This team is far far away from competing for a Cup. Not a single superstar outside of the crease since the dynasty ended.

Inability to draft and develop a single player capable of producing a 70 point season.

Inability to attract any UFAs of relevance.

Sorry folks, but this version of the rebuild is far from over.

And they are solidly build. Listen to the song "They built that city on rock and roll"*, Jefferson Starship, that summarize this team's spirit.

* Last top 10 success including the voice of Grace Slicks.
Not for anything but that song … :help:

It topped a 2011 Rolling Stone poll of worst songs of the 1980s by a wide margin, and the magazines Blender and GQ both called it the worst song of all time.

If you can extrapolate what the song is truly about, you have divine introspection. For a lot of people, however …

The lyrics are mostly incomprehensible gibberish. The singing barely qualifies as such. The music is an overproduced mess of synth noise.

I usually agree with your takes on several other songs but can’t get there on this one.

Give me Jane from Jefferson any day and in particular, the cover by Dino Jelusick. ;)

I know this song sucks, I hate it. I could easylly place that song worst listenable hit of the 80's. I just mentioned that song for the agressive moving forward and basic energy. Bad song yes but the message is winning, whatever the ugly production and simple chords structure.

Well, if the message of that song is winning, not everyone has figured it out.

The injury to Dach was a huge blow to this fragile team. And many, many other players are underperforming big time.

Vets have to step up. Not surprised. You could add Pearson and Monahan who haven't scored in several games as well.
Agreed - Pearson has looked particularly shit in my opinion and Monahan is either reverting back to the mean or he’s injured.

Gallagher has been all we can expect from him at this point.

You can bring a Donkey to water but …

Anderson has spent 76 minutes on the PP so far this season (ranking him among the top 30 in the league for PP time) and this almost exclusively on the first wave of the PP to boot, and has nothing to show for it.

They play the trap and score off of turnovers.

It's so boring to watch


Apparently the Kings were also on a back to back.
Yea but we agree way easier to be back to back when you have dearth and are bigger and not without half your blue line and your best player right ? Oh and not a west coast trip to boot

I don't think the NHL should have teams play back to backs. .

But your points have peaked my interest to see us play the kings again. We'll see if we can do better next time when we're rested...

I posted a message how worst listenable song by the same group in the music thread.
Talking of music, some very famous songs I can't stand anymore cuz of overplayed especially at chom like Queen hits, Pink Floyd hits, I will survive (this one in the pop radios), Led Zep hits, ACDC, Metallica, Simon&Garfunkel, even the Who and Tom Petty. Too much exposure did that.

Fatigue slows teams and a fast team that is slowed stands no chance vs a big one.
On another note I am still adamant that dach is the most important piece on this team , for the fact he can slow down the play and wait for defenses to break down.
I have yet to see any other member of the habs have that ability to do it let alone do it consistently
