The good old days

Mistake imo for his development. Let him dominate in Laval.

if they recall RHP , him and Roy can huck purses in the corners

Back when we did not hesitate to trade old players on the decline.

So true , now they hang on to them like the are collector cars. So stupid and irritating. Imagine if they traded Price at the right time, the haul they could have gotten for example. Now we got guys like Savard sitting here, maybe get a 3rd rounder at this point

Back when there was no cap and no garranteed contracts....

 

[Rapala]

Habs have been sucking for 4 years now...

I find you are being generous. The only time we haven't sucked was in the Covid 2 playoffs.
The very poor play actually goes back to The foxhole year and a game we blew at home to the Washington Capitals.
Some would argue even before then as Price was the only thing holding us together for the most part.

Can understand the knee injury. But Dach wasn't even trying last few games. Like you said he is capable of much better effort

Were you in his brain / body to know the bolded?

FYI, fancy stats state the following: 1-2 respectively on the Habs for xGF% in November

Dvorak 58.14
Dach 58.04

Big improvement for Dach from Oct of 41.36 - stat incorporates puck possession numbers, time in offensive zone etc. His November numbers indicate he should be scoring more or that the team should be when he's on the ice. So it's a bit of head case and bad luck.

Furthermore, significant change in the team's numbers as a whole.

October: 38.60 xGF% – 29th
November: 51.92 xGF% – 12th

Habs didn't have one regular over 50% in October, 12 in November…

Stats suggest Habs started to turn things around a while back and w pending insertion of Laine + Roy should bear offensive fruits

 

[HuGort]

He's playing scared , it's not a valid excuse though , should sit if he's not gonna skate hard.

Something mental definitely

S-tier tanker game just happened.
Omg.
Man those teams got problem.
St-Louis could get fired for this.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Utah is a bottom feeder. Looks like the tank is on.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Phoning it home for Martone

 

[Habby4Life]

Only guys worth keeping are NS, CC, Slaf, Guhle, Hutson, and Monty. The rest are garbage.

The rebuild needs a rebuild.

Start by hiring an NHL coaching staff and send this one back to pee wee.

ALL they need is to unload the dead weight - Dvroak, Armia, Andertson and bring in Demidov and possibly Beck and Davidson and Laine and they may look completely different.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Hockey is fast, one day you are great, the next you are a bust.

Dach was our future #2C, he's playing like garbage.
Slaf was a unicorn, today he can barely do something on ice.
The team is lost defensively.

Maybe the problem is somewhere else, hopefully.

They need a lot more than that. This team is garbage other than maybe 4 or 5 guys.

MSL is in the running for worst Habs coach of all time. Makes Ducharme look like a tactical genius. First thing they need to do is hire a real coaching staff.

We’ll need a whole right side of the D for one thing. Savy is probably leaving and we’ll need a duo of top 4 right D no matter what. That’s just one thing.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Caufield - Suzuki - Laine
Slafkovsky - Demidov - Dach

Schaefer - Reinbacher
Guhle - Mailloux
Hutson

Poor Demidov.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

We need a shot from the point, our defense is not great either. Our second 1st almost has to be a dman with a strong point shot.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Poor Demidov.

Hughes has certainly taken a page out of this book for us. For Pete's sake we got a first for Monahan coming and going.

Welcome to rebuilding... sorry but this is how it works. Sometimes you take a step back.

we need a rule on hfboard for AI art please

not because it's unethical but because it allows people to make the most unfunny boomer-humor memes way too confidently

That's on me , not a fan of the AI art but I had to stop taking 35 minutes of my paid work time to photoshop our stupid players head on things

It's not always a step back though sometimes it's just the kids struggling. I don't think the Avs took a step back in 2016-2017. They finished last in the NHL with 48 points in 2016-2017 and the following year they made the playoffs with pretty much the same lineup and coach.
