That would be like looking to Philly for a goalie coach I believe he was a video coach for Ottawa and became a goaltending coach in Florida where he did some great work with Vokoun and Anderson (as noted above by 31Careyprice).

fourtrax Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 So I know everyone loves Kirk Muller here, but since he took over the power play, it has been abominable, from preseason through the first five games of the regular season. We came up empty again tonight on five chances. Not having Markov should not be an excuse for the PP unit to do zero night after night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSD Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 i think that Pierre Groulx needs to work with price on his glove hand They have been. They've been working on Price keeping his glove hand higher than he's had it before. The second goal went above his glove and the second one went right under it lol. I'm sure they'll continue to work on it. To their credit though, yesterday was the first game where I was like hmmm that glove hand looks suspect. He's been pretty decent with it so far this season, just got beat a couple of times last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstStar Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I believe it was Pearn last year, though I could be wrong. Jarvis was in charge the year before. I could be wrong weep, but I thought Muller also was in charge of our PP last year as well. It had it's ups and downs, but for the most part has been our one strong point for the last 5 years. I'm not too worried yet, 20 games in and we're still struggling to net em while on the man advantage and I'll be concerned. For now, I feel they're testing the waters and trying to change things up, so they don't become predictable-a predictable pp is the easiest PP to defend against.

S-Bah Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Markov will be back Thursday, if the Habs have a power play when he's in the lineup I'm sure the scoring chances will multiply. They are missing their little general quarterbacking the PP, Subban is good but he's still a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepingminotaur Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 So, can we get a slow clap for Kirk Muller, Most Overrated Assistant Coach in the NHL? He's managed to destroy our once-vaunted power play in the space of a few short months. Not only are we not scoring, but we don't look ready to do anything efficiently with the man advantage. We're sloppy entering the zone; it takes us forever to establish possession; our point shots don't get through; our possession down low is terrible; and the forwards can't hit open nets on rebounds. What exactly does Kirk Muller do, besides mess up a perfectly good special teams unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly does Kirk Muller do, besides mess up a perfectly good special teams unit? Apparently Muller is well-liked by the players and he's a "good communicator" but I agree, enough is enough. These are essentially the same guys who were on the PP last year, and people can talk all they want about MAB not being here, but PK Subban is here and has better puck-handling skills and almost as good a shot. It's time for a change in the way the PP is set up, and sticking Cammalleri on the point is not the answer. Cammy is a close-range sniper and he should be set up in the high slot, not the blueline. AK or Pouliot or Darche or Eller (i.e. someone bigger or willing to play hard) needs to set up camp in front of the crease and let the Markovs, Subbans, and Cammalleris of this team fire away.

js2 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 It took a while but the Habs finally beat out Jersey for the worst powerplay in the league. I think it's best they go back to Pearn for this but with the way management is run they'll likely stick it out with Muller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
