tomh009 Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 The Penguins do have an even worse start to the season than the Habs, so maybe there is some hope that our new #13 will win the game for the visiting team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 As strange as it is to say on Nov 2, this is a big game. MSL pulled out one of the classic coaching hammers. If the team fails to respond - or, like last game, plays well enough for 40 minutes then collapses - it will be a pretty clear statement that this team does not have the capacity to right the ship. An admission that we just suck and will continue to suck for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 I agree, I think it is a big game. Need a bounce back effort. I also like seeing Pittsburgh lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-M-O it is not a must-win game, but they must have the proverbial "played well for 60 minutes" game ... I say "proverbial" because rarely does a team actually play well for every one of the full 3600 seconds of a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 I'd like to see a defensively responsible game. Even if it results in a lower score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to right the ship and help ourselves by not giving even a loser point to the pens- make sure that they finish as low as possible so we get a high second rounder!

True. It would be great if we didn’t make mistakes. Each player made an effort. Nobody gets hurt. Caufield gets a goal. Hutson gets a Gordie Howe hat trick. Somebody to stop some pucks. We don’t give up two early or give up two late. My mother in law doesn’t swing by for a visit. Anderson drives the net. I don’t wake up to pee three times in the night. But I just want a win. Something to go to bed happy with. The wife hates it when I say I’m not in the mood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 Mattheson coughed the puck up there...ultimately Crosby made us pay. As Galley noted, the Habs are battling tonight. They need to show the resilience to keep ploughing forward despite that first goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 I’m not sure Anderson has that offensive flair required to play on the first line. He is excelling in a defensive role so leave him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero reason to have him the top two lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
