This is complete nonsense. I'm sorry. What games have you watched? Under Martin the Habs played a passive style. They never dictated the pace of the game.
As far as your 20 years comment. How much talent did the other teams have prior to Martin coming aboard? How many vet coaches did we have in that span?
The guy was a decent coach, but some of you act like he was the 2nd coming of Scotty Bowman.
