Went to the can & return to find the Habs have dropped a deuce 0-2

3 shots on goal? Yikes. First day of Winter blahs are terrible.

3 sog and 1 of them was so slow that I'm not sure it would have crossed the goal line.
Horrible period.

were you on the throne for the entire period? Are you ok? lol

 

[Garnet76]

We needed a Michkov but we also needed a Reinbacher. Do you see the dogshit players we are putting out there on defence?

Same can be said about the forwards! Difference is exciting talented forwards put butts in the seats. A solid 2 way Dman doesn't.

 

[le_sean]

Dach was gonna score more goals than all of our current guys? No shot. Newhook should not be a team's best goalscorer, it's the equivalent of having Justin Barron as your best RHD.

Dach was going to set up his linemates to score, not necessarily be the top scorer.

 

[sampollock]

You got a link? Or are you using a TSN subscription?

I found a streaming site casted to the TV... I had sunrise for the last 8 years this year because the way they have suck I decided not to blow the 250 bucks

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Both are playing - Pezzetta is not

Great, thanks.

 

[The Great Weal]

Dach was going to set up his linemates to score, not necessarily be the top scorer.

And who would score? Caufield and Suzuki not scoring goals is not due to a lack of chances and opportunities. Slaf has been great lately but has zero finishing ability along with the rest of the team. Anderson's missed hundreds of empty netters so Dach's passes wouldn't change that.

 

[HabbyGuy]

CC is a lot less likeable now. No production. Not much value for the money. Another contract Habs will regret.

Yeah, no. I think he'll be fine.

 

[Habs13]

Its an interesting approach in MTL

A developing team is being developed by a developing coaching staff

And useless washed up vets play minutes while the kids sit on the 4th line or press box.

 

[dinodebino]

You said a little but said a lot right there. How are you liking the single life?

Not single anymore.

 

[Rapala]

A team of little girls. We are so cowed by the Wild. Heineman is the only forward taking the body.
Meanwhile Guhle is messing up Barron in this one.

 

[HabSgt]

were you on the throne for the entire period? Are you ok? lol

I generally read on there so it takes awhile. I am ok but are the Habs?

 

[The Real Timo]

Yeah, bo. I think he'll be fine.

Oh I’m sure he is fine

 

[Whitesnake]

Sad that we are actually missing Belzile on that 4th line...lol. Stephens is not a 4th line C. He's fine to replace guys 2-3 games but he's a career AHL'er. Ylonen should have a more offensive line. I'd balance them all.

Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf
Heineman-Monahan-Anderson
Ylonen-Dvorak-Gallagher
Armia-Evans-Pezz

 

[le_sean]

And who would score? Caufield and Suzuki not scoring goals is not due to a lack of chances and opportunities.

Everyone would be doing better. Not having a guy like Dach puts a lot of pressure on everyone else. He would have demanded the top defensive coverage. The PP would be a lot better too.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Oh I’m sure he is fine

I mean I neither think he's unlikeable or that we'll regret his contract.

 

[sheed36]

Same here Sheed and now it's snowing by the reeves and wind is gusting to 80 kms/hr from the NW. It has been a rough December.

We've had a decent Dec but the past 3 days have been awful with the rain. Suppose to get a little snow overnight but only 2-5cm I believe. Haven't heard snowing by the reeves in a good long time.

If it's not raining by the reeves it's snowing by the reeves me son.

 

[HabSgt]

Not single anymore.

That's why he's divorced now!

I kid, I kid

 

[expy]

Just got back from McDs, forgot there was a game.

That second goal was extremely weak, even the first goal's shot was kinda floaty.

 

[knuck]

I generally read on there so it takes awhile. I am ok but are the Habs?

they look like the thing you flushed

 

[Rapala]

Everyone would be doing better. Not having a guy like Dach puts a lot of pressure on everyone else. He would have demanded the top defensive coverage. The PP would be a lot better too.

Suzuki has to shoot the puck on those two on ones what a waste.

 

[sampollock]

That is true and Kirby is truly missed. But one forward gone should not derail complete scoring on the whole team
there's a lack of talent on this team true talent that has to be identified and fixed which I hope they will

Inside of trading next to give us maybes

 

[StCaufield]

No it’s not because they’re playing in Minnesota. It’s because they suck and have sucked before they even won their last game in Minny

 

[The Great Weal]

Everyone would be doing better. Not having a guy like Dach puts a lot of pressure on everyone else. He would have demanded the top defensive coverage. The PP would be a lot better too.

We aren't scoring because of a serious lack of goalscoring talent, not a lack of chances. A guy like Suzuki has set up teammates millions of times despite getting all the coverage and nothing gets converted. We have one legit sniper who has been nonexistent at 5v5 and Suzuki is allergic at shooting.

 

[Garnet76]

Yes

Minny has a small forward group. Montreal should be standing them up at the blue line and force the dump in where Montreals bigger defense should win most of the battles.
