Pre-Game Talk: Habs vs Blues

[Habssince89]

Every game is a big game, but this one is biiiig.

A week off to work on the defensive mess, get healthy(ish), and use the experience of the early struggles to find a way to improve. MSL has a task ahead, but this is what we should expect with the young Dcore. We're still in that painful growth window and if we want to grow into a contender, the young D is going to have to be thrown in the deep end a bit and come up swimming, or not and we move on to the next one.

I predict Slaf back in the lineup, Xhekaj drawing in and playing well, and a 4-1 Habs victory.

Not expecting anything if Marty continues to handle them with kid gloves. Next reported practice better be skating them into the ground.

I love MSL as a person but a coach he is not. Our PP sucks, our pk is starting to get exposed now, and his overall 5 vs 5 system has us in our own zone for minutes at a time. I don't see us winning anytime soon. Midget coaching at it's best.

But that will result in about half a dozen injuries... They are already so short handed.

This consistent barrage to the medical room needed to stop yesterday.

It's just not good for development and it seems like they are dropping like flies again already.

We are definitely on the wrong end of some very heavy collisions.
I'm not sure what is going on this season but the team does not seem to be sharp or aware of what is happening around them.
Are the players not communicating with each other?
We have two Dmen in the infirmary taking hits they should be able to avoid.
Both hits came from players who are known to dish it out.
