That feeling when you go from Europe straight to the NHL at 18 years old:
Your opinion is that it is a country club. My opinion....guys that have played the game at the highest level, for their whole life, know infinitely more about hockey than I do. I am a fan. I enjoy the game. But, I would never assume I know more than those that run the teams or those that play the game.We literally had a bonehead that didn’t even graduate high school run this franchise for a decade. And people are suppose to feel inferior to these guys? Like I said it’s a country club so trying to hype up their credentials like you were doing does you no favours. Neither does you thinking you’re insulting me with playground insults.
There are educated guys in the NHL of course. But being a former player does not mean you will be a good coach, manager, scout, etc. I’ve worked around many pro players that get into coaching lower levels when their careers are over and there are a bunch I wouldn’t trust coaching a peewee team.Your opinion is that it is a country club.

I know one current NHL assistant coach. He has had to bust his ass to get to that point. He knows a shit ton more than I do about hockey. He never played in the show.
The self-righteousness that many of us have on these boards is truly breath taking.

Nor does being a former player preclude you from being an intuitive and successful coach. So far MSL has won over the dressing room and has a young and developing team playing near .500 hockey. I don’t think Toe Blake or Scotty Bowman could have done much better with the current roster.There are educated guys in the NHL of course.

Caufield the only one standing up there is cringeObviously I don't expect Caufield or Suzuki to fight Noesen..... But I didn't like the reaction of the 4 players that were present on the ice.
Someone grab him by the hair.... let them at least scratch his face...something needs to be done!
That WOLF PACK mentality I haven't seen this year.
And MR.X can't be the only one who has to always defend in those situations.....

As opposed to some, I enjoy watching this team play and seeing our younger players develop under the watchful eye of a former NHL player who overcame many hurdles to become a Hall of Famer.

This year Slafkovsky has been the crusher far more often than the crushee.
I would rather focus on Slafkovsky’s end to end rush where he powered around the defenceman to almost score a game leading goal.
But I’m a half- full glass sort of guy.

Team has been ran by imbeciles for 25 years its nice to have some forward thinking guys for once but just because the new management have post secondary education and can fluently speak 2 languages (super impressive for a habs gm) doesn't mean we have to worship them and think they are genius's lolWe literally had a bonehead that didn’t even graduate high school run this franchise for a decade.

That's Buc Nasty levels of hate.
No GM/Coach in sports is worshipped unless they win a Championship and even that has an expiration date.Team has been ran by imbeciles for 25 years its nice to have some forward thinking guys for once but just because the new management have post secondary education and can fluently speak 2 languages (super impressive for a habs gm) doesn't mean we have to worship them and think they are genius's lol
