Habsy
Yes, I'm kidding people.
Now before everyone jumps on me about a coach's thread I want to make it clear that I was very against hiring this guy again in the first place. I would have much preferred Groulx as our Head Coach.
I don't think MT is the coach for the Habs and this is not based on one crappy game. IMO MT needs strong talent to implement his system and the Habs are simply not there yet. MT had some great players in Pittsburgh and that translated to success, with the Habs he has to make good, not great, players play above their heads. This is not just a coaching problem but an organizational one. The reason we keep seeing the same issues regardless of coach are the players and the fit they have with the coach.
All coaches will say they can coach anyone, we all know that isn't necessarily true. Surely this is why Bou and Army are here, to facilitate an understanding in the locker room between staff and talent but I question whether MT is the man for the job. The Habs won't be a contender for another 2-3 years, sorry to burst anyone's bubble. I think they should have selected a solid coach with new ideas to grow the team with, I just don't see MT as that guy.
Is MT that guy or is he a stop gap while they groom Lefebvre for the job?
