Post-Game Talk: Habs lose in Carolina

[Runner77]

Room needs to be made soon. Can Struble play RD?
Most GM's would find a way to have X in their line ups

How about one of our lame, boot licker media types putting the question to management and point blank asking if they’re going the direction of Gorton’s Rangers?

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Is there a RHD version of Matheson that the Habs can trade Matheson for? Petry? lol

 

[Rapala]

Tougher to do on the road but you still can rearrange the lines though.

Exactly they weren't winning enough puck battles end of story.

 

[Saundies]

Slaf’s alright

Hopefully that sticks. Last thing he needs this year, especially at this point where he's been playing so well, is another head injury.

Hard to win battles when you have Dvorak, Gallagher, Monahan losing all of theirs.

 

[Habs10Habs]

LOL Pezzetta does scare anybody. That pinky finger shot of him in his car has made tthe rounds don't kid yourself.

lol now he doesn't. But when he first came up, he had that crazed look in his eyes. He would hit people, he'd get in their faces. Besides his late game stupid penalties, I'd take a Steve Begin right about now.

 

[Tyson]

An ideal time to address team size and toughness during a rebuild. Is it being addressed? Not so sure.

 

[Runner77]

I'm grossed out tonight by the response to Slaf hit.

How far are we from this where players merely gesticulated albeit briefly as the PxP guy quipped? I believe most of all of those who were on the ice and acted like spectators when the dirty hit happened, ended up getting jettisoned.

The damage was done against Suzuki's line. Armia in Caufield out would have made a world of difference IMO.

New training/ med staff voodoo whatchamathingy hacks.

You won't find a winning team that lets that type of stuff happen...bad sign.

I saw that crazed look earlier this season but I took it to be too many Bennies.

 

[dinodebino]

Here it is from another angle. They have a recidivist head hunter, we have what?

Needs a visit from someone.

 

[Rapala]

Needs a visit from someone.

Plus a five and a game.

 

[Runner77]

Tankers want more games like this, where the team gets physically dominated and humiliated

No one wants to see the team physically dominated or humiliated. That’s definitely not the end game of those simply looking for a better draft pick at the end of this.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Given our lack of depth on RHD there is no way we can trade Savard. We have no options as Reinbacher and Mailloux are not close to being ready. Barron is a tire fire.

 

[Schooner Guy]

We gotta stop rolling the three goalies. We either think Primeau is ready/an NHLer or not. If he is, it doesn't really matter what we get for Allen. If he's not, waive him.

Goaltending is the least of this team's problems. They're actually the reason we stay in games and why we're currently in playoff range as unsustainable as it is with this very green D core.

Starting to look like Caufield won't even score 20 this year. Hopefully he can go on a bit of a scoring streak here soon but he'll probably wait until the final 10-15 games after the Habs are out of playoff contention to keep them from the highest much needed pick possible, just because..

Oh yeah.. Runner using the big words again.

I was thinking he was injuredto his shoulder again, but then, I saw him swing his driver on the golf course during the xmas break and I was like: nope, can’t be the shoulder!

 

[HelloBellyvo]

I think there is no message that gets through to this coaching staff or management. They are just another good boys buddy-buddy country club. Rebuild is over folks. It wasn't even fun while it lasted. Welcome back to the dread of mediocrity.

"Yawn"

 

[Runner77]

After 16 NHL games Struble is my most trusted D. That says alot

I’ve rarely been so confident about a player’s performance with so few games played at the NHL level.

The physical beast really honed his skills with his 4 years of cooking at the NCAA level.

Struble defines being developed properly. Hopefully he stays healthy.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Struble reminds me of PK Subban in his rookie year. You just knew he was going to be a star by the way he played.

Thank you, I needed the laugh.

 

[Runner77]

That's why I'd stop the Pezzetta experiment. If he's not gonna be thrown on the ice right after that hit, why do we dress him. It's not like he's got a particular skill that no other player has. Waste of a spot.

I’ve lost hope in that pocket Herc. being more than an occasional gnat. He seems to have forgotten what got him to the big league. He’s likeable but he’s bringing nothing at this point. Hopefully there’s not something else going on behind his lame ass play.
