He is finally learning. KISS - Keep it simple stupid. Players were all screwed up with his ethereal concepts.

What makes you say his concepts are not being implemented? There's nothing simple about what the habs are doing. Simple is what Therrien was doing ("chip and chase"), which was effective but boring and limited in potential.

It's ok, I know it's hard to give him credit and everyone that dumped on him is scrambling to find an explanation that excludes him from the equation.

I'm finally happy with the way they play in their zone. I'm glad MSL read my criticisms and suggestions on this board....!

Don’t understand this man’s obsession with Dvorak. Because not only are you putting Dvorak out there, you’re having Gallagher drag his feet beside him. No accountability for veterans.

MSL has been good recently. Funny much of what people said have been done

I dont agree how he handled ice time tonight. Awful considering they play tomorrow

Pez is his fault tho. Hugo needs to give him a better alternative

''MSL said he didn't even have to intervene after their bad start. MSL said nothing. This shows how much this team has grown over the past six weeks. The identity they've built can take them even further in the coming months."

Cool quote. Tonight’s unanswered blowout can be a blip, even the very best teams suffer them in the modern NHL. But if we’re really past the “rebuild” phase, we must expect to see a response tomorrow.

In the 7-3 loss against the Leafs, MSL showed again that he had difficulties adjusting to these situations. Call a time out, replace Monty to wake up your team.

You don’t replace the G in a mid season game when there’s another game the following day the backup is preparing to play in

Habs win tonight vs NYR and they will have played .750 for the week / .500 worst case with a L

Playing Dobes in the 3rd period would not had killed him. The guy can play the following day no problem.

Still don't like him at all. 15ish games of good play doesn't negate the absolute putrid start to the season. Even smaller sample size than the start to the season that was to small to judge MSL on. Laine's shot being unreal doesn't make the PP structure great and contract year performances from Evans and Armia don't move me having watched them for many years.
