GDT: Game 14: Montreal Canadiens @ New Jersey Devils, 7th November, 7pm | TSN2

[Rapala]

Fun times...
GDT for SKA but not for The Montreal Sucking Canadiens tells a story in real time.

Yes. At this moment in time the Habs are the worst team in the league. By the end of the weekend they'll probably be 32nd overall.

Doubtful. San Jose, Nashville and Philadelphia are all below us. Tonight, Flyers are @ Tampa Bay. San Jose is hosting Minnesota, while Nashville is also down 0-2 in their game against Florida.

Saturday is just as bad. Montreal is @ Toronto. Philadelphia @ Florida. Preds have a chance against Utah, so maybe they pass us Saturday night. Sunday, Sharks are @ NJD.

We may eventually end up 32nd, but it won't be by the end of this weekend.

IF Nashville can beat Utah, Montreal loses to NJD, Toronto & Buffalo (on Monday), and Philadelphia beats SJS in OT on Monday, Montreal will be 32nd end of Monday night.

I'd love to have Price back amongst the team as a goalie coach

 

[McGees]

Low iq?
Positioning?
Size?
Skill?
Grit?

Something is wrong with the make up of this team.

 

[The Great Weal]

I don’t get taking Slaf off the top line. Instead of at least having one line that scores you now have zero lines that score.

Because Dach would be going for a -100 season having him anywhere else. Nick and Cole need to babysit him until he's back to NHL pace.

 

[Justin11]

If not now then never

At some point they are going to have to. The first unit has been terrible.

Price = superstar
MSL=superstar
Gretzky= superstar

These guys cannot teach.

 

[zx81]

Rebuild or not, we'll have to eventually win a game or MSL will be canned

 

[OldCraig71]

8 shots 2 goals . History repeats itself

I don't blame the goalie on either of them. We have to give them some support.

He’s dragging them down a lot

 

[sampollock]

Players want MSL canned maybe??

 

[Redux91]

I hear you now, I still don't see Marty doing a "Biden' and stepping down, he's far too stubborn for that with an unwaivering belief in himself. I guess we'll see.

Oh my god
You are not understanding what I am trying to say lol

HE WONT STEP DOWN
When they will Fire him, they will be ANNOUNCING IT AS "Martin St Louis steps down from position to focus on other endeavors"

Habs hire Montgomery

These guys cannot teach.

Goalie coach teaches techniques, positioning, provides advice. It's not the same as a team coach. He doesn't need to guide an entire team.

I don’t think management is even contemplating.

I fully expect a 2nd half turn around for this team this season, as Dach knocks off the rust, Slaf finally gets going and Laine comes back. These losses honest mean little in the big picture, team will get better and there will ultimately be progress by end of the season, with Demidov coming next as well.

The sky is not falling, it's just a process of a rebuild.

While this is true, perhaps, it doesn’t explain the lack of determination to play with any intensity. Routinely giving up on plays, always outmanned coming back up ice. For Pete’s sake they cannot put two passes together as they struggle to make even one. I’m not on Marty’s back but I’m ready to hop up on there. It’s the coach who preps the players at game time. The late goal and overtime loss to Calgary was very revealing.

 

[Mrb1p]

NJD started their rebuild in 2015

Oh no! *checks notes* Fitzgerald was hired in 2020, so they're only in their 4th year of rebuild! We're so close.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Coaches seems overwhelmed
Veterans are not showing anything
Rookies are lost
Defensively it's a mess
Our goalies can't make a key save
Our PP is so easy to read.


Allowing a goal after the 1st shot again , deflates the team completely who's already playing with 0 confidence to begin with .

Like everything is going bad . Even the 2 players we wanted to see are injured long term.

 

[OldCraig71]

Whatever he did to motivate them last season they aren't responding to it this year.

 

[zx81]

I don’t think management is even contemplating.

We'll see after 20 losses in a row

Wasn't your original post "Marty might actually step down" this was what I was responding to....

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I don't blame the goalie on either of them. We have to give them some support.

They deserve support i do agree , but sometimes you gotta make that extra save , which never happens this season

 

[Nevins]

MSL system= Pee Wee

 

[The Great Weal]

He’s dragging them down a lot

I don't disagree, but he is still infinitely better than everywhere else he's been tried.

 

[Habs13]

14th game and Habs have allowed 20 first period goals. Most in the league.
