Post-Game Talk: Habs lose.. LOL

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Allen .891% save percentage this season. We need to find goalie. Breaking the back of team. Hope we start Monty tomorrow

.891? Perfect for the next 2 seasons.

 

[MilesNewton]

What action was he supposed to take?

i guess leap off the bench and punch him in the face according to most

 

[Natey]

Xhekaj should never be out of this lineup.

Statistically, neither should Kovacevic.

I'm a big Monty fan this season after being a big critic last season. He's a lot better with a semi-competent D in front of him

 

[bsl]

I repeat... playoffs are unthinkable with an Allen/Monty tandem.

Matheson/Edmundson is a disaster pairing.

Our first PP unit has decided to not shoot anymore for some reason.

At least Cole scored and I have Tage Thompson in fantasy. Only two consolations about tonight.

i have both Cole and Tage in fantasy. Yeah baby. And December might be brutal for Habs. Top 5 pick still very possible.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

With that game now over I'm gonna check out that new Sylvester Stallone series Tulsa King. While I'm watching I'll ask him to please make one more Rambo movie to see if he can locate Armia who still seems to be MIA and needs rescuing but it may already be too late for that.

Can Sylvester still speak or is it a pantomime?

Yeah we need to find one for the start of the 2023/24 year. Right now we should just put in a cardboard cutout of Price, enough to stop some shots but lock in the tank baby.

I mean, yeah, we can barely beat trash teams like Philadelphia, and are losing to Columbus and Buffalo. If we play like this against Avalanche we're in for a double figure shit kicking.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Speech?

More like the Dom Ducharme school of mumbles

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It must be the first time in Habs history that a team exceeding the expectations falls back to earth just when the coach decides to juggle with the roster because veterans are back from injury

It all went to shit when Edmundson came back. I mean maybe not.

But, Harris-Wideman should NEVER be a defense pairing. Geezus, how they ever thought that would be good.

I'd like too see Matheson-Xhekaj, Guhle-Savard and Edmundson-Kovacevic. Harris #7 unfortunately. Wideman #8. And just run with it. That's a big, mobile D. Give Guhle PP time for f***'s sake too. He's our best all round defenseman.

Matheson-Edmundson were awful together. Neither one is that great on their off-side whereas Xhekaj seems ok with it.

I'm ok with that. If Kovacevic holds the 6 spot, I would send Harris down until there is injury or trade.

I'm curious if Kovacevic can develop to replace Savard, at least the Savard of today, not the one of 5 years ago.

 

[jrom]

Slaf is improving, still needs a lot of reps because his execution is not there yet but some good flashes. High speed passes (that his teammates fumble), a couple of nice board battles won tonight. The stick losing isn't fixed yet...

If MSL decides that a Harris-Wideman pair is a good idea, why can't we try Monahan/Slaf/Anderson for a couple of games

 

[Runner77]

At least Money Hands Monahan scored tonight.

X would be so exposed on the first line.
Guhle has his hands full with too many minutes as it - still learning the systems
Matheson is either a 10 or a 0 he seemed a little asleep and careless passing

Interesting to see how this all plays out, these guys are so young i don't think there would be any issue to send Harris, X or Kovecevic down for a conditioning stint at some point throughout the season keep them humble as well.

 

[Belial]

As soon as Suzuki doesn't have a good/great game it's game over for this roster.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Gosh, did we lose again? Oh no.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Guhle - Savard would be 1st pair, as they were previously.

Matheson - Xhekaj 2nd pairing.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Another record set.

And that was a Dynastic Championship team's record we just broke.

 

[Habs]

Matheson-Edmundson were awful together. Neither one is that great on their off-side whereas Xhekaj seems ok with it. I feel bad for Guhle not having a stud Dman to learn from, or a really solid Vet like Webs. That would have been great for all these kids, instead they get Savard lol

I can't believe the coaching staff came up with that duo, or Math Edmundson. Sometimes they are totally braindead decisions. Webs would have been a great role model if he was healthy, too bad.. kids have to watch Savard instead lol.

Math Eddy should work hypothetically as one is more of a stay-at-home and the other one is inclined to join the rush and pinch often.

The problem is that they both play like headless chickens right now.

I'm ready to give them some time though, mainly Matheson who is new to the team and is coming back from an injury.

[yianik]

Shake it off kids. On to the next game.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

I was expecting more games like this anyways so it isn't surprising. Buckle up boys cause theres going to be a lot more games like this through out the season.

 

[Xirik]

I said it in the game thread but ill say it again here.

The the Habs remind me a lot of the current Oilers. The top line carries all the weight and none of the depth guys provide any help and if they do its not enough. Luckily the Habs have some players and prospects coming up that should be able to share that weight and make it impossible for opposition to gameplan around just shutting down the Suzuki line. Unlike the Oilers and the Mcdavid line.
