So depressing, more so when you know that there is no guarenteed in the end.
Sometimes no guarantee is better than having it.

If i give you a 649 ticket there's no guarantee you gonna win. But since you got it for free it's better than the guarantee to not win by not having it.

Purposely being a bubble team by filling your team with vets like Patrick Traverse, Karl Dykhuis, Patrick Poulin, Jonas Hoglund, Dave Manson, Igor Ulanov, Marc Bureaum, Scott Thornton, Zarley Zalapski, Murray Barron, Pat Jablonski, .... make it almost 100% certain you'll never win it all unless you are extremely lucky at the draft or can fleece a Rejean Houle type of GM.

We were at the point where we had to start from scratch. There's no guarantee other than maybe which is better than hell no.

It is but you need assets and cap space which we did not have when MB left. Outside of Caufield, Suzuki and a 1st overall pick the best asset we had was Toffoli and i like the guy good player would look great next to McJesus but as the best trade asset that make sense to trade it's very weak.

So you are of the opinion that you can acquire elite talents via trades even if you don't have grade A assets to tarde. And you are of the opinion that you can sign elite players with no cap space left and 17 millions on LTIR?

Gross exageration, i'm of the opinion that a GM can do better than

Habs is the best team in the NHL to end others team losing streaks.

6-4 Buffalo tonight.
seriously whenever ...:
  • A rookie has yet to score their first goal
  • A goal scorer is in a funk
  • A team is on a losing streak
  • A french canadian backup is in town for their first time

... we get destroyed

The quality of the GDT's currently equates to the quality of the on ice product. Folks are simply not enthused any more.
yeah who wants to spend days working on something that people will forget after 2 hours because the team just got blown the f*** up

. people need to take a breath and see how things play out. Getting all twisted and bent out of shape and pretty much doomsday when we have only graduated 2 players, to this point, is just missing the forest for the trees.
But also we’re not supposed to keep our emotions inside, it’s how we get hemorrhoids, so…

What's our little tyrant's excuse for not scratching a single turd for this game? Just no accountability for the effort and performance? Will someone have to commit an indictable offense for Pez to get a game? 'Pezzzz izn't goin ta helpz' - Yeah, he isn't going to hurt either
