GDT: Game 18: Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins 11/18/23: 7:00pm EST CBC, SN, TVAS

[Rapala]

Summary of the period: Habs didn't know they are allowed to touch the puck.

Losing the possession game so badly against good teams is what will exacerbate our plague of injuries. Not to mention our morale.
Did Marty say "Positionless" hockey or "Puckless" hockey.
Next practice I would simulate a scrimmage with no puck maybe that will help with our positioning.

Unfortunately the power is out here in this part of the world but I just checked the score and the shot totals after the first and realized that sometimes a power outage is a blessing lol.

Honestly it's very tempting to turn off the breaker.

This will be 2 regulation wins in 18 games.
It must be the lowest number in our history.

And we barely won it in regulation against Chicago.

That’s what you get when you combine bad coaching with bad players.

 

[Yasuo]

Remember when some poster tought this team was to good for bottom 5?

 

[morhilane]

Don't want to defend the coaching staff, but is anyone looking at the roster actually thinking "yeah, this team should be better than it is".

This roster isn't even doing the strict minimum that doesn't even require talents.

MSL said this afternoon that defending these days in the NHL was mostly moving your feet. Are the Habs moving their feet in the dzone? Nope.

You ain't missing a thriller.

back in april in bought a $410 000 condo and right now I can hear one neighbor game, another one watching what I assume is the game and a bunch of kids running and screaming

im so f***ing pissed

 

[The Great Weal]

Slaf's usage is awful. Everything about this pick and his development just screams inevitable disaster down the line.

Friedman be like I don't wear any makeup when doing Saturday NHL games on Sportsnet.

Well said! Suzuki would be an awesome 2nd line centre for any team. Here, he is playing against the top lines in the NHL. Same can be said for other players.

Yeah MSL is good for that, sound bites to the media. Not sure what else he’s good at that though.

was it a molson condo?

 

[Habano]

I hope Marchand chirps Slaf and calls him a bust and tells him he plays like he's 5'2" 125lbs to hopefully make him angry.

Jethro can't get angry

 

[zx81]

At this point I only watch to see if CC or Andy will score

 

[Tyson]

Slaf's usage is awful. Everything about this pick and his development just screams inevitable disaster down the line.

The newness of this management team has wore off for me. So many rookie mistakes.

 

[Rapala]

That’s what you get when you combine bad coaching with bad players.

Marty's ability to squeeze every drop out of the lemon last season hurt us bad. If we are going to suck I hope we do it properly this time.

 

[sheed36]

C'mon Slaf.. Set the tone..

Only SJ has a worst goal differential. This group is clearly a bottom 5 team, we are slowly finding our way. We will be there by christmas.

 

[knuck]

was it a molson condo?

no hot dogs included

so no

 

[salbutera]

When 1 guy (Dach), still unproven, is seen as a Habs saviour....says a lot about the quality of this team.

Thank god we have Guhle on the back end.

Not quality but depth. Without Dach, everyone gets moved up a slot away from their ideal position

Development is all about slotting pieces of the puzzle in their proper position

 

[zx81]

Nice pass Andy

 

[le_sean]

Marty's ability to squeeze every drop out of the lemon last season hurt us bad. If we are going to suck I hope we do it properly this time.

I think that was just guys relieved not to be playing for Dom anymore and having freedom.

But now the lack of structure is really showing.

Gorton is making the same mistakes he did during his NYR days.

 

[The Real Timo]

Anderson... holy f***!

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Oooh

Donkey

Of course teflon man cant be sat from this nutless staff
