No matter how bad it will look for gainey to fire carbo, being its the 100th year, and he brought him in, HE MUST DO SO!
I believe that if gainey wants to stick to his idealogy of having a diverse european team, then he must have the proper management in place to win. I have nothin against having all the russians on the team, I do want a coach who can cater his coaching style to producing the most out of these guys. Gainey is the one who can do it. When he took over as interim coach before carbo became head coach, he commanded fear from the players. They respected him. It is time for gainey to get behind the bench and teach kovy and sergei how to play some hockey and win some games.
at least he put together teams who consistently made playoffs. This team needs someone outspoken and who will change the franchise and not regurgitate the Andre Savard era.
Still never won a cup as a GM....and is an ******* to boot.
Clarke ain't rock bottom.....Milbury, now that's rock bottom.
Not to mention Vigneault won coach of the year after we ran him out of town...
It doesn't mean all Habs coaches are geniuses but at the same time, how many decent to good coaches can we run out of town before we start looking elsewhere for accountability?
If you blame Carbo for tonight's game...god help you
Yep...no doubt. We need a shake-up trade, not a coaching change. I'm sure the MGT and coaches know who the cancer's on this team are...time for some addition by subtraction.
send a 1st round pick to Toronto for Grabvosky
this would send a fire under both Kostysyns and perhaps that carries over like the plague to the rest of the team...
The team's just not that good. We have four solid forwards (Kovalev, Koivu, Lang, and Tanguay) - two of which are injured. They are surrounded by a bunch of inconsistent youngsters, and fourth liners (don't get me wrong - I love Kosto, Lapierre, Begin).
We have three solid defenceman. One playing over his head (or was, Gorges), and guys in Bouillon, Brisebois, and Dandenault who have been fringe NHL'ers for a while now.
The goaltenders are young and shaken because the team in front of them is playing poorly. A trade would be nice, but the real action will happen in the summer. Until then, let's just hope we make the playoffs and can catch some magic.
This is really true. Compared to a team like the Devils, this team is pretty bad.
