Je comprends que les joueurs sont payes mais dans le fond tu veut gagner des matchs pour aimer jouer le sport sans ca tu va aller jouer un autre sport, non?
En tant que professionnel tu dois d’abord et avant tout être capable d’être motivé par le défi et être en mesure d’assimiler et appliquer ce que l’on exige de toi. Criss on te paye des millions pour ça.


Et puis c’est evident que les joueurs realisent que Kent Hughes fait zero pour les aider en allant chercher du renfort.
Hugues est encore aux prises avec certains contrats/boulet (Dvorak Anderson Armia Gallagher). Difficile de bouger quand tu n’as rien à offrir, et on peut pas dire qu’il y a des candidats intéressants à aller chercher non plus.


En plus le systeme de MSL suce en tabernac! Les joueurs sont perdus la plupart du temps pis…CA MARCHE PAS!
On peut dire en effet que MSL a atteint son point de saturation et, en fin de compte, il aurait peut-être mieux valu qu’il soit embauché comme adjoint avec un vrai coach aguerri. Son apport aurait été plus ciblé sur le développement des jeunes et il n’aurait pas à s’occuper du reste. En ce moment il donne l’impression de n’accepter aucune aide extérieure et que seul lui est capable de diriger le navire.

a) Bien beau dire qu’ils sont des professionels qui sont payes des millions mais dans le fond ils sont quand meme des etres humains.
b) C’est vrai qu’en tant de joueurs ils n’ont pas beaucoup a offrir. Et oui ils ont encore quelques gros mauvais contrats. Mais ils ont quand meme beaucoup de choix au repechage qui pourrait servir a transiger en plus d’aider a interesser d’autres equipes a prendre quelques-uns de ces mauvais contrats. Ca s’est produit ailleurs et le Canadien a lui-meme ete recipiendaire de telles transactions dans le passe (e.g. Sean Monahan). Un bon DG trouve toujours une facon d’atteindre ses objectifs.
c) Tu es 100% dans le mille dans ton dernier paragraphe a propos de St-Louis. Un gars comme lui va trouver ca humiliant si on le force a engager un assistant entraineur avec de l’experience comme entraineur dans la LNH. D’autres equipes l’ont fait comme le Lightning avec Jeff Blashill, les Leafs avec Guy Boucher, Bruce Boudreau et Paul Maclean, Vegas avec Dominic Ducharme, Therrien avec les Flyers, Claude Julien, DJ Smith, etc. Mais peut-etre que MSL manque de confiance pour sa securite d’emploi? Il y a de bons coachs qui pourrait l’aider comme Gerard Gallant, Guy Boucher, etc. Mais Martin en veut pas. Il s’est meme fait critiquer par son DG (Hughes) de ne pas aimer deleguer a ses assistants-entraineurs!

Auston Matthews will miss tomorrow’s game against the Habs

The Habs have lost 6 games in a row but got some good news for tomorrow’s game. Auston Matthews was put on IR today by the Leafs due to an upper-body injury after missing their last game against the Bruins. Craig Berube mentioned prior to the Bruins game that the injury wasn’t serious & it was a day-to-day thing. He’ll miss tonight’s Hall of Fame game vs Detroit & tomorrow night’s game vs the Habs. Word is that he may return next week against the Sens.

Since Anthony Stolarz gets the start tonight it means that Joseph Woll will be between the pipes vs Montreal. Likely against Montenbault, i presume? He shut out the Leafs 1-0 in their season opener in a game highly dominated by the Leafs. Ryan Reaves (no relation to George or Keanu) is playing tonight so it’s not certain he’ll play tomorrow. Connor Dewar got the green light to play again (following surgery) so he might get the nod.

Should be a good one!

Stolarz and his studly .928 save % has relegated Woll to seldom used backup status. Playing in just 3 of Toronto's 15 games so far, Woll has a .892 save % in this very small sample size to show for his efforts. However, this duo is a veritable "Dream Team" when you consider the recent goalie history of this team includes "legends" like Andrew Raycroft, Vesa Toskala, Jonas Gustavsson, Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer, among others, LOL.

