Habs coming off their second consecutive loss and adding to a wider losing record involving retro reverse jerseys. Several have claimed that the retro reverse jersey is cursed and some have even suggested that it ought to be burned.
They finally managed to snap a 0 for 23 PP drought from the 6-games prior to Ducks game. Caufield scored two, including a PP goal. He had also scored in the prior game where the retro reverse was worn, so he's immune to any of its ill effects.
Slaf barely saw any playing time in the 3rd period of the Ducks game. I wonder what happened there.
As Slaf is trying to make his mark, he leaves no one indifferent. Some are not quick to judge while others, are not as patient.
One poster claimed that Slaf emitted "Balki vibes" from Perfect Strangers ...
However, turns out that Slaf occupies a much larger role:
We found out when he issued his first diagnostic on Caufield's health, following a shot the latter had taken to the head, causing him to leave the game.
The last time the Habs saw a player (ex-player by then) act as a physician, he was none too kind and his assessments were purely based on spite.
Slaf certainly has an uphill battle, given how several Habs fans continue to believe that the Habs are unable to select a worthy player whenever they have an early first rounder in their drafts, despite a totally different management contingent at the helm. The last guy to be drafted early is still being brought up in not so flattering terms.
On the good news front, we have learned that Moneyhands has ditched his walking boot. Hopefully that means a relatively short timespan before he returns to the lineup, although you never quite know how durable Monahan might be given the challenges he's had to face in the last 4 years.
One thing is certain -- when Moneyhands is out of the lineup, you can immediately notice it. Not to mention the headache it causes to the head coach who has to scramble to replace him.
With the erratic play and lack of effort by some of his players, we have seen Marty lose patience time and again.
Hopefully, he won't let it get to him too much -- it's supposed to be a development year. Just focus on the process, there will be better days.
