Very unselfish play by Guhle. Team definitely has a great culture at least.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nice hit by Xhekaj.

Huge goal by Gignac, thought he would miss when he got that close.

They have two more wins than the Habs since 2015-2016.
6 less since 16-17.
5 less since 17-18.
20 less since 18-19.
11 less sinxe 19-20.
9 less since 20-21.
2 less since 21-21.
11 less since last year.
3 less wins this year.

Theyre exactly in the same position we are. They had a competing core from 05 to 15 and have since been rebuilding. The new GM argument doesnt work either, as Verbeek has been hired a month after Kent.

The argument I'm making here is that everyone is talking about "Aneheim has a plan" as a reason they suck so much. Since the 2019 draft, they've picked Top-10 or higher in 5 consecutive drafts. And they are still at the bottom of the standings and will be picking there again for a sixth year in a row.

2019: Zegras 9th
2020: Drysdale 6th
2021: McTavish 3rd
2022: Mintyukov 10th
2023: Carlsson 2nd
2024: they are currently the 3rd to last team in the overall standings = another top-5 pick.

That means Montreal would need to pick in similar spots until the 2027 draft.

2022: Slaf 1st
2023: Reinbacher 5th.
2024: they are currently 7th to last but could be lower = another Top-10 pick or higher.
2025: ??
2026: ??
2027: following Anahiem's "plan," still one of the worst teams in the league.

That's not a plan to me. That's being stuck in a losing pattern. I really wouldn't be happy if Montreal is still at the bottom of the standings in the 2026-27 season.

 

[HabbyGuy]

I'm jelly of @Rapala good for him.

 

[Koivu11]

[sampollock]

Nice hit by Xhekaj.

Huge goal by Gignac, thought he would miss when he got that close.

Kovacevic has had enough of everyone
