This game would be embarrassing, for most teams.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Im actually gonna watch the rest of this train wreck. See how much more embarrassing it can get.

 

[Nylanderthal]

42 pages already in the GDT I’m expecting 25-30+ pages for the PGT by midnight east

 

[Lemontree]

It's going to be really fun watching Dubas hoist the cup in under a decade with a different team.

In what capacity? Sure as hell won’t be a team he put together. He was given a garage full of F1 car parts and built a go-kart.

 

[Teeder Keon]

So really
How many Years have you been with Leaf Nation y’all

You ?

Oh its embarassing for us.

 

[ToneDog]

No one wants to know more about Josh Anderson, Sportsnet.

Worse when it is 5 zip Habs.

 

[MSZ]

But it is one game. Florida and Tampa both have been blown out by crappy teams. It’s a 82 game schedule you’re not going to be firing on all cylinders every game.

It's not one game. It has been 5 years. If you expect they will somehow change their way of handling tough situations come playoff time you will be disappointed.

 

[TMLeafer]

The team seems all too willing to check out if things don't go their way early on. I know not every leader needs to be "rah rah" but this group apparently needs one of those.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Way to go , you must be a real fan vet like some of us …

Of following our team
Which one ?

I think he's younger.

 

[PromisedLand]

I love you Spezza but you look like a total loser. Spezza should have yelled at Holl for being a little bitch

Agreed about Spezza yelling at Holl for being a soft ass d-men. Big guy getting down because of freakin' suzuki LOL and not even standing up for himself.

BUT disagree that Spezza is a loser. He is NOT!

 

[Carltons Cup]

They gotta stand up for themselves at some point. Every other star does it. Mcdavid does stand up for himself at times, draisaitl does too. Mack does as well. Point and kucherov as well. Crosby damn near chopped a guys finger off.

star players can’t be as soft as our guys

Lol, our boys are softer than butter in a microwave oven

that's f***ing depressing

 

[Stephen]

Has Montreal beaten a team by more than two goals this entire season? Legitimately curious.


f***... this is bad. Pitiful really.

Didn’t they recently get their first 10 goal man?

 

[Nylanderthal]

I wonder if this is a coach/management thing or just the type of players we have

Managment has made numerous efforts to bring in more grit and edge, so it’s not on Dubas & co.

 

[Gallagbi]

I can't remember but he was.

Highlights (lowlights?) Are easily available. Goals are as I described with him not anywhere near the goal crease beside a scorer

 

[DcW]

I can’t for the life of me figure out how Shanny can watch this and be ok with it. It’s got to drive him nuts how soft this team is and how they don’t stick up for each other.

 

[mikeyz]

It's going to be really fun watching Dubas hoist the cup in under a decade with a different team.

The only way that's going to happen is if he inherits that team. Because he's definitely not going to construct it.

 

[keonsbitterness]

I hate that ole chant.

Who doesn't? It means they're winning.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Our core 4 has the best talent in the league. Hands down.

Come playoff time, talent alone won't win you a playoff round.

They better grow some balls and find some willingness to get their nose dirty.

End of story.

I would take making a play that looks like they've played hockey before. Or skating with any kind of purpose. Screw getting your nose dirty. They aren't at the point where that makes a difference.

Zero IQ out there tonight. We can give 100% effort but it will look the same if we can't even string one smart play together. Start with the fundamentals first and work your way up from there.

3rd period comeback coming?

Roster. Let's look at people who can play a hard physical game
Marner - No, Matthews - Yes, Bunting - Yes
Kerfoot - No, Nylander - No, JT - Used to but stopped years ago
Mikhayev - Nope, Kase - No and would likely snap in half, Kampf - No
Simmonds - Once upon a time, but that was 5 years ago, Spezza - No, Engvall - No

Rielly - No, Brodie - No
Holl - No, Muzzin - Yes, but not as much anymore and injury prone
Sandin - Yes, Liljegren / Dermott - No

This is what we have. We are incredibly easy to run over.
