And the new 2C, right?Yes, along with Demidov and Fowler
I didn't think we had the team this year. So actually I think overall they've overachieved this year.If we lose tonight, then it's shameful. It's damn frustrating to fall into a slump at a critical period of time.
If the team has a good training camp, not intimidated by scrubs, and in shape for the season, they would have been a playoff team. Specially if Laine had played a full season surrounded by folks working harder. As it turned out, the early injuries and the tardiness in fielding a hockey squad in shape pretty much tempered these expectations into a moderate amelioration.I didn't think we had the team this year.

It is weird though that when we're on we can beat any team in the league with our speed, hustle, defensive game, and then mainly the first line carrying us with a little chipping in offensively from the other lines. Then when we're not on, any team in the league can beat us, even whipe the floor with us.
I think we rely on having 4 lines goint. And with Armia injured, the 4th line is MIA. Also, perhaps the high pace we play at isn't sustainable for more than 10 to 15 games.
Ducks are at 70 points and nearing .500. They've quietly improved a ton this year.Well... I guess let's go Canucks again. I hope Demko is lights out. And, as far fetched as it is, go Ducks.
If we just add just Demidov and a legit 2nd line center you will see a very different team and one that will be a playoff team.If the team has a good training camp, not intimidated by scrubs, and in shape for the season, they would have been a playoff team.

Considering Pezz doesn't bring much and Marty doesn't trust him, I was hoping we'd take a flyer on a young depth piece from waivers or the trade market.I get that they wanted to achieve something with the guys they have, but not picking up depth was a big mistake. Now they can’t sit anyone or rest anyone. Not that a depth guy always helps, but sometimes they do.
you would thinkMarty needs to prepare for his games better because last two games Habs looked lost. Last 5 actually, took big comebacks against Colorado and on the Island
Carrier helped a lot. He wasn't there at the start of the year.If the team has a good training camp, not intimidated by scrubs, and in shape for the season, they would have been a playoff team.

For sure, because without him, this season is not an amelioration and the owner would be justified in asking for some answers from Hughes, Gorton shielding or not.Carrier helped a lot. He wasn't there at the start of the year.
Adding Demidov, a rookie, to a country club would have the same tempered effect. The club needs to gain more discipline, regardless of the roster additions. I expect players to show up in top shape in order to be optimistic about a season. Otherwise, we may as well sticky the Tank thread.If we just add just Demidov and a legit 2nd line center you will see a very different team and one that will be a playoff team.
Although disappointing right now, making the playoffs this year was a best case scenario, especially with this flawed lineup that doesn't have a 2nd line center.
11 forwards and 7 dmen and we scratch the guy who's scored the same amount of goals as the entire 4th line combined since the break. I just don't get it.
Late to the party every single one of those games........................he has not had them skate on gameday, wonder if this may cause some of that??Marty needs to prepare for his games better because last two games Habs looked lost.
