Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to Toronto

[SwiftyHab]

“Reset the Rebuild”

"Suzuki is awful, lazy, out of shape, needs his captaincy stripped, benched, scratched, and get ran out of town" yet people think Slaf had an okay game haha

Why are you taking it the wrong way when suzuki gets light criticisms?

 

[Riggins]

He's no Koivu

I want to see Suzuki when he's surrounding by some actual talent like Demidov and hopefully our high pick this year, but in the meantime he needs to show a damn pulse and not completely disappear for 5+ games at a time.

We're probably doomed until Suzuki and Caufield are relegated to second line duty... if that ever happens. Let's hope.

 

[ReHabs]

He's no Koivu

Narrative building.

Koivu never had to deal with intentional losing. Suzuki can only do so much when the culture around the team is one of losing and no expectations.

Koivu had a much tougher time dealing with an entitled fans and a pitiful roster but the culture of the team was to try to do the best job possible. Suzuki, by comparison, is in a netherworld.

 

[Habano]

You mean to just get a system concept, period. lol

fify, we don't believe in systems.

 

[Rapala]

My God this year has been ass. WTF is going on? What happened?

I've been saying for a while now there is something wrong behind those closed doors.
It's as plain as the nose on my face. There is either a total lack of belief or a rift in the group.
Gallagher with some extremely angry words for the bench just after he scored.

It could be because four players were getting all the gravy minutes without really earning them.
That shit doesn't go over so well when it's so blatant.
Some Guys are definitely not putting the team first but why?

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Quick question...I like Arber. How the f*** was Domi able to do the law on the ice when Arber is there? How the f*** do you tame Arber to that point?

I really truly believe the coaches dont want toughness. Every player become neutered

 

[Hannibal]

I hope Shea Weber would smack MSL.

 

[larek]

Suzuki saying they played a good first and third period and some good games lately just didn't get the result..............send MSL as far a way of those kids please

2 shots in the 1st!!
That's not good

 

[teamfirst]

Business as usual for MSL in his presser, don't worry guy's when we flip we dangerous

 

[The Great Weal]

Why are you taking it the wrong way when suzuki gets light criticisms?

You do the exact same thing with CC/Slaf/Dach. When I read how our best player for 5 seasons in a row who has come up clutch all the time when it matters should get his captaincy stripped and is a 2nd line center at best, of course I'm going to say that's the wrong take.

 

[Habano]

Quick question...I like Arber. How the f*** was Domi able to do the law on the ice when Arber is there? How the f*** do you tame Arber to that point?

You neuter him and threaten him with being scratched or demoted to Laval

I want to see an actual first line center

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Carabins loses, Alouettes loses, Laval loses, Habs loses.........what a day....

No points for Roy.

 

[Kennedys]

Let see how it look next season with Demidov and Laine. Forget 2024-25

 

[Natey]

We have defenseman who can't even stay on their feet - meanwhile Kovacevic still cooking in New Jersey sitting at a tidy +11 after 17 games.

Crazy.

It could be that losing and losing and losing can be quickly forgotten with winning and success but a positive culture cannot be sustained while losing and losing and losing.

It just doesn’t seem like you can lose and get your ass kicked with a smile on your face all throughout multiple years. Even a simple thing: some players are playing for their next contracts, they certainly don’t want to lose!

 

[sukimono]

Don't worry...we'll go on a tear a few weeks before the end of season and pick 7th

NooooOooooOooooooo. PLEASE GOD NO!!!! No!!!!!!!

 

[Hullois]

MSL scared for his job now. Not a single bad thing to say about the team. Trying to "keep his room". Oh well

Even the coach is soft. God help us.

 

[Maliki2]

Zero accountability.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Narrative building.

Koivu never had to deal with intentional losing. Suzuki can only do so much when the culture around the team is one of losing and no expectations.

WTF are you talking about? What age are you? Were you actually watching between 98 and 2002? They had a shitty team, but Koivu was never nonchalant, rarely ever took a night off. Left it all out on the ice in every game I've watched him.

It's not narrative building when you compare two players and one was clearly more competitive.

 

[Hullois]

Even the coach is soft. God help us.

Bring in Shea Weber as assistant coach. Some accountability in the room. Let these guys look at him in the eyes after such a f***ing soft display.

Always liked Kova
Decent dman - good size and decent slary

 

[Tyson]

How did Pezzetta go from a somewhat competent 4th liner to a player totally written off like this?
