I hope the Bruins do not crush them in Guy’s night. It would be unbearable to watch
Crush, no....but I most definitely want a regulation loss in this and every other game remaining. Arizona handed us a gift by picking up a point last night...I will be beyond pissed if we blow last place by picking up a meaningless point.
-
Guy Lafleur stars in most of my earliest hockey memories...this one hurt. I was handling it well until I saw Knuckles talking about Guy on the CTV news a little while ago; when he choked up, it got me.

Good job, boys...keep on racking up those regulation L's

It definitely benefits the team if he plays well. Traded or kept. Both scenarios are better if he plays well.
It does benefit us if he regains his form, but for me, if he's out there being a useless mope again the next game or two, then I'd leave him out of the lineup the rest of the way. We don't need a bad attitude around our young d-men, and if he's playing like crap, no reason to dress him.

This will never happen, but a guy like PK Subban, who can still move the puck but is a shadow of his former glory and who might perhaps be signed to reasonable term/amount, is the KIND of dude I mean. A placeholder who can offer some useful service and shelter allowing the young D to develop properly. A d-man of that profile is who I’d be looking for. And in case you’re curious, I wouldn’t rule Subban out, if I thought he’d be coming back here with the right mindset - helping a young team grow - and was willing to take a deal that makes sense.
A friend of mine and I were talking about this a couple of days ago. I think PK would be a solid addition on a sensible 2 year deal: our powerplay needs a big shot threat from the blueline, and he's a reasonable middle/bottom pairing dman at this stage of his career. He'd be a placeholder until one of our young talents can out-compete him for the job.

That game was a lot of fun to watch.. Love the fight in these kids; they didn't fold when Tampa got up 3-1 like this team would have earlier this season. I like the effort and attitude in the current lineup...would be happy to never see Petry or Drouin out there again.

Kinda hope Petry is 'rested' for the rest of the season, doubt anyone would miss his play (dont care about his resale value).
Agree. I think he has an attitude problem.
-
Always feels good to beat those scumbags....looked good on the greasy mustache that he coughed the puck up on the winning goal.
-
I hope this is the last time we see Lagesson on the blueline. Handles the puck like a hand grenade in his own end.
-
Normally I'm all about draft position, but this is the Leafs, so 2 points be damned...I hope they find a way to win. Matthews getting absolutely obliterated would give me warm and fuzzy feelings inside too (the look of that guy just annoys me).
-
Glad Anderson is back. Drouin...not so much.

Gallagher in the penalty box for a couple Jets goals, held off the scoresheet for all but one of his last 16 games. Looking like one of the worst millstone contracts in the league. It'll be tough building a contender with $17M tied up in him and Carey over the next 4 years, unless they both magically go the Weber route.
Agreed. Gallagher produces at a 4th line clip anymore....he's terrible.

Oh, good, about 15 years too late. I never had any respect for that POS, with his double-Dutch about how he wishes he could have played in Montreal, blah blah blah, when in fact he had every opportunity to play in Montreal and was too cowardly to take up the mantle and really make a difference to the team. F**k him.
Agree 100%....I'm annoyed by the hire. Not only would I not hire Lecavalier, I wouldn't let him into the building unless he was a paying customer. F**k him.
-
A close loss where Caufield scores...perfect outcome.
-
Great...a Quebecois celebrity hire.
If that's all this management group wanted as a placeholder with no coaching experience, why not think bigger? Hire A-list Quebecois celebrity Georges St. Pierre instead!

In 37games, or 843minutes icetime, Petry has all of 6 points.
If he didnt dress again this year, would it hurt any or he be missed?
I bet even Gomez had more offense in his worst year, with much less icetime (yes he did; 11pts in 38gms).
Petry clearly quit a long time ago, and needs to go. I'd give him a stint in the pressbox until I could move him, were it not for cap considerations. -

Seems Petry is playing as bad as he can to sabotage any trade potential and to stay in Montreal
There are two ways to deal with this. One would be to pressbox him. The other would be to throw him out there for 30 minutes every night to both punish him and maximize the tank effort. Hard minutes though...zero time on the powerplay. Either way, he's a bum and I want him gone...but until that can happen, make him pay.
-
God Bless you diehards for continuing to watch, especially with a WJC game on right now.
-
It was overdue. Especially happy with them finally flushing Timmins...we have drafted so poorly that it boggles the mind that he's lasted so long.

Are you the one jinxing the Habs?
Don't blame me...I've hardly watched them the past couple of weeks. They are playing like s*!t all on their own, no jinx required.
-
Caps played earlier, so out of boredom while flicking through channels I fell on this game. I watched a bit...not even sure why, because they promptly gave up 2 terrible goals. They are the bums that I thought they would be.

All I know is that I will never hope for a loss.
Well, the playoffs are not a realistic outcome, so wins do nothing but hurt draft position. I'm completely comfortable hoping for regulation losses at this point...this team needs to draft top end talent to get competitive again.
-
I'd like to see Caufield score, and I'd like to see Ovi score 3 or 4. Other than that, a regulation loss is what serves the cause best...tank on.
-
Just tuned in to watch a few minutes...exactly what I expected. This team is heading for a lottery pick, no doubt about it.
