(My point was : scratching a veteran (intended key veteran) is pointless if you end up scratching him and dressing Paquette and Wideman, also both veterans, as a result)

gally out : Pezz in
Wideman out : Eddy in
Petry in : benched.

gally out : Pezz in
Wideman out : Eddy in
Petry in : benched.

... Again, that just means more minutes for Savard and probably sends Paquette right back in the lineup.

(I'd be all for giving a rest to Petry and Gally).

 

[Sterling Archer]

My lineup:

Anderson Suzuki Caufield
Drouin Poehling Gally
Toffoli Dvo Ylonen
Lehkonen Evans Armia

Edmundson Petry
Romanov Chiarot
Niku Norlinder

My lineup:

Anderson Suzuki Caufield
Drouin Poehling Gally
Toffoli Dvo Ylonen
Lehkonen Evans Armia

Edmundson Petry
Romanov Chiarot
Niku Norlinder

Evans deserves so much more right now.
I have the same defense as you but the FW lines should be :

Anderson - Evans - Caufield
Drouin - Suzuki - Toffoli
Lehkonen - Poehling - Gallagher
Pezzetta - Dvorak - Armia

I’d be fine swapping Evans with Dvo but no way so I have him down as top line center.

 

[Frankenheimer]

Not sure what I’m cheering for anymore.

 

[Tyson]

Too predictable
Habs lose easily and the same excuse makers make the same excuses.

Rinse and repeat

 

[Monsieur Miz]

I'll be watching because I'm a masochist and watching them lose brings me joy now.

 

[Phil Parent]

You guys, I just popped myself. Hadn't really looked at the standings since the start. Wanted to see how far away we were from the playoffs.

We're almost the worst team in the NHL, with many games in hand.

Had to laugh. The deadbeat Senators and probably-moving-so-no-one-gives-a-shit Coyotes are about to pass us.

Cup finalist to dead last.

I'm not watching this, come on. That shit last night made me ashamed to be a fan. I mean, we're getting humiliated by Buffalo now?

It's so obvious the players don't care. And the coaching don't care. And management don't care. And ownership don't care. THE PRESS is f***ing sedated, IMO. And you know the problem is for the Habs? In a world where entertainment options are all over the place, people care less and less about them. And this turd of a season will leave marks.

 

[MilesNewton]

start with Petry and Gallagher

scratch Petry
make someone who is currently playing the captain the past is over time to move on.

 

[peate]

What's the logic, if any, in using 7 d-men? Seems counter-productive? Oh right, I forgot...

Habs will be Habs.

Habs will be Habs.

Since this organization is hellbent on not playing Pezzetta due to his usefulness (!), dressing 7 D-Men means only one of Paquette and Dvorak are dressed. That's the logic.

 

[McGees]

Habs will show up tonight with a chip on their shoulder after getting blown out last time vs Pens.
7-1 Pens.

 

[habsfan891]

Crosby is always good for at least 2 points almost a guaranteed loss tonight.

 

[Lshap]

Reminder: You're free to vent and/or discuss tanking in the appropriate thread. This isn't it.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

It's exciting to watch a team that scores one goal per game.

Can't wait to see who's going to score that goal tonight.

 

[cphabs]

My Russian neighbors know that I’m Ukrainian… They have bought a chicken. One chicken. “steal this Chrissy”. Chris is my first name.
Unbelievable
Love it!

I'm intrigued, yet simultaneously confused.

 

[cphabs]

I'm intrigued, yet simultaneously confused.

Ukrainians, like myself, are noted to be chicken thieves. Not sure why. First time I heard this was 30 years ago by my best friend in HS. He was Swedish.

 

[Censored Toad]

Well I guess I’d wager we see like maybe 10 minutes of life from the habs , they won’t score and then get scored on a few times and it’s over , habs lose 4-1.

It will be bad hockey

Unfortunately I'm the same, I get pissed when we go on the PP

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

7 D and Chiarot will still be most used D on the PP

This coaching staff is abysmal.

Why even have Norlinder or Niku play? Pretty much eliminating what they are best at

And maybe the magician Drouin will reappear from his disappearing trick. Wait. Who am i kidding

 

[Tyson]

I was an advocate for keeping Norlinder around but my thinking has changed.
Please send him as far away from this bunch of losers as possible.

The day Jonathan Drouin is no longer a Hab will be a good day.
