Pre-Game Talk: Montreal Canadiens @ New Jersey Devils, 7th November, 7pm

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Well they managed to play one period on Tuesday

Maybe Marty can build them up to 2 periods

 

[The Real Timo]

Next year, we'll have the best defensive unit, since Bergevin's 2017-18 statement on the best defensive unit with Schlemdog, Davidson, Reilly, Morrow, Mete & Alzner to name a few.

Oooh... The Great David Schlemko!!! Love it! Let's bring him back

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I expect the Devils to spank us tonight. Jack Hugues will have a field day with our défense

My interest level is at an all-time low and it's only November. What happened to all the effort this team showed us last year? I realize that our talent level is low but no talent and low effort performances are too much to tolerate.

They should have hung that banner for most 1 goal games lost while they had a chance...

The product f***ing sucks. And not only that, but with the state of the world right now, getting hyped up or upset about guys skating on a sheet of ice while pushing a rubber puck with their stick seems kind of silly. Panem and circenses.

Well fortunately enough, they are playing the supposed system that contending teams play

We only need 23 new players who can learn it but hey, its a start after 2+ years

Are you saying we’ll be in da mix?

The only way we are in the mix is by hiring a D.J.

 

[Hisch13r]

Totally getting stomped. Devils are better than the Caps, Pens, Flames and Krakens...

Ehhh I really don't think we're better than the Caps so far. We played them twice and sure came out of it with 3 of 4 pts but the Caps looked like the better team.

I expect the Devils to spank us tonight. Jack Hugues will have a field day with our défense

He really hasn't been all that good

We will win either this game or the one against toronto in a underserving fashion. Trap game for NJ

 

[Ieatsht4brkfst]

i feel a historical losing streak incoming 4/18 to go

 

[Habs13]

Why thank you Matthew We're going well thanks - youngest daughter has made me commit to taking her to Montreal next October, for sight seeing and hockey She comes with me most Sundays to our local UK NIHL team, so the logical next step is a Rocket game or two next year and another Saturday Habs game in a bar.....unless 21 is the minimum bar age in Quebec!

Two resold Habs tickets might be a stretch too far for the budget!

Bars here are 18 - and there's the PWHL too!

We will win either this game or the one against toronto in a underserving fashion. Trap game for NJ.

I hope so trap games may be the only ones we will be winning in the near future.
This roster will be hard pressed to beat any team who show up with a work ethic.
We can count on three or four fingers the number of truly well played games we had against a bright eyed opposition last season.
Too many times I read comments about how well we played after a win when in reality we just took what was given to us.
It's going to be very sad season if we are already looking at nothing to play for by game 25.
