  1. Thread title says Tuesday November 6th 🤔 It’s neither November, nor the 6th. I wonder if Slafkovsky plays. He is a game time decision.
  2. Present for the rare Evans goal 🙋‍♂️ Last goal my brain remembers of his was when Scheifele drilled him after the empty netter in the playoffs. He did score in February, I just don’t remember it.
  3. Yes, I’m not frustrated as well but I was just wondering if it was normal for me to still have that competitive edge as a spectator of a team with nothing to play for. I still want them to win and found myself staring blankly at the screen for 10 seconds after the loss. I’m not delusional but while it’s certainly to a much lesser degree, I still have that inner child mentality within. Not that my mood depends on it but a win (even this season) makes me happy and a loss leaves me without seeing any saving grace.
  4. Was coming to ask if anyone still gets frustrated with losses (like myself) seeing as the forum tends to be pro-tank. Though your reaction is likely due to Slaf’s penalty, I guess you answered my question.
  5. Eller scored the Stanley Cup game winning goal for Washington in their 4-3 win over Vegas to clinch the cup. Not a bad career at all. It’s fitting that his 1000th game is versus the Habs.
  6. I won’t be able to ever agree. It may be realistic to accept that we are not a contender but it’s getting to the point where any season we aren’t people are actually happy with losses. We are fans and are supposed to support our team. How many people actually attend a Habs game hoping we will lose simply because we have no shot at the cup? The draft is not the only way to acquire top end talent. Trades exist as well. Unfortunately with a cap and a growing number of teams in the league winning the cup is going to become even more difficult. If someone feels we should be tanking this year, they will likely feel that way 16 out of 20 years. Honestly, may as well find a different sport to watch with that perspective. This doesn’t even delve into the reality that some fans who will be wishing for losses are simply wrong about the potential of our team because they are just that, fans with their own opinion. Or maybe the fact that it would be good for the development of our young players to experience regular season success or even playoff failures. Happy with a 6-5 loss? Doesn’t matter that the 6 goals were against our developing goaltender, at least it was entertaining! Going even further, this was the same perspective of some the very year we made the cup final. Those same fans of our very own team then continue to point out that it’s not a valid comparison because it was the “bubble season”. We had a great playoff team that year and players fighting for Weber and Price’s final attempt. There’s no winning that debate or changing a tanker’s perspective so as I said, to each their own.
  7. I thought the Habs played relatively well despite the score and amount of shots against. Being undisciplined was their biggest downfall.
  8. Such a weird perspective but to each their own. Drafting high has really worked out well for us in the recent past. The modern fan to their aspiring athletic children after a loss: “Don’t worry, it’s better if our team loses. It’s all part of the plan.”
  9. I’m not defending it and have very little memory of Turgeon’s impact on the Habs but he did play parts of 3 seasons with the Habs and has the 3rd highest points per game average ever amongst Canadiens players. Behind Newsy Lalonde and Guy Lafleur. I know, only 108 games. Just saying.
  10. I mentioned it the other day as well. Over the years I haven’t thought much of him but he seems to be attempting to seize the opportunity right now. I’m beginning to be a believer in him. It has nothing to do with the sample size because for me a lot of it has to with his focus and compete level. That should continue.
  11. Do I think Montembault played well last season? No. He was: 60th in the league in wins 82nd in save percentage 95th in goals against average When we had terrible seasons with Price, he would still hover around the top 30 in those categories at least. No, I am not comparing Montembault to Price. Yes, I understand that it is a team sport and do not blame Montembault for our results last year. Yes, some of the goalies ahead of Montembault on the stats I listed played a minimal amount of games therefore skewing Montembaults standing in those categories. Yes, I’ve seen Montembault have great games. No, I don’t think he has ever played very well over an entire season, in general.
