I am a new Habs fan from the Philippines. Initially this was my way of connecting with my son who was, at that time, studying at Concordia University. I have listened to different podcasts and tv stations, read articles from different sports writers. I have nestled into this unknown world of substack because of both of you. I subscribed to The Athletic because of Arpon and learned about the translation button for the english version of marc antoine's articles. You are both insightful and have very interesting points of view. I look forward to your "stories" and after every podcast I come away more informed. I have stopped listening to other whiny podcasters. The habs losing is bad enough. Listening to negative commentaries is just like rubbing salt into a wound. I'd rather just do my laundry. Keep up the great work!
After listening to the portion about other teams using the hybrid idea for defense, you mention that Florida used it to win the cup. Do you know of other teams that run it, and which teams run it the best?
Great show. I am in full agreement with Marty’s approach on implementing the Hybrid defensive coverage system. My question is what should MSL and KH do with veterans who are making as many mistakes as the young players? I take they are in the learning phase but how long should MSL tolerate the mistakes. He sat out Arber and I get he has limited options with the injuries. When healthy I would like to see him healthy scratch a veteran if they are not listening. Should be no exceptions. Doubt that player could not say he does not know why he is being sat.
Arpon and Marc-Antoine thank you to continue those great podcasts! Do you think the key of this starting season is the efficiency of the first trio at 5vs5?
They were looking very promising last year. Caufield is scoring great for now, but he seems not playing well to cover his teamates this season. I thought last year he became more complete in his game. Slaf is not as impressive as last year and for me he is the big key of the current team you want to shine the most. I trust Suzuki to get back on track.
They have to sink sink sink. There’s no need to patch this team up unless the offer is too good to be true, which, in the team’s current situation, it won’t be. If they insist on using this system too, they need to get smarter d-men, do that at the deadline and during the season. Get the lower IQ d’s out, being smarter guys in.
The best pod cast theme song!! The amount of times I have gotten this stuck in my head!

Faut qu'un moment donné un coach s'adapte à ses joueurs. On peut pas demander à un éléphant de monter dans un arbre.

I meant bring, not being.
