Silver lining is mgmt now realize they have a soft team that will never compete in the playoffs
Completely, MSL should really be looking to get our best players into meaningless fights tonight!Not going to lie, not impressed by MSL on that one.
Begging your GM to call the opposing team.
Sitting some of your high profile guys who have barely played this preseason.
Not even having announced the starting lineup like... 4 hours before puck drop.
This is a p***y attitude from A to Z.
Sure. The point was moreso that there isn't some definitive 4th line toughness indicator that translates to playoff success.Those teams were Stanley Cup Finalists. It's safe to say we aren't there yet.
The Oilers 4th line DID have 4th players playing like 4th liners. They also weren't in the NorthEast division.
But they also had a "trend", if anything. It wasn't just a random assortment of players.Sure. The point was moreso that there isn't some definitive 4th line toughness indicator that translates to playoff success.
Heck, our current/projected 4th line is not any less "tough" than what we had when we went to the finals in 2021
So no Tuch?
He's been benched for having too many fans.So no Tuch?
They can't assign someone to the AHL if he's injured though.He left the practice the other day, i
Guess hes injured

Let’s talk more when we have a generational talent and a superstar carrying us up front. 2021 we had 4 big defenders that were physical and could throw down if needed (well except Petry) plus Pricer on his game.Sure.

Trying to change the rules as soon as you're afraid somebody COULD get hurt is all kinds of stupid.
Especially knowing Ottawa is not icing a goon squad tonight.
Tell your guys to man up, and if they can't, tell your GM your team is critically soft.
I'm not even talking about physical softness here. This is pure psychological weakness.
Decent size, very good puck control along the boards, able to play a slow-paced game.? Not sure I see the "trend"
Except I see nothing in our system that is elite sure fire HOFrs? Not sure I see the "trend"
So... You're agreeing that the 4th line makeup is largely irrelevant provided you've got elite talent in place?
Couldn't agree more, and by the work being done, would seem the Habs brass gets that as well
Tell them not to fight. You know, coach them. Dress the players you planned on dressing and play your game, not theirs. I am so disappointed in MSL actions today I have no words.Completely, MSL should really be looking to get our best players into meaningless fights tonight!

Less pissed now, but still pissed
Poor Sens fans who paid to watch their team bottom 6 face off another team bottom 6 in pre-season.
Na we need some action, someone has to drop em and need to see some savage tears causing hitsPerfectly fine with not playing top players.
I'd like Guhle to sit out aswell, but he needs to play unfortunately to get some game time in.
Just want a low event game tonight.
All 12 of them.Poor Sens fans who paid to watch their team bottom 6 face off another team bottom 6 in pre-season.
