Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Kings who played back-to-back

[Habby4Life]

Marty is his own worst enemy.

He's set up the power play like it was 5 Marties playing it.

There is no hard-core defensive system.

Another bottom 5 and there will be no more Marty.

I’m not sure about that. Seems like a lot of folks are ok with losing just one more year.

They hired a pee wee coach, ffs, reeked at the time of a PR move, looks no better than one now.

 

[Hostile Offer]

If he isn’t actively scoring goals he is genuinely useless and unfortunately he’s a 20 goal scorer

Ehh Caufield did improve in pretty much everything besides goalscoring last year. I'm content with his development so far even if we aren't getting 50 goal seasons out of him (let's face it that wrister alone wasn't going to fool NHL goalies forever).

 

[Stive Morgan]

who fits that criteria and is available?

That's another problem in itself tbh

I say Boudreau #YOLO

If it worked for the Canucks it can work for us.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Just checking did HuGo mean in the mix for a playoff spot or 1OA?

 

[McGees]

WE'RE IN THE MIX ALRIGHT!

What about Boudreau "worked for the Canucks"?

He didn't even last a full season, and the nucks missed the playoffs in both partial seasons he was HC in

Right now we are tied (pts) for a WC spot...

MSL isn't anywhere near being fired.

The team lacks experience and strong defenders. That's a hell of a lot better position to be in than having strong experienced defenders but no talent/scoring, like we've had for the past 3 decades.

The problems are fixable and the most important thing - talent - is abundant both in the current roster and the prospect pool

The "new head coach" boost, except this team with a real coach who has a Jack Adams and the 2nd highest winning % in NHL history instead of a peewee coach.

There is nothing wrong with losing games but there is something very wrong with losing games while looking like you have no desire to win them. That was just a lot of lazy looking hockey, for a young team they look tired and slow.

Yep,and they were told to come out strong and not give LA any confidence.If not for Monty were done in the first.This coach has this team so confused it's glaring.What happened to the wolf pack mentality ? they targeted our players on a few occasions with no push back,he's got Arber scared to make a mistake again and basically neutered.they're actually regressing and the development is starting to go in the wrong direction but meanwhile Eric bagels and Stew crowbait praise this coach like he can walk on water,thanks but i'll take Carbonneau's honest opinion on the whole game play situation.I said it before I'll say it again you can't build a team and an entire coaching staff at the same time,who the f%&$ck would pay good money to GUESS who's going to show up ,Jeckyll or Hyde ?

 

[RationalExpectations]

Let s look at the team in terms of draft year :
D+6 - D+8 - D+3
D+6 - D+6 - D+ 14
D+15 - D+11 - D +13
D+5 - D+11 - D+4

D+13 - D+5
D+3 - D+16
D+6 - D+5

The excuse of young team developping just does not fly anymore. The vets are not worth their salaries but still NHLers, yyou can definitely see Matheson and Savard on 2nd and 3rd pairing of a contender, Anderson Gallagher Evans Dvorak Armia on any bottom 6. Either this new core is not good enough or the coaching is not good enough, that s it. This management is good in communication but communication is only justification for the shitshow they show night after night. This is one of the worst hockey performance I have seen.

I am patient about the results, and I have been defending some young guys BUT the product on the ice is just unacceptable right now, no fight, no structure, no transition game, no ability to cycle the puck. You can t always be outshot and running after the puck if you are supposed to be an offense first team.

Complete non-sense to put this on Nick, total joke.

He is the Captain and deserves some blame for how unprepared this team is but I think it's mostly on MSL.
Like I have said it's not about wins and loses during a rebuild...it's about seeing glimpses of progress and matching the effort of the opposing team...get in shooting lanes, block shots, forecheck hard, simply outwork the other guy. That's why I no longer watch, they don't bring a good enough effort.

I'm genuinely not excited about Sat night hockey AGAIN ! because if they win we can only guess what the next game will be like.Boring ,predictable ,no consistency hockey is where were at again so early in the season.Robidas is our new Burrows but honestly he's been putrid since day one,time to tell Marty who his assistants should be because this is getting ugly quick this year,sorry Marty the honeymoon is over.

Losing two games in a row at HOME…. And the way they did it. It is very concerning.

Not impressed with the coaches assembled.

When's the draft this year , setting an alarm

Caufield is literally making Suzuki a bad player
