HF Habs: The official 2023-2024 tank thread

[MarkovsKnee]

Dumbass Ottawa lost to the Blackhawks, who even had a goal overturned for an offside review.

Sens will still hold 4 games in hand after Montreal's game tonight. We'll see what the point separation is. It's currently 6 pts.

Ottawa will play 2 of those games in hand Monday & Tuesday, as Montreal doesn't play again til Wednesday after tonight. Unfortunately, they are @ Tampa Bay then @ Florida.

They'll probably go down to enjoy the Sunshine state & lose both games.

I’d be more happy if we were getting Celebrini/Lindstrom/Demidov this draft as we really need another stud forward - but hopefully they target someone in the next tier that can be that guy. I’m leaning Catton or Iggy.

We seriously need a lot of help with our forward group. Dach injury exposed our weakest problem with the Habs. We are very weak in the center position with out Dach and Monahan.

they couldn't even hold on for OT .. just horrible

How many years at the bottom of the standings for the Sens now?

These forever tank teams are pathetic.

Desired results for tonight:
- MTL reg. loss to WSH: WSH move 4 pts ahead with 2 games in hand.
- BUF OT/SO win vs. MIN: BUF win + MTL reg. loss = BUF tie MTL in pts but move ahead with 1 game in hand. MIN OT/SO loss + MTL reg. loss = MIN move 5 pts ahead with 1 game in hand.
- CGY win vs. DET: CGY win + MTL reg. loss = CGY move 5 pts ahead.
- NJD win vs. PHI: NJD win + MTL reg. loss = NJD move 8 pts ahead with 1 game in hand.
- CBJ win vs. SJS: CBJ win + MTL reg. loss = CBJ move 8 pts behind with 2 games in hand.
- NSH win vs. STL: NSH win + MTL reg. loss = NSH move 6 pts ahead.

*If MTL loses in regulation and BUF wins, MTL ends the night in 26th place (Bottom-7).*

Hoping ovie gets a hat trick on allen

No need to hope for embarrassment for our team.

We should sign Jagr to play out the year. He's probably horrible defensively and skates like molasses but could just play on the PP. Teach Slaf how to use his butt. Win-lose-win situation.

I would do it just to pad his stats a few more points.

How did the Sens just lose to the Ducks and Blackhawks back to back??

Yikes.

Losing mentality has taken hold. They have some excellent players but without the right attitude...doesn't matter.

it truly is a fine line you have to walk if you want to tank properly... because it's true that once a loser mentality sets in its hard to shake it.

that's why regardless of where we finish this year .. next year we need to start focusing on more wins.. probably end in the middle of the pack and miss the play offs... but there needs to be progression to avoid becoming like Buffalo and Ottawa.

At least Nashville and Buffalo won. Loser point for Minnesota is nice too

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hot damn! Buffalo wins in OT over Minnesota. Whoo-hoo!

Minnesota's one point puts them 4 pts up on Montreal with a game in hand.

Buffalo has officially passed Montreal finally! At least until the result of tonight's game is finalized. Sabres will hold a game in hand.

Nashville also won, so they move 6 pts up on Montreal.

Hope it hits Anaheim, sjs and Chicago for the next decade.

Cbu is at least trying

 

[McGees]

Omg Sens suck.
They can’t even beat Hawks and some people still think they’re gonna pass us???
Woof.

 

[rahad]

Suzuki don't ruin our tank night....

 

[26Mats]

Competitive game. Regulation loss. That's the way we like it.

At least Allen is good for the tank.

 

[Trabdy2]

Welp a regulation loss helps the cause!

 

[Skip Bayless]

Beautiful night.

 

[McGees]

HUGE 4 point loss tonight.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good game. Good loss.

Sabres finally move ahead of us and have a game in hand.

Caps move 4 pts up.

We don't gain more ground on Ottawa. They still have 4 games in hand on Montreal.

#7 pick.

 

[WeThreeKings]

That's a clutch loss. Next week is a soft week too, likely go 2-1-0 or 2-0-1.
