Coaching is a serious problem.

Buffalo didn’t show up, they mailed this one in.

they let the owner have a speech and they cancelled a practice. it was clear they didn't have any other game plan than come in strong, just had to send the msg to slow the game down. Only a handful of players can do that.Suzuki, Hutzson. Seperate them for the first half, tell them to take their time. GG.

MTL good game, horrible effort by buffalo

It's not like Marty is working alone. He has a bosses watching him. Tonight it was obvious that Buffalo was coming in strong, and we had to slow the game down. There's only a handful of players that can do that, and we are gonna have to look at the log and see that MSL know the basics. How he handled the lines tonight, the plan works. He's not stupid.

You’re giving credit to Marty for the team only being able to score on the PP and against a team that just loss 10 in a row?

coaching is mostly about managing time for our best players on practice like Suzuki and Hutson. Demidov comes in.Do you have a question ? Do you want to shoot puck on your own time ?

It’s just a stretch to give credit to the coach for this individual win. Coaches influence entire seasons. The team is still dogshit and the worst 5v5 team in the league.

I agree the team s still dogshit. Ottawa was close to us for a good while and are making the playoffs now,

Beat two shit teams and the parade is back on.

LMAO, who's planning a parade?

Habs are playing well, doesn't matter their competition, nor the wins or losses. If they struggle next month to pick up victories against the better teams in the league it won't matter than either. It's all about their efforts and how they're playing. They could lose them all for all I care.

Judging a rebuilding team's coach solely by his win/loss record is stupid. It's not my fault you can't differentiate between the two.

Case and point.

I personally like they way we're playing, especially after the trade for Carrier and with Laine back. Wins or not. Crazy how a couple of good players in their proper chairs can help a coach out huh?

Marty, as a coach, has had a ton of shit and adversity to deal with for most of this season, I'm glad he's getting a bit of a reprieve.

Regardless of that, and the inconsistencies, the team has for the most part, been playing and getting better since November, whether you want to admit it or not.

He could be the worst coach in the world. I don’t know. I wasn’t one of the ones (many) that were clamouring to get him.

All I know is that this is the first time he’s had a healthy lineup in 3 years of a rebuilding roster. What kind of results is he supposed to get?

The young kids all in all are doing quite well. Suzuki and CC have progressed well. Maybe they would’ve done it without him.

Xhekaj who was supposed to be MSL’s arch nemesis seems to have turned it around quite positively. Has anyone from that chorus admitted how wrong they were especially with how vehement they were about it?

Is it MSL’s fault he’s had to give prime minutes to Matheson and Savard? If we get real upgrades there I highly doubt MSL’s alleged ineptness would hold us back at that point.
