Great analysis TrueBlue4ever! Well thought out and definitely not too long. When there is well thought out information and reasoning provided, it is never too long.
The only thing I can add, is I am now on the remove Maurice bandwagon. I wasn't till this debacle of a showing with Montreal. You hit the nail right on the head - he is not able to adjust to a tight checking, block at the blue line, game style and I am surprised he didn't expect that style from Montreal. That is how they won against Toronto when they finally decided to take the games seriously. This is a disturbing trend that needs to be fixed and I think only a new coach can do that.
