HF Habs: 2023 Roster, Schedule & Standings Thread

[BozoTheClown]

Just f***ing stupid!!

 

[Gravity]

 

[Riggins]

Flames seriously suck. It's like a free W every time we play them, last year included.

Winning these SO games constantly is killing us.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

IF Caufield is out for any length of time this team will tank.

 

[hardcorehabs]

For the greater good

 

[26Mats]

This is what rotten tank culture leads to in fandoms ^^^

This is one individual statement, not the culture.

FLA 15 overall for Chariot (1/4 season)

If this happens, will go down as one of the worst trades of all time. It would almost be a guarantee we hit on that pick as well lol, as it would almost be punishment for their GM being so stupid

Getting another Guhle or Caufield for Chiarot would be dirty.

But, no guarantee we hit on the pick, unfortunately.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

If it is a concussion I hope they keep him out until they are absolutely positive he is 100% recovered.

Well if any draft is most likely to give it, it's 2023. Absolute highway robbery

 

[WeThreeKings]

Calgary legitimately sucks.. they have nobody who is really threatening out there. Huberdeau made money off Barkov.

 

[WinterLion]

Not a terrible night for the Tank. It's looking pretty dire for FLA at this point. 5 points out of a playoff spot and 4 teams in the way is a pretty big gap.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good news Ottawa won. Bad news they lost Stutzle which means Brassard might be their #1 C going forward. Ouch.

St. Louis-Nashville game went to OT, so we didn't gain much ground at least.

Anaheim & Chicago are the 2 worst teams in league, and it's not close. 3rd place CBJ are already 5 pts up on Anaheim with 2 games in hand. What a tank job by the Ducks!

We still hold picks #12 & #13, except Florida's pick is #12, Montréal's is #13. We passed Florida!

 

[Riggins]

30 games from now when we're still two games over .500 I'll be in a straightjacket mumbling Jake Allen's name.

...Then we'll get Bedard with the Florida pick.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

You have to wonder how long the team can last playing 3 lines too.

Suzuki played almost 26 minutes tonight. Dvorak played over 23 minutes, and even Evans got 22 minutes.

Dach was also over 22 minutes, and dumbass Hoffman played over 20 minutes.

Pezz & Pitlick got 5 minutes. Basically, we didn't play a 4th line.

Canadiens began a string of 4 games in 6 nights with this Calgary game.

We play Ottawa Wednesday, Anaheim Thursday & TB on Saturday.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Guess what Buttman. Your lottery isn't working. You have at least 3 teams actively tanking. Chicago, Anaheim and Arizona definitely.

 

[ReHabs]

Seriously really really really sick of this shit. Two garbage goaltenders playing way over their heads to f*** us in what should have been a key moment of the rebuild.

Yeah. I’m not a tankist but it’s really annoying to have these two keep stealing games they don’t need to steal. And it’s not like they do it regularly enough to get us to the playoffs either.

 

[26Mats]

True!

Hughes has been fantastic. And like most highway robbery trades, it takes one smart GM and one GM capable of making bone headed moves. May get the Florida GM fired, as Forsberg for Erat contributed to McPhee's demise in Washington.

Got to make that push for 18 overall!

I wouldn’t Tank any chances with this injury. I would just say Tank you to Caufield for his very hard work this season and reward the canTankerous forward with a sTanky new contract and let him Tank the rest of the season to recover.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I will say that after watching Calgary.. I'm glad we have a future 1st.

That team is middling.

You'll have to explain to me how Allen is playing over his head when he's having the worst season of his career stats-wise so far.

Habs won last night because they played better than the Flames, Markstrom almost stole the game since the xGF were 5.98 for the Habs vs 2.80 for the Flames and this went to a shoutout.

I agree with Ana and Chi since it is very obvious. I think Arz just sucks though.

Either he gives up 5+ goals or he’s making close to 40 saves a game. While his overall stats aren’t good, he’s still stealing games, like the two against Calgary and two against Detroit. Like last year down the stretch he was pulling ridiculous games out of his ass to make what should have been an easy journey to worst team in the league, to coming down to a last game miracle victory by the Coyotes to determine draft odds. That’s a potential difference between picking 1st or picking 4th, depending on the lottery.

And this is just Allen. Now Montembeault goes from worst goalie in the NHL last year to good 1B.

He steals games he has no business stealing but doesn't play well in other games. Some call it barbell hedging but for the Habs' tank it's the worst of both worlds.

Stop it with the tank fever stuff. Habs earned a hard fought win and give credit where it's due. Flames took the Leafs to OT and showed up against the Habs. Markstrom played very well and it was a high intensity game.

Did you watch the entire game?

What else would you expect? Top 15 goalie value where he is more consistent? Allen is doing what Allen does... 1B quality but in a 1A role.

He should've been sold and not extended. This was the one year we should've tanked.
