The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Alzner...sigh Habs will really need to dig deep to come out of this game with the point which, up to now, they have deserved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Tough way to end the period. The Habs had played rather well in the second and even held their own on the penalty kills. Lernout logged a regular shift on those and didn't look out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link67 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 How do these guys feel ok about themselves leaving a guy like price hung out to dry like that time after time. Even after he plays his heart out and is the only reason some of these games arent complete blow outs. Boggles the mind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Finish the period with a goal against and start the new one with the same... ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thats a weak penalty to give Tampa a 5 on 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Regardless of the outcome of this game, this team needs a total reset. It’s very tiring not to have a forward thinking GM. All montreal’s Top players should be traded for premier prospects and picks as far as I’m concerned. Pacioretty, Weber, Plex, And even Price should be traded while they have value. Dump Alzners salary if possible. Start a new core starting with Drouin, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Lehkonen, Shaw. Complimented with young guys like Hudon and Mete, and hopefully Poehling in the near future. Hire a coach who they can actually flourish under in a possession based system.

Scott462 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Just noticed Montreal is losing again. Looks like we are sellers at the deadline.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Just now, Habber said: When is the trade freeze lifted? It already lifted. Don't expect the Habs to make moves til closer to the deadline. So teams can fit in contracts like Plekanec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habber Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thanks. I can't see captain Max making it to the deadline. He would be an awesome fit in Pittsburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronthab Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Imagine what its been like to be a Leaf fan all these decades. It feels like this X50. Damphouse and Cournoyer and the Flower are still looking pretty fit for old guys...anybody thinking of asking them in for a game or three? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link67 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The saddest part in all this is, this team can't even figure it out when Price is playing awesome, this is 2 games, based on his standout performance, that Price did not deserve losses for, yet here we are. Yes, it looks like this is a non-playoff season, No it is not time to Burn it all to the ground as some are already suggesting. It needs a shake up, a big shake up, but it does not need a can of gas and a lighter yet, with Price and Weber the pillars are still there to make something worthwhile. This team needs a top 6 shake up, it needs a top 6 re-tool, What I am seeing up there is not adequate, and quite frankly leading to lost years of Price and Weber's Prime years of very good hockey left. Defensively this team can actually get by on the backs of Price and Weber alone, but offensively, it is going to be challenged unless something ground shaking happens up there. It was our main point of weakness for years, compounded once more last spring even more evidently. Yet here we are with an unimproved forward group, hindered further by unforseen anomalies like Pacioretty and Drouin not producing as expected leading to an actual offensive regression from last season. There is a re-build coming, in 3 to 4 years, there is a re-build coming. But right now, this team, this management group needs to get on its horse and re-tool this offense before it squanders the years leading up to this re-build swimming around 10th place. Can someone tell me again why after we got Drouin, we didn't re-sign Radulov, and Markov, why we didn't look right past Alzner on the UFA sheet. Why did we not just take what we had, added Drouin to it, got rid of Emelin and Beaulieu, sign Jerabek, and maybe still got Schlemko, and then focused all our efforts on looking for a Center via any means to acquire it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
