Speaking of firings, how is Tony Marinaro still a thing?

The let go so many people, and this (frank) is still on the air.

Well, most of his mistakes are concentration issues. Just take Brannstrom goal last night, he just can’t have his stick one foot high from the ice on a blueline shot. I mean, you (frank)ing learn it at the novice level for Christ’s sake...

So yeah, he should find his mojo back Pat 😉

indeed, he let in 2 very bad goals... but he made some very nice saves as well, the skills are still there, he just needs to get his poop together

Any word on replacements?

Ducharme interim head coach. Burrows added to coaching staff.

Still holding out hope for the Cunnyworth Redux.

Gotta give the guy a real chance with a real team.

interim, as in "he'll finish the season and we'll hire someone else during the summer"...?

Interesting. Though Muller may take over but oh well.

Pretty sure Carbo is next in the rotation.

Thanks.

Interim as in if he does well enough he'll keep the job.

Last habs coach to win the preident's trophy no?

overblown expectations by Sr management, they are not as good as their early record showed. Easier to change coaching staff then face reality IMO

Sometimes you have 1 more player on the ice and sometimes you have 1 less player on the ice.

Everyone understand?

Good.

Yup.

He honestly didn't do so bad, I wonder why he never got another chance elsewhere.

bah, they're not as bad as they've been playing lately either

I did not expect them to be as good and win at the clip they were doing at the start of the season. But I expected at least good competitive hockey, win or lose, rather than the poopshow of the last bunch of games.

Agreed.

Ducharme will put them back on track.

The young guys will benefit from this so goddamn much.

I kinda hope it works out with Ducharme so they can keep Joel in Laval... and it's understandably a very unpopular opinion but I still think Price will find his mojo back sooner than later

Bergevin's contract ends this season. That's probably one of the reasons why Ducharme was only named interim coach.

they are very weak at center still, Danault is struggling, Suzuki and KK are very inexperienced and have unrealistic expectations to drive offense while being very reliable defensively. Evans is a rookie at the NHL level also but lower expectations.

For me they are still in transition but with the additions of last fall, Sr Mgmt thought it was time to compete while the reality is different based on their strength in the middle.

And the defense is not that mobile either in the top 4 except for Petry which leads to a gap between the forwards and the D and other teams take advantage of that now, the playbook on the Habs is well known now.

Chantal Machabée just said on 91.9 that it was Ducharme who suggested the Habs play a more offensive and open system earlier this season. Seems Julien was not a fan
