Post-Game Talk: Jake "All-in" for an NFL-type score!

[HomaridII]

Hard to say. He did lots of goods so far. He had to clean up Bergevin's mistakes, and ther is still lots to clean up. Injuries are the biggest factor to why this team stalled this season. And I am still not convinced that MSL was the type of (rookie) headcoach to hire to do the job.

Habs actually dominated the BLues on 5 vs 5 chances (Stats on twitter).

THe issue is:

1) Undiscipline
2) Special teams - Now more the PK

No.2 is easy to fix, Fire BUrrows has we have said here for 2 years straight, and bring in a solid special teams coach. N0.1 is also down to age. Very young roster on the backend.

Its really not THAT bad

I am starting to wonder if Hughes is the right man. It's been 3 years now.

3 years spent undoing MB's work, and drafting. What did you expect?

Harris is day to day.

Matheson
Savard
Struble
Kovacevic
Xhekaj
Harris

They won't call anybody up long term. Even if Guhle is out long term, they don't need to at the moment.

And once Gallagher comes back Thursday, they will send Roy back down.

Maybe not. Habs had only 12 healthy forwards today. Gally in, and Ylonen out again as #13 forward ????

So far I give him a solid A, great work undoing a total disaster with little wiggle room.

We have a legit top line for the first time in a long time.

But now comes the hard part. The habs need more than anything a star forward. Lets see if he can find a way to get that done, either through trade or through drafting.

Newhook - Dach - Reinhart for example as a second line, really would change the look of the team.

Lets see if he can get that done. 1-2 top end players.

This was the worst Super Bowl weekend afternoons games in recent memory.

 

[De Montreal]

Guhle is done for the season isnt he

then we can draft Celebrini

and then Celebrini will get hurt as well

this is the Canadiens

Had to take a family member to the hospital. So I missed this game. From reading this PGT, I'm guessing it's not a good idea to go and watch this game?

Goaltending isn’t helping either.

No point trading him now. His value must be waaaaay down.

I have never been a fan, huge guy who can fly but perimeter player. Doesn't go to the front of the net, doesn't attack the middle, doesn't like the boards. Can't hit a barn with his shot and when he goes is straight at the goalie. His reputation has always been much greater than his actual play.

Goaltending isn’t helping either.

Monty is a legitimate #1 at this point. Imagine he had a proper team in front of him.

The issue is the reluctance to get rid of Allen. SHould have taken whatever offer you had early in the season.

 

[Runner77]

The cow that watched way too many Power Donkey breakouts.

It was Scandella right. I didn't see him doing any of that for us when he was here.

 

[Tuggy]

I don't know what the hell they do with Allen at this point.

Luckily the team doesn't really need the cap space this season.

Hughes is the king of asset management, so he doesn't want to waive him and risk losing him but tbh ... they have completely killed Primeau. There have been periods of games where he has looked tremendous, but the consistency isn't there and tbh how can you fault him.

Even waiving Allen 2 months ago would have been better than this.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Tempted to boycott any All-in games

Unwatchable. He doesnt even give the team a chance to be competitive

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I ended up watching some of this.

I waited a bit and I can still safely say... LOL at being concerned about losing Primeau and Ylonen on waivers.

Should have traded Allen if anyone was willing to take his contract on without retention.

If that shot on the 3rd goal that was disallowed wasn't tipped, that's a bs call. If it was tipped and that isn't considered a "new shot" that's bs.

If it was tipped and it's considered a new shot, then fair call.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Donkey is the ol farm animal that needs to be put down

 

[Habano]

We might see Xhekaj-Mailloux on a Habs pairing, that should be entertaining.

Slaf continue to be a beast

Nah, MSL will find a way to get Wideman healthy for next game

Sounds like you already had a rough day so I’d say don’t. Otherwise I would totally recommend. Hope fam is ok.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Today the Habs were the Montreal Salmon... cause they got smoked!

 

[Skip Bayless]

Then why have Xhekaj in the pressbox knowing STL loves that stuff?

 

[The Real Timo]

MSL sound bite : “ce n’etait pas notre journee “. Sigh. He’s gotta go.

If you are a fan of goals then by all means give er a go b'y.
