Woof.... Worst game of the season... By far.

Savard and Gallagher especially terrible tonight.


Woooosh.

@OldCraig71 had it right, for games like this one.

Sometimes you can have good wins or bad losses, or good losses and bad wins.

This was a bad loss. But not an unexpected one. This is how I thought we'd look all season.

Surprised they didn’t give Gallagher one of the 3 stars again. He deserved it tonight after helping New Jersey score.

 

[Phil Parent]

This was bad.

It's definitely a game reminiscent of the Bergevin era.

 

[JianYang]

Been a while since there was a dud. There will be more over the course of 82 games.

On to the next one.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

good reminder that there remains work to be done.

no shame in losing against a hard-working, well-coached team

 

[DavePeak]

First period was fine, Habs got decent chances but could not finish. And then, from the 2nd... oof

 

[MasterD]

We’te still in the early stages of a rebuild. Many people here got their hopes way too high.

Let’s take a collective deep breath and move on…

 

[Ezpz]

I think we don't need to worry about our pick too much.

Allen and Monty were riding unsustainably high goals saved above expected. Our bottom 9 suck except Monahan and Anderson one fifth of the time.

 

[Adriatic]

Finally I loss. Getting really scared we're gonna make the damn playoffs. This loss is welcome lol

 

[sandviper]

Nice to see the reverse retro curse lives on…

 

[OnTheRun]

Cool 10-wins streak... I guess.

Tomas Tatar is a class act, can’t hate on him.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Game was decided the moment we decided to wear those jerseys

 

[The Great Weal]

Slaf on the 4th line needs to stop. So ridiculous. Guy is one of our best forwards already playing with Evans and Pezzetta.

 

[holy]

I’m happy for New Jersey. Gives me hope our team will be high flying and exciting enough to slap their asses back soon enough.

Gg, can’t learn what to fix when there are no mistakes.

 

[vHAB]

Just a reminder that this team's goal was to tank this year, and the Devils are no joke either. We will get more games like this. No big deal

 

[Runner77]

Congrats, Daddy-O!

 

[JianYang]

The only bummer is that they lost to Lindy ruff. He left some bad blood in me from back in his Buffalo days.

 

[Phil Parent]

Habs weren't at their best tonight, but gotta give credit where credit is due, we were soundly beaten by a team who stuck to our top line like misery on the poor.

This isn't only us screwing the pooch here.

Wtf was he watching ?

Totally outplayed in the last 40 minutes.
I know NJ is hot right now but there is no excuse to that amount of giveaways and turnovers.

 

[Tyson]

A great wake up call

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Mtl was sloppy from the start. The first looked close cause NJ was just as sloppy. As soon as they tightened things up, MTL had no answer
