They will finish higher this season. As much as everyone complains about Burrows, the pp is still (I believe) in the top half of the league which is a big improvement. Monty looks solid. Sure, there’s players to complain about, but there’s a plan. It’s a long term plan and not an overnight one. We don’t have a superstar, franchise player. This isn’t turning around in a couple seasons.The impatience around here continues to amaze me, though I know it shouldn't.
People on the one hand lament the lack of talent in the healthy roster and felt sure that this roster was a bottom 3-5 team heading into the season.
Cue losing #2C & #2-3D from that talent starved roster, yet the team sits right in the middle tier of the league 1/6 of the season in...
and some are already complaining about the coach
expectations remain completely disconnected from their very own assessments about the quality of the team.
MSL has his challenges and room for growth, no doubt. But with the roster he's had to work with since being hired, the injury pandemic they've faced, and the scrutiny of coaching in one of the biggest fan/media spotlights in the league, it's remarkable how well he's done at keeping the group engaged and bought in. Ducharme lost the room in a few months, with a roster that had considerably more "today" talent in place.
Fortunately, the habs leadership seems to have the long term vision so many fans lack, and i don't think we'll see any knee jerk reactions. The group will continue to grow, the coach will continue to grow, and as the talent base increases/matures, the results we all want will follow.

If only there was a good NFL game tonight.
Carolina (1-7) vs Chicago (2-7)
Battle of the tankers tonight: Habs and both NFL teams. Which one will do worse?

1- Making the Habs GDT
Maybe he’s trying to let them work through things instead of making an immediate change? Like I said, they are hovering around 15th on the pp. I do agree Anderson is struggling mightily, but the philosophy might be to let him work it out. As long as he gets chances, it’ll eventually go in.
I see it as a coaching staff that is in over their heads. They never come ready to play and that's on the coaches.

Habs 4 Life
No Excuses
NFL has to be kicking themselves for whoever decided of this matchup on a Thursday nigth
Just be a huge CF Montreal fan, they love to fire coaches....
I personally find MSL a breath of fresh air and until the team is competitive again it's fool hardy to even entertain firing him.

Sounds like he's audition Primesu for a trade. I thought Monty start tonight. He looked solid in relief of Allen last game.I% guarantee that MSL was told to start him.
Imagine Montreal in on the Edmonton thing. Habs have 3 goalies and tons of caproom plus will spend the money. Not many teams have those three things.

Apparently they have a lot of public benches where one can sit and reminisce about the recent past.

Isn't it at least partially on him to ensure that team is competitive... and that it also competes for 60 minutes every game?
