GDT: Habs vs Rangers @1pm

[26Mats]

I feel like getting a Josh Anderson jersey after today's game.

And I'm no fan of his overall game.

Does MSL have the worst win % ratio in the history of this club?

Does MSL have the worst win % ratio in the history of this club?

Probably Cunneyworth.

Does MSL have the worst win % ratio in the history of this club?

Yes.

 

[Hacketts]

lots of positives, lots of resilience, and some terrible reffing.

this one stings.

 

[The Real Timo]

I am sure it was discussed to no end earlier but why in the world was Barron playing over Struble? Is Strubs injured?

 

[zx81]

Glad I missed the game
Sounds frustrating

Sure was. First time in a long time I'm really angry after a loss. Stupid penalty by Dach, late period goals and the worst officiating I have seen in quite a long time.

It would have not been frustrating if that overall we didn't play a good but we did and deserved a better result.

 

[OldCraig71]

What? This would have been great for morale. Claw back and get a deserved win against a supposed top team. Instead Dach shot them in the face again.

It was a good team effort, the kind we saw last season. Dach needs to have a big game tomorrow or sit for a few games.

Does MSL have the worst win % ratio in the history of this club?

No, but he's the 1st coach in Habs history asked to captain a full fledged rebuild. His numbers are going to take a hit.

It's completely understandable.

 

[Hacketts]

Does MSL have the worst win % ratio in the history of this club?

lol.. who cares with the context of everything.

 

[26Mats]

Does MSL have the worst win % ratio in the history of this club?

Maybe, but when you trade all your vets with trade value and try to get high draft picks (Slaf, Reinbacher, Demidov), you're not looking for a coach that's going to have a win percentage during the tank years. Whatever else you want in a coach, that's not it.

Hughes even came out last year and said he's talked with MSL about how wins aren't helpful at this point.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Sorry Marty, enough with the philosophy and read between the lines crap

Say it and say it clear about the refs

 

[Gustave]

MSL having a moment

“I loved the game, but I won’t talk about the refs.”

Only thing he said the whole time, repeated it 5 times. And he was justified to say so. We got the shaft.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

I bet MSL gets fined anyway for being passive-agressive and hurting the refs feelings.

 

[The Real Timo]

lots of positives, lots of resilience, and some terrible reffing.

this one stings.

Well... sure. another way to look at it is that you're playing a tired team and you let them have a 3-1 lead until mid third period. So once again... not able to shut the opposition down and having to play catch up hockey. Kudos for tying and all but you gotta start taking controls of the games from start to finish.

 

[Be a Hab]

How the f*** do the refs miss that penalty against Armia that leads to the GWG.

They should be ashamed of how the officiated the game tonight. f***ing terrible.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I hate calling out officials. But this time it was one of the worst officiated games I've seen.

Blatant interference on Anderson not called.
Gets the soft penalty later they score on.
Somehow being down a man after Quick punched Dach.
Armia blatantly tripped on the GWG after you know you've botched the 2nd period calls.

Not to mention blowing the play dead on a Rangers penalty when we had the puck.

 

[expy]

Damn .857 sv%

 

[L4br3cqu3]

He looked like someone who didn't play Defense his entire life. I don't know what he was thinking trying to cover the inside of the ice with his stick, but that was dumb. He needs some counseling, and then he needs to move to forward wing. He's not a dman.

Could be worth a try, honestly.

I remember I thought the same with Souray, back in the days (in his case, he managed to make it work in his own zone). A bit like Burns, Byfuglien and Streit, could be worth a try, I think he's stifling his natural instincts (offense) to get better in his own zone, you can he wants to jump offensively at times but more often than not reins himself, I'm just not sure that will help him in any ways.

Not sure who we'd sit, though Dach could be deserving for a game or 2... as long as it's not Heineman.

 

[morhilane]

I am sure it was discussed to no end earlier but why in the world was Barron playing over Struble? Is Strubs injured?

No injury annoucement and MSL wasn't going to suit Struble when he benched in the 3rd period against the Jackets for being bad

 

[Adriatic]

Barron is our mimbo!

Reffing was terrible no doubt. However, the key difference is that Habs didn't capitalize on their PP chances earlier in the game and Rags did. f*** the refs big time. POS all of them! Mtl deserved better tonight.

Say it and say it clear about the refs

Is there anyone who needs to be told what he was actually saying?

"I'm just here (calling out the refs like this) so I don't get fined.
Any question you ask me, the answe will be the same: I'm just here (calling out the refs like this) so I don't get fined."

Hmm... ok. I didn't notice really. Thought he scored last game too.

 

[Adriatic]

Man the refs were bad today. Truly awful
