Fast forward to June pls

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

MSL is all ego, smartest in the room guy

i don't get the ego thing from him personally, i think he's just over his head

 

[sampollock]

So glad I did pay for centre ice

They should petition the league to allow primeau to change his number to 0. That's the chance of him ever being an NHL starter

 

[Gillings]

Welp.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Nobody is saying Montie is Carey Price.

Carey Price is probably a first ballot HOFer and his numbers were crap once we junked the team. If he can't do it, why would you expect a guy like Montie to be able to?

Every year he's started here we've been a brutal club.

I'm not sure what's wrong with some of you guys that you can't understand that playing on bad teams affects your numbers as a goalie. Even Price - who you yourself brought up - had it happen to him. Of course his numbers are going to suffer.

Price has also carried terrible teams.

But it’s not about Price, what I’m getting at is that Montembault is absolutely barely a starting NHL goaltender and he’s simply not good enough to be a #1 on a team that aspires to be better than what we are.

Primeau is so bad he couldn’t #1 in Laval.

 

[FerrisRox]

I agree. But he was good last year so i can't really blame KH for trying him. Don't think Primo finish the year with us though if he keeps playing like that. KH will give up and go get a cheap vet number 2 to finish the year.

He shouldn't finish this week with us, and the week ends tonight.

There's no reason at all to have Primeau play another game for Montreal. You need to send a message to everyone in that locker room that there are standards, and his play is not at the NHL level and he does not give the team an opportunity to win.

There has to be accountability, and he's quite simply not good enough.

It's over for him.

 

[sansabri]

this is a tie game if you ignore Matheson's mistakes

 

[sampollock]

YAY! I mean BOOOOOOOO!

Caufield with another 2 goals
Arber showing top-4 potential
Heineman making me eat crow and playing well!
Everyone else was Gross!
Send Roy down!

Send Roy down
Waive prim

 

[ChikN]

I salute the effort. Cayden “Strainer” Primeau

 

[JianYang]

Primeau was so much better last year. He's really been poor this season.

Fowler coming soon.

Primeau has had his ups and downs in the nhl. That's not unique in the nhl but his lows are too low, and his window to establish himself is basically closed.

I was hoping he could build on last year, but i wasn't declaring him as a locked in nhl level goalie yet either. Unfortunately, he hasn't built on it and his time is essentially up at least in Montreal.

Surprised it wasn't USA...USA...USA.

 

[Kennerback]

They chanting the olé now

I’d be mad, but this team deserves everything that comes to it.

 

[Hostile Offer]

don’t think I’ve disliked a Habs team more than this one. Soft, mentally weak, not exciting

Are we already forgetting the miserable 2021-22 team under Ducharme though?

Expected a big game by Kirby today…guess he doesn’t have one of those in him.

Mumbles

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Boy it's a good thing we didn't claim that Fabbro guy. Who needs a legit steady top 4 RHD? Not the Habs, that's for sure

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

i don't get the ego thing from him personally, i think he's just over his head

Refusing an experienced assistant when he came on screams ego

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

this is a tie game if you ignore Matheson's mistakes

So the MSL way

 

[sampollock]

He can talk the talk
That's it

 

[LaP]

In the mix means they want to play more meaningful games later into the regular season. I think they were being genuine with those comments. But again, it doesn't mean that the expectation was that they expected to fight for a playoff spot. Those are 2 different things.

In a way, I do feel like they are at risk of becoming Detroit in the sense that Larkin's window has been wasted as they still toil in mediocrity. Suzuki will be 26 before next season and I think the expectation would be that they move forward before Suzuki gets in Larkin territory.

Yes they were. But they wanted it to come from the kids. But as New Jersey last year and Avs 2016-17 are good examples young teams are unpredictable.

 

[sampollock]

MSL won't be back next year
Don't care about extension

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

You expected Kirby and you got Daffy.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Price has also carried terrible teams.

Right. Because HOFers can do that. Normal goalies can't.

But it’s not about Price, what I’m getting at is that Montembault is absolutely barely a starting NHL goaltender and he’s simply not good enough to be a #1 on a team that aspires to be better than what we are.

Montie has shown enough to talent to win some games he shouldn't. We were putrid for much of the start of this year and there wasn't much he could do about it. He was really good last year and won us a bunch of games we had no business being in.

Is he a star goalie? No. A starter? Absolutely. Put him on a good team and he'll have at least average numbers.

Primeau is so bad he couldn’t #1 in Laval.

Primeau has been a huge disappointment. No biggie though, I don't think anyone expected that much. He's a backup and we have Fowler on the way.
