Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Devils

[Hins77]

U could tell me Slaf is a 3rd round pick and I could believe you….

 

[le_sean]

Suzuki getting more shit than Anderson is hilarious

Because at this point we expect it from Anderson. Everyone who thought he was turning the corner because of a good preseason LOL

 

[Fatbiggie]

This man-to-man D is clearly not working, it’s embarassing to watch

 

[CHwest]

OMG this place is too funny.
Gotta suck n get high picks.
They suck nd pick wrong players with the high picks..
Play a better team, they suck cause the other team was better n won.
Win a game n it sucks cause we can't finish last and screw up the pick.

I guess it really sucks to be a Hab's fan right now.

 

[No More Subban]

no reason to single out players.

the whole team played bad.

dach's injury ****ed us big time.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Solid game by Harris and vet line. I liked Pezz and Slaf this game. Glad Barron was given a chance with Savy injured and hope he runs away with it.

This is the kind of showing in back to back games from Caufield and Suzuki that raises concern and gives validity to notion that team needs another top tier forward in the line up. Very underwhelming performance by both.

 

[Simarino]

Positive: Barron is a new man.

Negative: The lack of offensive talent is sooo obvious. Suzuki being a complete non factor again. The PP is a joke.

 

[the valiant effort]

They didn’t mail it in. But goddamn just no structure in any zone

 

[Kennerback]

At least he has chances and makes things happen which is more than you can say about 90% of the other players.

Heck he was even getting double shifted in the second half of the 3rd. Clearly coaching sees the same thing.

Unlike Suzuki right now he can retrieve the puck, but the furthest thing from his mind is the net. He just has not interest. I Don’t know why. Is this him or the coach wanting him to do something else. IDK

Not for me. Is what it is, but I'm not going to continuously flip a coin and complain about both sides of it. Or in HabsHF site all 4 sides of it lol.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Rafael Harvey-Pinard is NOT a top 6 fwd. Enough with that experiment

Some people were calling him an important part of the core last year, personally I always saw him as another dime a dozen bottom 6 player with a ridiculous shooting %..

Serviceable, good to have on the team but nothing special.

 

[Svart]

I'm here to read your solutions

 

[FLHabs]

I hope some desperate team bites on Anderson at the TDL. Hughes could get a pretty big haul this year with guys like Andy, Pearson, Monohan, Armia, and Allen

 

[Tyson]

Ylonen is the smartest player that can play on the 1st line.

I would also add Armia to the line up on Thursday.

 

[Big Lurk]

Top suckage. Worst game of the year.
We cant play when the puck carrier is pressured. Maybe its time to separate Suzuki and Caufield.

Would you do

Caufield Monahan Anderson
Ylonen Suzuki RHP
Slafkovsky Newhook Gallagher
Pearson Evans Armia

The truth is
Any line combo i come up with is just awful

Having Dach healthy changes EVERYTHING.

 

[Skip Bayless]

That line doesn’t work. They should try Monahan there or split it all together.

Monahan would help, but all of our Ds and most of our fwds are weak at one on one battles in the D zone.

The best I saw tonight was Barron.

Probably like his play in the defensive and neutral zones. They say “keep your head up, look for options” but he’s only doing that. It’s a process.

He did almost score on the PP in the 3rd. There has to be frustration building too.

 

[Big Lurk]

I understand. But are you ready to suck for 10 years? Who are going to replace these guys? Worst players?
I dont really want Gabriel Bourque up with the big club by default.

We are re-arranging deck chairs. Sorry but it’s true. Without Dach, we’re a much worse club.

We are going to be really bad this year. Sad but true.

 

[SlafySZN]

So who is the whipping boy now that Barron has played 2 good games?

Seems like alot of attacks on Slafkovsky. Maybe we should expect more from the so called vets and allow the kids some breathing room

Slaf gets attacked if he shoots but then gets attacked if he doesn’t lol. Just has to shoot more often who cares if he miss he won’t adjust if he is not shooting.

 

[ArtPeur]

I’ve got no idea what a lot of you see in Donkey Anderson. He’s awful!

I've been shitting on him since year 1. Like Drouin, he got that long ass contract for 1 season/playoffs

 

[Tyson]

Slaf gets attacked if he shoots but then gets attacked if he doesn’t lol. Just has to shoot more often who cares if he miss he won’t adjust if he is not shooting.

He and several others did miss the net while in prime scoring positions. Frustrating

There will be worse teams, like Washington

Nobody (who should be interested) has the cap space for Anderson, unless another ugly contract comes the other way.

While I don't know every team composition, Washington Mantha+ for Anderson is something that could work before the off-season. Once the cap raise, he's going to be easier to move, but by then his trade value will probably be close to zero if he continues playing like that.

 

[Tyson]

Barron with almost 21 minutes of ice time. Looks like a solid young NHL Dman.
