Sir_Boagalott Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Oddly, the Habs best puck moving d-man i.e. Petry - has made several of the worst passes in this game. wth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Habs have scored 3 goals this year and Drouin has two of them. Who woulda thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I thought Savard was supposed to be a defensive dman??? that rangers goal is what we can’t do. I’d trade any player on our team for Fox, or a dman like him. waste of a great save by Allen and a big goal by Drouin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Watch how often the Habs mess up with the puck between their blueline and center. ex: Suzuki messed the bed a minute ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try at least a couple of the better players on the Habs ... not even certain Suzuki, Caufield and Romanov would get the Rangers to consider moving Fox.

sbhatt Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Easy night for the Rangers. This bunch showed zero intensity. Ducharme should call a 6am practice for tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Well, last season they came out like a cannonball on fire. Let's hope it's going to be the opposite this year. If this is the kind of hockey that will be played all season, this is just bad. Team shooting % is around 3% right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I I know they wouldn’t. I’m just frustrated not having that type of talent. Different year or decade, same shit. A few elite seasons by Price, Subban, Theadore, as far as being best in their position. Another couple of good seasons by Kovolev, Koivu, Pactioretty, and a Markov, but aside from that not a lot of top end talent. You look at the rangers - Fox, Panarin, Zbinajed this year, with Lafrenierre and Kakko close to being elite. We’ve got Suzuki and Caufield, but nothing close to the Rangers.

The good old days ... doubt the CBA allows such a thing anymore ... is it too early for "the visit from the GM" to give the boys a talking-to?

I think you mean in the bottom 10 otherwise Arizona gets the better pick. But I hear you, if they are going to miss the playoffs then get a good pick. Shane Wright would be awfully sweet, nice to dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 positive reports on Evans play tonight: Jake Evans has had two golden opportunities to score in this third period. He also set one up for Joel Armia. Big chances missed here. — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) October 17, 2021 Evans une échappée et deux passes parfaites qui ont mené à de bonnes chances de marquer.

Lol when have the habs tried for a better pick...... 13-18 will be our pick once again. Just show's how much Price has been carrying this team all these years.

Trade to ARZ was for : " The better of Montreal/Carolina's 2022 1st round pick BUT if either or both are top 10 picks then Montreal will instead transfer to Arizona the worse of Montreal/Carolina's 2022 1st round pick." I hope they finish bottom 10 to keep the better of next's year 1st round pick, or that they play two rounds in the playoffs so that either pick is late but that the season was a great learning season for Montreal's young core (Caufield, Romanov, Suzuki, Evans).

Well, that’s something I think you can be optimistic about - I think we are close to a bottom 10 team. My guess is they finish between 20 and 25, so I think it will be close to being lottery, or losing the pick. I don’t see Carolina being a bottom 10 team.

The league is so well balanced because of the cap that it wouldn't take much to drop to the bottom 10 and given the uncertainty in goal it could easily happen for the Habs. I agree about Carolina, no way they are bottom 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Tough moment to be optimistic for sure, unless we’re charter members of Team Tank. 3 goals in 3 games and an offence that simply does not look reliably dangerous. Someone might say, “well, they moved the puck well on the PP.” Whooeee. The point is to score. Someone might say, “well, Evans had chances, Caufield is getting shots.” I refer them back to my previous “whooee” remark. Bad teams get scoring chances too. They just don’t get enough of them, or bury enough of them. 5 GA against BUF and a back-breaking goal surrendered immediately after the inspirational tying goal last night: the kind of goal bad teams give up, teams that find ways to lose. Right now it appears that this team can neither score nor clamp things down defensively. We can point to injuries: Price, Edmundson, Hoffman. Price is a big loss for sure, but those other two guys are the sorts of injuries a team is going to have over the course of a season. If we can’t win with two regulars out of the lineup, we’re just a bad team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
