HF Habs: The official 2023-2024 tank thread

[Gravity]

With their win today Ottawa passes Montreal. Habs fall to 7th place in Atlantic with Buffalo only one point back.

Still 13th in East. NYI are 1 point back. CBJ I expect to finish last in East.

It's insane that we'd only pick 11th OA. West is absolute trash. Hopefully some teams can pick it up, like Edmonton, Nashville, Seattle & Calgary.

I don't know what's going on in Ottawa. They have all the pieces to be very good. Must really just be coaching.

Bottom 3 is pretty much San Jose, Chicago and Columbus. I don't see any teams out sucking those 3.

I hope we can. Chicago and Columbus don't deserve a damn thing after last year. Especially Chicago.

We're not even tanking. We can finish 5th from the bottom only if we play at 100% whole season.

 

[The Great Weal]

Frankly, I can't really say I'm excited for a top pick unless we win Celebrini. We have no idea what we are doing.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Damn Allen is ass

This tank thread will be a thing in the next 5 years.

 

[Tuggy]

Habs gonna be heading to California on a 4 game losing streak.

Maybe they win one on the trip.

Great game so far. Solid L and a goal for Slaf.

 

[cave troll]

Slaf erased his goal with that terrible turnover on Boston's 4th goal.

Nah. We'll draft Top 5 next 2 years and then these dudes who are running this show will get canned and some more competent guys will jump in.

That was his second brutal turnover this period. But he scored so nothing happened!

Hope our tank commander don't get injure. Don't want another career AHL player scoring left and right with the habs (like last year).

Surprise to see the Caps at #4 in the east. 8-1-1 in the last 10 games.....

Ovechkin’s unparalleled leadership

 

[red devil]

The Habs are now 3rd last in the conference and only 1 point ahead of Buffalo who have a game in hand. The west is extremely weak this year hope when the bottom dwellers play each other that they are 3 point games.

How the hell is Buffalo still this bad my God.

A lot of posters in this thread are gonna look pretty stupid when the Habs make the playoffs in 2061.

I am hoping to keep falling in standings. This isn't a good team, we need the pick. With Dach gone what little hope we had for decent season has vanished

Stench of losing, it's hard to powerwash off. It's a huge problem which tankophiles refuse to admit exists. There are so many negative externalities to losing that it is hard to justify doing it for a third straight year like we are.

On the other hand, this roster is not sufficiently deep to justify trying to salvage the season and make the playoffs. We don't have the horses. Suzuki is our most complete player and his 0.89ppg would land him about the same as last year (tied for 79th) in terms of PPG in the NHL.

You can't win a thing when your best player is 79th in the league. Might as well swallow the bitter poison and get through with this season.

 

[Holystik]

Thank for Celibrini, fawk this season.

They didn't improve in Net and in the dzone it's not unlike the Habs (young Ds with 2 vets).

 

[26Mats]

How the hell is Buffalo still this bad my God.

They used two 1st overall picks on dmen and their 2nd overall on Eichel, who they then feuded with. It will take some time for them to build back up their forward corps. But I think Benson will help long-term.
