Post-Game Talk: Well, Caufield scores two in Habs loss.

[Cournoyer12]

Sorry I’m shamefully biased. No offense intended!

 

[Habs13]

Not in the 4th to 7th round range, which is something bunglebrains never understood

It's rare but sometimes you find a Marov in the 7th round

 

[ReHabs]

If tanking gets us Slafkovskys in exchange for 82 games of losing and a whole year wasted, may we never tank again. What a rotten deal, that.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

What he did on the ice does not necessarily translate to success behind the bench (see Gretzky). He has no experience at coaching at any significant level and it shows. He might be frustrated by his own lack of ability. The questions will get tougher and it will be interesting to hear his responses.

Personally, I think people expect way too much.

There's enough blame to go around the roster, don't need to pile on a coach who's there to help the youngsters.

If people thought this sorta sequence wouldn't happen, they need a reality check.

 

[Doc McKenna]

No, it would be a long drive from Michigan.

I hear you. I live across from detroit..actually moved, now closer to Grosse Ile.

I haven't watched many games this year because of crazy crap in my life, but I sure do pick em. Incredible to see what a talent CC is and of course the greatest goal scorer to ever strap on skates.

Yeah, but that's not where the gravy is

 

[OldCraig71]

I’m not concerned.

Welcome to rebuilding. This is what it looks like.

Nah, this is a team that has quit competing. We only have three-four guys that can create/score but we were given credit all season for our never quit attitude but now it seems to be gone. I know that we are a bottom feeder but you want your guys to play with heart and this is not it.

 

[Habs13]

Yeah, but that's not where the gravy is

True, but a 4th to 7th round is better than no pick at all. It's a lotto ticket. Then again... I'd pay a 4th to 7th to lose a lot of these players

Those that have quit competing will be on the block. Goodbye to Drouin, Dvorak and others…

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Happy new year everyone!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

exactly but they are there to help the tank, even when club was doing well, hugo both said lets wait, they knew what they built and the objective was to tnak

They didn't build anything. All these garbage players is on Bergevin. Thankfully, we're getting rid of half of them this off-season.

I expect them to be competitive Oz, I didn't say I expected the 77 habs did I? They went from fun to watch to unbearable to sit through. I don't need a reality check but I do want to see them compete and not get blown out, that is not good for them either.

 

[Tanknation]

Not sure why anyone would be upset. Regardless of how they lost. Main thing is that they lost. Big or small who cares. This game just guaranteed us a loss with no hope which we desperately need to continue to do game in and game out.

The more demoralizing a loss is, the happier I feel going into the draft. Need to make sure all hope is lost till out savior Bedard arrives

 

[sheed36]

None taken.

Ol Jimmy boy just can seem to win these big bowl games with UM so I was kinda expecting this today.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

You could also be missing out on seeing what you have in say, someone like Ylonen while you try and squeeze a 4th rounder instead of a 5th rounder by catering ice time to vets who checked out

There is opportunity lost in ice time for others by doing this

 

[HuGo Sham]

Can never have too many picks...

to clarify: meant not sure if getting late rounders for all our lazy stiffs really amounts to much

 

[Team_Spirit]

Whoa I didn't watch the game but that looked brutal Kovacevic completely walked loooool

The Ghoul injury will be catastrophic to this team. It's been unwatchable for weeks but this was the final blow. Expecting to be bottom 4 soon enough.

Thankfully we have the wjcs and the lotto picks.

It’s better this way.

This is actually our 1st tank year. Last year, Bergevin was still trying to make the playoffs & defended this team on his way out. "They're better than they're playing." LOL

No, no they're not.

Last year was an accidental tank. This year, they're going into it full bore.

Yeah Guhle getting hurt is devastating.

[70Stang]

So anyone else thinking this is all by design? You have a chance to get the next generational talent and you have a team full of deadwood. I honestly am not minding losing at all. I listen to MSL after the games and he is so even keel and never upset. This is all by design in my opinion. They need to improve the talent on the team. Hopefully Hoffman, Dru, Armia, Evans, Edmondson, Savard, Allan,Gallagher are on their way out. I'm good with playing Monty and Poulin in net lol. Also Harris needs to be in the AHL.

 

[Habs13]

to clarify: meant not sure if getting late rounders for all our lazy stiffs really amounts to much

Right now, I'd rather have the last pick in the draft over any of Hoffman, Gallagher, Dvorak, Armia, Drouin or even Byron.

 

[BozoTheClown]

I find it odd that people are comparing MSL to Dumb Dom... this is still the same team. It doesn't have any pieces that MSL has brought it yet - not counting the rookies. So what did people expect would change?

Still the same loser mentality with the same loser players. We have TWO good forwards and ONE with potential. That's it.

No doubt. This is still 75% Bergevin’s team and to think there are talks about us to starting to compete next year. It will be another couple of years.

You really need to get off Slafkovsky’s back, this is becoming ridiculous.
