Basu and Godin Notebook!
Robidas is a disaster choice of a Dman coach, especially for a group of green defenseman
There was no need to move Kovacevic this summer for such a return.
MA is right. Can't 'tweak' this kind of hybrid.. And
some 'people' can both
-take more time to learn
And – learn differently.
It's going to take all of us
time to learn and/or redefine "in the mix".
We are on the right path.
Arber should be tried at as a Forward if he still in the grey. He’s an asset that habs need and if we trade for a top 4 D I don’t think they will be place for him in the lineup.
Great breakdown discussion on this new hybrid defense and their problems adapting. Does this weed-out some of the defense core over time? 🤔
Hage and Demi both looking good. Great show guys!
They should send players in Laval to learn the system and bring them back once they know it.
In order to play any form of man to man, your team needs to be better than the other team at something: bigger, stronger, faster, more talent ect…
As rebuilders we are non of the above… but should they get the core used to playing it? That’s the question.
i didnt like what msl said about the fans.
if i told a pee wee coach an idea.he better take it.because thats what he is a pee wee coach imo.
he seems to have an attitude.doesnt take suggestion or delegate authority well
i had problems with bergevin and timmons.theyre no longer here
had problems with the medical staff…no longer here
really didnt like houle ruining the kids.no longer here
imo msl has 99 games to prove he can not be the losing coach .
the one that fans will look at and mock in a decade.
ruining his legacy as a winner.
solidifying one as a loser.
and yes i called him a loser.
thats why hes the coach,to lose.
i hope he doesnt think hell be around when they win.because he wont be .
gohabsgo
This management team should of unloaded and bought out the old guys,,,,there useless
The team is small and slow…They do not go to the net as the may get hit except for Galley
No fourth line toughness
No shut down line,,,,can not skate and are not big enough when things get tough.
its redic to single out X, he hasnt played in 2 games and they lost 2 horrible games in between, hes being hard on X because hes an easy target and Marty is feeling pressure from the fans to look like hes coaching, it seemed out of place for where arbor was and how long it has been since he played and the fact he could have taken any one else from the lineup and gave them a whooping but he didnt, I havent seen him talk about any player the way he talk about X
Everyone says this is not a development league, but when your lineup is this young, AND the youth is the core that is carrying the load, you have to be in development mode.
Excellent breakdown of the defensive system. You were the only podcast that explained something the laymen did not know existed. We saw the losses and you told us why. Thanks
This was extremely informative. Thank you
Thank you for the great explanation for HABS’ defensive problems. The football references were particularly helpful. Understanding the problem helps me to remain positive during the team growth process.
Habs defence has got smaller and softer
Send MSL to Laval and promote Pascal Vincent,an Actual NHL coach
If the new hybrid system they are instilling requires high IQ then they traded the wrong guys. Harris and Kovy are 2 very smart players. Mind you one of them is 6’4 and a right defenseman which they need.
If the new hybrid system they are instilling requires high IQ then they traded the wrong guys. Harris and Kovy are 2 very smart players. One is a 6’4 RD playing #3-4 in NJ.
Thank you for an insightful episode.
Good show but this isn't journalism either… in case you thought it was.
