Habs Season Thread: 2025 Playoffs

I don’t know where else to put this stat.

Dallas lost their last 7 regular season games giving up 34 goals in the process. I hate Pete Deboer ever since his lack of hand shaking post 2021 conference finals. So hopefully they get shit canned by Mac and Makar

Coaching

You guys are entirely too forgiving on the consistency in coaching.

Maybe we're too forgiving, and maybe you're too harsh. There is a lot of aspects of coaching; game planning, strategies, preparation, execution, player development, team culture, conflict management, handling the media, etc.

There is a reason why we're the youngest team in history to make the playoffs, or why teams normally load up with veterans for a Cup run. It takes a lot of experience to be able to execute well at this level. The coaches will help you get there but there is experience that you only get from game reps, and seeing different reads and situations.

We shouldn't even be in the playoffs this year, yet we had the 9th best record in the league since December 15th. And I know you'll agree that it's not because we rode a hot goaltender.

Many players had career high seasons, or others completely rejuvenated in a new role. Team spirit is the best I can recall, there is like zero drama which is amazing. Team found new gears at key moments, seems to thrive under pressure.

There is a lot to like, and I think coaching deserve a lot of credit. It's a young staff too, they make mistakes, lots of them, but they also do a lot of good things, and the players seems to respect them. I think we're pretty lucky to have MSL, another team would grab him the second he's available.

I'm ok with MSL, he's still learning and admits that he's still learning and that goes a long way with me.

Can't stand Robidas

I have no idea how to evaluate assistant coaches to be honest, i have zero exposure to them. No idea if they’re good at their job or not, so i trust their boss. Except if they’re in charge of special units, then I can judge them on that.
