GDT: GAME 12: BOLTS @ HABS | Bobrov laying down the cheese! | Tues. Nov. 7th, 2023, 7PM -- RDS, TSN2, TSN690, 98.5FM

[Rapala]

Think they need to go or that Marty needs better assistants?

He needs better concepts.

 

[Sugi21]

Be nice for #22 to start scoring some goals the reason why he was paid the big bucks

 

[PhysicX]

And is Matheson healthy? f*** I hope not man.

Probably not. I understand your frustration with how they're managing Guhle's ice-time. Not sure whether they're right in holding him back, would want to see him on the PP.

 

[Hins77]

I heard Jake Allen when he was to coming back to the bench, he was saying, « at least I won the molson cup »

 

[montreal]

If this kid doesn't pan out as a top d-man boy oh boy is there going to be hell to pay.

it's still so early that anything can happen but when you look at the early results from Cooley, Kulich, Michkov to what Slaf, Mesar and Reinbacher are doing, I think it's safe to be a little concerned.

But Reinbacher could end up the next Weber and Slaf/Mesar could be good NHLers one day, who knows but boy are there some red flags popping up. If I'm Hughes/Gorton I don't think I would be sleeping as well cause if they did f*** this up ala KK/Galchenyuk, etc... it's just going to push things back even further as we must find high end players somewhere.

 

[CharleyHorse]

3 shots on net and the 1st is almost over.

Tampa isn't even a "very good" team this year.

I bet part of their motivation tonight is the embarrassing loss they were handed last night -I think they were up 4-1 or something like that, and lost in OT. That had to be frustrating. Plus, although not unexpectedly, we suck. I just wonder if / when MSL is going to snap, (sit someone, pull him out of the lineup, etc.), ofrif he thinks this team isn't there yet and he's practicing "aggressive patience" (or whatever he called it).

 

[Gravity]

still has a lot of work to do,

I believe that was sarcasm on his end.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

This team is so f***ed lmao

 

[nyhabsfan]

draft a forward with that top 5 pick ok?

We'll pick a LD dman.

 

[zx81]

The record for the worst plus-minus in a game is -9 (Greg Joly 1975)

 

[LaP]

There is not a worst time for Allen to give 4 goals in a period than today. None.

Two of those were quite weak too. I mean TB deserve to be lading 2-0 no doubt but it was tough period for Allen.

 

[SlafySZN]

They’re good. They just miss vasy so they have to score more goals

 

[schwang26]

I shut the game off so I could catch up on Fear the Walking Dead. Yes. That’s how bad the Habs look tonight!

 

[nyhabsfan]

EFFFFFING GET PISSED OFF>>> HIT SOME ONE HARD!!!
GET INTO A FEW FIGHTS!
SHOW ME A GOD DAMN PLUSE!
GO EARN SOME RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY ARE LAUGHING AT ALL OF YOU!!!

That's my first intermission speech!

 

[Takeru]

Still too good for the bottom 5?

The crumbling was predicted, I guess it's coming sooner than most expected.
October record means very little, as always. Real contenders are kicking the next gears while we don't have the gas to follow them.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

I am so glad someone else starting to see it.

I've been watching the Habs for 23 years, and on this board since 2002. The narrative has NEVER changed. I can't recall a single season where people didn't hate the coaching. And I'm willing to bet it's been like this for a hundred years. At some point, you gotta start thinking the problem is you.

But if it helps y'all feel better about the state of affairs, hey you do you.

 

[Gravity]

We suck on the ice, then we have Bobrov-Lapointe off the ice........

 

[Nashy]

The Oilers called.......its a hard no for Allen.

By passing on Michkov Reinbacher has to end up as a number 1 dman, it's asking a lot.

I won't get into Cooley and company, it's too much to take at this point in time.

 

[zx81]

Lets remember that this is essentially a tank year where we can still try for the sake of the youth without hurting our pick. This is what the team might look like at its worst, but there will be nights where they look incredible. As long as we remember that the team is actually trending up (and it is, with years to go still) it becomes a little easier to stomach these Ls.

But i'll say this, I will never stop hating Kucherov.

The depressing thing is that rebuilds are not an exact science. Some teams are on a 12 year rebuilding phase and are still not good.
I may die before I see another contending Habs team.

Yes, it's the fans fault this team has been putrid for decades.

You guys need to STOP!

Yeah but again nobody here has the skills to make those evaluations atm. It's fine to be concerned but people are way to quick to jump to conclusion. Good example is Zegras. Maybe it's just a rough start for him but maybe also people were to quick to be impressed with him filling the net playing ice capades with a losing team no pressure to win no pressure to play defense. It's very hard to evaluate players properly when the pressure to win and play defense is not there which is the case with mtl, arizona, flyers, sj, etc

 

[McGees]

Oilers coach’s face creeps me out for some reason.

I just had to share that news, carry on.

 

[Gravity]

Should've traded Anderson when his value was high, not when it's tanked.

contending? maybe. but they'll be in the playoffs sooner than later (for better or worse)
