Hide yo kids, hide yo wives 'cause the Habs are here, *quietly* roaring back and burning villages...

[ole ole]

Most of us are hoping they do enough to get a middle draft pick, and stay irrelevant for the foreseeable future

Have you watched them play. I'm a Hab fan and They have been totally outplayed most games while looking like shit and somehow fluking a win.
The ball will soon drop.

 

[Michoulicious]

Oh man could you imagine this current Habs roster with kotkaniemi on it? Straight fire

When Christian "business face" Dvorak comes back, the rest of the NHL be terrified fo sho

 

[Mike C]

What a title lol.

Thought Patrick Kane got signed!

 

[Prairie Habs]

Or looked at another way, they are tied for 2nd last in the division, only 1 point ahead of last place. All things are possible.

Tied for 2nd on the division, 5 points up on last. Do you not know which one Montreal is?

Typical Habs

The goalie havd been stealing games (Jake Allen, 45 saves yesterday) so far.

Our top 5 scorers apart from Suzuki and Caufield are a 29 years and a 31 years old forward as well as a 29 years old D-men.

We have ZERO rookies in the lineup and the only promising young players we might have are injury prone.

This looks less and less like a rebuild and more and more like a retool. I've been saying it for a year now, Kent Hughes (and the scouting team) has done an awful job and needs to fired right away. Habs fans are still in honeymoon phase with him so he can't do no wrong.
Our best player and our best prospect are from the Timmins era. The new management has not done shit.
Fans of other teams are laughing at us and rightfully so. I'll give them one more year to see how things progress but if not satisfactory, will be taking a break from this team (just like I did during the Bergevin years). It is a disgrace what is happening.

Zero rookies, but 6 (7 when Yolo plays) second year players in the line-up, including 4 D. We also have the AHLs scoring leader who happens to be a 20 year old rookie.

You complain this looks more like a retool than a rebuild, yet complain our top player is from the old regime when Hughes was only hired early last year. Do you want him to rebuild properly or do you want him to trade a bunch of futures to get a player better than caufield and Suzuki? It's doubley ironic because the player we have that could be better than them but is hurt is Dach, who is a Hughes pickup.

 

[HolyCrap]

It made me laugh. That's alright by me. I'm going to go mentally prepare for the Heritage Classic... Because it could get ugly. O_O

Remember win or lose, stick to the booze. It will help trust me.

Alex Newhook is hockey.

Taking my spot for when the Habs lose 7 in a row and this thread is bumped

 

[Help]

needless thread, but it is nice to see ppl getting mad about this scrapy young team with some Finals experience. they embarrassed, and made enemies of, a lot of teams in 2021. the remaining players from 2021 are arrogant, and it has been imparted onto the youth they added to the roster last season. arber xhekaj changed the atlantic division, summoning Reaves and Lucic from obscurity.

the vibes are good

Started reading the thread title and thought it was about Hockey Canada.

8 games in

74 more

Montreal's second run at the cup. This time they won't come up short.

man its going to feel so good to give it back to all of those cocky habs fans in this thread....

 

[stymie]

He said cocky.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Identical record with a pretender like the Leafs.

The Habs need lots of further improvement ahead of they want to be a real contender.

However, they are a character team. Sometimes, character rides a hardy horse.

 

[Bouboumaster]

As a leaf fan, it warms my heart lol. I still can’t believe they didn’t blow the season last year to try and get bedard / fantilli / Carlson

We tried our hardest but Chicago and San Jose were in another Level of Suckage

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Man I came out to find my car up on blocks- the Montreal canadiens had done a full rotation and had checked my air pressure. Also Gallagher stole my spare change and Kotkaniemi speared my grandmama, so there’s that, but overall impressive team.

Didn't like a lot of the draft selections, but pump the brake.... takes 5 years to decently evaluate a draft anyway, Hughes has been here for 2.

Not a single move point out to a retool vs a rebuild.

I think you should take a break.

 

[Zalos]

I want to see them against more elite teams.

In the past, the Habs teams tended to be better against top teams while they sucked against bottom feeders. I want to know if the trend has flipped around or not!

 

[Michoulicious]

Dominating loss against Vegas yesterday with youngster Monahan scaring the opposing goalie into giving him a free candy.

Now #6 OA in the standings with that SO loss point.

That is very frightening.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I thought the Atlantic was supposed to be good

Youre lame

Its amazing what St Louis is doing with that roster. Hope the message is still strong when the team is ready to compete, would be a shame to waste such a good coachs good years when the team is a bottom feeder from a talent perspective.
