HF Habs: The Martin St Louis Thread

Yep, the Jack Adams is basically the "will get fired soon" awards.

That goes for most NHL head coaches. 14 of the 32 coaches have held their position for less than a year (which includes the 6 vacant spots). 23 of the 32 coaches have held their position less than 2 years.

You were criticizing him and said "things like not throwing players under a bus"... that sounds like you want him to throw players under the bus.

And what players has he thrown under a bus?

Cool.

Show your work.

15 games is about right for putting in a guy like Hutson. He's not going to put him in on game one.

And honestly, if this is a major bone of contention for you I really don't know what to say. This is small potatoes.

Please spare me this stupid 'praying at the altar' crap.

And if you want to criticize him, cool. Nobody is stopping you. But if you do, be prepared to be rebutted. You don't like it? Don't go on a message board.

As I said, fine to criticize him. I disagree with some of his decisions. That's ALWAYS going to be the case with any coach. But the "he's a freaking idiot" for putting Hutson in PP1 at game 15 is silly. And it's understandable why he's made the decisions he has even if I don't necessarily agree with it.

And you can't ignore the roster limitations here. Don't want him to play Savard? Okay, neither do I. But who does he put there? Is he supposed to put X and Struble in the same lineup? These guys are still developing and we're going to put one of them on their wrong side? I mean...

Look at how much our team improved when we got Carriere. All of a sudden we could at least defend sometimes. Was it MSL's fault that he wasn't in the lineup earlier? You can't just ignore the context of the situation and then blast the coach. If you're going to do that then you can expect your posts to get shredded. This isn't Therrien playing Desharnais as our number one or telling PK Subban to dump and chase... Those were clearly STUPID decisions. In this case MSL is doing things that I may not necessarily agree with but I can at least understand the rationale, esp considering how flawed our roster is right now.
That dude is the king of mashed potatoes, even if you point out his wrongs.

I like some people here were crying that MSL was a good coach and he's using the lines that brought him to the PO blah blah blah

and today he's doing the changes we've been yelling about the last 3 weeks
 
"He can't make adjustments!"

MSL adjusts

"He should've done this the whole time!!!!"

Dude can't win with you.
Took a team with Dach, Laine, and Newhook in the top six, and a collection of "washed up" vets like Anderson and Gallagher littered through the bottom six into the playoffs, and he's nothing more than a pee-wee coach, I guess...
 
Did you watched the Habs this season......Anderson and Gallagher are far from washed up
That's why I put "washed up" in quotation marks; for the last three years before this one, everyone has justly believed Gallagher to be so, and most of the fanbase had deemed Anderson over-the-hill and finished after his disastrous season last year.

If the Habs go far into the playoffs, Gallagher will be washed up again for a while. That's what happened the last time (too many little injuries pilled up during the 2021 run).

Maybe, but in the mean time both guy's intensity are a treat to watch......amazing vets to have on your team and i'm ready to bet all the young guy's on the team and Marty think the same
 
MSL is like the team.........learning on the job.
The boys made him look good last night.

Fans on this very board wanted changes, and we got exactly what we wanted. The Sheriff in and Laine out.....
The team responded.

Did anyone else catch what Andy said in his interview? Guys showed up and we had NO passengers.
Very interesting.

Anderson, Suzuki said it after the game. They want Xhekaj in this lineup. Bieksa, Mcguire said it too.

Now get in f***ing line and put him as a regular in this lineup. Never forget what YOUR players said after the game.
