Tough night last night for sure...................that said if nothing else, these guys are resiliant if nothing else.
They left him out to dry on several goals................brutal team play.
Nope.........we will still be in the mix!! Enjoy the game!!!!!!! Habs will not get beaten again by those guys.
Four games between now and April 5th, so no, they won't be eliminated. But, by then, there should be a few more points separating the teams still in the race.
The type of game they played last night is exactley what drives the fans nuts,how could you be so polar opposite of how you were playing just recently,the reselience tag becomes laughable,i too could care less about tonights game because deep down i know they obviously just don't give a shit about being consistent and the "tired" excuse is getting pathetically OLD,this team is so fu##king mismanaged between playing Monty to much ,or not enough playing time for Dobes, or playing Armia when he obviously is playing injured ,over playing Matheson,over punishing X the list goes and on and on......Again,Rookie coaching staff for a complete rebuild is just plain stupid but then again the GM is a rookie as well but God forbid you question any of his many wrong decisions.Three years in and what have we really decisively accomplished ? we basically have one somewhat solid line and the rest is meh .
For some reason folks cannot wrap their heads around that the team is just not good enough yet. We finished 27th last year? And the same team is supposed to be a contender the next? I am happy as I see improvement out of most of the young players, see much more flow and pressure in a lot of games and see our prospects coming. Nothing happens overnight and folks need to learn to enjoy the process. We have improved and will improve next year and the year after, enjoy it for Pete's sake, savor it! They absolutely care and have for the most part played their hearts out, good teams can afford to coast a little, we haven't had that luxury and it is starting to show.
Thank you! I'm excited! The last game I went to, which was also my first game ever live, was the game against the Capitals on Nov 1 2018 who had just won the Stanley Cup in June. KK scored his first goal (and second!), Domi scored his first goal with us, Gallagher scored twice, and Armia scored in the shortest time ever between two goals (4 seconds), Ovechkin scored twice (and it was fun to see him!) And were were trailing 4-3 with 3 minutes left and pulled out a victory 4-6. It was a like a dream!
Honestly 2nd best case scenario to making playoffs and Flames pick being 11th. What a ugly last few games when they had to be playing playoff hockey to stay in it.
That was very well said, sir. We tend to hold our goalies to a much higher standard than the players in front of them. The Carey Price years spoiled everyone and were not an accurate representation of what a goalie should have to do for a team to win consistently.
I hope the separating is with us high and others low! But looking a little bleak right now. Still if we haven't been eliminated it should be fun!
Line combos or matchups?
Lets not forget Philly has been ahead of Mtl up until late February… They since let go of Frost, Farabee, Laughton and lost Ristolainen and Hathaway to injuries.
Our defence – or lack of it – killed us. Blatant missed assignments and missed outlet passes. Dobes was shaky at times, and the lousy coverage in front of him didn't help.
People assume that every year... That's why it's an upset whenever an 8th seed does win (as infrequently as that may occur(
Depends on the 1st & 8th seeds.
These runs are possible if you have a tank in net. Average to crap goaltending ain't gonna take us anywhere
