GDT: Game 14: Montreal Canadiens @ New Jersey Devils, 7th November, 7pm | TSN2

Msl is great at finding philosophical quotes but terrible at actually coaching

 

[Hockey Joe]

Yes. At this moment in time the Habs are the worst team in the league. By the end of the weekend they'll probably be 32nd overall.

They already have the worst goal differential.

Something is wrong with the making of this team.

Look at the first goal.
Three guys back in good position but all three back in and give up the blue line FREE OF CHARGE.
Once the zone is given up one mistake leads to two and a tap in.
This team just isn't very good at all at taking the man and forcing them in a given direction.

 

[McGees]

I'd love to have Price back amongst the team as a goalie coach

Not everyone that is good at something can teach.

 

[HabbyGuy]

While this is true, perhaps, it doesn’t explain the lack of determination to play with any intensity. Routinely giving up on plays, always outmanned coming back up ice. For Pete’s sake they cannot put two passes together as they struggle to make even one. I’m not on Marty’s back but I’m ready to hop up on there. It’s the coach who preps the players at game time. The late goal and overtime loss to Calgary was very revealing.

No argument there, they're not competing as they should.

The new part of the intermission is called Insider wetting

What can we talk about the people need to know about nostrils

Whatever he did to motivate them last season they aren't responding to it this year.

They miss Burrows

Yeah

How come they are all regressing from last season (especilally the second half) ?

Msl is great at finding philosophical quotes but terrible at actually coaching

He's great at being an absolute dickbag. Can't believe that quote about the fans. I throw up in my mouth every time I think about how much I liked him as a player.

Nothing about the makeup, there is NO makeup right now.

 

[the valiant effort]

I refuse to believe “the system” involves our wingers playing this passive when opportunities to close on pucks arise, but who knows

 

[Trembz]

Marty likes his beer better after a win? He's gonna be bone sober all year

 

[le_sean]

Goalie coach teaches techniques, positioning, provides advice. It's not the same as a team coach. He doesn't need to guide an entire team.

Just because he can make the saves by instinct doesn’t mean he can teach someone else how to do the same thing. Note that everyone that has a Masters or PhD doesn’t decide to teach for a living.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

NJD started their rebuild in 2015

Oh no! *checks notes* Fitzgerald was hired in 2020, so they're only in their 4th year of rebuild! We're so close.

The rebuild is going along fine , we obviously wish for them to be good every year but its nice to see them bottom out and pick top 5 again , why some fans are so afraid of tank and want us in the mix with ghule as 1D and Suzuki as 1C blows my mind

 

[OldCraig71]

They deserve support i do agree , but sometimes you gotta make that extra save , which never happens this season

We were spoiled by Carey Price carrying bottom feeder teams to a playoff spot, he really was a superstar and deserved much better.

 

[1909]

Hughes will have no choice soon. The season is young enough to make a big coaching change.

 

[Trembz]

Not everyone that is good at something can teach.

That is true, but you don't know till you try right?

 

[Twisted Sinister]

When does Hutson go on the first pp ?

Whenever Napoleon gets over himself.

What did he say?

 

[Redux91]

Wasn't your original post "Marty might actually step down" this was what I was responding to....

For the running gag yes lol
But it's *exactly* like you said, he's too prideful for that

But as it's going... they will have no choice to fire him eventually sadly, unless we see some major returns until the end of the year
So they'll "announce" it as stepping down

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Ain't no party like a Diddy party as that must be how the other team keeps slipping through this rock solid d

 

[morhilane]

Players want MSL canned maybe??

They seems to still love the guy, but are clearly tuning him out.

Nobody has confidence (outside Gally/Evans) and I think MSL is tired of having to rebuilt each one of them every freaking season.

I don’t think he’s too prideful for that. He’s all about introspection. At some point he’s going to admit to himself that he’s not the one to lead this team.
