When an entire team is like that, the first place you should look is the guy coaching them.

Enough with the overpaying contracts on this team. I think this is why PK hasn't been signed yet. He isn't a 8 million defense men no matter what people here in hf thinks....

I think Subban is just trying to do too much again. But, he's not had is best game that's for sure.

Bourni has been impressive and in MT fashion doesn't play him. I don't get it. If MB won't fire MT he needs to go also. This whole team is a mess!

If you knew anything about how murray has been sheltered, you'd realise that he gets an inordinate amount of offensive starts for someone who is supposedly a defensive specialist.
Yes. Douglas Murray has transformed our team, alright. Transformed into a team that gets regularly outshot and hemmed in our own zone.
LMAO. Bench Douglas Murray and we are simply a soft team that gets outshot and hemmed into our own zone. He does his job on most nights, no reason to pretend we suck because of him.
Ironic that you'd bring up advanced stats when you just said watching the game is what really matters.
If you are still ignoring the effect Murray has on our team, then you are still grasping to your ridiculous argument that he isn't an NHL defenseman. Not getting into that again!

Face it gang, Murray was signed for one reason only: as a plug, a backup, a relief valve
(insert your own plumbing joke... right in the buttcrack

Your ok with another overpaid defense man...I'm not. So we should sign Markov to a overpriced contract as well?!?! Thats what has gotten this team into trouble right now.

Getting outshot and outscored is advanced stats now? Jesus, the hockey community must have had trouble in math class.

So are people really still not noticing that Subban/Markov have been left scrambling most often for extended periods, and even missing more assignments, in our defensive zone? Or, more importantly, that not a single pairing sticks out as getting hemmed in more/less often than any other?
But anyway, I think there's an advanced stats disconnect somewhere here, because looking beyond just the offensive zone starts, I see that Murray actually has one of the very best offensive zone finish %s on the team, which suggests that we're actually better at getting offensive zone faceoffs with him on the ice. So either the Habs move the puck up ice just fine when he's on the ice, or he's helping to keep a LOT of pucks in the offensive zone. Or, obviously (and more likely) an under-appreciated combination of both.
Yea, we should let him go via a GM that thought signing Briere for 4M for 2 years was a good idea. This would be a much better plan than signing him.
What has gotten this team into trouble is sign crap players. Overpaying is irrelevant.
Overpay for a Norris winner? Ya, that's not a problem.

No mad pls
