Sorry, I will never get this. Okay so Lefebvre has nothing to work with. Fine. So fire the guys that weren't able to get something. But nope...'cause Timmins is awesome and one of the best in the biz says Bergevin. So whose fault it is? Solely the players!!!!! Accountability where are you?
-Barely made the playoffs once
-Only one regular that played under him in 5 seasons and that player didn't even spend a whole year in the AHL
- Special teams are a mess
All of this on top of 2 team relocations. How this doesn't scream "fire" beats me.
If we had Don Cherry and Boston Scotty Bowman we might have a lot less Cups today.I'll never understand the argument that coaches don't matter. If they did not matter they would not be paid that much money.
How much is paid Sly? Would not be surprised it's over 100 000+ which for AHL is a very good salary. It's better than most people having important job out there.
Coaching doesn't matter much for the likes of Crosby or McJesus. But for others coaching ids very important up to around 23-24 years old. After that there's no much you can do outside of keeping them in line. But before that you can still teach valuable things and they can make the difference between a solid 3rd line NHL player and an AHLer or journeyman.
I edited my post above to say this.. Habs have drafted low too many times in the first round in the last couple of years and traded too many early round picks for immediate help at the deadline.. At some point, thats the tag price to have a competitive team that makes the playoffs almost every year..

I highly doubt Sly finds anything in north amercia. Nothing point to him being a good coach or even assistant.
lmao.
Drouin acquisition was an outlier. Now it's back to your regularly scheduled programming!
*cue Sanford and Sons theme song*
Expect, the unexpected...****ing ********.
Bergevin, what the hell are you thinking??????
More gifs for youYou guys are killing me with your gifs
The nepotism is strong in that guy.
And the other good news is that if they lose, he'll get heckled to death in French.
If there's anyone attending at all...
********.
There's tons of teams in the same shape as us or better in terms of annual playoff contention with better prospects, and development, and they've traded picks too.
There's NO excuse for the fact this hockey club hasn't drafted a home run since 2007. TEN YEARS!!!!
Literally the only prospects that have panned out even remotely the way the Habs have hoped are the ones that didn't develop in the AHL. Chucky, Gallagher (who played half a year and was inexplicably worse in the AHL than in the NHL during the SAME season) and Lehkonen. That's insane. Scherbak, McCarron, Beaulieu, Andrighetto, DLR, etc. all just spun there wheels.
Bergevin has been GM for 5 years and promised to build through the draft. Well, the pipeline is almost bare and most top prospects are simply spinning their wheels. SOMEONE should be held accountable.
