Post-Game Talk: Habs remain winless in November

[Kennerback]

All MSL needs to do is to get the team barely to crawl through this season not looking like clowns. That’s all!! If he does, he’ll get Demidov which will guarantee him another three years of coaching. Rottenberg litterally is getting Moo Deng the baby hippo to decide how to play Demidov and it still works. Wake-up MSL!

 

[SlafySZN]

They were able to produce last year...why are they all choking?

Suzuki was shooting around 25-30% for the last 2 months of the season

 

[Hins77]

I have the feeling that even if Montreal would start the game 1-0 as handicap(they start the game with a free goal). They would still lose. They aren’t able to get the advantage.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Suzuki, Caufield, and Slaf must be pouting and mad at MSL for being broken up or something.

No line is working now since going to the blender


Newhook scores two tonight and nothing was because of chemistry really

Think Habs had too much wedding cake all summer.

 

[Habby4Life]

Goaltending is reverting to the mean, and Monahan was much more important to the team than most gave him credit for. Amongst other things.

Their D zone coverage is way worse than last year, by far. Price would get roasted behind this lineup.

I kept saying we had a worse team on paper this season than last, and people laughed.

They aren't laughing now at this team.

Just saw the highlights

The game was lost here, Hutson was wide open Hughes scored on the counter.

Yeah, Heineman had blinders on that play. But, he did have an open shot. He missed the net, which saw the puck wrap around the boards leading to the break the other way.

 

[CHwest]

Well at least they started the year tanking as opposed to starting three months in like the last few years.

Finally taking it seriously.

 

[Toene]

Can someone tell Daniele Sauvageau that's it "hypnotisé", not "hynoptisé"? She said it at least thrice tonight lol.

 

[MasterD]

True.

Part of it is adding Hutson and overplaying him straight out of college. The offense he brings is great, but defensively he's a sketch artist at best. A younger Matheson, who has the potential to straighten himself.

[The Gr8 Dane]

The top line doesn't even have a single ppg player on it and you expect them to produce every single night? And this is in a high scoring league btw where every team poops ppg players like its nothing. Expectations are what you make them. Suzuki and Caufield are great players but they aren't franchise altering talent like guys you tank for. Trust the rebuild

 

[Riggins]

Man, everyone just attacking Gally’s head follicles with impunity

I have his hairline unfortunately so I'm qualified to blast him.

But he's playing well which you can't say for most of our forwards

 

[MasterD]

I kept saying we had a worse team on paper this season than last, and people laughed.

They aren't laughing now at this team.

We didn't know Dach was going to come back this bad. Also didn't know Laine wouldn't play before december. Also didn't know Xhekaj would suck worse than last year defensively.

 

[The Great Weal]

only from a handful, most argue that he’s legit stud who just plays a little too many minutes. My issue with him is constant bumbles and mistakes which outweigh his sexy silky smooth skating imo.

Only from a handful? It’s like 3 pages of back to back posts crapping on him after every mistake he makes. I don’t know why MSL is so stubborn by not swapping him with Hutson as the QB.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Is newhook finally gonna get a little slack?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Is newhook finally gonna get a little slack?

gonna take more than 1 game

 

[OnTheRun]

At this point I would try Newhook with Suzuki and CC.
I also would also recall Roy.

Right now you need to insulate Dach unless you scratch him. He was getting badly smoked out there without Suzuki and CC.

 

[Justin11]

Just leave Matheson in Jersey. They can have him.

 

[Toene]

Slaf needs to wake up and carry his line sometimes. He had a good end of season last year, cool, but he's a first overall in his 3rd season now. He's gotta show more.

 

[GordonGraham]

Holiday

Not in Quebec

 

[Habit11]

Seeing the same type of goals against all year on repeat, and they lead the league in high danger shots against, if they would just protect the home plate area 50% - 75% better they’d probably be in the “…”

 

[Tyson]

Goaltending is reverting to the mean, and Monahan was much more important to the team than most gave him credit for. Amongst other things.

Monahan's leadership was huge

 

[expy]

We didn't know Dach was going to come back this bad. Also didn't know Laine wouldn't play before december. Also didn't know Xhekaj would suck worse than last year defensively.

Even with Dach 'the way he was before injury' we were still worse on paper.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I’d trade Matheson just to develop Guhle on his natural side. Let alone the rest.

Yeah, it should be Hutson, Guhle, Xhekaj. Go with Barron, Savard & Struble, or pick up another RD in the trade with Matheson.

Guhle struggled a couple times trying to make a backhand turn around the corner boards. He would be much better on his natural side.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

gonna take more than 1 game

Why? Has our whole first line shown up for many more?
