2023-24 Montreal Canadiens Discussion Thread
BCHabnut replied to GHT120's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
I don't want a top 10 pick next summer unless it's another team's. What do we need to do with the current team to start winning more? Reducing high danger chances against, is my first thought. Can associate coaching changes help this? A second offensive threat is my second. Can Dach stay healthy and be that 2nd threat beside newhook? -
2023/2024 season playoff discussion

Being the home team for me, I intended to cheerabout as much as I can for a non hab team. The Demko loss is a bad one. -
2023/2024 season playoff discussion
BCHabnut replied to Prime Minister Koivu's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
This sums it up for me. My hate of the bruins comes from decades (minus the last ten years) of intense competition against a worthy (dirty) foe. The hate of the leafs is based only on the media and their fan base. If I was hate cheering properly, I would be hate cheering against boston, because I truly hate many players who have played for them. Including rat boy and their president Neely. And a huge list of their alumni. I don't actually hate anyone on TO. I actually like Matthews. But I still want boston, who I have reason to hate, to beat the leafs just so the media and fans can be let down. They won't shut up, but at least I can revel in their pain. -
2023-24 Montreal Canadiens Discussion Thread

The standings don't show it, but I think this is a better team this year than last, and I expect an improvement next season. The habs won and lost a lot of one goal games this year. While there were blowouts, they were also very competitive against good teams. They are a 1 line team right now, so I don't expect it to be quick, but the top players are all on reasonable contracts, which should mean that there will be cap space to add talent or sign players who develope within the prospect pool. -
Montreal Canadiens Select Juraj Slafkovsky

His statement every year has been that if BPA stands out as better than others, you draft him, but if there isn't a clear cut BPA, you draft by need. -

GDT Game 67 Habs at Calgary 7pm Sat March 16
BCHabnut replied to Prime Minister Koivu's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
This is a tough one. I think it's great that he's showing his versatility by playing pretty good on the right side, but I would prefer that he play his strong side more while he's developing. -
GDT Game #66, Boston @ Montreal, 7pm EST, Thursday March 14, 2024
BCHabnut replied to TurdBurglar's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
Matheson is so skilled but at times his decision making annoys me. He tries that one on three junk way too often in OT. Peal back and keep possession. Also on the PK, he held and tried whiplashing around the net instead of clearing it. I don't dislike him, but those type of plays can be super costly. -

Also grew up in northern BC. It has changed a great deal. Sorry about the weather talk. I'm old. To heck with tank. Let's learn how to win. Go habs go! -

This was the strangest winter in my half century -
I was just having this conversation with someone yesterday. If Suzuki can become Bergeron, Kopitar, Barkov level, he may not get 100 points in a season ever. But if his defensive game against the other teams' best players continues to develop, maybe that skill negates 25 goals against in a season, and his 75 point season results in the same goal differential. Still elite in my view.

My cousin's son Brett Leason is a good example of this. He was always slow to develope in each league that he played, but his final year in the dub, he lit it up. Was drafted mid second round by the caps. Now he is a 4th liner in Anaheim. He may ha e a career, because he's not bad away from the puck, but if you saw his last year with the raiders, you'd mistakenly project him as the next Nash. Classic example of men against boys.
