Dave built himself a 13 year, 445-game NHL/WHA career ... "beating" Ken in that regard ... if not in performance and accomplishments.

Will agree with you on that. I also want to Lose to the panthers. Try and slide down to 4 if we can. Than hope that the panthers lose the rest of their games.

I would love to see them slide to 4 but Anaheim is 8 points behind so I think unrealistic with 9 games to go.  Beating Florida would be a killer loss for them.  Would love 2 lottery picks.

Yeah, I don't think Montreal has a chance to go any further down.  Anaheim just isn't any good.

 

The first couple of minutes were good for the Habs but they didn't have it much after that.

Its incredibly unlikely that the Habs will: a) lose all their remaining games; and b) the teams under the Habs will win 4 or 5 of their last 9 games to be able to catch the Habs.

I certainly don't want to see them lose all of their remaining games.  I view that as wishing to see them be bottom dwellers for years.  I want to see the youngsters do really well in these last games.  That will show us if the rebuild is on track, or better yet fast tracked.  It seems like they are way better than they should be in year 2 of a rebuild.  

 

I hate wishing for the Habs to lose, but it would be good for them to lose tonight and the Sens win.  i.e. it would totally suck if Buffalo or the Sens get Bedard.  I want both of those teams out of the bottom 11.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ... you truly can't be serious that 8 losses would condemn them to years of being one of the worst teams in the league ... and the youngsters can do well while the Habs lose

Who would’ve predicted THAT for a shootout lineup? I think Allen may have been the next shooter.

  I think St. Louis was trying to lose the shoot out or at least didn't care if we did.

I was surprised by the shooters too and I wondered if Marty might be trying to lose.  However, if that was the case then he would have went with Drouin, Penzetta and Kovacevic as the 1st 3 shooters.

Honestly, I don't think he was trying to lose. He was just having fun with it, didn't care, and letting guys have fun. No pressure, just go out there and do your thing.

I watched from the 3rd on and the win was good to see

 

I believe that the Habs screeed any chances to finish last months ago and with a few games left they are just “letting the horses run wild”

 

It was good to see the 4th line do well, but I do not understand why they are overplaying certain players like Matheson. H Eid playing great, but that is not a reason to risk injury

Many of us are pointing out Marty’s overuse of players, especially players that are playing injured. 
 

It’s downright dumb and clearly a weak spot for St. Louis. 
 

Why push players in meaningless games?! It’s foolish

It certainly is odd.  I'm wondering if St. Louis is trying to get a feel of how much is too much.  In other words, if he plays Matheson 25-28 minutes on average over a six-week stretch, what are the ramifications?  How much does his effectiveness dwindle?  Better to find that out now than in more meaningful games.  That's a guess on what they might be trying to learn.
