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

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I don't think Laine makes much of a difference tbh, he isn't the same player as his first 3-4 years in the league. They only had him with the team for part of training camp. I say they miss Monahan much more.

Yeah, that's YOUR outlook. The players probably saw Laine's arrival as a promise of a better future. The injury nixed that.

 

[1909]

Feeling like we’re in the mix tonight boys?

«mixed », you mean ?

 

[Xirik]

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.

depends, Shero I think tried more of a retool, After getting Hischier and getting Hall and him having his MVP season Shero thought the Devils were on the cusp of being playoff contenders and thought getting Subban was the last piece needed. It didn't work. Fitz was hired and Hughes was drafted and the real rebuild started.

The Habs and Devils rebuild started pretty similar with no stars to trade away for picks and the cupboard was bare because the previous GM.

 

[The Great Weal]

MTL is most definitely drafting top 3 this year

We would have to finish dead last to guarantee a top 3 pick.

...feeling like I need a few mix drinks more like.

 

[HabbyGuy]

So, let’s be very patient…. No Playoffs before 2030

If you think this team is better off with Monahan over Hage in our evolution arc, then I dunno what to say.

 

[sampollock]

What the hell is MSL's system anyway? The players looked confused AF out there so whatever the system currently is it isn't working.

Also MSL seems like a very stubborn person so I doubt he'll change anything since his skull seems about as thick as his legs.

Question is how does this help development

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Ahh shit there's 2 more periods of this ?

 

[Riddick412]

Another year, another group of people hoping they lose for a better draft pick so they can develop him, ruin him, then trade for peanuts. I'm so over that.

You better go get your jug of whiskey

 

[OldCraig71]

Jesus, isn't your opinion Your outlook?

 

[Nevins]

It's the same system the Bolts played when they won back-to-back cups, just so we are on the same page here.

MSL is not the coach that won that cup

 

[JimBoKW]

Move Slaf back to the to line and leave him there until they work it out.
Put Evans back with Gallagher and Anderson
Put Dach back with Newhook and Armia (until Laine gets there)
Then fill in the fouth line with the rest.
Stop changing the lines every night.
If someone is not working out bench them, don't f-up the other lines.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

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.

Yup, it's very concerning.

Our supposed core players worry me the most, they all look worse than last year expect CC's PP goals. The only thing they're learning is how to play like soft losers who don't know what to do or where to go on the ice, the coach is in over his head and needs to go before it's too late.

And Monty has always been a fringe NHL level goalie, nothing surprising there. His fluke run is officially over and served no purpose other than costing us a shot at Bedard. Now he'll play like his true garbage self.

 

[sampollock]

See what happens when Evan skates go to the net and shoots a good scoring chance figures who knew

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

We were spoiled by Carey Price carrying bottom feeder teams to a playoff spot, he really was a superstar and deserved much better.

I don't deny this , Price never had a great team in front of him. But I think a nhl goalie should be able to steal a game or make a key save when it's time.

 

[Canadienna]

Jake Evans can move his feet. Why can't the rest of them?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

You better go get your jug of whiskey

To throw at the TV and have to buy a new TV?

No thank you

Chocolate milk it is.

Chocolate milk from Giant Tiger is the best.

Then cook some raisin toast

 

[Mrb1p]

The rebuild is going along fine , we obviously wish for them to be good every year but its nice to see them bottom out and pick top 5 again , why some fans are so afraid of tank and want us in the mix with ghule as 1D and Suzuki as 1C blows my mind

I just wanna know, when did our rebuild start and are we going to be at the same level as the Devils next year?

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Yeah, that's YOUR outlook. The players probably saw Laine's arrival as a promise of a better future. The injury nixed that.

But wasn’t MSL and management saying they had no expectations for Laine and just wanted him to be happy playing hockey?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

When things are going bad in this team it shows lol

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Jesus, isn't your opinion Your outlook?

You responded to me on a post in which I said the players felt deflated because of the injury. In that scope, your own perception is inconsequential.

 

[Andrei79]

So, let’s be very patient…. No Playoffs before 2030

This team isn't a Monahan away from the playoffs.
