The Edmonton coach last year, as green as they come. Ducharme with the Habs in 2021. It happens all the time. Coaches are not that important. However, in Montreal, coaches are important to tame the media and crazy fans, and Marty is as good as can be for us.Once per century, good luck. That's not better odds that we had with Therrien.
I think it’s unfair to be expected not to want to see more regardless if we’re in the middle of a rebuild. We’ve finished in the bottom 5 the past 3 seasons. That’s going to wear on even the most die hard fans. The injuries and the nerves of waiting on our young talent to break out has given a lot of people like myself the blues this year when it comes to evaluating how this rebuild is going. Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, and Demidov make the future look bright but we need to see some signs of positivity when it comes to keeping the puck out of our net as well. So many question marks there.I just want to get excited about something. If we can’t make the playoffs we have to get better at least. We’re getting worse!
Who's going to take him the way he plays, though? If he's picked, they have to play him in the NHL. I'm not sure he's very interesting to an NHL team at this point.Guhle is obviously ready for the NHL
Barron needs to be in the NHL now; can't pass waiver.
Hutson; the Habs decided to give him reps at the NHL level. They think that's what is best for him. His offense is already way above average for the NHL. He just needs to get use to what works at the NHL level, and what does not. Can't learn that in the AHL.
Mailloux would be in the AHL if Guhle would not be injured.
Struble is ready to be in the NHL. He's decent, but he's young and he's playing for a shitty team, so he looks worse than he is. He's also catching up having missed the beginning of the season.
Xhekaj bring something unique that this team needs now.
Demidov looks like a star. Hage, I think we don't know yet. People are probably too excited about him at the moment.
Hire Carbonneau back bloody mary just for the passion and the ass kicking this team need
The problem is that you are expecting too much. They are still better that the picks they were traded for. Our team is terrible at the moment, so everybody looks bad.The Dach and Newhook playbook of trading picks for reclamation projects is turning into one big yikes.
We have a few very interesting guys in Slaf Demidov and Reinbacher , the problem is fans here think Suzuki and Caufield are a stanley cup winning duo for some reason and have these lofty expectations that those guys are going to be our best players if we ever win anything. IMO the goal of the rebuild should have always been to at least get 1C better than Suzuki but the draft balls didn't go our way. We still got 3 very quality pieces from our tank so far , and are about to add a 4thThe sad reality is that a rebuild only really starts after you drafted a franchise player, someone to build around. I don't think we have that player yet.

Shows it doesn't quite matter what the name on the jersey is. Xhekaj or Matheson seems to be the same for this league. The team needs to beef up, hit like they mean it, not become goons. A hit where you can see your opponent's eyes is always going to be regarded as tough, not vicious.Matheson stepping up for Barron by going after Trouba was awesome to see. He did a great job, too. No idea how he got the instigator for that because Trouba actually got his gloves off first.
Refs are dumb. I f***ing hate them so much.
Matheson's contract features (money and terms) are perfect. Which RD is going to come here and have a better impact than this guy for an equivalent contract?Not if we replace him with a vet RD.
Guhle, Hutson, Struble, X remain in the left side. We should be okay with that. I don’t see Matheson here long term do you?
What do you want him to say thoughStraight up Sophist, what a fraud
Don't think he needs one. He's just bad. Another reclamation project that ain't gonna work.Newhook didnt miss the whole year whats his excuse
The Philosopher KingletStraight up Sophist, what a fraud
He got no points. That's all I care about. Have in my keeper league.He did plenty.
Dach trade will turn a profit.The Dach and Newhook playbook of trading picks for reclamation projects is turning into one big yikes.
Absolute garbage. Until the Habs have a nearly complete team there is no way to know if he or any other player qil work. He plays with garbage players and Dach who isn't close to 100%Don't think he needs one. He's just bad. Another reclamation project that ain't gonna work
