I don't hate Martin personally, but he had the teams to win at least one Cup and couldn't get them over the hump. Lalime? Yeah, not Patrick Roy, but I think he had some of the best numbers in history at the time.
41 games, 21 wins, 20 losses, .926 save %, 1.77 GAA.
That means that Lalime got it done, but the rest of the team couldn't score. For what reason? Who knows, but at some point in those 6 or 7 years, you point the finger at the coaching staff as well as Lalime and the players.
This man cannot win in the post season. No one knows why, but it's the truth. If he had a chance, he got outcoached.
