HF Habs: The official 2023-2024 tank thread

[Hacketts]

This loss feels like it's the beginning of the end for the 23-24 season.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Gallagher is our man. he's more useful healthy with all those dumb penalties

 

[Gravity]

God bless Gallagher. Our leader and valiant commander.

 

[EXPOS123]

Beginning of the end - right on cue like last year at this time

 

[MeanMugging91]

All part of the process. This year like last I look at the young guys and not so much the results. It'll be a long road but we're headed in the right direction. If you were expecting a 12- wild card spot it might sting but I'm hoping to aquire a pillar offensively in this year's draft. A Catton or Demidov is what this team needs.

Yup... Though if we hadn't lost Dach in game 2, we'd probably be sitting with 2-3 more wins and still in the thick of it.

As long as we keep competing this well and the young guys avoid major injury, the losses will keep being easy to endure.

But it would be nice to see CC snap out of his funk

Dach wouldn't change much to the structural issues the team is showing.

And CC is back to Ducharme era at this point...

Couldn't disagree more.

And CC is in a scoring funk, yes, but nothing like his time with Ducharme (1g 29games, only 1x with >4 shots)

He's getting chances just not finishing... With DD he was a complete non-factor.

He was a total non-factor tonight...

 

[Miller Time]

He was a total non-factor tonight...

Yup. And he will be again at some point this year.

When he hits 20 games like this in a row, then we can start talking "Ducharme era"

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He was a total non-factor tonight...

Of course he was. He is playing with Dvorak. If Monahan was his centre within a few games he would be out of his slump.

With Dach Habs would likely be close to a playoff spot in February. He would make up for some of the structural issues because Habs would have the puck more.

 

[Walksss]

Yeah baby everything going well for team tank. If we didn't have an affinity for OT we'd really be doing this right. Another year with a top pick and a great pick from Calgary in 2025 and we'll be all set.

I love CC but no excuses. If he's the play driving winger we claim he his, excuses of playing with Dvorak don't hold any merit. He needs to make Dvorak better not vice versa.

That being said, he'll snap out of it soon.

 

[Andrei79]

He was a total non-factor tonight...

He had chances. Had an almost sure goal actually that he wouldn't have missed last year.

That's what goal scorers look like when they're slumping.

Hopefully, we end up drafting Celebrini. We need a elite center. With out Dach , it is pretty much weak in the middle. Dvorak is in a decline and Evans is your average fourth line center. Suzuki is your perfect #2C in a elite/champion tier team.

We also don't know if Dach is going to be okay next year.

 

[McGees]

I still don’t think we come anywhere near top 5.
I AM team tank tho.
PROVE ME WRONG SOME MORE GALLY!

 

[SlafySZN]

This team has 2 regular wins.

They should be top 5 or close

 

[Habitant#1]

Three juicy regulation Ls in a row!! LFG!!!

San Jose is up 5-0, if they win that leaves the Habs dead last in regulation wins!

Though the most important number is actually regulation losses. One more of those and we'll be among the bottom six teams!

[NotProkofievian]

A middle of the pack team SV% = this team bleeds goals and falls in the standings.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Anderson and Gallagher are legendary tank commanders

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Let's hope Boston are pissed at their last outing against us.

Then it's out west we go, Anaheim, SJ and LA, finishing the road trip in Columbus.

2 or 3 wins in our next 5?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

He had chances. Had an almost sure goal actually that he wouldn't have missed last year.

He's gotten tons of scoring chances at 5 vs 5 last few games he's just not finishing.

Looking forward to trading Pearson at TDL, and recalling Roy & Farrell to end season.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Anderson and Gallagher are legendary tank commanders

3 years left for both of them too. Ugh.

 

[ReHabs]

3 years left for both of them too. Ugh.

Kent is still waiting for the Josh Anderson offer that'll blow his socks off.

Not sure if we're watching a new foxhole or a worse GM. Can't say on the whole I'm impressed either way.
