What do you expect from the Habs after the break?

[Garnet76]

Curious to hear how you think the Habs will play after the break? Will they continue the losing streak? Bounce back and go on a run for a playoff spot, or maybe play 500. Hockey till the end of the year?

I thought they were mentally and physically exhausted going into the break and think some time off will help them regroup. Your thoughts?

I expect a better performance from the forwards, specifically Slaf, Dach, Newhook and Laine.

But we will still lose a bunch because we can't sustain the loss of Guhle.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Hope we lose every game , Although something like 4-20-2 would be acceptable for me

 

[sampollock]

#5 pick would nice too

 

[themilosh]

I expect somewhere in the .400 win% to close out the season, and a lottery win.

How would you know? They all over the place.

 

[The Great Weal]

In terms of overall standings, I can't see us improving much if at all. Especially with Evans, Armia, and/or Savard gone. In terms of individual performances, I think the top line will be much better.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

The boys are gonna need at least 2-3 weeks to get back into shape after their 2 week vacation

I fully expect Slaf and Dach to be fatter and drunker than ever before

#5/7 pick pls

 

[Tabarouette]

Honestly, for Evans and Savard to be gone

and in a perfect world, they'll find a deal to replace Dach earlier than the draft, i'd love to get a taste of someone else earlier than that instead of worrying all summer, wondering if our new #2C will be good enough

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Expect? More horrible uninspired play and plummeting down the standings to get a top 5 pick which we use to draft some plumber

I hope for them to look like they give a shit even a little bit but I definitely don’t expect it

 

[eklund the clown]

A lot of losing

 

[schwang26]

Losses and trades.

Draft 2025 our playoffs

 

[OldCraig71]

-Kirby Dach will win the green jacket.
-Laine will be slower
-Anderson will do even more useless laps
-Gallagher will fall on the ice
-Matheson will continue to keep it real
-Slaf will continue to poke-check and get run over
-MSL will get endorsed by a chewing gum company.

60 percent of the time I'm right all the time.

 

[ML16]

Habs give their best and the hockey Gods reward them with a lottery win.

Calgary’s pick somehow falls to 11 OA and the pick is bundled up with Evans’ return (late first) and early PIT’s 2nd for PIT’s 1st.

Habs end up drafting Schaefer and Desnoyers.

Profit.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Top 5 pick let's go!

With the amount of face palming, he would be perfect for selling Aveno products.

Much of the same. Hopefully, they will play .500 and show more passion.
