Post-Game Talk: Habs Beat Coyotes

[Naslundforever]

“C’tune ligue comique”

 

[SlafySZN]

What an horrible game from basically everyone but Monty.

And probably Armia

 

[Sam de Mtl]

When you want a defensemsn to do well, you pair him with David Savard.

Maybe we shouldn't trade that guy...

 

[LV426]

Yes!!!! VERY VERY important win, good job boys!!

Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make. Savard should not be traded.

Honestly id keep Savard over Matheson.

Ones a stabilizer, the other well, a discombobilizer

I'd trade Matheson right now, while his value is skyhigh, it's the perfect timing to cash in on an overrated player.

And let Ghule finaly play on left side.

 

[JianYang]

TB have been struggling. they'll prob give us a win

Montreal always finds a way those guys, outplayed or not.

 

[1909]

I don't mind winning. I hate winning and seeing points go to guys like Pearson and Armia.

They will be easier to trade.

Not really surprised we beat them. 13th consecutive loss by Arizona. People complain about our defensemen, but Arizona's truly suck.

Good game by Suzuki, Xhekaj & of course Montembeault.

Roy is definitely going to be a player for this team. Kid is so smart with great hands.

Montreal goes on a 4 game road trip now: Florida, TB, Nashville & Carolina.

Another losing streak coming up. Don't worry tankers !

That doesn't help! Anyone in the AHL would be an improvement over Pearson so it'll be getting paid a 7th round pick to downgrade our first from 4th overall to 7-10th. Standings are tight like a tiger.

Damn and Marty was lauding Pearson's game of late...
Were all those scouts still hanging around for post game presser?

> Dominated
> Stupid penalities
> No Powerplay
> Out shot 38-20
> ???????? Win 4-2

One of our worst game of 2024 IMO, yet we won.
Monty's win.

I don't recall seeing 2 games in a row without a pp. Is this a first ?

 

[zx81]

Did we give a star to a guy that didn't play?

That was weird. Lacroix really said Josh Brown.
Official 3rd star is Maccelli.

 

[The Real Timo]

What an horrible game from basically everyone but Monty.

And probably Armia

Suzuki was ok too. Yoel was dominating!

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

My three stars

1st star: Roy getting ice time
2nd star: Montembault for looking like a brick wall and someone who loves to win
3rd star: Russia for their ability to hold off the nuclear launch codes

Drafting from 5 to 7 or 8th I don't think is much different. Last year we took Reinbacher at 5. Picks 7 and 8 were Michkov and Leonard. I don't see much between them

Literally everytime I was going back to the game and seeing the Habs having scored goals, I was rewinding to see who scored and I was pissed seeing who scored.

Each year is different. While they’re drafting the clear BPA where one falls to them at their drafting slot, it may also happen that said BPA may not be a forward and the forward they would have liked, goes off the board one pick before.

This whole thing about winning the lottery is yet another crapshoot.

Bottom line, this could well be the last year they pick this early so let’s not kid ourselves, we can’t afford to miss out on the earliest possible pick.

Look at last year, they came so close to landing one of the top 4 picks in the draft, which would have likely been a centre. Don’t want to go through that again.

Good and Bad happening when we win. On one hand, it is good for the young guys to at least be competitive and win a few. On the other, it hurts our ability to draft the best possible player. At the end of the day though, how has that worked for sad sack franchises like the coyotes and jackets? The Wings, who always seemed to be drafting in no mans land, have risen above before those teams.

It's about hitting on the pick we have, making smart trades and free agent signings, and developing a winning culture.

I'd rather be the Wings today, and they have never drafted higher than 4th, than the Jackets, Coyotes or Ducks for that matter.

Too early in Chicago's rebuild......but I like what they are doing, obviously with last year's scorched earth campaign and this year, trending towards Mack or Demi to join Bedard.

The team is going all out to win anyway. MSL showed it again yesterday by playing his best goalie in a 4-point game.

If Hughes trades away one or two key assets, that’s one way to see them drop further in the standings.

As for the impact of winning a few, there are so little games left to the season that whatever direction the team takes should not have much fallout. Point is moot anyway, MSL wants to win and coaches that way and that’s a great indicator and example of competitiveness.

We’ll end up with whatever pick, no sense losing sleep over it. It’s just that we’re really thin on top forwards and we won’t really know how well management will fare until they’ll move some of their excess D. I think trades are where those top forwards have to come from — the draft is far more unpredictable.

Should have traded Montembeault using that logic. He would fetch good return and costs us Fantilli last year. Celebrini this year

Was not advocating the trading of Monty or anyone in particular, was just stating how much management can cause downturns. We’ve been seeing the team crater since Monahan was traded.

Now I know that habs still have a lot of games to play, BUT I hope this win is not going to end up going from 4-5 overall to 7-8th. I mean if your going to tank then TANK
