Habs 2-6 without Monahan. A .500 team with him. Shows his importance. Same thing happened last season when he went down to injury.
Post-Game Talk: Habs' joy crushed in Joysey!
- Thread starter Runner77
- Start date
Amusingly, the vets with the 'A' since this season started have been Matheson and Gallagher...
Eesh! Suzuki with Gallagher and Matheson as assistants is a lot like St.Louis with Letowski and Burrows as his assistants. Brutal.

Bringing him back next year is a no-brainer - but only at the right term and AAV.

Your standards must be very high if you've only been entertained twice all season. There have been a lot of games this year where even when we lost. There we aspects of the games that were enjoyable to watch.
Lol yeah okay my timing is off. But before this 5 game losing streak, we were almost a .500 team. Does that make us a Stanley Cup contender? Nope, does it make us a playoff shoe in? Nope, but it does make us a competitive team.
There has been some seriously boring hockey this season. Flashes of Slavkovsy and Suzuki and the odd Xhekaj moment have been about my only reasons to watch and all three of those elements have had thei iffy moments.

If you rebuild, they will come.

Tired with the old we deserved better. Just a loser empty talk. You deserve better when you actually do better. Its as if the game of hockey is who deserve more than the other. It's not.
Even if I think that I'm a good guy and not bad looking so I deserve Beyonce....I'm not going to have her......

Or should never have acquired Monahan, if he costs us Celebrini.

That's kind of what you have to expect. At first, I hated the idea of a rebuild, because personally I hate losing at anything. Once I got my head around it, I've started to enjoy the games a lot more. Seeing things like you mentioned. Slafkovsky's improvement, Monty slowly becoming a true #1 goalie right before our eyes. Suzuki proving that he was definitely the right choice to lead our team. Struble coming out of nowhere (atleast for me) and becoming a stabilizer to our defense. Roy showing flashes of being a true top 6 player.
That is what I mean about being entertained. It may not be the end results (Wins), but I'm still finding ways to keep myself positive and interested in the team. Plus win or lose, we're staying in most games. Even today against the Devils. On paper, they should blow us out. We kept it close, but in the end. We just don't have the firepower to match them. It didn't help that Anderson couldn't hit water if he fell out of a f***ing boat.

For the record, I think you can do better than Beyonce.
Yes! He was a stabling force.
Who do they rely on next year? Surely it can’t be a sell off tank year again, can it?

Sadly with us having such a young team. That's the easiest way for the players to kind of be on the same page. Hell it's the same style we teach my daughter's team. Which is why I'm hoping that MSL will implement a proper system for next season.
I should have mentioned Struble, Roy and Monty too! Good points.
I just want to see good hockey. Or at least physical hockey. If we win, cool, but if we don't that's fine too as we are a rebuilding team. Just don't put me to sleep! Lol

Yeah and I probably missed a few other players that have impressed me.
We're getting there. Yes me too, that's one area that I've been a little disappointed in. Especially with our forwards. I know they're not big overall, but that doesn't mean they can't be a bit more physical. That's the way I look at it. If we win great, and if we lose that's good too. I just want to see improvements from game to game. Lol sadly this year I've fallen asleep a couple of times during games.
Our Palindrome line (71 11 17) would be a decent 4th line at under 7M combined. Instead they are the 3rd line at 13.7M. Dammit I'm mad.
At least they scored tonight.

Gross.
Or could that bantam hockey is the best we can aspire from MSL. I don't have any hope for him or his buddies.

A lot depends if Dach goes down again. Odds are he willYes! He was a stabling force.

If he goes down again… it’s over for the season unless you bring in someone to replace his production and impact/potential

Lol definitely possible. But since MSL played for some talented coaches. I'd guess that he picked up on some systems more complicated than he's using now.
IF he goes down again. I think it's time to take him out behind the woodshed.

ROY DU NORD!!!
Missed this one. Actually seems like I didn't miss anything. The schedule this year has been by far the worst I've ever seen since I started watching the games. It used to be Tuesday-thursday-saturday and I don't remember having seen two consecutive weeks like that this year.
As far as the Habs, I don't mind rebuilding but I don't think I can tolerate 2 more years of that. It's more likely I'll drift out of hockey altogether.
