I think they'll get over it pretty quickly once there is a solid roster in place. And when I say solid roster I mean a roster that doesn't have Chris Wideman, Edmundson, Drouin, Hoffman, Armia, Dadonov, Dvorak, Gallagher, Anderson, et Co. So I hope Habs have a few therapy sessions lined up to keep the Suzukis and Caufields of the world sane until the better roster in in place.
Bottom 3 is out of reach. We'd have to win 1 out of 4 games with no loser points for the remainder of the calendar to even have a shot. We have to aim at 29th; this is as low as we'll manage to get.
Agreed. I think the best we can do with the Habs odds is 29th. But....we could also get to 28th with the Panthers.
I believe our core players are very well aware of what is going on. Even if coaches and players don't tank, they surely know that no help is coming for this year. Our useless vets know they have one foot out of the door. It's just a weird transitional year for the players. I wouldn't be concerned about that until next year where we are hopefully more competitive and boasting 2 top 10 picks either on the team or in the pipeline.
Playing a bit of devil's advocate here.
Well we are 32 out of 32nd worst on the power play so yea, I agree that we can’t possibly be worse.
He
Armia finally in the stands
% deserves to sit. He should be embarrassed to have become such a brutal player. No heart, no character. He plays hockey for a living but he damn sure isn't a hockey player.
Kane is the main tank driver there, even if Toews has also contributed his fair share.
Arizona is alot better than their record indicates. Two weeks from now they will be well ahead of this Habs team. Touringny has them playing hard every shift. They actually compete.
When has this ever actually happened where the team built a respectable roster around the young players?
It doesn't matter
I think Columbus might surge a bit, but Chicago and Anaheim are just on another planet.
