small minority that makeup the hardcore fans like to tell themselves that because it makes them feel important…. but we matter the least.

Only corporate customers matter, and almost 0% of them live & die with their teams outcomes
The Sheep don't matter and the corporate Pigs and Dogs don't care a lick.
Believe it or not people see through the bullshit and want some entertainment value.
I'm sure the corporate assholes heard the booing don't you?

"Ha Ha Charade you are"
