The Positivity Thread...

[badbrains]

It's a beautiful day. Gonna spend it outside, do some winter prep around the house maybe change the oil on a vehicle and go for a stroll with the fam. All positives.

I'm also positive this edition of the team will miss the playoffs and we start next year with new management. Also positives.

There's a lot of great players and teams in this league to watch. There's a few former Habs players having good starts to follow. Positives.

Unfortunately, folks, this won't be a positive season for us as a whole but Mete is one to watch. Drouin, too. The others? I'll save that for another thread.

 

[TheBlindFan]

Yep!
That's about right!

Image that... 6 games on 82.... Alot of people are that are saying reg record is useless! Lol

 

[TheBlindFan]

BTW, I'm big time pissed off! Can they start scoring? Can Price start stop the puck?

Galchy LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Patch is doing everything wrong!

But for the doom squad:

We corsi winning!

MT DD gone don't make us better!

 

[sergejean]

We're still in the race to finish dead last and increase our odds of picking first overall!

Something positive would be the team being so screwed up that a retool isn’t even in the cards. Proper rebuild. Maybe we’ll actually learn from teams that have had success in the last decade.

I f***ing love Victor Mete. Sure Sergachev might get more points, but Mete is smarter and is facing INCREDIBLY hard competition. Pretty tough task for him, and he has been incredible.

 

[BlackStar]

The last time we were this bad, we made the necessary moves to improve this team. We traded...oh wait...

The last time before that we were this bad we made the necessary moves to improve this team. We hired...oh wait...

Nevermind.

 

[Bloumeister]

I'm positive this current Habs incarnation sucks.

He truly has been. Specially on a night like this where pretty much everyone is getting exposed, he's out there still holding his own and even putting the rest of the D to shame.

I feel that if this isn't the bottom, it's damn close. Things should start to get better, or at least our outlook should. Let's hope that Toronto paved a path for us. 3 years ago things were awful for them.

Win or lose, the Habs don't affect my personal life. I've got a happy and healthy family and really that's all that matters.

I've been so incredible busy (and will be for some time) I just don't have the time or energy to be that upset, really. So that's positive, I guess. This is supposed to be my escape, though. Would be nice to be buoyed by a win here or there and the hope that comes with a playoff birth. But not this season it seems.

It's 'berth' ... but it does remind me of this Bergevin gem from March, when he justified his moves at the trade deadline:

Please keep Chucky and Drouin together for 20+ games at least and let them develop some complicity. If they do that + skilled little Mete I'll be a little more optimistic. Just for ONCE cater to the younger players and give them a pass in a sucky season. Getting tired of supposed defensive prowess, two way play and character slogans.

There's already quite enough complicity and duplicity. I'll settle for chemistry.

Count the Habs' goals against, you'll fall asleep in no time

Ha-ha... nice catch! And talk about a Freudian slip! I mean, given the labor pains it's going to take to get back to the playoffs, "birth" is far more accurate. Maybe Freud wasn't such a crackpot after all!

Season heading for a Bergevin miscarriage... which, given Freud's Oedipus complex, might be a good thing

This season has been morbidly interesting. Its a major car wreck, and I can't take my eyes off of it. The obvious positive is that we are one step closer to a much needed meaningful draft pick. I wish the lottery could happen today in case the habs start a charge up toward the middle of the standings.

 

[Lshap]

It is sunny and warm here in Hong Kong! Beach time tomorrow!

Man, I have to give you credit. I've always wondered how you keep your passion from so far away.

(now I'm just wondering why)

Being one of the older guys here makes it easier to watch the crash-and-burn, since I've seen all versions of great to terrible over the decades. The toughest part is consoling Mrs. Lshap, who became a fan only a few years ago and hasn't learned how to pace herself. Lots of wailing and swearing at my house, and it's mostly her. I'm the cool one. I just subtly leave the room to do dishes or laundry, or just to bang my head against a wall.

Hope it's Sai Kung. Othrerwise enjoy dissolving in the filth.

Total goals allowed on the California trip would rank a very admirable 2nd place in the "total points allowed standings" of the National Football League. Carey Price has definitely been worth his contract based on that stat alone.

 

[GoHabsGo76]

The only positive to hang our hats on right now is that this disaster SHOULD get MB fired and SHOULD bring big changes to the club. I would like to see big changes = tanking, but I am not counting on it

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I positively hate this team!
