HF Habs: Road trip ahead

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Taking a short break from here since tensions have gotten high.

Keep in mind we wanted the Habs to endure this year and then never losing this much again… MSL has nothing good to work with, our rookies and youngsters are over-performing and will surely slow down (this might be happening already), while our vets are either useless or underperforming and might wake up (but it’s unlikely). The criticism of MSL has started but it’s important to keep a perspective: the Habs don’t have an NHL-worthy roster. The results therefore will be random, or worse.

I don’t think MSL is a master coach but I do think he has the right approach to hockey and will be successful as a coach once the Habs have an adequate or better roster.

Unfortunately the Habs can easily go 4-3 in their next span, or 3-4. But it won’t be the disaster slide the tank needed. Why? Because the results will be random. We have and enjoy great impetus from MSL and we know Coal Caufield can break any game… but we also have horrific and bad depth, and many players in bad form.

We have 2 wins in our last 8 games against mostly weaker teams than most of the teams we'll be facing for the next 6 weeks, so I doubt we go 4-3 or even 3-4, but we never know.

Nah, we beat Florida and that's it

Ideally, there is some controversy like both teams come to the rink with **** Bettman shirts or something, and the league assigns a double forfeit so neither Montreal nor Florida get the 2 points.

2-3-2

W- Arizona & Florida
L- Nash, Wash, Tampa
OTL - Dallas & Colorado

7 game winstreak inc, this team cannot be beat

Hopefully our only win is vs Florida in regulation. They are 15-13-4 as of today. Them early pick odds are making me thirsty.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

3 games, 3 pts, and we came perilously close to picking up a point versus Dallas.

I guessed 5 pts, which means only 1 more win, or 2 OTL in next 4 games.

TB: Definite loss
FLA: 50/50 with their injuries
Washington: Definite loss
Nashville: Preds should win, but they've been woefully inconsistent this year, 60/40 in their favour

I'm thinking maximum another 3 pts.

1-2-1.

Ovechkin will become the #1 goal scorer against the Habs.
