Post-Game Talk: Habs lose in uninspired retro jerseys to the Kings

[Canad13ns]

I can’t bear watching us try to leave our own end. We get the puck and instead of rushing up the ice on the counter-attack, we stay in our end, wait for everyone to regroup, finally start skating out, almost make it past our own blue line but then back pass it to keep it still in our end, finally skate it out only to turn it over in the neutral zone. Why does it take us so damn long to exit our zone?

At this point, I think either MSL has a screw loose, or has been given instruction to play the vets to showcase them for potential scouts.

 

[The Real Timo]

Hahah... Leafs get PP off an opening faceoff in OT. Color me shocked.

 

[JianYang]

Guhle was the only player able to break that wall carrying the puck deep.

Slaf would probably do well against that setup too.

Feel bad for kings fans if that's the brand of hockey they typically roll with.

At this point, I think either MSL has a screw loose, or has been given instruction to play the vets to showcase them for potential scouts.

But it makes no sense because the more scouts see them the more they don't want them. So I would go with the former... the screw.

Cole made it interesting (brought the game to within one) with a bad angle goal.

There looked to be something Ruthian with his gesture following the goal but it wasn't meant to be.

Is it possible he is trying to show Hughes how bad they are so that he knows they have to be moved?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hoffman is one of the dumbest hockey players around, like what the f*** was that no look pass?!

Montreal sucked tonight. Guhle was our best player. Caufield played great. Allen was pretty solid, actually. Suzuki was meh.

I hate the 1-3-1.

 

[Kennedys]

Evans and Dvorak must be the most boring player in the NHL.

Hoping for a Christmas miracle?

MSL is moving closer and closer to Ducharme territory. I am not trying to be controversial, but there have been many many signs lately.

He's already our smartest Dman he can skate, he can pass, he can shoot but most importantly he just makes smart plays. WTF aren't we developing that side of his game. It makes NO SENSE I'd rather lose with him getting those reps.

Cole saw the HF poll

 

[Runner77]

That's what happens when Money Hands Monahan is no longer playing. This team about to get exposed.

He was legit our only alternative after Caufield and Suzuki.

Moneyhands knows what he means to this team ...

What about Dach?

 

[Rapala]

Cole saw the HF poll

He did play really well. Too bad his linemates weren't up to his standards in this one.

 

[domiwroze]

Ban 1-3-1

They started that shit right after their first goal, boring ass hockey style

suddenly a man went on the ignore list of hundreds fans

 

[Canad13ns]

On TVA they’re debating whether our players think too much or too little.. Grasping at straws

 

[SlafySZN]

Just glad MSL realized again that Anderson with suzuki and caufield is bad and put Dach with them after a period and a half lol.

 

[Rapala]

I liked Guhle's determination after that shitty break. He went out on the very next shift and decided he was going to make something happen. I can't be the only person watching who understands what that means.

 

[Hansman]

I flew in to Vancouver to watch the game last tuesday.In overtime I explained to my son Habs will ice Suzuki ,Caufield and Guhle.They did not, Matheson fell ,lost the puck Nucks scored.I sat there thinking why?

I love that kid

 

[MarkJ]

and Florida lost too.

Imagine if MoneyHand wasn't that good. We were all expecting a player diminuish from injuries, not half of what he was in his prime. Hell no, he was equal to his prime. Imagine a bad Monahan, we would be tanking for Bédard.

What about Dach?

He's gotten cold recently. Hope he picks it up but I'm not too worried. Just keep him with Suzuki and Caufield for the moment.

I feel he needs to build on his confidence a bit more before he goes on a solo mission.
