Post-Game Talk: Winless in Minnesota est. 2011

[Habano]

Matheson with 28+ minutes because you know, he's just that good!

 

[The Real Timo]

Exactly what Marty will say in his presser, maybe adding the famous ''it's a hard league''

Media needs to start calling out St Louis and Hughes. Enough of this BS. The team is horrid and not moving in the right direction. NObody is ever f***ing accountable.

 

[Rapala]

If Barron has recovered from his brain damage Struble can take a seat.
I Liked Arber Xhekaj in this one if Dvorak wasn't such a dork on the PK he could have sent him in free.

 

[Kimota]

Give me a f***ing gritty coach. I am sick of this. Jack has completely stopped hitting. His X Factor has disappeared.

Marty was pretty intense and gritty for a skilled player back in the day. But as a coach, his players play like ghosts. No f***ing balls.

 

[FLHabs]

The fans have been supporting the team throughout the rebuild, but think this might be the year the rebuild will hit Molson's pockets. They're so much worse than last year, everybody has regressed.

 

[Team_Spirit]

3 more years to be rid of the last of bergy's contracts. Fowler will likely be here by then. god help us.

The Wild are on their last year bleeding 14M on buy outs lucky them

 

[GordonGraham]

Well yea, still got a few years for the rest of Bergevin's plugs to be off the roster.
And new goalies.

yeah but still after all those years the only guys putting pucks in the net are bergevin guys (suzuki caufield and gallagher) 23 goals out 46

Yup X played very well

Clearly referring to Armia, Dvorak, Gallagher, Anderson, Mtb. Too much money for these.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Montreal didn't play that bad. They seem to be coming around defensively unfortunately it seems to be at the cost of offense.

Montembeault was fine tonight. Gustafsson didn't really get too many hard shots. Minnesota did a great job boxing Montreal out for the most part and stuck to their neutral zone trap all game.

Montreal needs to get Hutson onto PP1. It's ridiculous that MSL didn't have one of his best players out there on that final PP late in 3rd when we desperately needed a goal, so stupid. Dach is doing f*** all, so replace Dach with Hutson. Geezus, so frustrating.

I didn't expect to beat Minnesota, so I'm not too upset.

We now have a 4 game home stand: Columbus, Edmonton, Vegas & Utah.

 

[GordonGraham]

First in the league... when I hold my screen upside down.

Also first at -24 Jets are at +36

Just watch the Laval games. Pascal Vincent will likely be our coach in another 1-2 seasons once Hughes finally fires Marty.

 

[The Great Weal]

Well.....at least we didn't concede 5+!

We sacrificed what little offense we had to not get blown out

 

[Hannibal]

For the last 3 weeks, Xhekaj is playing more and more like himself.

Confidence is starting to come back

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Supposed to be fostering talent and offense and our coach is more concerned about developing Mike f***ing Matheson

Players are regressing but all good

 

[HabbyGuy]

JFC I don't know what game you were watching if you saw no positives. Don't talk to me about the shot totals, Minnesota is all about team D first. From a structure stand point this was one of our better games of the year.

There was a lot to like in this one, especially in contrast to what we've seen.

 

[Rapala]

Matheson should not be playing ~ 7 minutes more than every other skater.

The Dach - Slaf - Suz line at least has decent possession and xG metrics, even if they can't finish.

Refs were trash tonight.

Dach is still way too hesitant. I'd replace him and Matheson on PP 1 it's f***ing time.
These are the types of games you need him on with the top line and the top PP.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

The fans have been supporting the team throughout the rebuild, but think this might be the year the rebuild will hit Molson's pockets. They're so much worse than last year, everybody has regressed.

The important guys played pretty well. When you have a lot of veteran plugs and a 4th line plug Evans centring the 2nd line you aren't go to win much.

Yeah, it's time to play Barron again. Struble can sit.

 

[Tyson]

It's going to get worse before it gets better

 

[Habs7631]

Looks like another 3 years of rebuild in store.

I say 2. Lots of deadweight gone and a lot of new young blood will earn spots by then.

And of course Demidov+McKenna

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf. High end complementary players. None of them are elite.

This team needs elite talent badly. Someone that can create offense vs good teams defending a lead. We don't have that right now. Hopefully Demidov. We need another though.

 

[Goal Caufield50]

Our offence is terrible

little compete and emotion

 

[1909]

Dead last in the standings…. Great time to be a Habs’ fan !

I don’t mind (that much) the lost but I will never accept the lack of effort.

 

[teamfirst]

He'd be right.

Through my eyes, that was one of the better games I've seen the habs play this year.

Defensively you're right, still wasn't what i'd call a great game tho, but they where so bad since the start of the season that this game is probably one of their best
