Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat Bedard in Home Opener.

[the]

Money Hands Monahan with the 1st star

 

[Saundies]

Pearson played a lot better tonight than he did against the Leafs. Hopefully Dach's not out long.

A win's a win!

 

[Big Lurk]

We're really bad with the net empty.

Habs are bad on the PP because they're constantly being pressured and they're static.

But every damn power play in the league looks like they could score one at any given moment because the Habs are extremely passive shorthanded.

 

[OldCraig71]

Exactly. Our in-zone defending is just way too passive. ES or PK, it's not working.

But that's okay, we'll fix that next year.

It's going to burn us badly and it makes our D look worse than it is, they are basically sitting ducks out there because the forwards are collapsed too low as well. I hate it.

 

[MXD]

You're stupid with your double PGT threads.

 

[Goldenhands]

Losing Dach feels like a huge loss. The team cant afford to lose him for a long period, otherwise thats likely another top 5 pick and a very long season.

Let's not kid ourselves. Even with Dach playing 82 games this is a bottom 5 team.

 

[Habssince89]

Who is the first call up if Dach is out?

 

[Jabba11]

Chicago giveth Dach

Chicago taketh away Dach



I've heard some ppl say that's a coaching decision.

IF that's true... put the kid in the AHL and let him loose.

He needs to develop.....

He needs to show more hunger. He has it in him. We can all see it and we all know it. I think he needs to play his game. Create, be opportunistic and win battles. Rush the net and use his hands. he has it all. Stop floating too much

I dont think so, bottom 10 sure, bottom 5 not IMO.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Who is the first call up if Dach is out?

Armia

 

[Nevins]

Brendan Gallagher played 10:10 during the game….I always liked this player who was overpaid by Bergevin but it remains sad to see this...The Gallagher case will become ´ Une Patate Chaude….

 

[zx81]

I don't think Hughes is going to get us anywhere. There are so many obvious issues with the team and I don't see any solutions. Starting with coaching. Physicality. Slaf. Special teams (coaching). And no upcoming stars that you can say will turn things around for them.

On the bright side, my chicken wings turned out great. Can believe how much you gotta f***ing pay for wings these days though.

Was there alcool in your wings sauce ?
Not that I 100% disagree with you but that seemed a bit harsh and negative.

 

[expy]

Not nice to call them stupid just because mine was first.

 

[River Meadow]

He needs to show more hunger. He has it in him. We can all see it and we all know it. I think he needs to play his game. Create, be opportunistic and win battles. Rush the net and use his hands. he has it all. Stop floating too much

Someone said coaches for sure told him to be more positional and stop doing that...

Probably not true, and I would hope not...

 

[Treb]

SJ holds that crown I believe

I guess it's an hard fought battle, but the point is that Chicago shouldn't be a barometer of how good your team is.

 

[OldCraig71]

Brendan Gallagher played 10:10 during the game….I always liked this player who was overpaid by Bergevin but it remains sad to see this...

I know it's early but he is really struggling out there, he will be in tough to get 15 points this year.

 

[JianYang]

Who is the first call up if Dach is out?

Effin glumac

 

[the valiant effort]

Monahan looked like a total moron leading up to the last penalty. Two games in a row he seems to want to give the game away late, a good tank commander after all, perhaps

No kidding... over $1 for a raw wing is pretty damn harsh.

You said it, there are huge gaps in the lineup still. And we're stuck paying/playing a guy like Gallagher.

Bergevin left a huge mess, it's a 3-4 year rebuild at a minimum.

 

[Nedved]

Brendan Gallagher played 10:10 during the game….I always liked this player who was overpaid by Bergevin but it remains sad to see this...

yeah, he looks like he's done, he has zero legs left. One of my favourite habs for a longtime, father time has caught up to him. I'm okay with him playing 10 minutes a night, I'm happy to see him, but he's just never going to be gallagher of the past.

Monahan is a top flight nhl player when healthy. glad we signed him and I hope he's healthy at the deadline because he will easily bring a 1st. damn he's good.

 

[MasterD]

Monahan is a top 3 player on this team, easily. He hasn't played much in the last few years and it's the second game of the season. Breathe

 

[Hins77]

Who is the first call up if Dach is out?

Joshua Roy. He is already a good player in the AHL. Give him PP time and playing on the second line with Monahan and Slaf. Armia isnt a player that I would like to see on the second line

No kidding... over $1 for a raw wing is pretty damn harsh.

In a restaurant or frozen ? Yeah that's costly
