I hope it's clear to many posters that this team must tank and sell at the deadline to accumulate better picks/prospects. Winning and getting a worse draft selection is detrimental to this team right now. At this stage, there are some great forwards to pick if we finish bottom 7, and that should be our only goal.

On one hand, all the games in the last week probably caught up to them in the third period.
On the other, it's a reminder there is still a long way to go, they beat some good teams lately but the goaltender can't stand on his head every night.

Can still play with some pride instead of looking like pansies out there against a hated rival.

don't post this, I can't afford a new phone or laptop from listening to that jackass.
Worst game of the year, a total defensive mess. When the goalie is not the best player, this team strugles a lot. Remember goalies have 10 stolen games this year according to advanced stats. With a performance like Montembeault gave us tonight, we see how weak the team is. Suzuki is so soft lately, Gallagher is a freakin bullet, unable to follow the speed of the game. The only excuse is that it was their fourth game in six days.

We shouldn't be surprised over game like this. Ultra young and inexperienced team. Missing almost the entire 2nd and 3rd line. Good for the tank anyway.

The team is a bag of asses and was playing for .511P% until last Wednesday. They got blown out tonight because it is going to happen here and there.

Anybody who thought we were going to hang with the likes of Boston this year was delusional. Especially with Dach and Newhook out this roster is ugly.
Give it a couple more years... the promise is there.

Should I stay up and watch a real team have proper special teams, or tap out and enjoy a quiet night...
He still made some good plays but as a 19 year old he gets a pass when the vets around him were worse.

Montreal has given up 15 goals in their last 2 games. Two really bad losses after some good games.
Caufield's goal was nice. At least he's back. Slafkovsky was great on that play.
Beautiful pass by Roy to Armia on Army's goal.
Great play by RHP on Gallagher's goal.
Kids are alright. They're growing. The vets are complete shit. Gallagher is becoming a big problem. He's at best a 4th line forward, and he's quickly closing in on not being an NHL level player at all, but he keeps getting chances & minutes he shouldn't get.
They get a couple of days rest then play Ottawa again on Tuesday. Then St. Patrick rolls into town on Thursday. It'll be an interesting week.

I kinda hope this was Jordan Harris's last game as a Hab. You can't be that inept at the physicality element of the game unless you bring some serious defense and/or offense and/or transition skills, and Harris brings absolutely neither of these at anything else but barely adequate.

That can’t be allowed to stand — what a pathetic display of condescension putting that rag up in a game vs the Habs.

Healthy Gally is at inured paul byron levels now. Positive, armia is making himself worth trading, and we should pull the trigger.

So you dont put it on coaching? It's a team that is obviously weak and needs additional pieces/picks

Yes, send Baron down until he gets better. Matheson, Wifi, Struble on the left. Savard, Guhle, Harris/Kova on the right. Don't care if most are lefties.

Yes, agreed. Slaf was excellent but looked tired in the 3rd and missed some passes he usually makes no problem. Like mentioned up above, 4 games in 6 nights with lots of flights will do that. Still though, he looked very good especially in the first half of the game.
