This just might be the softest Habs team I've ever watched. Xhekaj in his first season was hitting everything and now he looks nothing like that player anymore.

Suzuki the past 2 or 3 games looks uninterested and like he doesn't give a flying f*** out there at all. Add to that Caufield, Slaf and Dach look awful too and if these guys aren't doing much offensively this team will not win games. Where the hell did the Slaf from the 2nd half of last season go?

Woll stopped 20 shots or so tonight but it looked like about half of these shots were crap wrist shots from the point and easy saves.

Ugly!
I am trying find some positives though.
Hutson, Struble, Xhekaj were ok on D imho.
Newhook, Gally and Slaf in third were ok too.
People who say they didnt notice Slaf, well its because we played so many PK and 4 on 4, he had no ice time.
Once he played with Suzi in the 3rd, they got some great chances. No puck luck though.

"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

They both sucked, neither need to get shot into the sun. They just need to put on their big boy pants and start working their asses off on the ice.

A coaching change or a coach’s tactical change might work. It can’t be that the whole roster got worse. It’s much likelier the compounding effect of a demoralized roster that has lost faith in itself and its coaches.

Winning cures most issues. Losing exacerbates many issues and creates new ones.

Team looks awful. Forget talent, the work ethic is close to non-existent. Matheson is beyond bad. Montembeault decided to become Montembeault of 2022. Suzuki is sleep walking. Ditto Slafkovsky.

Only the Evans line & Newhook showed up.

It's embarrassing. Too similar to Ducharme days.
We are looking at a rudderless ship...

What changed from last year? So many injuries to deal with last year but they were in every game and never gave up. This year they're softer than baby shit. They just completely implode every game.

Embarrassing effort night in and night out. They're so fragile, MSL bag-skated them once and the team completely quit since.
