I just think if I am going to watch hockey I want to watch decent hockey.

If the Habs lose both games this weekend crap is going to hit the fan early next week. Since they never win the 2nd of back to back games it is imperative that they beat St. Louis.


And watch Michkov light us up! That will be epic.
I will start worrying about Michkov when he scores his first ES goal.....7 GP 0 goals ans 2 assists on even strength....looks like Michkov just a PP specialist.

You brave soul.. the pitchforks are coming your way.

Michkov is bigger than the Montreal Canadiens on this board.

I haven't been watching much hockey since the start of the season so I think I'll tune in tonight just to see if this Habs team is as much of a train wreck as this board as made them out to be. :)

If our Core 4 showed an ounce of self respect and pride we would be a better team. Gallagher at least cares, the other 3 don't care about this team or their careers for that matter. Sickening to see.

That's a pretty serious accusation.

For example, I have always had certain questions of suzuki as far as what his realistic ceiling is, but one thing I will not question is his commitment to the organization, and the preparation he puts into his profession.

It's stretch to imply that a guy like Nick Suzuki doesn't care.

Well I wasn't aware a post on here could be considered a serious accusation....that's a f***ing stretch. Yes I believe that some vets don't care...

Most of us have already had that moment. We adjusted by lowering our standards and expecting a train wreck game after game.
It's really been that bad huh?

Saw a bit of MSL's media presser from yesterday and he seemed to be in a bit of a prick mode, that I hadn't seen from him before, with his somewhat arrogant and pissy answers. Looks like the honeymoon is now over huh coach.

He will not budge and I believe the Habs will have a horrible season because of it. I am talking possible top 3 pick level bad.

Well, we are posting on a message board, so I know as well as you do the context of what I'm saying. You also know that's not the takeaway.

You are implying Nick Suzuki doesn't care. The only assumption I'm making is that you consider him a "core 4" player.

Anderson-Evans-Gallagher is the worst 2nd line we’ve iced in 4 years

Slaf hasn’t scored at even strength either

Did i say Suzuki? The Core 4 was in reference to another poster who called Gallagher, Anderson, Asia and Dvorak the Core 4 as a joke. I am question the 20 million in wasted cap space on 4 players who clearly don't appear to care with the exception of Gallagher.
For that matter since you bring up the Captain who thinks the 7-2 game wasn't as bad as the score, perhaps he needs to elevate his leadership a bit.

Disappointed at the lines. Dach, Suzuki and Caufield should be shuffled across them. Just roll the lines equally at 5v5 until something works. Big game for this trio as they have been terrible this year.

I've given up watching the Habs play as I found a more thrilling pastime.

Have only seen box scores and highlights and whatever some buds tell me with the occasional listen to tsn radio but it sounds like the Habs record is flattering to their performance. What would the players grades be to date?:dunno:
Grades are irrelevant because the rebuild is going perfect and Marty’s coaching and the roster construction are both unquestioned successes

Our Core 4 is Gallagher, Anderson, Dvorak and Armia.

Ahh, okay. In that case, I agree that there are certain veterans going through the motions. Dvorak would be top of the list for me.

Going back to Suzuki, did he say this during the post media scrum? I don't really equate leadership with what is said in those settings. The goal in media communications is just to give them whatever vanilla answers that dont add fuel to the fire.

Yeah we gotta get rid of John Asia off the second line.
