Big Deal. Whining another term that gets thrown out there with no context. The manner in which they lost concerned some. Your posts are much more enjoyable when you concentrate on hockey and not what other posters are saying or doing. Sure it's a rebuild and sure shit is going to happen but decision making and execution must be commented on or this board serves NO PURPOSE. Congrats to everyone who stayed up for that are in order.Really thought knowing they were in a rebuild, a bad team with a couple of good young players with no expectation that people would not be whining over everything and every loss but i was wrong.
Post-Game Talk: At least they tried.

The worst part for me was the point we ended up getting.
The perfect example of what a loser point looks like warts and all.
I'm actually worried by the number of tanks on the continent. Mind you it didn't help Erwin Rommel.

The game with the Oilers and the Canucks, both, Kovacevic played an important part in those losses, the late goal when he fell in the late second period against the Oilers and a penalty with one minute left in the game with the Canucks.The worst part for me was the point we ended up getting.

Let's blame the Zamboni department for leaving the ice with an huge crack in front of Monty's net and that explains Matheson's fall on the ice.

Yes.
But some seems to search little things just to bash every decisions St-Louis makes. Everyone knew it wasn’t going to be a perfect season.

As long as Tkachuk answers to Xhekaj and takes his beating like a man. Or he can turtle that would be funny. Hoping for 2 losses.
Marty didn't have a strong game. But the reality is our lack of depth reared its ugly head when Savard couldn't go and Monahan left the game. Like I said after Edmonton onwards and downwards.

Yup 6-5 but the letdown was somewhat worth it seeing Leafs Nation celebrate in the streets that night just to see them crying the next day when that random New York Islanders goalie stole the game against the New Jersey Devils.
Don Cherry was complaining that the Devils should play Brodeur since it was an important game for Leafs Nation.
A rusty Huet over Halak is still a decision that surprises me. Especially how the game panned out.

So surprising what happened with Higgins. I was absolutely positive he was going to be a mainstay for a longtime on our habs. He had all the tools and was great that season.

You can say that about a few guys from the 07-08 team as well. Higgins/AK/SK were all players I thought would be core pegs with our forward group.
In hindsight, we should have packaged them for higher end talent.

This is true, I was actually excited about our future. Just shows you, you really never know.

If you take the NHL totals of both, the stats of both are very close, except price played a bit more games.

Never said, our goalies weren't trash............they are. The team going out to a 4 goal lead half way through the game needs a save now and then.
Monty let 7 goals in the back half of the game.....................saw the hilights, the OT goal was especiially bad.
Everyone knows the goalies are bad, but when you score SIX goals, let;s be fair to the team out front including the D.................

We said the exact the same thing about the exact same age difference between Subban and Weber after the trade, and they ended up retiring in the same year and Weber being better in the final years.
Sure, you don't need to convince me that Petry is a better investment than Chiarot - I agree completely.
My point is that NHL GMs don't see it that way for a lot of reasons, and even if I think most of the reasons are stupid, it's the reality of where the trade market was.

Xhekaj needs to learn how to balance himself in a fight. He falls an awful lot.
Like I said in the other thread, It's not only his balance, he tried to pull down his opponent like he did Kassian and it's failed a few times now.
