He gives the most boring interviews in the history of interviews. He's worst that Vigneault, Therrien and even Patapouf Julien put together.<br /><br />However, considering the 2009/2010 playoffs, the 2010/2011 season with all the injuries to key players and the first two games against the ruinsm, he must be doing something right, as much as I hate to admit it. <br /><br />Selling his game plan to a mix of semi star players (Gomez, Gionta Cammy and a few others) and not so star players (Pyatt, Moen, Sopel, Gill and many others) is an exploit that deserves to be mentioned.Paul B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-79734878860928416752011-04-17T11:24:19.041-11:002011-04-17T11:24:19.041-11:00Glad to see Martin getting his due here.

Lots of hockey to be played, but what he has accomplished over two trying seasons has been impressive. <br /><br />Whatever transpires over the next few weeks should not take away from that. <br /><br />In addition, to a man the team is focused and grounded. I suspect you won't see a celebration until/unless they win 14 more games this spring.Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-5923655705872989782011-04-17T09:50:17.750-11:002011-04-17T09:50:17.750-11:00How can you not like the way this team is sticking...How can you not like the way this team is sticking together? I mean Moen, Pyatt, Darche, Eller and Weber in front...this is not supposed to be a AHL team! With heart and team work you can achieve everything. What a lesson we are seeing here friends. Enjoy the ride.

And what happened to dour, aloof Jacques Martin, the one who ruins kids? He actually talked to a player (a kid, no less!) on the bench and behaved like a father would. I guess I've misjudged JM -- he really DOES know what he's doing, but must care very little about explaining it to non-cognoscenti like me. <br /><br />I know the series isn't over (as PK pointed out so well). Nonetheless the coaches (whom I was ready to dismiss as doofuses -- well, ok, not Muller) have done a wonderful job preparing the team for Boston. The team have shown more heart than I ever believed them capable of. Cammy blocking shots! Gomez actually seeming to care! Pleks back to his form at season's beginning! I'm ready to eat as many words and as much humble pie (crow) as is necessary. Go Habs Go!Hansolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977164939341185983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-62011904247757586452011-04-17T07:33:40.100-11:002011-04-17T07:33:40.100-11:00I have been critical of Gainey and Gauthier for so...I have been critical of Gainey and Gauthier for some of the deals and choices they have made. It's time for me to admit I haven't got a clue and just enjoy the ride. Price is indeed a thoroughbred and above all a winner as is Subban. Throughout their brief careers they have done nothing but win and obviously Gainey and Gauthier have made some excellent decisions. <br /><br />If I was a Bruin fan I would be tearing Chiarelli a new one for stocking my team with losers. He adds players from great organizations like the leafs, Panthers, Thrashers and the Senators. They bring nothing to the team and seeing emotionless Kaberle and a confused Horton skating around doing nothing much is fun to watch. Horton has no clue about playoff hockey and Kaberle doesn't seem to care. <br /><br />As you correctly point out, the Hab veterans are leaders and team players though they may lack high end talent. Players like Darche diving all over the place to clear pucks and disrupt passes is priceless. Haven't seen one Bruin do that. Julien is forced to use Thornton late in games because he at least has earned his way to the NHL unlike some of the others who seem to feel entitled to advance without doing the work.<br /><br />The series isn't over until you win 4 but the Habs look awfully good.<br /><br />Thanks JT for another fine post.dustynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-34167295923103148852011-04-17T07:15:04.482-11:002011-04-17T07:15:04.482-11:00I have to chuckle that the first green guy you men...I have to chuckle that the first green guy you mentioned is White.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.com
