HF Habs: The official 2023-2024 tank thread

[salbutera]

Armia and Pearson? Now we just need Gallagher to score to officially put the knife in our backs.

This is good news - Armia is what teams 3rd leading scorer w 10G? Wouldn’t shock me if some playoff team has interest in his services..

 

[Riggins]

Oh well, not mad at this one. You can't lose them all... unless you're Arizona. They will be tough to beat in the tank race even though they're outplaying us tonight. They will probably pick a D anyway as they need help on the back end badly.

The schedule turns crazy hard starting Thursday.

6th it is

Would be much easier to swallow if the kids scored instead of the useless plugs, oh well.

Arizona could very well beat the losing streak record (18), they're shit in every way.

 

[Balthazar]

devastating win

Also easier to swallow if we weren't dominated

[Rozz]

well our only hope now is a Sen miracle come back.

let's go sens! I guess.

 

[Nicko999]

Last season I was pissed at losses. This season I am not as pissed as there isn't any generational price. And the team will probably pick someone we aren't expecting. Zero trust in those scouts.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, back in 7th after tonight unless Ottawa comes back in 3rd against Nashville. We'll go one point up on Sens. They hold 2 games in hand still.

We're now 3 pts up on Arizona, but they have a game in hand.

We're 5 points up on Columbus and they have 2 games in hand.

We're 4 pts back of Buffalo.

We have a really tough 4 game road trip coming up. Florida, Tampa Bay, Nashville & Carolina. I don't see us picking up much in the way of points.

 

[Walksss]

Somebody should ask Marty why you start Montebeault in a critical tank game and how he plans to improve his tank commanding.

Still hope for Columbus to catch us. Good to see Arizona dominate the pkay tonight. Hopefully they can turn things around.

I definitely expect Ottawa to keep ascending in the standings.

Here's hoping they show the Habs some southern hospitality in the form of ass kicking.

We will manage to play 500, always like that.

The more teams gunning for that WC berth the better for hugo.. there are a few teams that "have" to go all in, so it's not out of the question to pick up another 1st with 1 of:
Savard (i think Tampa)
Armia (i see Washington)
Anderson (I see Pittsburgh)
Gallagher (i see LA) with retention
Allen (i see NJ)

Bro.
None of those will get a 1st.
We’d be lucky just to unload most of those for 0 return.

 

[Whitesnake]

Name me 1 team that won with that many dead weights on their team. Never going to happen till we get rid of them. And have money to enough to improve.

Nobody in this world wants Gallagher
Anderson is also useless he has negative value
Allen i think this summer for a bag of pucks

Savard yes could see a few teams interested once Tanev is gone and Armia is 50/50 one team might take a gamble but better chance next year

 

[McGees]

Leafs losing is the only decent thing to happen tonight. Big L for tank.

These guys are all vets and have fairly solid track records.. most teams know what type of player each is, and how valuable they become during the playoff grind.
Nobody is looking at this year stats and thinking any of the are done, except Gally.
Armia: hell of a playoff asset 3rd liner (like Eller)
Savard: easy 1st from Tampa
Anderson: gladly take on my team as a 3rd liner with insurance for the top 6 wing.
Allen: gladly would have preferred him to a Tokarski when we made our run. He's a perfect vet backup and possible starter for insurance. Only diff is, he's having a down year so we wont get a first. But hed be fine on any team looking for backup.

Youre inderestimating how valuable these guys are to complete a Cup run.. they are the exact tool teams need, which is what Toronto lacks and it shows.

 

[Michoulicious]

That sucks. A lot.

 

[1909]

Hey tankers, don't get depressed ! They just won ONE game in their last six and are going on the road to face Flo, TB, NASH and Canes....

 

[sheed36]

Sens had 0 shots in the 3rd and were outshot 20-0 vs Nashville. Yikes.

With our center depth we're gonna get crushed by a lot the remaining teams we play. I hope we give Primeau and Allen a good number of games.

Daaaaggg...
