GDT: Game 65: Montreal @ Seattle, March 12, 10:30 PM ET | TSN2, RDS, KHN, KING 5, KONG

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Rough period for Slaf this reminds me of that horror show earlier this season.
The only difference is the posts.
Seattle seem like they have a boatload more talent than we do.
We are not even close to getting inside that D.

For Slaf?

He was no better or worse than the whole team. No point singling one guy out when entire team looks like shit

 

[The Great Weal]

Hopefully Demidov comes as advertised so MTL has 4 top 6 forwards

The lack of depth is scary

According to his cheerleaders, Newhook is playing excellent hockey and has just been unlucky all season. How dare you not appreciate that and not even factor in his Selke like performance and bruising physicality every night?

 

[Pure Laine]

Pez isnt an NHLer but the least he could do is bring some hits and energy like he when he first arrived

Now he skates aimlessly

No idea why they sat around all yr with him in the pressbox

Lol he could fight someone

If you say so...

 

[Riggins]

That Columbus 2nd better be good. Not sure I can handle watching Laine much longer.

Until we get a PP

Who gives a shit about this year though? Seriously. Hughes probably wanted to sell but caved because his team wanted to try to make it.

Problem is that HuGo would probably prefer to have Heineman or Newhook on the PK but coaching staff wants to win

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

If you say so...

Most people would

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I'm kinda sick xhekaj at this point, he just flat out sucks. mailloux can't be worse

He can... We need to trade this fraud.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Well

He could be a punching bag but at least the hair would flow

...Marty isn't coaching like he wants to win...continuously throwing out trash like a Roy-Newhook-Gallagher line is not trying to win...

Exhausting a already overburdened Suzuki seems counter-productive to this though.

But Forrest Newhook skates skates skates

Some people don’t get it. They just defend management through everything

Can’t give up a 5th round pick, that would kill the rebuild

Which trash would you prefer? After the 1st line it's pretty slim pickings. He's gotta work the minutes somehow.

All those 2 shifts irked you so much?

 

[Rapala]

Most people would

No they wouldn't. Slow and knocked on his ass more than once meanwhile he's got that one handed stick wave going. Suzuki and Caufield had jump and were alone for the most part on most shifts. Slaf was no where near the net when the puck arrived. That isn't going to work.

 

[Habs13]

Shots were 15 to 5. This team is so pathetic sometimes.

I agree.

I think so far management has done a decent job rebuilding this team to where they are but there was no excuse not to punt Pez, find a semi capable 13th forward center who you can actually trust on the pk and 10 minutes of ice

Still a long way to go but some small moves would have at least helped keeping players in their roles

 

[MarkovsKnee]

They added 3 shots to Seattle's shots during intermission. Lol

15-5 instead of 12-5.

The whole team is falling over themselves, its a joke you are singling one guy out

He has no idea what Marty wants from him, and I don’t blame him. The two guys we have that were always physical and throwing the body or dropping the gloves were Pezzetta and Xhekaj. Both guys got the bench treatment. Now neither guy does it like before.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Dobes' glove is weak, he's often unable to catch and keep the puck with it...

 

[domiwroze]

As soon as the first line gets off, we're back in our zone. Crazy
