Pre-Game Talk: Montreal vs. Anaheim: Sunday @ 4:00PM EST (TSN2 / RDS)

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Because double shifting Dvorak is the clean path to victory duh.

Or Dach ending periods when you continually give up goals

Or Dach brutal and you keep putting him out there

More Newhook on every line

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Just turned on the game. MSL finally benching Laine?

 

[sampollock]

keep losing games and drop down for a top 10 draft pick

 

[Canadienna]

Score effects are such a funny thing.

We had basically zero zone time up until they get the go ahead goal and now we're controlling some of the play again.

 

[windycity]

Which is the bigger meltdown - the Habs in Anaheim or fans on this board?

 

[Bigtrout]

everything went downhill when Heineman got injured, would have loved to watch playoffs hockey but they could really use another top 10 pick

 

[Pomee]

Please, dont let Matheson play with the 1st line, he is killing any chance they got with his stupidity!
They finally get possesion in the zone and he f***s up an easy pass!

 

[schwang26]

Should’ve know they weren’t going to maintain their winning percentage from January. They’ve really come back down to earth. I’m back in the sell camp. After this trip, they’ll be way out of the race. I think Dahlin is back, so even Buffalo will probably catch them.

 

[Riddick412]

Habs were not going to make the playoffs. At least sucking before TDL forces them to sell the dead weight.

 

[Noble]

Imagine when your best player is f***ing Dvorak

Unforgivable performance. Just disgraceful.

 

[OnTheRun]

He's better than Laine and Dach tonight. And has a goal.

And this is pretty representative of how this game is going.

 

[zx81]

You can see that they tried to do more dump and chase after Minnesota neutered their offense. They really suck at it

 

[Team_Spirit]

LOL. I'm rewtaching Dach on Killorn's goal. Putrid. Guy doesn't give a ****.
Why is this dude even in our roster? He's a waiver material.

 

[Natey]

He is garbage, Crap. Feces. Leaching of MacKinnon.

He hasn't even only played with MacKinnon.

I don't want him back, but this is just pure bullshit commentary due to an agenda.

 

[The Real Timo]

Because double shifting Dvorak is the clean path to victory duh.

Who is a better candidate today? Absolutely every single player, with exception of maybe Armia has been absolutely atrocious today.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Just turned on the game. MSL finally benching Laine?

Would lead if it was Dach benched

 

[yianik]

With a strong experienced GM. When you pair then with a GM who can't impose his view over the coach what happens is those kind of coaches become like assistant GM and you really don't want that. At some point toward the end of his career Martin was like half a GM and when i look at the Frost/Farabee trade it's how it feels with Tort too. From a GM perspective the trade makes 0 sense.

Yes, Martin was forcing Gaineys hand by not playing certain guys, and making 4th liners first line players, like Darche.

Remember when Bergevin got PAP, Briere and Vanek ? Therrien decided he didn't like these additions and so didn't utilize them. I get that Vanek was a bit lost in the post season but when your team isn't scoring do you hope a prolific scorer regains his touch by playing his way out of it, or do you put him on the 4th line with, 4th line talent ?

So yes, you need a GM who will call remind the coach who calls the shots.

 

[ahmedou]

 

[gusfring]

Keep putting Kirby out there coach

Coach shouldnt cost you games with bad decisions

We don't have anyone else. Pezzetta is in the lineup.

 

[Seven7]

stfu Marc Denis. Benching Laine is well deserved.

 

[SwiftyHab]

I blame you! It’s all your fault you were the leader of the anti tank lobbying!

Don’t know what you’re talking about. I was always pro tank thread. I love tank people. My uncle was a tanker. My father used to March in the Tank Parade before we started accepting tanking as a lifestyle

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I hope some fans are humbled, it's a reminder that we are not ready to make the playoffs, we need to take our time and build a stronger base.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Are they still too tired?


Not enough practice?


What other excuse?

 

[OnTheRun]

Considering he's been our best forward. (WTF did I just type?) Can you blame MSL? lol

I'm not blaming anyone. Just saying if Dvorak is your best card, you're f***ed.

 

[gusfring]

Won't make any difference
