Obviously, Carbo did some rookie mistakes as a coach but he isn't the main problem this season. In my opinion, he will be a good coach so next season will only make him better along with the Habs!

carbo is a great guys and has been a great player, but he is not ready to coach in nhl. Of course fans loves him and media too because he says the real things. Bu that's not what makes a good nhl coach. Too often this season he tried bizzar things as soon as the team started to play bad for a short period of time. If the team loses two games in a row then the linme for the next gaame looked like that :

streit koivu jonsson
higgins plecanec perezogin
begin bonk kovalev
latendress lapierre ryder

sometimes it looked like he put all the players named in a hat and pick random lines. He doesnt have the experience to coach in the nhl and we could see this all year long when he faces tough decision and had to take them under pressure. It's sad because he might have been a great coach if he had done his classes in the junior and minor leagues but bringing him right away behind the bench in montreal was a mistake

I tend to agree with you on some of the points you made.Halak should have started the game...Huet looked awful even in the first most of the shots were from the outside, he didnt make any real huge saves.
i disagree about kovalev...he stickhandles way to much and loses the puck alot of the time. It seems to me like he has no heart left...Remember last year when he ran over TUCKER....Thats the kovy i no
this year idk what happened to him but as far i im concernd he n sammy should hit the road....We have youth that can step up and fill those spots
Carbo is a new coach and may need time, but i think he steped in to soon....He should have never been handed the job like he was
NOW FOR GAINEY....wtf is this guy thinking....souray....gone for not so much as a used bag of pucks.BURKE went on record saying that bob never called him to even offer souray to him...so if we dont sign him were sol....
