GDT: Game 51: WILD @ HABS January 30, 2025 – 7:00PM ET. TSN2, RDS

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Put the lines in the blender and hope something works

Try something instead of chew gum and look down

 

[The Real Timo]

8 shots in 2 periods... that some a whole new level of bad.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Carrier is putrid without Guhle.

 

[LV426]

8 shots in 2 periods against a tired team... Ugh

 

[Monsieur Miz]

I hear some boos.

 

[the]

How we supposed to win this if we aren't even getting a PP? It's been 2 games now FFS. We need a Laine PP

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

1st period 3 shots
2nd period 5 shots

Positivity!

 

[The Great Weal]

Take a shot for every minute this 2nd line gets hemmed in our own zone

 

[Riddick412]

Misread. 8 shots still pathetic.

 

[LaP]

I don't know why everybody is so doom and gloom in here it's not even that bad , even the Jets game we could have won if the bottom 6 could bury one, first line is generating great looks that's all i care about.

Demidov will help Laine

What we see is what was expected. The team is not ready. It was never meant to be. Again people got caught evaluating a team during a good sequence instead of looking at the big picture. The team is where it was supposed to be. Not bottom 5 anymore. In the mix for a good part of the year. But ultimately not experienced and good enough to make it and should draft anywhere in between 8th and 15th. And the plan should still be to sell despite what everyone think. Those vets are not good enough when they are not being carrier by Hutson, Suzuki, Caufield, Montembeault, Guhle, .... all those vets are easily replaceable even Evans i like him but he's a 3rd line player you can find one without too much trouble it should not be a priority atm.

No emergency and can't get the puck to the net. Easy win for the wild. Goodbye the "mix" and start the firesale

 

[Theodore450]

Merrill and Bogosian. Too elite we never stood a chance

 

[HabsCode]

These players don't give a funky, why would I? Netflix time.

They were playing over their head the last couple weeks. Riding the adrenaline rush of Laine’s comeback. They are just back to normal.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

8 shots through 2 periods vs a team on a back to back is embarrassing

I'm not that impressed with our roster , we were running on a miracle

 

[badfish]

Wild, Islanders, Devils... Teams I'm just never excited to watch

 

[Walksss]

Pretty uninspiring hockey fr

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

How many times has Dach fallen tonight? Flashes of KK

 

[windycity]

Wow 8 shots, on track for 12. Whoopee

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I think Laine brings even less.

If we are honest Newhook, Laine and Dach are all underwhelming, with huge flaws.

 

[Hins77]

What a shitshow to watch those minnesota wild. Even if they are better than Montreal on paper in the standings, I wouldnt like to cheer on that defensive team which rely on player who block shot and they only counter attack.

 

[Nicko999]

Carrier is putrid without Guhle.

Rather the honeymoon is over and he is back to reality.

 

[The Real Timo]

How does the same team goes from play exciting hard fought hockey just a couple of weeks ago to this? Anything who thinks they are 2-3 years from anything resembling competing is dreaming.

 

[Theodore450]

I'm not that impressed with our roster , we were running on a miracle

We have Dobes essentially steal wins while our PP and 3rd line were a legit threat each game.
Other than Suzuki and Caufield. Nothing screams playoff team

 

[JianYang]

Minnesota has 5 guys back and the first guy isn't even over the red line.

This is another LA.

Reminds you that there are still teams like this out there.

7 full periods plus 12 minutes of 1 period + a partial OT

Pretty crazy
