They kinda played better tonight... But it's still 5 L in a row and as the tradition demands...

It's time to wash the Panzer.

People piling on Matheson are wild. He was on the ice for 2:30+ minutes, that's on the coach.

That pass by Hutson was the most dangerous play he could make, put a tired Matheson in a bad spot.

Matheson isn't great, sure, but he's far from the only problem on this team. And far from the biggest one.
Exactly, guy was right on him. He’s currently a whipping boy.

There’s a kliq of us that just never liked him, so as long as he’s on the team being Mike Matheson we’re gonna pounce :(

Canucks looking for a PMD with size. Hughes should be on the phone ASAP, Matheson got to go. Hutson is flat out better. Just get a minute munching stay at home D to pair him with instead of Savard and let him learn how to handle a top pairing.

Also, is there a team in the league that has worse hand-eye coordination than the Habs? It's crazy how many pucks they miss along board, at the blue line, around their net, pass receptions, etc

I still think we beat the Leafs on Saturday & the BJs twice for 3 wins this month.

Just remember this team in a year will look very different than the one we saw tonight.

But honestly if it wasn't for HFHabs I dunno if I would be watching, at least you guys provide shits & giggles.

Oh who am I kidding I would be watching I have no life.

Really small line-up with the extra man. All of Suzuki, Caufield, Gallagher, Newhook & Hutson were out.

I knew there was too much time left on the clock for Matheson to blow it. I was just waiting. If he handles the puck too much it's just a matter of time that he makes a big error.

We should have had Slafkovsky out on wing with Hutson at the top of the box. How is Hutson in the one timer position? I mean I love Hutson, but even Xhekaj is a better choice for that.

The team at least played hard and didn't give up at 2-0.

Refs sucked hard.

so what do we do with younger players like Dach,Newhook, Xhekaj, Barron, Struble who seem to be getting worst every season?

How do we get them to get out of their funks of being awful every other night?? These guys are supposed to be part of the long term solution to win a cup. Looks like the opposite now.

(yeah i know Newhook was great tonight, my point still stands for the season)

Not a blowout loss.
Another moral victory.
Still our 1st line was our worst for a 2nd game in a row. That is unacceptable.
Yeah, I thought the 2nd line had their moments in the 1st, last game too. Maybe they should try splitting Suzuki and Caufield like they did last year for a couple of games. I remember Caufield-Dvorak-Slaf for a couple of games before Slaf got on the first line, they did alright.

The players that are suppose to lead this team are doing a piss poor job of it.
The GM has put together a shitty team with a joke coaching staff. NS, CC, and Slaf aren’t McDavid or Drai. Even those two could not lead this shit show.
