[Lafleurs Guy]

I don't know about that.

But coaching is a serious problem...

 

[GrandmaCookie]

The first line.
Huston.

Order is interchangeable.

 

[Frankenheimer]

MSL

 

[Legend123]

Hutson
Top line
Laine pp
Bottom 6 is actually not awful as previously feared

 

[themilosh]

Whats really cool is we may finish off the season with 3 offensive players.

Goals: CC
Assists: LH
Points: NS

 

[domiwroze]

The 4th line contribution in the december, january push.
George Laracque when he pressured on MSL to start coaching or Gerard Gallant would come over for coffee
Anderson playing injured, straight up +5 to all stats but -10 to brake.
Primeau not here to throw games away
Barron free
Matheson free PP

 

[Miller Time]

1 Gorton / KH vision, clarity, culture building & patient/timely asset management
2 MSL's coaching & culture building
3 Suzuki / Caufield leadership & consistency
4 Hutson's historical rookie season
5 top to bottom buy in of the players, in particular the vets whom have fully embraced their roles (largely diminished)

Not so much a turn around as a very methodically planned and executed rebuild that is largely unfolding as intended (including the buffers for inevitable injury and inconsistent youth performance).

Habs are who (a small minority of us) we thought they were.

Future is bright
(& The present is getting more and more enjoyable as we go)

[GrandBison]

Luck.

Reading the main board, Laine's goals are not counting and Hutson is trash cause he's not scoring. Caufield is small and doesn't play defense, Slaf is a bust and Monty is the worst starter of the league.

 

[SwiftyHab]

principal factors have contributed to the in the mix

1. HF board member enthusiasm
2. Opening of Official Tank Thread
3. Players effort, coach, GM bla bla bla

 

[Chili]

Marty-Don't think many other coaches would have lasted through the last few seasons. He has shown a lot of patience which has helped young players take steps forward.

Health-For the most part, they haven't been buried by injuries. That has helped Laval this season as well, not having to lose their best players to the big team all the time.

Other teams, especially in the division-a number of teams have taken a step back. i,e Bruins, Rangers

 

[vokiel]

1. Hutson PP
2. Dobes winning streak
3. Carrier Acquisition
4. Few Laine goals on the PP.

 

[Habs]

I thought there was going to be a video. Mods, Ban

Patrik Laine's arrival in December is the biggest reason.

Hutson's emergence has been quite the sight as well.

All of the above.

But Hutson's play has been the most important factor.

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

With all the bitchin and moanin trown at MSL, he should get a mention.

 

[alko]

When i look to Habs results, i cant see any significant turnaround.

October , first half November - Bad
then OK
Middle of December till middle of January - Good
Then again Bad
And Now - Good

 

[ourobouros]

2 of the main factors can be seen on the actual main page of nhl.com :

If those 2 x "Bads" were "OK" or if one of them was a "Good" then we would be solidly in PO position.

Barron for Carrier was such a good move by Hughes, no idea what Trotz was doing but that trade was the catalyst to taking a step forward.
