I'm close to accepting that things are going to be really, really tough for this franchise for the next decade at this pace. They're going to have to rebuild at this rate. So much time wasted with this regime.

Its been real rough since 1993! Enough is enough!

these guys are pro athletes where is the pride?

 

[Asamu]

Galchenyuk has been a hot pile of dung....I know I know he needs 20-30 games to get back into game shape

Emelin said after his injury that he needed 8-10 games before coming back to 100%. Give him 5 more games ^^.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

If we score a goal here, does that mean we can go for a two point conversion afterwards?

Guess this turned out to be a moot question.

 

[The Nightman]

Pleky fanning on that pass then throwing it directly to the Avs d-man's stick on the 2nd attempt, just about sums up this game perfectly lol.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

neither did subban, we had one of the worst losing streak in history with Pk

There are other players more deserving of blame than Subban for the collapse. Subban at least made games competitive with points and quality defensive play.

 

[Boud]

neither did subban, we had one of the worst losing streak in history with Pk

Difference is during that span Subban had the most points out of any other Habs players.

A rebuild has never been allowed in Montreal. Retooling on the fly nets you what you see.

 

[PhysicX]

What a pile of ****... Why do people keep on spending money on this??

 

[habdynasty]

Nice play Sven. Useless

 

[habtastic]

The Office theme song?

 

[The Great Weal]

Lekhonen has mastered the invisibility routine. I guess playing with Plekanec does that to you.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

3 minutes left and DD still leading in ice-time amongst our centers.

4th center?

 

[Tyson]

There are about 20 other players you can bash on tonight. Why not give it a rest. You don't like Chucky, we get it. Move on.

You don't know anything about me. I actually like the kid. Folks are making all these excuses for his play and I don't buy it. He needs to step up.

 

[Hab-a-maniac]

Don't think Julien will come back here.

With all the issues, I'm not sure why not. Gainey canned him but he may see it as a chance to stick it to the Bruins too. But he could wait it out and say no until the off-season. Other vacancies might present themselves. He may see the writing on the wall with the Habs core and how they've been run and say no thanks. That leaves the Habs turning possibly to Hartley, Groulx or Roy (would we need to compensate those teams they've had contracts with?). Not nearly as good a crop of candidates. Watch Bergy go cheap if he ever has to can MT and give the job to the even worse Sylvain lol. The cheap thing that would be easy to get players going is make Muller the guy. But we all know the language debate!

look how hot he was before injury now look at team since he's come back who is helping him? plus he's not in game shape yet

Place is so weird. one week we are Cup contenders, the next week we need to get rid of everyone. You guys are so bipolar.

And hopefully they've now learned that it doesn't work. At least not here.

 

[PaulD]

Exactly! Show some spine and stop coasting.

He is fitting in to the teams structure. Took awhile but he gets it.

That's what I don't buy...the game shape excuse

 

[didimentionlarseller]

MT said this morning he isn't worried about Julien getting fired because he's too good not to find another NHL coaching job. A bit of irony there?

once he's fired here again Therrien won't work in the NHL again would be my guess

 

[PaulD]

You are crossing the two up

We have not been contenders for years.

Geoff Molson won't have any sympathy from me or the Habs fanbase. They won't stand for a 7+ year-long rebuild a la Edmonton, Buffalo, Toronto. Not with these ticket prices. If he sows the seeds of a decline, he has only himself to blame for employing the wrong people then giving them insanely misguided long contracts (especially the one to Bergevin that you do NOT give to a GM who hasn't won a Cup. Incredible weak-kneed move). He could find himself the most disliked exec this team has had since Corey. Ironic a Montreal born guy like him could be scorned while this city embraced George Gillette. I miss that guy!

I dont know what to do between crying or laughing..
