The state of the Habs Rebuild - The Next step

[Gaud]

im dissapointed with our injuries, Laine especially seemed to take the wind out of montreal (players and fans alike). Mtl is getting destroyed out there, though i enjoyed that little bit when Suzuki stood up and scored 2 goals..........until NYR scored again and shut that up. There is still caracter there

However - its been a while since i stopped listening to Mtl media sports shows and podcasts (ex 5 à 7 and On Jase). OMG its soooo negative! Frig people - "Dans le mix" (in the mix) is synonym to "dont expect to make the playoffs". Now its all about "Fire MSL" or "bring in an experienced coach to help". Yesterday was "You think Kent Hughes is a genius? Joe Sakic just slipped him Barron and Newhook".

Medias keep talking about fans' pressure being too much, but you are weaponizing them day after day. It's getting as toxic as Ducharme's last days and theres only been 7 games played out of a season that is expected to not make the playoffs. Jesus.

Can we just put a Michkov wrist slitting catch all thread on this board so I can ignore it?

Sunday is going to be insufferable.

Yep another powerplay point and a minus 2.

Add Michkov and this team wouldn't be much better than it is currently. They certainly wouldn't allow any less goals.

If Dach and Newhook don't take the next step those will be huge holes in the lineup to fill and just plugging in new rookies will make it even harder for everybody else. Plus if Slaf doesn't progress to match his contract nothing else matters they will be dead in the water.

The mix at defense doesn't work, that should be clear to everybody. Can they afford to wait 2-3 years or more and hope Hutson, Reinbacher and Lane all mature at the same pace?

And last but not least the coach looks lost and can't get the team to play well collectively.

Unfortunately, it's not looking good and adding 1-2 very good 18 year-olds will not change the situation.

DuPont is definitely turning heads.
Just the name alone screams don't pass up on me.
