I cannot belive how shit Petry has been lately. He's reverting back to two years ago.
Julien has also reverted back in a sense, his "new" coaching style has changed; he now has this team funneling every puck to the net, whether its a quality chance or not. The Habs crash the net on every shot, so it ends up leading to odd man breaks the other way. It's making Price look like a bad goalie.
Reilly and Kulak are trash. They're ahl defenseman, that are creating havok, for this team defensively.
This team probably will bounce back, but this brutal streak will come back around again.
Bergevin has built a "hay house" and it's get damn windy out

Shouldn't have parted with Deslauriers...he was fine for 4th line.
Someone needs to go after him. Especially with history of Krieder and this team
-
Krieder is such a dirt bag. Tatar gets a head shot and no one does anything. So soft man, especially with Weber and Chiarot out there. Joke
-
Tkachuk just brings so much more to his game. The "intangibles".
I agree with Chicoutimi, I think Kotkaniemi being a 50-55 point centre, is where he maxes out. Just my opinion though, I really hope he proves me wrong

Many were hard on him here but I always wanted him. That being said, I also wanted Zadina and he has not done much. Let’s not be too hard on Kotkaniemi though. First off, he will be a fine player and secondly it wasn’t until we drafted him that our center depth began to look promising.
Still so young. Hard to peg anyone as this point, but Tkachuk is a beast and he can also bury. Kotkaniemi will never have that edge to his game
-
Watching this game makes me think Tkachuk would have been the better choice over Kotkaniemi. Tkachuk is a gamer and he puts up points

TB has three games in hand, though. Might be premature to panic there, although I definitely think the 3-year extension to Cooper was a mistake they'll live to regret.
I'm just saying, in the not too distant future, I think he'll be one to go

Let's hope.
I like Nylander a lot, but I was surprised they didn't trade him over the whole contract imbroglio. Depending on how you formulated the return, that could have eased up the cap situation quite a bit...had they gotten back 1-2 near-ready prospects they could have high-ceiling, low-cost, Suzuki-style depth on the team right now. There is also one school of thought - I'm not quite sold on it myself - which says that the Leafs don't have enough sandpaper. The team is "out of balance" in relying too much on skill. I can see this as a criticism of the team in the playoffs, but not the regular season; so to my mind this criticism reflects the default position of a certain kind of old-school Canadian hockey "mind" (i.e., if a team is struggling, it's because it's not physically tough enough).
I wonder who the next firing will be? Hearing a lot about Nashville.

I hated the domi play at even strength. He does not drive the net when hes playing at wing the way he does when he is at centre. Tsn even showed the plays from a week ago where hes going to the net and last night where he pulls up with a wrist shot.
I love the guy, but he doesn't look like the same player as last year.
I'd much rather see him at C too.
-
Alzner 1 assist in 17 games.. Solid
-
"Domi, who scored 28 goals last season and led the Canadiens with 72 points, failed to score a goal for the eighth straight game and has only one in the last 16 games and four for the season, putting him on pace for 15 this year" .
-
I highly doubt Carolina wants anything to do with the Habs. It may be out of sheer arrogance by Dundon, but I don't see them being a trade partner

I'm betting that Byron is done. Harsh to say it, but he's 30 and always relied on one attribute: speed. Knee surgery? Forget it.
A guy like Suzuki was always going to crowd him out of the lineup anyway, so in the big picture the club will be fine.
The injury to Drouin is more worrisome when it comes to the team's prospects for immediate success. The guy was on a 78-point pace and seemed to really be buying what the coaches are selling. Given his erratic past, can he be trusted to pick up where he left off when he returns? Or will we be saying things like, "that big injury really set him back," "he's struggled to find his confidence since returning," etc.? My guess is that we will. That always seems to be what happens with guys like him. Hope I'm wrong.
You might be correct on both fronts
8 weeks, yikes. Does Bergevin make a move?
-
Never a fan of the Kinkaid signing. I'm pretty sure his numbers were similar to Niemi's last season.
I would much rather have seen Brian Elliott signed.

Being that Byron's best asset is his speed, and he's already looked like he lost a step this season, having knee surgery is just a concerning.
This is the Calgary Flames, Byron. The guy is constantly hurt and when he's not, he plays like a barely NHL capable forward.
Its weird, I never pegged him as a guy that would lose determination after getting paid, but he 100% did. He doesn't have that chip on his shoulder anymore
-
I was just saying Byron needs to get tighter on Ovi, sure enough, he buries

Petry should be his permanent partner
If Bergevin somehow lands a LD, this D Corp starts to actually look semi- decent

The pp is top 10 in the nhl right now. They seem to have figured it out even without that shot. I dont want a pp specialist who would sit in the same spot weber already occupies and doesnt help us 5v5. Save the powder for ld
Second PP.
He's not coming here anyways. LD needs to be priority

Kovalchuk shoots right handed.
I worded that stupidly. I meant left side shooter(forward), on the power play, but I guess a lefty would make more sense; being that Weber loads up on the left side, during the power play.
-
He's so slow these days, but this team's needs a left handed shooter on the PP. He can still bring the heat with his one timer

With his simply gorgeous skating ability, its my guess that once he's really confident in the defensive aspect , he'll gradually start to use that deep skill offensively and probably do quite to very well at it. That's my hunch anyway.
He had some huge back checks last game too. The best is yet to come

Poehling with 4:40 of ice time.
Cousins and Byron have been so shit

Price looking sharp. Not sure if Weber's illness is leading to these tripping penalties, but Petry and Fleury might need to step up their minutes tonight.
Fleury is lost a lot in his own end. Highly unlikely his minutes get up'd

Exactly.
The shoot from everywhere mentality, doesn't work. It was the same thing a couple years ago, and everyone said "well look at the shots, we're obviously out playing other teams", that's not the case.
These defensive zone lapses and odd man rushes are also exactly like 2 years ago. It's almost a spitting image, as to what was happening when this team completely shit the bed.
As I said, the Habs probably will shake this slump, but it will keep arising. The defense is so ####ing awful
