Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Flames

[Yasuo]

Worst goal differencial in the entire league right now. Yeah kent Hughes was right we are in da mix... for the first overall pick

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

My eyesight must be going, have watched the replay a few times but WTF happened to Nuke’s stick in OT?

 

[Skip Bayless]

 

[Walrus26]

Reasons for not winning?

Slaf, Guhle and Newhook spurning glorious chances to put the game away.

Keeping the other side to 2 goals was the other half of the deal - and that was delivered.

Puck luck on Calgary's side, but that happens sometimes. You can't blame Monty on Coronato's goals....maybe hire him as a shooting coach

 

[HuGort]

How did Newhook, Evans, Slaf line play?

I thought that line was lively, visible for positive reasons, and looked like a line - you know what I mean.

They should have a decisive goal to show too, perhaps two, but the wingers fluffed their shooting lines.

At the end of the day, for us to progress, to move forward, the players need to gain experience as a team in games that matter.”

Quote from Hughes

If he doesn’t act now, he’s missed an opportunity to do right by his own plan.

 

[RationalExpectations]

sports eh.

Guys played a solid game. One of our better games this season, and definitely had better consistency throughout our lines. Hopefully they build off this game, because they played decent hockey tonight.

Outshot 36-23. Against another bad team.

How Can any fan Say CGY had puck luck ? They outshot the Habs 36-23....

Yeah -- gotta ask here: what happened to the Winning Culture stuff? Completely forgotten?

The long term vision of the team is what is most important. We know he's trying to add a defenseman and a bottom 6 forward with grit but all reports are that the market is slow and prices are understandably high this early in the season.

Step one is to stop using Dvorak like an elite veteran and hold him accountable for being trash, not sending him on 5 on 3s and starting 3 on 3 overtimes. If we are starting a culture of accountability we can't give the vets these longer leashes they haven't earned.

Hutson to PP1 and Dvorak scratched or on waivers is the minimum action they can take, but that requires a shift in Marty's brain that he hasn't taken yet and Hugo need to question him as to why.

Habs lose.
Harris lost.
I suck at predicting anything.

Did Youppee at least dance?

The longer this goes on -- this not-happening -- the worse I feel for the rebuild's masterplanners.

I was optimistic and full of praise for Hughes this summer, dammit.

Guys, here's a joke for you all to cheer you up.

Ok here goes... MONTREAL CANADIENS!!!

... ... ... HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Haha!

Something about Monty's glove side, and the way he motions at the puck, and misses.
That OT goal he was back to far in the net.......

So many underperforming guys on the team, and behind the bench.
No one thought this would happen this early.............it will be interesting to see what goes down within the next two weeks.
Game 20 is the quarter pole....there will be some kind of reaction from upstairs by then.

Yes!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

My fourth missed game in a row.

Don't worry folks, I'll catch the next one and we'll win.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Not a bad game but the loser point stinks , we are 100% getting a top 5 pick and I love it

 

[sandviper]

Same risk, I can give you that.
Higher reward though.

Exactly. We already got the point. You play to win in OT.

 

[74 others]

The fact that the Bell Center is still packed is pretty wild

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Let's hope they get higher.

 

[Walrus26]

How Can any fan Say CGY had puck luck ? They outshot the Habs 36-23....

Quantity <> quality. The bobble on Caufield when he was through on Wolf, the first Calgary goal, Anderson's tip hitting the bar, etc etc.

I think they're really fighting their way back from the game where they lost Reinbacher and Laine.. then the next game with Ottawa and the head shot on Dach. It really seemed to derail what was a positive pre-season and everyone has been in a funk since.

They may also be gripping their sticks and second guessing themselves with the renewed expectations vs having none.

I'm going to hope that this is one of those trial years where they work themselves out of it as they go deeper into the year but still end up with a high enough draft pick that we have just another bullet in the chamber for the rebuild.

Certainly in that delicate balance of wanting to ensure we don't go the Buffalo route of staying bad for so long it doesn't matter how much talent you have you can't win.. but you also don't want to Detroit yourself and try to leave a rebuild too early and end up missing enough relevant talent to be seen as a future contender.
