Habs coming off 3 consecutive losses, by gaps of 3 or more goals -- all against hated rivals, including the Sens twice.
They can't defend right now but they also can't score as they rank 31st in the league for goals by forwards.
In the midst of their turbulence, Patrick Roy, the Isles and a bevy of cameras arrive in Montreal for what should be an epic night of standing ovations and adulation for the controversial head coach whose name hangs in the rafters of the Bell Centre.
When's the last time that two HOFs faced each other as head coaches of NHL teams?
Marty has nothing but respect for Roy and the latter has taken steps not to make tomorrow's game about himself.
Both Marty and Roy could be doing something else with their time but instead of that ...
So which Marty and which Patrick are we going to see tomorrow? Well, one of them is trying to stomach how best to deal with the misfortunes of his battered team of late and his face has begun showing it.
As for the opposing head coach, we don't quite know what we're going to get although we've seen excerpts of the way he has been running practices with his new team and he seems as animated and vocal as ever.
Adding insult to injury, was that pre-game ceremony at the TD Gahdens last Saturday, where a commemorative banner that could best be described as some crap the crass Sens org might dream up, not the Bruins, was raised to the rafters.
The banner smacked of a poorly veiled shot across the bow that attempted to ridicule the Habs as this type of ceremony was a major reach at best.
That whole get-up will be remembered when the Habs become competitive again and will gladly help inspire a brand new "jinx" for our beloved Booins.
In the meantime, take this!
We all get how Marty doesn't have the players to win consistently but you have to ask if he's well surrounded.
Several of us have been wondering what that dude Letowski is really doing behind the Habs bench.
@Apoplectic Habs Fan has dubbed Letowski, "Tablet Man", and is convinced that the guy, just like the main character in Office Space, is paid to do nothing. The tablet that Letowski is seen holding game in and game out -- well, @Apoplectic Habs Fan believes is mostly for Letowski to indulge in his favorite activity, playing Angry Birds.
Perhaps the movie Office Space is not the best representation of Letowski.
What if ... Letowski's relaxed, laid back demeanor was really on account of perceiving himself as "The Dude"?
