Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Devils 4-0

[OldCraig71]

When Heineman comes back after the all-star tournament I would elevate him to the first line with Suzuki and Caufield and play Slaf somewhere else. He needs to work on some things against lower lines and the first line is not the place for that.

This game was worse than a throw-up.

Y'all making it sound like we were a lifeless mess getting caved in by the opposition tonight but that wasn't the case. Yeah it sucks losing 4-0 but really the biggest difference was Allen having a really good game and Monty having a bad one (seems to be the norm lately for him which is concerning). We created enough chances to win this game.

Are you crazy? The Habs had no life. They had like 3 legit scoring chances. No real extended offensive zone possession time. The shot stat is empty.

I'm just going to leave this here.
There are way too many plays dying on the sticks of #20 and #92.

9 losses in a row on home ice against the New Jersey Devils.

 

[Nedved]

Ok, I know some likes to use the same players as punching bag but when are we gonna talk about Suzuki or even Caufield in the last 6-7 games?

Is it forbidden

yeah, they've been shit, okay, doesn't change that when they're playing well Slaf is a passenger. and when they're not playing well he can't create anything on the ice. He's 20 and has the energy and skating of a 30 year old man.

 

[OldCraig71]

How sweet would it have been if Beck scored there? We’ll never know.

He hit Allens stick.

 

[HabSgt]

Like I said in the GDT, the big twins we saw in the home feed during the 1st period were the only positive visuals from this game.

Even those were denied us!

Oof that was bad & boring. Guys are checked out, not all of them but too many.

Allen did not have that good a game. Most of the Habs have no scoring touch.

The 2 of them combine for 0 5v5 goals across the last 19 periods...

Our first line as 0 "clutch" factor. It's starting to feel more and more like we're not winning anything until they're our 2nd line.

If we throw a boatload of money at Rantanen and a massive package around both 1sts+ prospects to land a high end center then maybe Demidov-New C-Rantanen could take over 1st line duties.

I know there's almost no chance of it happening, but every summer one GM goes insane on the trade/FA market to bolster their team. Maybe this summer it'll be us.

I grew up in a Hart Theodore followed by HOF Price's era. I can't f***ing stand having sub-par goaltending. So many L and lost points are due to our ass goaltending.

The biggest impact that everyone forget is this one : Giving your teammates confidence that you'll make the stop so they don't have to play scared to make a simple tiny mistake. OR that you will give a Prime A+ rebound right in front of you 5-10times a game.

It is so obvious that no one trust Monty to make a save right now, they are overprotecting the shots because they feel like everything could go in. With reason.

Shitty team is
Endlessly frustrating and
Losing terribly at home because of
Limited talent

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Imagine being a kid excited to go see your first game and that’s the show…

There was a kid attending his first Habs game earlier in the season and the team.lost like 9-2 or some shit.


The bright spot is the team at least tried at times, but lack of skill once again got them.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Allen did not have that good a game. Most of the Habs have no scoring touch.

Yeah I guess us not making the best of our opportunities is part of the story but Allen was really sound in his positioning, just a very mistake-free game from him. Like I said, the chances to score were there, arguably had more quality chances than the Devils.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

too many low energy, low motor players on the team

Gotta start making moves to change the culture. They seem more keen on waiting this out with guys with no pulse will just infiltrate the team

Also a lame duck coach who really has instilled NOTHING, no identity. Lots of sweet nothings from MSL that some fans and media eat up but amount to nothing of value

 

[le_sean]

yeah, they've been shit, okay, doesn't change that when they're playing well Slaf is a passenger. and when they're not playing well he can't create anything on the ice. He's 20 and has the energy and skating of a 30 year old man.

In the last 11 games, Slaf has 6 points and Cole has 7. Not sure how one is deemed as a passenger over the other. They have both been bad. Cole is back to trying his 0.01% red line top corner shots he’s so lost.

 

[Rapala]

Marty has been trying to get our second line going when we don't have a first line going.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

If the Habs score any tomorrow, I’ll be shocked.

If the Lightning don’t score 10, I’ll be mildly surprised.

The best was watching all the heart and emotion from this group of automatons. We have nobody that drags everyone into the fight, other than the corpse of Brendan Gallagher, who we throw out there occasionally.

I knew they would get beaten easily today, but they should be embarrassed with their lack of compete, their lack of anything and everything. Apologize to the fans and reimburse anyone that came from more than 100 kms away. They shouldn’t have to pay to watch that garbage.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Good thing I missed this one

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Montreal is like the best friend always around to help but never actually gets the girl. Try hard but gets you nowhere. I mean you get shutout by MA Fleury and Jake Allen. Those 2 get killed by everybody else

They dont even try hard

 

[SlafySZN]

yeah, they've been shit, okay, doesn't change that when they're playing well Slaf is a passenger. and when they're not playing well he can't create anything on the ice. He's 20 and has the energy and skating of a 30 year old man.

He has the most goals of that line in the last 12 ish games. He’s been creating chances in the last 3 games that Suzuki or CC can’t burry.

My point was more that the captain and supposed best player on the team shouldn’t be getting by without no one saying anything on his play while the 20 yr old gets the sh*t.

 

[GordonGraham]

The 2 milfs/gilfs behind the devils bench were the highlight of the game

 

[Zorro]

wow habs are pure trash Kthxbye

Need to sell

Yeah having 45 picks instead of 40 is needed. If we sell Hughes needs to package some picks with vets and find us another Dach or Newhook.
