Where that tank thread at? It’s time guys.

This is a lottery pick level team. You can see it after 7 games.

Clearly

Have to wait for the Mods to give their blessing, lol.

This!

Last yeah, we had so many lost by 1 goal... rarely blown out of a game. In 6 game, we been blown 50% of the time... and didn't look fantastic in two others, just good enough.

It is obvious that lack of depth combine with injury will prevent the team to be in the mix, but make sure you implement a system that allow the team to compete now and in the future when the injury stop and depth is improved. There are still fun players to watch even if the outcome of the game is a L: caufleid, slaf, suzuki, Hutson... maybe dach in January.

Alot of folks are missing the point that many frustrated fans have.
Most of us have bought in and continue to buy into the rebuild.
I believe that after almost 3 years that there is a system in place that doesn't seem to click and while this team is young some of these players are entering their 3rd seasons under MSL and the so called defensive structure/concepts/whatever the hell it's called.
When you see teams play shinny in the Habs end shift after shift it does demoralize the die hards who simply want to see
general improvements which we really aren't.

Quick review-
Rebuild good
Current system in place- bad
Fans want to see a structured team that competes and shows signs that soon this team will be amazing.

Whoever thought that hiring a head coach with zero experience was a good idea longterm may want to rethink that.They have tied their own hands with their miserable

They set their own rules with hiring coaches. They have to live with it.

It won't age well but I agree with you.

Sad to say, but the playoff mix will be put to bed by the end of October, smh.

So many flaws and such a weak roster i just don't see how any improvements can happen quickly.
They get the day off tomorrow, maybe they will go bowling.

Honestly, even if they had the roster to make improvements, I've lost faith that the coaching staff has the ability to implement any.

Their D zone coverage has been horrible right back to last year, and Bombay keeps running with the same shitty "system" game after game. How can he not see this isnt working!!!

Can't remember seeing a team get so schooled in the own end so bad every night. What's funny during the play you can see it coming.

What's crazy is that many fans refuse to hold MSL responsible because it's a "rebuild". Does rebuild mean that we have to look like clowns in our own zone? This coaching staff imo is showing itself to be very incompetent. It won't end well.

Rangers in year 6 of the year rebuild look elite

 

[Kimota]

Its time to insulate the team with vets that care

MTL has enough picks, put Dvorak and Armia on waivers, hope someone claims them. ECHL them

Grab some waiver fodder on expiring contracts who will at least battle and protect the youth

Oh ya, find an assistant that has a clue. Someone with experience that the kids might respect

Anderson, bro. Has to be done.

 

[McGees]

Coming up next:
"Habs held a closed door meeting after the game, trying to find some accountability between the players..."

then next week:
"A lot of people are counting us out but the guys in this room still believe in this team..."

 

[morhilane]

Rangers in year 6 of the year rebuild look elite

They have only 6 players under 30 among the forwards and their two top Ds forced a trade to the Rangers.

Without Fox and Trouba, their Ds would be younger than the Habs and they have great vets forwards in the top 6.

Habs have 3 over 30 forwards, and they should all play in the bottom 6.

We’re down 5-2, they’re dominating the game and he [Jacob Trouba] decides to do something like that. I didn’t really like it. I know I probably would have done something or fixed it if I had been in the lineup. I’ll remember that and we’ll see what happens the next time we play them.” - Arber Xhekaj

They should dress him. Makes the game worth watching at least

No what they need is some worthless plug who they can dress solely to take care of worthless trash like Trouba.

How much of this casts a spotlight on Robidas?

 

[Habby4Life]

A lot but the whole staff is underwhelming.

I will say this about MSL, he can be a good mentor to the young forwards but who is that guy for the young D, Robidas????

Why they did not hire an experienced staff is beyond me.

Did you notice how they kept sending their big guys into Primeau’s kitchen pushing and shoving smaller Habs players around when we had nobody to stand up to them and when they were leading handsomely and didn’t need to do that?

We just don’t have the right horses — and more roster turnover is needed to weed them out and replace them with more effective personnel that can stand up to that kind of repeated intrusion.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

I think it is certifiably hilarious to say we had a strong start in a game that was 4-0 10 minutes in.

Also saying that Gorton built the Rangers - he shit the bed drafting in the top-10 every year and lucked out by being the GM of a team in the single most desirable city to live in North America. Unless you think a Norris winner and a 100point superstar are going to force their way here, whatever the Rangers accomplish is irrelevant to our future.

They canned him, made moves to win now, and immediately started competing.

NYR have won 1 Cup in 80 years, how's that desirable market working out for ya?

Outside of Hutson, all the Ds should be able to clear the front of the net and tie sticks there. But more often than not, it's Slaf who's doing it...or nobody.

 

[Chili]

Not surprised Trouba got nada. I remember when he concussed Sidney Crosby with a head shot in a playoff game a couple of years ago where the Rangers looked like they were about to be eliminated. And he got nothing that time. One of Department of Player Safety's main concerns seems to be not to discourage hitting in the game. Someday the NHL may be forced to address hits to the head although seems like the evidence of correlation with CTE is already there.

Having the ability and doing it, are different propositions. Too many chuckling simps out there — they’re great for the locker room and video tidbits to entertain fans.

If Xhekaj was able to do it, he would never have to sit in the stands again...
