If we lose to the Kings tomorrow, we have serious problems.

I hate the Kings because of Bergevin. Screw that stupid franchise. I hope they get a good ass whooping tomorrow.

You don't want to play against a team coming off a bad loss.... LA will be not easy. I didn't know there were easy games in the NHL?

I mean technically the screwed themselves

Did I say easy? Team off back to back at the end of a long road trip.

I’m guessing Bergevin was behind the deal that allowed Hughes to move up to the 21st pick this past summer — the type of move he made several times as Habs GM.

Thanks for Hage, Bergy.

Revising my prediction from 7-4 to 9-2 Kings.

Kings got their asses handed to them last 2 games. I smell shutout for them. 1-0.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Kings are so bad lmao

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I was going by their last couple games, pretty good tilts etc. They seem to include their grittier guys as regulars , they aren't spare parts

Kings have completely sucked last 2 games. No goaltending and no D. It's going to be a good test for Montreal. If we can't beat this Kings team, we're finishing bottom 5 again.

These are the games we lose lol

No shit I bet their 1st rounder is going to be worth more than the Flames'

Why aren't the Habs improving defensively? Is it the system? The players?

Isn’t Grillo supposed to help with that? If so, gotta give him time.

Dvorak for their 1st.

What does this mean? The only reason I ask, I moved to L.A in 1996. Always a big fan of Leclair. Picked him in my pools…. Never showed up. One day in Manhattan Beach I see him….. ( a flyer then ) and goes on a tear. Legion of doom……anyways, just wondering what makes you think of Lecair regarding Kings.

Back to back OT Winners in Games 3 & 4 then 2 helpers in the clincher





Then we traded him with Desjardins for Dr. Mark Recchi

Along with the Roy trade set us up for 3 decades of futility and small players

Organically I think we expected some improvement. I know Grillo is now on board but whatever system is being incorporated, it isn't working.

Barron can't play defensively
Xhejak is not a regular top 6-dman
Savard is slow and old
Matheson does figure skating most of the time
Hutson is extremely offensive minded and is new in the league
Guhle is good

I mean we don't need to go far why
This team is far far to be ready defensively

It's about time they rebound, and what better team to do it against than Montreal? Historically, Montreal usually breaks teams' bad streaks, I don't see this changing with this lineup.

They just did it against Ottawa after losing to Boston and the season is 4 games old lol....it is fine to be critical but at least take evidence and sample size into consideration.

Sadly I agree. I'm worried the kings will rebound at our expense.

But


this is where we test if the trends are changing. The kings could be in for a long L streak. The Pens game was a mixed bag. The habs are due too by the same logic.

We are 4 games into the season and have played them in 6 nights with little to no practice time to implement adjustments. There will be improvement so everyone needs to chill and allow "organic" growth to actually occur.

I just figured he hasn’t been here long enough and implementing a new system can take a lot of time.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I just figured he hasn’t been here long enough and implementing a new system can take a lot of time.

And it's still a massively young team that didn't have a cohesive preseason together as a group.

We are gonna have games like Ottawa when everything is firing and games like Boston where nothing is firing.

What matters is what we see at the end of the year. Calgary is undefeated. The beginning of a season means very little.

Dvorak for their 1st.

They won't be buyers.
