Very good chance for it to happen unless they play Vancouver before then. If it meant the end of Julien at least there would be some benefit in it.Imagine an 8 game losing streak haha

I am inclined to agree with this. Yes we have some kids taking on bigger roles this year and some players not off to the best start BUT how do you go from the type of game we were playing to this al of a sudden? Are the players all of a sudden deciding not to execute the game plan or have other teams adjusted to our game plan and we haven't responded to that? I am going with the latter because I have seen it before with CJ.There has been improvement, but its concerning that there's been a lack of scoring all of a sudden and the PP is dropping rapidly. Thats on the coaching staff.

The reason why we dont fare well against Oilers and Toronto is our young center line... Suzuki and KK cant play against Mcdavid, Draisaitl or Matthews Tavares yet and Danault cant play against anyone so far this season... KK looks quite lost and tentative and we need Suzuki to play at a higher pace like he was doing earlier this season...
other teams adjusted and are clogging the neutral zone. We just haven't adjust to that for some reasonI mean why are we not skating? The whole year last year we were losing but we were still skating hard and a bounce or two away from winning most games. 4 games ago we stopped skating. Not really sure why.
Cause our coach can’t make in game decisions. Roll 4 lines and try not to lose is his only strategy.other teams adjusted and are clogging the neutral zone. We just haven't adjust to that for some reason
Hmmm. You thinking of anyone in particular?It would be nice if we had an elite superstar type player making ten million a year who could stop a losing streak.
Imagine if we had that player.........(price)
My plan exactly. Start the game half drunk and get to full drunk by mid first.If you watch tomorrows game have a few beers first. Not recommended viewing if sober.
Then let’s remove all the Toronto games and hurr durr we’re suddenly 3 points betterThis teams success is a mirage.
Remove all Vancouver games and this team is 4-4-1 in 9 GP
22 GF
22 GA
those aren’t playoff team numbers.
I fail to comprehend the sudden turnaround. Other teams have suddenly become a lot faster, or else the Habs got a lot slower overnight. Not just skating but also faster sticks and blocking passing lanes.
Byron was flying last night. He could be put up onto a higher line.
I'd like to see Mete in for Chariot. Mete wasn't great but he was trying to showcase his speed during his brief stint. I have confidence he can be effective.
Danault is clearly injured. I'm guessing it's upper body (not concussion) because his skating isn't terrible but the rest of his game is a disaster.
Even in the best of times I was skeptical of Gallagher/Danault/Tatar and thought that the coach was giving them way too much ice time and eventually it would catch up on their bodies. I feel that this is what has happened to them.
I love how Drouin has been playing with some dazzling passing and stickhandling but he's not shooting enough. There was a 2-on-1 with Suzuki where he had a clear shot but those to make a low percentage pass last night. He's got to aim at the net and good things will happen.
Of course, I was only pointing out that the center line is extremmely important and that our kids are struggling against the best centers of this league... Thats part of the learning process, but this team needs to win now, KK and Suzuki will have to elevate their game so this team reaches the next level...I think overall, there are alot of players struggling at the same time, and that includes Suzuki and KK, but with these two, it's to be expected more often considering their age, and thats one of the drawbacks when you make these really young guys a focal point to your success.
There will be times they look great, but there will also be times like these as they mature into this league.
Very well said. That is exactly what is happening but, we have some size now, why can't we adapt and play more of a cycle game?Teams have stopped giving us rush chances. Why do you think the PP sucks? Because we set up and cant get a rush chance, and theres no set plays off the cycle and set up.
So when you make the Habs try to score off the cycle, you see the PP problems on the ice. Theres no play. Theres no weapon or attack we want to manufacture. Its aimless shooting at the net with no synchronicity.
Then let’s remove all the Toronto games and hurr durr we’re suddenly 3 points better
that’s a spurious argument
That's just cruel.Byron had like his only good game of the year and you already wanna put him in another line? jesus.
Id put Mete or Sergachev with Weber we need a puck moving d-man with him.
Danault is not injured , he just f***ing sucks. Stop with the ''he has to be injured'' he's been playing awful since the bubbles.

Il take a superstar foward, if we lose at least they should for the most part be entertaining games lolIt would be nice if we had an elite superstar type player making ten million a year who could stop a losing streak.