Not really. Joseph Woll was out with an injury since the beginning of the season and just returned two weeks ago. He barely played during the preseason so that’s why Berube is playing it safe with him since he has been prone to injuries & there’s no hurry to rush him in since Stolarz has done a masterful job since the start of the season. Since Woll’s return he’s been rotated with Stolarz, which was the plan all along since Stolarz hasn’t played more than thirty+ games in an entire NHL season so far, which is why the team is also being careful with his playing time. However he was brilliant once again tonight & playing Vezina-type hockey so far early into the season. But he’s on an expiring contract & Woll was signed to a multi-year deal during the offseason so if Woll can manage to remain healthy he’ll likely be counted on as the team’s #1 goalie as the season goes on although Stolarz will likely play half of the games if things go according to plan. Stolarz will likely get the start against Ottawa next week.

The Habs are expected to go with the same lineup in tonight’s game in Toronto. In other news Patrick Laine was seen on the ice skating today at their practice facility in Brossard. If his rehab goes according to plan i expect him to be back in January. But this team needs considerably more help than just Laine if it wants to calm the waters & start playing consistent competitive hockey starting with the coaching staff implementing a new game plan which the players can understand & play to accordingly. For the 2 1/2 years MSL’s game plan has been a total failure so far. It’s not only up to the players to change their approach to the game. It’s also up to the coaching staff to re-adjust instead of stubbornly sticking to their original plan which is not working & must ne frustrating as hell for the players, especially the veterans.

Craig Berube has announced that the Leafs will be going with the same lineup as last night against the Habs. The only change will be that as expected Joseph Woll will be between the pipes for the Leafs as Toronto never plays the same goaltender in back to back games. As for the Habs with an extra day’s rest Sam Montenbault gets the start. He shutout the Leafs 1-0 in their home opener in which was by far his best game this season. Toronto badly outshot the Habs in that game but Monty was literally a brick wall.

Expect Arber Xehkaj to get into a fight with Ryan Reaves who will be looking forward to avenge his close loss to the Mtl player in last year’s opener. I expect they’ll wait for a goal or two to be scored before going toe to toe in order to use a needed change of momentum as an excuse for their fight.

Xehkaj will also be playing in front of friends & family so he likely ended up having a hard time sleeping last night. The last thing he wants is to embarrass himself in front of his loved ones & at the same time wants to prove to coach MSL that he can be a reliable defenceman when he’s inserted into the lineup.

One thing about their one & only fight which happened a year ago: Ryan Reaves was at the end of a shift when he accepted Xehkaj’s challenge. Right away i thought “No! Wait until you’re rested, Reavo! Never get in a scrap when you’re at the end of a shift!” And then during the scrap Reaves was pushed into the back of the net & was tripped by the net. This time Wifi likely won’t have the same luck. I expect them to discuss the upcoming fight prior to the start of the game during the warm-up & plan the right moment for it to happen. Should be fun!

I don’t mind the fight following a dirty play or such but, personally, the agreed fights prior to a face off are so useless for the game and only brings a touch of ridiculousness. Maybe they should just fight in the corridor leading to the changing rooms, so the game could go on! Lmao

The fight I want to see is Arber vs. Matt Rempe. I am hoping Rempe will be back and we will see this fight when I go to MSG to see Habs-Rangers November 30.

Since Arber got pummeled by the likes of Tanner Jeannot & Nicholas Deslauriers last year i’ll be surprised if Rempe wouldn’t throw him around like a rag doll! I doubt Arber would fight him.

Most of the fights today are predetermined but i share your opinion. Predetermined fights are a joke & the league is an even bigger joke for tolerating them since they penalize players for playing without a helmet or penalize hits to the head in order to avoid head injuries.
