Bring in Arber sit Savard

 

[David Suzuki]

In what major ways is MSL failing as a coach this season in your guys eyes?

i assume it’s a bit at this point lol

In what major ways is MSL failing as a coach this season in your guys eyes?

Poor at long term strategy (manage the 82 games, I would put poor/unprepared start in here) and at in-game management (usage of timeouts, line matching mostly).

 

[WatchfulElm]

Who The F Knows with that idiot, I almost wish the Habs would have gotten demolished this year 7-0 every game and he would have gotten fired. Didn't like it when he was appointed the head coaching job and I hate it even more now seeing how he's mis managing players.

It's your right to disagree with the decisions of a coach who, by all accounts, make your favorite team overperform and defy expectations.

But to call him an idiot, really? I mean, who the F are you to believe that you're smarter than him? What exactly have you accomplished that gives you the wisdom to consider a successful and well beloved coach to be an idiot?

 

[saska sault]

Is Demidov playing? Asking as an outsider.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

You've got some weird passions

It's funny but it's also an insult. You don't say that to any quebecer if you don't know him and how he will react. You better have good legs who runs fast. tsé. As Runner said, it brings the joke into a weird level, I agree and I'm sorry, lol.

No, the oxygen saturation rates are different in North America, and he needs some more time.

 

[Whitesnake]

Wouldn't be surprising to lost this one too....leaves Hawks and a Canes team who might sit out some players....IN the end though Jackets might deserve it more than we do....with Jenner out for the number of games that he was....

Wouldn't be shock.....but if that happens, a good wake up call to stop loving your vets too much and play the guys that actually have legs and wrists....

Like someone to line up nostril's hard in the boards

 

[Gravity]

New avy in honor of a new beginning.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Leafs got our number. They burnt us when we had a 3 goal lead. To win this we must secure a 6 goal lead

 

[Mats NAslund]

I F'n wish St-Louis is too stupid to play him over Pezzetta! They only went and spent who knows how much F'n money to get him out Russia, clearly he must suck !

I agree but what he does not good are peripheric qualities. The most important quality he have it. He have to developp the future core and so far he did well with Suzuki, Caufield, Ghule, Hutson, Monty, Heineman, Struble, etc. Finally the vets had a better year so the team goes to PO. MSL could improve and have better assistants with time.

 

[LV426]

So, the Leafs are planning on being physical, especially with Hutson tonight and we have no Wifi in the lineup?.......Nice

Outside of hockey I'll say I've accomplished a shit ton with my life. Thanks though.
Furthermore he has nothing to do with this team overperforming this is all on the players themselves.

His decision making with his lineup has been putrid and not so sure he so "beloved" as you think!

and you're surprised because?

 

[Habsfan18]

Until they can prove otherwise, I'm just going to assume that we're going to be dominated in convincing fashion during the 1st period again. Down at least 2 goals.

Marty seems to have gone to the Sheldon Keefe school of having his players prepared for the start of meaningful games.

Would love to be proven wrong. Not holding my breath.
