Post-Game Talk: Habs remain winless in November

[Runner77]

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

Remembering her earlier appearances on AC when she distinctly pronounced “Galaguerre”.

This mess is 100% Hugo.

They have a very young team and they hire inexperienced coaches who can’t implement any D structure at all.

Plus, they knew or should have known in the offseason that their rumored targets (vet RD and gritty forward) could have been had then rather than chase them now that the market is not conducive to trading. Unless, Hughes had opportunities and just decided it was too rich of a price to pay.

The first 2-3 years of a rebuild is usually OK because fans are optimistic and think every pick will hit. It's the following 2-3 years that are the worst because that is when you start having expectations and teams take you a bit more seriously only to find out why you are a REBUILDING team.
It doesn't help when the team overachieves when there is a clear cut #1 in the draft and plays their true potential when there is not.

Let's not forget this is still 75% Bergevin's team. Suzuki, Caufield, Gallagher, Armia, Dvorak, Anderson, Evans, Savard, Pezzetta.

Also glad the Hughes honeymoon is over. I have been critical of him for a year now. It's time other people wake up too.

I haven't been able to watch all the games this year, but when I see every night we only scored like 2 goals and only the vets recorded any points, that's a major issue. I'm fine with losing as long as our young guys are doing well and improving, but they really aren't outside of the first line (and Guhle) ((Hutson is a rookie so he cannot improve nor regress))

Since you haven’t been watching, I’ve had to take over your gig of ordering takeout during games.

I’ve found the most amazing Turkish doner place — the best sandwich I’ve ever tasted, bread made fresh on the spot. You better come back to game threads soon otherwise, I’m just going to overdose on these sandwiches.

There is good news and bad news,that is the bad news. The good news is Montreal is leading in attendance and Molson is loving it.

Put the game on while taking care of the catch of the day and what a surprise, Montreal gave them a game. A very good effort for a change and it showed what they are capable of, just need to bring that every game and learn to play better defense. A lot of the players looked good, some very good, what were they waiting for.

I thought it was good effort and an exciting game to watch. We’re still just a bit short of talent to overcome bad calls and couple of poor performances. But they played a heavy game also against a good team.

He gets a lot of flack here but I thought Anderson played a strong game and took very few shifts off. If he keeps up that effort, Anderson will secure a good return at the TDL.

I thought Struble has best game of the season. He showed good mobility and was very physical. Struble is the type of player that other players hate to play against and who will soon become a core player for us going forward.

Something that i have noticed is that whenever Slaf or other player has a quieter game MSL drops them down the line-up or cuts them from 4v4 or PP or overtime. But he never does that to Suzuki or Caufield or Matheson.

Another Hab loss brought to you by Marty and Meth head

Metheson.

I might just have it figured out.

Here's Matheson, before he starts a game:

Give him 27+ mins TOI and/or use him in all situations and you end up with his meth head version:
