Not to toot my own horn, but I nailed my 4-6-1 prediction for October:dunce: I didn't think it'd look this ugly though lol.

I'm gonna go with 4-8-0 for November. I think we'll start playing a bit more defensively and our goaltending numbers will be better. But I'm expecting our powerplay to regress a bit and Caufield to cool down to a more sustainable scoring pace.

Last year, we were bad, but some games were exciting and close. This year, when we lose, it's a clear loss, not close at all. Our losses have been really ugly, have been completely dominated.

Comparing to last year, I find that the team performance has regressed.

i’d wager it’s just worse goaltending tbh

4-6-2

The good
Monty settles down and finishes the month <.905
Dach & Newhook start producing at .8+ clip
Hutson scores 3x, remains at top of Calder race
CC remains on pace for 50 in 50

The bad
Guhle misses most of the month
Defense continues to struggle, X & Barron in particular remain depth caliber

The ugly
Dvorak is still here
Primeau continues to be a poor #2
Impatient fans keep piling on the coach & select scapegoats (Barron, Matheson, Newhook) because they don't get what a rebuild looks like
i like the optimism, i try to see the positives too, but Newhook producing at 0.8PPG?

Optimistic to be sure...

In March/April last year, he finished the season with 16pts/22games (.72ppg)... He started the year off poorly, and maybe last year's finish was just a fluke, but I'm hopeful it's just a cold start that he shakes off and we'll see him go on a tear.

0-12-1. That's one more loss than games scheduled for November yet somehow only they can make it happen. Isn't that right Button?

Montreal's 4 game road trip is not an easy one.

@ New Jersey
@ Toronto
@ Buffalo
@ Minnesota

The Calgary game should have been a win. I can see us losing all 4 of these games. Maybe we squeak out a win against Buffalo or Toronto.

We're on a 4 game winless streak as it is.

2-6-2 over last 10 games is worse record in NHL.
