End of story we move on and no one misses JM because frankly he is not an NHL level coach anymore.

I never liked Martin as a coach. And I always thought he wasn't the right coach for this team.
But when the coach is the problem, you expect a quick turnaround when you fire him. That's what happened last year with New-Jersey, and that's what happened this year with the Blues. That's exactly what didn't happen with the Habs. Actually, it got worse.
Martin is not the one to blame for putting Plekanec at the point. He showed before he can organize a successful PP. He had nothing to work with this year.
