Post-Game Talk: Utah undefeated vs Habs all time. Bergevin trade strikes again.

[Habby4Life]

Arber, Struble and Heineman played fantastic imo.

Poor Laine, landing in this shit show.
Imagine a line with Slaf, Dach and Laine!
6 months ago I would've excited.

Now though....

Dach is a line killer.

 

[1909]

Dach is a line killer.

At this point, keep him on the 4th and no more than 10-12 minutes per game until he re-gain his shape and confidence.

Slaf needs to re-energize on the top-six.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Because amongst other things, the veteran leadership is completely non existent. Who do the young guys look to for inspiration when they see ghosts like DVo Armia, Anderson and Savard give no second effort..

I thought Dvo & Savard played well tonight. Well, during the times Savard wasn't in the penalty box. Also, Armia was epic on the pk. None of them are meant to be leaders. They're support players.

 

[Rapala]

Meh I want to know when RHP checks in.

 

[OnTheRun]

Meh I want to know when RHP checks in.

They extended his conditioning stint, so 2 more game with Laval.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Slaf pooped the bed

I don't think Slaf played that bad. He had two fantastic setups: one to Armia, one to Suzuki. Both missed the net, which was an overly strong theme tonight. He played well defensively and had a dominant shift after getting on the ice with Gallagher.

Slafkovsky's game is based off cycling the puck, and making plays off the rush, but there's no one for him to cycle with. Dach doesn't play that game. Anderson sucks at it.

Gallagher or Suzuki are the best pairings for him, or even Heineman.

 

[1909]

Meh I want to know when RHP checks in.

He's gonna save the season !

 

[nhlfan9191]

Of course, the guy had a full blown mutiny on his hand after less than a year as HC. That's quite the accomplishment.

The worst thing to happen to Ducharme was Claude Julien. I always thought he had the potential to coach a good exciting game but he became as much of a dinosaur as the rest of the plugs we’ve kept employed outside of maybe Guy Carbonneau in the 21st century.

 

[The Real Timo]

LIstening to Marinaro and Max Lapiere... Max is a pretty smart cookie I find. He is making some very good points.

 

[GordonGraham]

Meh I want to know when RHP checks in.

i think they got him 2 extra days in laval so they will have to call him back or put him on waivers thursday/friday

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Not the kind of game you want following up after that last train wreck

 

[Habby4Life]

At this point, keep him on the 4th and no more than 10-12 minutes per game until he re-gain his shape and confidence.

Slaf needs to re-energize on the top-six.

I agree, Slaf should play with NS and CC. He is part of the core moving forward, Kirby isn’t.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Dach is way too f***ing fat to be out there for 3v3, my grandmother could have told you that

 

[1909]

At this point, I would bring back Gainey and Carbo behind the bench. True leaders with coaching experience.

 

[salbutera]

Bad bad bad team... Not much else to say, HuGo are obviously tanking again this year. Suzuki realized it and he's mailing it in. Dach and Slaf are just struggling really bad tho.

Can Laine really save this sad bunch??

It’s one thing to be the hunter which Slaf-Suzuki-Cc were last season, and quite another to be “the hunted” … that adjustment at the NHL level is enormous.

So yes, if Laine can contribute by providing secondary offense that’s been non existent from a 2nd line….it will “save this sad bunch”

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Not the kind of game you want following up after that last train wreck

They're trying to get Marty fired

 

[Habby4Life]

At this point, I would bring back Gainey and Carbo behind the bench. True leaders with coaching experience.

Let Carbo finish out the year, than totally revamp the staff in the summer.

 

[eurodin]

The forwards are terrible, stop blaming the defense.

Defense is equally terrible.

 

[Rapala]

i think they got him 2 extra days in laval so they will have to call him back or put him on waivers thursday/friday

This I know my sarcasm meter isn't what it should be I guess.

 

[VT]

There is a difference between getting benched in the 3rd period to send a message and getting demoted to the ahl. Talk about destroying the confidence of your 1ov. They all play like shit. Suzuki, Caufield, Dach, Newhook. Should they send them down too?

• They don't have rookie contract. And again, only on the paper so that a player might be recalled from Laval I mean 1-2 games. If I understand right, Laval is next Montreal.
• Dach didn't play much time, if he doesn't make stupid mistakes, he can be apologized. Also I am saying about conditional games in his way. It is possible, look at Jarry.
• Laine was healthy-scratch too. One game. On the anniversary of his father's death, btw. Try to imagine how he felt himself.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Team missed Matheson offensively tonight, say what you will about him but we would've had more than 13 shots jesus

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Do some people really said we played a decent game? ,13 shots against a bottom team at home abysmal PP nobody except Monty Jackeye and Guhle did something decent.

We are so far bottom the barrel that playing abysmal is somehow acceptable while we arrive December. Hilarious

 

[TRG]

At this point, I would bring back Gainey and Carbo behind the bench. True leaders with coaching experience.

pls no.

 

[salbutera]

Let Carbo finish out the year, than totally revamp the staff in the summer.

This whole HuGo experiment is about doing what Frank Selke Sr did back in 1947… getting completely away from the way the org traditionally did things… innovate

Despite winning 2-Cups in 3 years GM Tommy Gorman was replaced by Selke Sr who went 7-years rebuilding the entire org before winning a Cup

 

[OnTheRun]

It’s one thing to be the hunter which Slaf-Suzuki-Cc were last season, and quite another to be “the hunted” … that adjustment at the NHL level is enormous.

Laine will help bringing balance to the top6, but I don't think it will happen right away. He's coming back after 2 long term injuries, expects him to need time to get the ball rolling.
