He is a firm believer in dump-and-chase, something this team has proven all season is not great for them. I think MT has a great scheme for the fore-check and D-zone, but the offensive side of things is laughable.

I don't disagree that they're in tough tonight, but come on top 10 team. MT has done well enough. I wouldn't mind if they couldn't adapt to TB, Sens etc. though

Tampa Bay's AHL coach Rob Zettler sets the same style as Cooper does, maybe a replacement for MT?
- Artyukhin76

I dont think MT needs to be fired or replaced, they just need to revamp the offensive zone. Most of the Habs offense seems to come form odd-man rushes gained on the fore-check and turnovers; on top of that the teams overall D is great and help Price look as amazing as he does.

Meh... They could face BOS. They would probably win that one IMO.
Againts DET I would like it a lot. Not sure which team wins that one.
Same for WASH, though series, whether they've played well or not over the past month.

Habs are a defensive team 1st so this is normal

Just a thought. I'm not saying he should, just reacting to a lot of what people are saying here.

I know; its just a tough to watch them struggle to get offense going in the offensive zone; there clearly has to be a better way. I also know that this team isn't exactly busting the seems with offensive talent either, so that certainly doesn't help.

Yeah, most aren't happy with the last month, but firing MT isn't what will save this team. Paying for a bit of fire power will go much further. Pacioretty will be covered come PO time and then everyone will say "That bum never plays hard in the POs..."
