Post-Game Talk: Montreal loses 5-1 to the Lightning. The wave the most exciting part of the game.

[BergevinBurner]

Still... we probably aren't finishing last

The tank is strong in Columbus, Chicago and Anaheim


But hey, you never know

Yea I feel like if we want any chance to compete with the bottom 3 we'll have to move Monahan+Eddy well before the deadline.

 

[1909]

Meh.. Whatever..

Now 3 losses in a row and heading out on a 7 game road trip. Ths Habs are currently last in the Atlantic and will likely stay there for the rest of the season.

The games against Ottawa and Anaheim were winnable.... But they allowed 2 and 3 goals to them before scoring one. Catch up hosckey is a recipe for catastrophy.

And Savard…

Our first line was soft as poo for two periods.

They had a good start then Allen allowed 2 goals on 4 shots and it was Game Over.

On soft coverage.

Title should have been 'This game is for the birds' IMO

You forgot to replace JG with Bergevin waving goodbye

On soft coverage.

They'll learn hopefully...

Marty doesn't seem too pissed lol

 

[Habs]

media getting all excited because the first two months we played all garbage teams for the most part lol...ooops

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Marty doesn't seem too pissed lol

He seems depressed having to accept to lose. This is not typical of Marty. He has been a winner his entire career.
It's sad for him. But he is the right coach for young players who developp.

 

[Kojo]

Should've sent Juraj to the WJC before the inevitable collapse.

 

[Tyson]

Both the Habs and Laval are bottom feeders

He just starting to find out that he could had need more coaching experience at higher level than Pee-Wee before jumping to the NHL.... Ask Mario Tremblay !

BUT.... he has the excuse to have to coach bad vets like Drouin, Hoffman, Armia, Anderson, Dadonov, Dvorak.......

He looks fine IMO, He knew what he was signing for.

Remember not to long ago when we thought Berard and Fantilli were going to be out of our reach...........hmmm

I Believe...just watched polar express

If our pick is top 5 and Florida's is between 10-15 with our pick we can get a top line forward and Florida's could get us a good right handed Dman (Reinbacher/Dragicevic/Gulyayev) then hopefully grab a late first and target some goalie prospects throughout the draft. We'd have most of the pieces we need for a rebuild.

With

3 RHD prospects with solid top 4 potential. Ie room for one to bust. (Maiiloux/Barron/New Guy)

4 LHD with top 4 potential room for two to bust. (Guhle/AX/Harris/Hutson)

5 top 6 forwards (Suzuki/CC/Salf/Dach/new pick). Hopefully grab Dubois to round it out.

Then target goalies like madmen and hope at worst you end up with two solid tandem goalies.

It's too easy to say. There is nothing to be done with this team. This is a team who collapsed one year ago. Even the very best coach of the world couldn't change the results.

I like your optimism. It could happen, let's hope it happens.

At least Arber won his fight.

The expression on Marty's face after the fight was priceless it looked like he was thinking yep there goes the game , not criticizing the fight but wtf do we seem to lose every f#$&ing game after Arbor fights, it's like it sucks the life out of our team. Anyways another predictable game ,turned it off after Allen Let in two goals on four shots.

It is supposed to have the opposite effect.

That Dostal guy from Anaheim, who had good saves, stole a game from Edmonton.
Vasilevsky was great today.
Sometimes the puck doesn't go in.

 

[morhilane]

First 3 game slide, Arizona next. If they don't win that one it could turn into a much longer slide (COL-DAL-TBL-FLA-WSH)

Second 3 games slide of the season, after the first one the Habs won 3 in a row...

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Tampa simply owns the Habs, and have for a long time. I don’t think anyone was expecting anything but a beating in this game.

And as far as the MSL bashing is going - do you guys not remember how awful this team was under Dumb Dom? He’s got FOUR rookies on defense playing regularly. FOUR. And other than the top line, there’s been no help.

Look at our lineup production up front:

These players have this many goals respectively:

Gallagher (3) in 22 GP - 6.5 million
Dadonov (2) in 26 GP - 5.0 million
Pezzetta (1) in 17 GP - 0.9 million
Pitlick (1) in 14 GP - 1.1 million
Evans (0) in 31 GP - 1.7 million
Drouin (0) in 15 GP - 5.5 million
Armia (0) in 20 GP - 3.4 million

That is a total of 7 goals. Between 7 players. In 145 man/games. At a cost of 24.1 million in cap.

That’s not MSL’s fault.
