What has been talked about for weeks and months not to mention years (for some of the most ardent critics) has finally occurred, Jacques Martin has been relieved of his duties. Most of you that read my blog know that I was never a Martin apologist but in a city where you're either with him or against him, I would have to classify myself as having been with him. I thought he was a solid coach with the record and results to prove it. Was his system perfect? Far from! Was it boring to watch the Habs play hockey? For the most part. Did the system actually work? Only when all 6 players on the ice did their job and did it with near perfection. Is that a sustainable strategy? Of course not.
