Playoff GDT | ECF | Game #4 | 5/27/26 8PM EST (Canes vs Habs)

[Habsy]

That’s zero adjustments Marty. It’s a part of his growth as a coach to learn that you can’t keep expecting different results. These guys look gassed every third period. Sometimes second. If they aren’t ahead by the end of the first it’s a slog.

 

[Krustchev]

we have no energy lying around...Veleno was better than Kap. that was the move

Owen Beck brings energy.

 

[CH1]

Owen Beck brings energy.

so would I, but like Owen, I'm not a major leaguer

If they were actually gassed the man on man defense would break down. It hasn't, except when Dach is on the ice. I don't think that's the problem.

none of this bunch -- Oliver Kapanen, Brendan Gallagher, Arber Xhekaj -- would provide anything, and you know it

i think Habsy is lobbying for DR-AE

He’s been out-coached by Ruff and Brind’Amour

 

[Krustchev]

He’s been out-coached by Ruff and Brind’Amour

Is that a shock? They're both way more experienced coaches than him.

they gonna score goals? because that's what we need....

I personally like Engstrom...he's at least as good as Struble

 

[CH1]

I'm not buying the "out coached" thing. It's just an easy narrative...one that would be different if a few shots went in instead of hitting the crossbar

 

[CH1]

Is that a shock? They're both way more experienced coaches than him.

maybe it's the fact that Brind'Amour's players are way more experienced than Marty's

 

[Krustchev]

maybe it's the fact that Brind'Amour's players are way more experienced than Marty's

Probably both are a factor. Does VGK even have a good player under the age of 30?

Well, we beat BUF because Dobeš stood on his head. MSL did not respond to Ruff’s line changes.

Shocker. It’s never on the coach with you. Why even have the position then?

It's not like we had a Helenius just lying around.

 

[CH1]

Probably both are a factor. Does VGK even have a good player under the age of 30?

the one exception is Dorofeyev (25) he's been really good

lots of 29 yr olds -- Eichel and Marner --- which is old compared to our core

 

[lecoqsportif]

One potential adjustment, though, was the zone entry on Hutson’s PP goal.

 

[CH1]

Shocker. It’s never on the coach with you. Why even have the position then?

untrue. I thought Therrien, Ducharme, Martin were crap

I think fans blame coaches because it's easier to relate to a guy wearing a suit behind the bench than guys on the ice

 

[CH1]

blaming MSL is pretending that you had the Habs playing in the Stanley Cup final based on their roster

 

[GEEMAN]

Probably both are a factor. Does VGK even have a good player under the age of 30?

Marner
