Post-Game Talk: Seattle Seahawks beat Montréal Alouettes 8-2

[BLONG7]

I like the word context more than excuses.

I said it as well.... our D is too young and our overall team is young. Center depth needs work and when you got a young D, that has ripple effects.

Our vets are not good enough to carry this team.



It's a rebuild and fans have to realize this is what they asked for. Expecting us to rise up fast after a rebuild is not on the team, it's on the fans.

This is exactly the problem with rebuilds in Canada... we get a few pieces in place and then pressure to move up starts before it should. Fans/Media are going to create pressure that US teams don't. Their managers are able to do their jobs in piece.

Pretty much nails it.............and as much as we all like Marty, our coach has been below average in his decisions from the get go this year. His situation awareness during the game, is pretty bad.

Let me make this clear again...most fans accept the rebuild but won't accept a team that spots another team multiple goals in the first few minutes and then shows little to no pride. I don't care about wins and losses at this point, I care about effort and some sort of visible progress.

call up Dobes give him a shot

Yeah let's rush him and ruin him too! No former Hab great goalie could help this team.

 

[BLONG7]

The only good thing about this game is that the Habs were out of it so quick that I had time to watch a movie after shutting it off.

I went to the World Series....good game, but then Yanks blew it wide open late.

You can't be down, 2-0 on 2 shots..............then 4-0 on 8 shots...............last week, and now again this week...........If I lived in Montreal, no way do I spend money to go see that kind of showing.

yes because he's an 18 year goalie lol

I have no idea what that mesns

 

[SwiftyHab]

I get that the defense sucks, but the goalies have sucked too besides the first 2 games of the season.

Everything sucks. It’s like we’re at a P Diddy freak off

I actually did not mind Marty's conference. He didn't like that some of the players said:"we have to throw this game into the trash and start over". He was like "we cannot just throw it" meaning we have to be accountable of the crap we did. And looking at it. I also agree with him that it's not the same as when they faced the Rangers when they were dominated. Here a lot of things sort of happened (really Monty blew chunks). Just a weird turn of events all around.

Bottom line though was that they sucked.

He's not going to hold anyone accountable.

He's saying what people want to hear.

He has barely held anyone accountable. The only ones I remember are Armia, Xhekaj and Pezzetta.

Suzuki D+8, Dach CC Newhook D+6, Dvorak Anderson Gallagher Evans Armia are seasoned veterans, there is no excuse to not blocking shots for them (even assuming I'd give a pass to Kapanen, Heineman, Slaf due to inexperience)

Slaf is tied with Dach for most blocked shots among forwards...in two less game played. Statistically, he block almost 1 more shot per 60 minutes played than any other forwards (who played more than 3 games, Pezzetta has a similar rate). CC/Newhook do not block shots (they have a few blocked, but it's probably by accident).

Among the Ds, Guhle is the most proliferic shot blocker, but the next most played dmen (Savard, Matheson, Hutson) are at the top of the block shots rate list too. So Ds aren't really a problem (Xhekaj could try to learn to block shots thought, he's at the bottom of the D list).

Slaf is also at the top of the team for hits, only slighty behind Heineman in hit rate, but he plays more so he gets to hits more people.

Slaf is the team real hard to play against player. Unfortunatly, he's also like the only hard to play aginst player on the team.
He was very annoyed in this game.
He even bumped into Hutson to take the puck before him and start a circle in the ozone during the 2nd period.

 

[MasterD]

I don't really care for him, but DXhekaj was better as a rookie than he slid 3rd year.

That's on coaching.

 

[WinterLion]

Monty has fallen back to earth and landed at the bottom of an outhouse shitter

Perfect!

 

[Tuggy]

Not a lot to say after last night's performance. I was left disgusted with most of it.

Way too many nights like that with this team. I thought maybe they got back on track after the weekend...but seriously

 

[Tyson]

The Rebuild is real! The pain and frustration is immense.
I fugure that management probably has a plan in place to address issues after the 10 game mark, we'll here we are...10 games done

 

[SlafySZN]

I don't really care for him, but DXhekaj was better as a rookie than he slid 3rd year.

That's on coaching.

Not at all

He was similar in his rookie season, people were just too excited about the fighting and tough guy stuff. Plus he was a surprise to make the team people were not expecting anything from him, it’s easier to be satisfied.

 

[morhilane]

Oof, looking at the post-game quotes.


Suzuki "I don't think it's a pattern [f we don't start the game ready].". It has happened for 90% of the games in the last 3 seasons. It is 100% a pattern and it's your job to fire up your teammates before the game. Suzuki might keep the boys together like a big happy family, but he's not team captain material.

Matheson/Savard took a week, after Guhle mentioned it in the media, to do a D corp talk. It should have happened the night Guhle mentioned it.

This team vet leadership is not proactive at all. So much for culture.

The journalist(s) asking coach/players what they think the fans feel right now. I think the players have much pressing issues than getting cupabilized by bringing up the fans who have to endure this shitshow...and I'm saying that as a fans who has to endure this shitshow.

I watched an old John Wayne western! Rio Bravo!

Great choice! Can't go wrong with The Duke, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. The remake, El Dorado, is also excellent. Same story and director, but with Robert Mitchum playing the alcoholic sheriff and James Caan in the Ricky Nelson role.

I've been on a horror film kick this month with it being Halloween, so watched Jennifer's Body, with Megan Fox as a demon-possessed cannibal.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Open the tank thread let us have some positivity !!!!

 

[LaP]

This is the worst defensive habs team I have seen in a very long time.

Yes, goalies need to be better but the team is leaving them out to dry too many nights.

The Traverse and Dykhuis years were something too.

We are actually 1st in the NHL for blocked shots. There was only 23 shots yesterday are you saying the team defense has to allow less than 20 shots? I still maintain that any okayish performance from a goalie yesterday result in 5 goals max. Any good performance 4 goals max.

 

[Andy]

I honestly don't feel the score reflects the actual state of the game in the first and second period.

Seattle wasn't really doing much at all in the first, but got 3 goals on 3 routine shots. They didn't dictate the pace, or hem the habs in their zone. They didn't even really generate many scoring chances. I found the habs the better team in the first and second, but they hit 4 posts, and whiffed on a couple of rebounds, while seattle scored by lobbing pucks at the net.

The team just became completely flat after Monty let in another bad goal on Seattle's 5th. Again, the game didn't really get away until then. The team was then deflated and coasted until the 60 minute mark.

Goaltending really failed the team early on.
