Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to LA

[CHwest]

Time to clean house and tank.

You know back when we were top 5 of the league and people were still complaining about the coach and this and that player? Heck I miss them times when we were winning alot more than losing but hey, you denigrators got what you wanted! They got rid of Therien, then the Gm and now we are in a full blown reconstruction now for the past ...what 3 years? or is it 2? Whatever. We still suck!!! We are horrendous against big fast teams.

Been waiting since 1993 and it looks like Il be waiting many more years to come.

Well said

Slaf finding his game is the most exciting thing about this team right now. He is looking dominant out there, especially in puck battles and retrievals. I can’t wait to see him and Dach playing together again.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

I missed the Pezzetta fight...did he embarrass himself?

Boring fight.

Yeah I was just thinking we need Bargain bin and toe nails back.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Send them all down to Laval to work on their defensive game.

If Habs and Laval switch all the players, chances we stop tankin'.

 

[Daniels45]

Are you saying if MB and MT were still here we'd be in better shape to win a cup in the next 5-10 years?

I'll have what you're having.

Not everything is about winning the freaken cup!! I want a winning team through the season and a team that makes the playoffs. Winning the cup is a roll of the dice. All them teams in the playoffs have a chance but you have to make them freaken playoffs to roll the dice!!

We were winning more than losing back then. Ok we didnt win any Stanely Cups but god damn, the games during the season were much more enjoyable to watch!

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

They played a good first period.

Better than the last time they played LA

They played a good first 10 minutes, didn't score vs Talbot and the Kings came back to work the rest of the 50 minutes.

 

[calder candidate]

Honestly before that 3rd goal were in the still in the game even after we had a few chances, we hit a couple of post.

There were a few weak play but over all I don’t think anyone was bad…
Slaf actually created a few chances.
Struble also did well, this might be making Savard or Harris available or easier to trade.

 

[Daniels45]

Why is it that many top teams fall and come back faster than the Habs? The kings were stanely cup champions not too long ago and then they went through a short rough patch but now thier back again at the top.

Im just a frustrated habs fan thats sick and tired of seeing other teams that have a lesser fan base outpace mes glorieux!!!

The most winning team in the NHL ever is now just another canadian under achiever team. No canadian team since 93 has won the stanely cup. That should say everythning you need to know.

Time to clean house and tank.

And then draft badly.

Marty, why don't you bring in a senior advisor like the Hens added Jacques Martin?

I know it's easy to say after a shutout loss but our offense has really run dry lately. Lots of posts and other teams goalies looking godly which is never a good thing.

 

[MasterD]

I can't help but see the replay of the 3rd in my head. The dman waiting in front of Montambault for the 4 other players to get on each side of him, and all 5 skate up with no conviction whatsoever, knowing they've done the same shit all game and it's not working...

StLouis rubbing his forehead...

What a mess. We're so bad. So bad. No real talent. No real coaches. Terrible.

Well they sucked and missed the playoffs like 4 of 5 years after winning cup...which is longer than the tank we are currently in - to get to the point of looking good again so just have some patience.

We can have so many pics we will be like kids in the school yard trading cards. Come on Hugo make it happen.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Glad I missed this one, I would have been no fun

 

[Runner77]

Soft and spineless team

The Gorton way.

Yeah...you know patience is a virtue thats running kinda thin atm but whatever...as a habs fan I will always have them in my heart but damn it...why is it so damn hard for us to have a winning team!!?

 

[Riddick412]

Now that Caufield has started slumping and there's no MSL bump, what is the point of MSL?

We just dont have the players to compete. With the injured, the recruits and the lack of a top end sensational goalie, we wil always be mid pack or worse.

Yes missing players and passengers hurt, but I don't see a system or any structure to MSLs coaching. It's really disappointing.

 

[sandviper]

It’s ok… we’re only 4 points out of a playoff spot. We got this!

This team has needed to rebuild for decades. You might like watching our goaltenders stand on their heads, but I'd rather watch a roster headed by MacKinnon and Rantanen or Hedman and Stamkos. It's frankly pathetic that we haven't had a 40 goal scorer or a 90 points scorer in decades. Did you expect the worst team in the league that was left with nothing but a high cap to be good after 2 years ?

The other bench were chirping him he got his ass kicked by a guy had never fought (and Pezz instigated). Least favorite goon for me ever.

Simply not true. None of it. It was an even fight against a bigger guy that has a bunch of fights. You can see them here:
