  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Yes, Dobes looks like a future NHL goalie, but the Habs obviously aren't fully confident in him yet, which is why they've been overplaying Montembeault. That decision has created a lose-lose situation where we're not getting the best from either goalie. We're overworking Montembeault and underworking Dobes, which doesn't help either of them.

If the goal of this season was the playoffs, then getting a veteran backup would've given the team a more confident option, allowing them to rest Montembeault when it's best, instead of only when they have absolutely no choice.

To be clear, I'm NOT saying we should've gotten a veteran goalie. The playoffs may be the immediate goal, but they shouldn't be sacrificing the greater goal – longterm development and progress. Which is why I think they should play Dobes, mistakes and all, so that he'll become a better goalie next season and beyond, when we really need him.

They weren't overplaying Monty until recently. Dobes was playing every few games until the last 2 weeks.

Whichever veteran goalie we could've acquired wouldn't have been much of an upgrade, if at all, on Dobes. Monty's play schedule likely wouldn't have been much different whether the backup goalie was Dobes or a veteran.

I'd say Sorokin looking shakey is excellent timing with 2 games against Tampa coming up for the Isles, but apparently Kucherov disintegrated during Tampa's game the other night. So I'm not sure how dangerous their offense is gonna be going forward.

More fun to play golf than to get demolished after a grueling 82 games season. 🧐

I'm actually thinking that if the Habs make it, Gallagher's body might be finished for next year. It took him 2.5 years to recuperated the last time.
