The Martin St Louis Thread

[Tyson]

That is a question for HuGo at one point they have to intercede at the NHL level.

Agreed
Linear is one thing, regression is another

 

[Mrb1p]

How do you watch every young player though lose confidence and development?

No vet support around them. We need to add talent.

MSL is probably the single worst coach in the league right now. By far. He's Gretzky-tier. Stupid analysts kissing his ass. Screw Friedman.

 

[Yoor]

I’m not asking for more wins, because i’m not blind, that roster is atrocious.

But i see bad habits, no structure and no culture. That’s start with coaching staff.

Exactly, I don't mind that they lose many games during this period of the rebuild but it's how they are losing that is concerning.

 

[Yoor]

Yes he should have had an experienced assistant once Richardson left.. now it's hard to get one in there, if they do, it has to be a unilingual guy that isn't seen as a potential successor.

No way they can put someone behind the bench that would get calls to replace Marty, it'd be a powder keg that would blow way too quickly.

Imagine being the most storied franchise in the sport and you simply cannot hire the best available coach because of language in 2024. Sad....and we will never succeed like this. Just take your medicine already the french fans (like me) will get over it once the team starts winning.

 

[Yoor]

Would have made more sense to have veteran ass coaches with him but they are all new , feel like they are all over the place

Would have made more sense to hire a qualified coach

So our system was use by the four of the last 5 stanley cup champs but we fail to execute it lol

We are bad.

Exactly. We aren't there yet so why not adjust the system so we don't look sooo brutal out there.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Exactly. We aren't there yet so why not adjust the system so we don't look sooo brutal out there.

I think we will. It won’t continue like this.

 

[Hullois]

I think we should keep MSL solely because he is a great leader of men but they absolutely need to surround him with extremely experienced assistants who can implement the actual systems.

 

[Yoor]

There are many dumb GM's out there but I doubt there is even one who would want either of these players

Perfect time to try and trade Gally..value won't get any higher than it is now.

 

[Balthazar]

He doesn't want to. That's pretty clear at this point.

HuGo has to make it clear that it is not his decision.

 

[rahad]

Any career coach would be out by now, but hey, MSL is a former star player.

It could be the end for MSl this summer.

 

[Balthazar]

HuGo has to make it clear that it is not his decision.

It kinda is his decision actually. They can't force him to get an assistant coach against his will. Imagine the mess if they did.

If my memory serves me right that's happened often in MTL under previous regimes when the coach was struggling

 

[Habby4Life]

It could be the end for MSl this summer.

I hope so

 

[Monsieur Miz]

The ''haha he said something funny'' memes during his post-game interviews aren't so funny anymore.

 

[Hannibal]

Hughes doesnt have the ballz to make that move.

Big ballz Gorton will have to step up.

 

[Scotianhab]

No point in keeping St.Louis if the team is this terrible. Defense is a complete shitshow. Honestly call Gallant and see what he says.

 

[rahad]

I hope so

We will never win as long as we keep the ''french coach/GM'' mentality in Montreal. Just hire the best coach. I don't care if he does not speak french. Just hire the best coach available. As simple as that.

 

[Rapala]

Habs were supposed to be in the mix….. They are « mixed » for sure.

 

[ReHabs]

If my memory serves me right that's happened often in MTL under previous regimes when the coach was struggling

Bergevin was in his own galaxy with regard to dominating organizational decisions. It’s not normal to force assistant coaches to a coach and then force his replacement to keep them. But it was with Marc Bergevin.

I hope HuGo won’t do the same.

MSL is on the hot seat but he’s owed some help from HuGo before that.
