Post-Game Talk: Habs lose again to the Jets

[Goldenhands]

Habs played well for the most part of the game, Winnipeg is a hell of a team with the add of Dubois, we deserved to win this one until the last 5 mins of the game where we started playing to secure the point... The OT was a disaster and I agree with everyone that sending Danault and Armia wasnt a great decision by Ducharme...

 

[The Real Timo]

I'm starting to feel bad for the guy at this point so I hope Danault finally does score a goal soon. For the Habs to have any hope of making the playoffs they're gonna need guys like Price, Danault, Tatar and some others to start playing like they're capable of.

So monday should be a 1 year anniversary since Danno's last goal, isn't it? I feel like a special thread is required.

The 4 Habs centers so far this season have a combined 9 goals scored between the 4 of them with Suzuki having scored 5 of these goals himself. There are currently 11 centers in the NHL who have scored 9 goals or more themselves.

MB gambled on going with Danault and 3 very young centers and it hasn't worked so far and it's a huge problem right now.

Habs played a typical Habs game. Lots of pointless buzzing, few quality shots, inability to sustain offensive zone pressure. Shots number is misleading. Lack of finish. Result as expected. I had no doubt that if the game went into OT it would be a loss. Team has no clutch performers, nobody with talent good enough to match Winnipeg and a dumb coach on top of all that. Sigh. Same old same old.

Hey there, listen up NOOB, I am the sheriff of sleep town and there ain't room for the both of us.

Gimme your benediction dear SLEEPER GOD

Im not worried about the playoffs personally, cant see Calgary, Vancouver and Ottawa passing us in the standing, we are a much better team on paper... If we play like yesterday, we will be back at winning games really soon...

He did score an empty net goal in game 5 vs the Flyers in the playoffs. His last non empty net goal was scored at 2:40 of the 1st period against the Canes on February 29, 2020.

We played fast and effective, Hellebuyck had to make some great saves all night long, we had the best scoring chances and limited the Jets' powerful offense to basically nothing, it will come as the team start winning some games, the confidence will grow up...

Well then.. he is miles and miles better than Gomer. Lol.

Therein lies the problem. 3 on 3 is all about mobility: whether attacking or defending. To put any player on the ice in a 3 on 3 situation that is not an above average skater is inviting your team to lose. the weaker skater will be exploited creating an odd man rush. What I find incomprehensible is that we have a coach (s) that doesn't understand this simple dynamic. But then again he is French, so he can fluently explain to the press in the chosen language why his team lost.

guess the team would be better of with Richardson as interim

MB gambled too much this offseason. He needs to go.

He's a professional and has put himself in this situation. Probably has some cleaning up to do with his agents, assuming they are the ones who recommended that he not accept the Habs' generous offer in the midst of a pandemic and given the economic downspiral for all NHL teams.

I don't feel bad for him, he's already a millionaire, he's playing a kid's game for a living, he's young and healthy and will have more money than he can spend the rest of his life. I care more about the posters in here who for the most part, won't get a sniff at one iota of what he's making and will be making. I only wish him well but feeling sorry for someone who has everything and who will get a lucrative contract anyway, I can't go there.

These are critical dates as the Gomez countdown clock has become activated.

The new guys he brought in though have been performing quite well compared to the players still here who couldn't get it done during the past 3-4 years. The new guys have been a breathe of fresh air but there's still too much stench left over on the team from previous seasons who couldn't get it done.

Calgary worries me. Especially if they eventually get rid of Ward as coach.

 

[Rapala]

He obviously hasn’t been paying attention to Danault’s poor FO% in recent games. There isn’t even one redeeming quality in the player at this point. It goes to show us what a steal Eller was at 3.5 m

Interesting to note that since this thread was created on the main board the Habs have 2 wins in 10 games.

Montreal is the best team in the league

And 2 in their last 9 since this one was created.

The Habs are here to burn down your village!!

I stand up, take a hat off and applaud this post. I could never bring myself to feel bad for any of them. Even if some kind of illness befalls them with their money you know they are getting the care that none of us could ever dream about.

Someone quickly go make some similar Leafs threads on the mainboard.

Ok I have calmed down after a good night of sleep.

Still mad that we try to protect the tie in OT with f***ing Danault and Armia. With the way Ducharme explained, he basically said we were shorthanded at 3 on 3.

Maybe it was a message towards the GM that we have no fire power and no talent and it shows in a 3 on 3 situation.

Well then the GM must have been sent the same message since it’s inception. Thick as a brick.

 

[Mrb1p]

Only two games this week ? Wtf I heard the schedule was supposed to be hard lmao, they literally play a normal schedule.

 

[Rapala]

I thought there was lots of goodness in the game to build on:[/QUOTE

Wake me and @OldCraig71 up when we have some greatness to build on.

A problem now but maybe a solution in a few months when MB is shown the door. There is no way he survives this season if it is yet another failure.

I wouldn't go there

The Dude cursed himself. I’m still puzzled as to how he could make such a public statement given how inept offensively he was in the last half of last season and the playins/offs?
