The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Hahaha, yes, the GDT these days have fallen on hard times! I suppose the fact that the Habs aren’t really playing for anything tends to have that effect after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Go Guhle Go! "Guhle’s pairing with Johnathan Kovacevic played a pure shutdown role over the weekend. Against the Boston Bruins, David Pastrnak’s most frequent opponent at five-on-five was Guhle at 9:34, and over those minutes, the Canadiens outscored the Bruins 1-0, outshot the Bruins 6-4, had an 11-10 edge in shot attempts and controlled 64.01 percent of the expected goals."

GHT120 Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 Some off-ice tidbits: 3. Like father, like son... Canadiens players will be reunited with their fathers on Thursday at the Bell Centre, as it’s the team’s 2023 Dads Trip. For the occasion, Habs players’ fathers will be in the crowd to cheer on their sons. The biannual tradition will then continue on the road, with the paternal units accompanying the team to Boston to see their sons play the Bruins at TD Garden. Last year, the players’ moms traveled with the Club to Washington for the 2022 Moms’ Trip. 4. Rock on! The Molson Concert Series is back this year, with another instalment on Thursday. Arrive early to get into the game and enjoy a pregame show from Rock the King with Martin Fontaine and the Porn Flakes starting at 5:30 p.m. in Canadiens Plaza. Fans at home can listen in on the Canadiens’ official Twitch account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurdBurglar Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Is it just me or in the few starts Primeau has started, there's signs of a decent goalie there, much more than last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good game against Detroit, and so far good tonight, even with the SHG. Glimmers of hope but it's not really enough yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Gallagher back to looking like a total bum tonight: -2, and cost us a point with the idiotic double minor late in the game. He should watch the Boston game from the pressbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I thought the Habs played relatively well despite the score and amount of shots against. Being undisciplined was their biggest downfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 We are too good to tank. even without Dach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 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.

brindavis Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 We are a classic developing young team. Lots of talent, stay in games, but ultimately don't have the experience to see games or difficult periods of games out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
