Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to a Men's Store, 5-2 -- Marc Bergevin's Fashion Pro Tip

[Mrb1p]

Gaston Therrien taking some pot shots at Galchenyuk Dubois is a real one, unlike Galchenyuk...

 

[SquiddFX]

Lernout needs to be separated from Jaime Benn's brother. What a terrible pairing.

 

[PhysicX]

Gaston Therrien salivating at the thought of P-L Dubois. Probably has an erection while discussing his "manchette."

 

[googlymoogly]

If the plan wasn't to play Reilly 22 minutes a night, I'd put Lernout with Petry and Rielly with Benn.

Or just send Benn down to Laval.

 

[googlymoogly]

I actually like Reilly, he's better than Benn, Sclemko, Alzner but that just means that MB was horrible in building this so called better defense this past summer.

 

[Habs100]

Or just send Benn down to Laval.

Benn looking more and more like he won't be back. I don't like Alzner at 4.7 million on the bottom pair, but it's looking more and more like:

_____ Weber
Mete Petry
Reilly Juulsen
Valiev

or

Reilly Weber
Mete Petry
Alzner Juulsen
Valiev

or

____ Weber
Reilly/Mete Petry
Alzner Juulsen
Valiev
perhaps Mete AHL

Great defense to get a top 10 pick next year....

Depends on who the LHD next to Weber is

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Galchenyuk bash fest on RDS.

 

[LastWordArmy]

De la Rose put one in his own net... had a bad backcheck on Jenner's goal... a bad giveaway on Ian Cole's goal... and was the forward tasked with blocking the shot on both of Jones' goals

talk about a rough night.

 

[Censored Toad]

Galchenyuk bash fest on RDS.

well of course, he didnt get 6 goals tonight so he deserves it

 

[LastWordArmy]

Galchenyuk bash fest on RDS.

He's playing with de la Rose as his centre. Hello? What do they want?

 

[OldCraig71]

I had beer league hockey and missed this one, by all accounts it was a win. The tank rolls on.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I only caught a little bit when I got home.. but f*** Alzner and Benn are a tire fire.. those two acquisitions alone should cost the front office their jobs.

I was thinking on the drive home, that when you get a team in the bottom of the league, like the Habs were when Bergevin took over.. and you implement a five year plan, by the end of that five year plan.. your team should be unequivocally better than it was when you took over.

On the back of Carey Price and the core he inherited, Bergevin did nothing but mindlessly tinker and had some successful seasons while Lefebvre and Therrien did some really terrible things player deployment/development wise.

So in the back half of Bergevin's tenure, his record is going to look like this:
Lottery Team (9th overall)
1st round play-off loss (fired coach mid-season)
Lottery Team (Currently 5th overall)

You have to consider that firing a coach in the season is basically admitting that shit was wrong and it was a failed season. Only a play-off run would have solved that and it didn't.

I'm sorry, but if half your tenure is a gigantic failure.. and the only successful part of it was leeching off your predecessor, you should be fired.

I still can't believe, other than my acknowledgement that Molson is a blubbering idiot, that Bergevin will be here to further demolish the health and long term future of the team.

a scapegoat, as usual

There is no agenda though, right? People have been telling me that on this site for years.

 

[Runner77]

The OP is now fully up. I apologize for the delay. Thanks for your patience.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Congratz to Gally for his career high !

 

[Seb]

How close are we to the bottom? This is the only concern

 

[WeThreeKings]

We are like 7 points back from Arizona, that's gonna be super tough to catch with so little time left in the season.

Sucks. Weren't they in some winning streak lately?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yep, and that closed the gap from the 10+ it was

 

[PaulD]

Montreal played a really strong 3rd period. They really suck at shooting though & can't get shots off in the slot.

We have guys who go there: the 2 Shaws, Lehkonen, Gallagher, Carr, D'lo etc but they just to never get a shot off. It's blocked, they whiff, they miss the net, it's frustrating to watch.

DLR's **** poor D helped Columbus score 2 goals. I mean on the last one he just gives the puck away after Chucky & Lernout played a 2 on 2 way better than expected.

Our p.k. is terrible.

Lindgren is not playing well & Bernout is a disaster.

This team man...

Yep that describes one darn lousy team. New GM just needs a little time. He's only had 6 1/2 years.

Patience.

I remember that time he went on the draft day with some draft guide and read the description of the players being picked. What a legend.
