Post-Game Talk: Exhale (Habs win, losing streak ends)

[sandysan]

How about the game ? They WON !!!!!!!!! It is a first step to a better record in December. Played better defensively as a team.

It would be hard to play worse

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I'd do that. But not sure the Flyers would.

Who from our prospect pool do you consider a B+?

Problem is Flyers have a ton of their own prospects. They'd probably want someone who can play in their lineup right away. But we don't have a lot of NHL depth upfront. We lose 2 guys and all of the sudden Cousins is a top 6 forward.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

We?! What do you mean we? I was sprawled on my couch munching on snacks and sipping on heavenly libations.

I'm on their payroll... I'm the Cap space.

So yes, we.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Peca >>>>>>>>> Hudon

His speed is far more helpful.

 

[Max2]

Okay, I thought about it. What happens now?

.......keep thinking

 

[Censored Toad]

Leafs lose we win... all is right in habs land

EXTEND THE BINNN MAN!!!!
Winning feels good mang

 

[Gravity]

Gutsy win after a dominating performance. Onto Colorado!

 

[The Real Timo]

If they win every 9th game nobody can reproach them not trying to make the playoffs.

I guess Bergevin is all good now. Sigh...

 

[angusyoung]

Id just like to let you guys know that Matthew Peca was the answer in the room

 

[Archijerej]

All in all we've played a very good game. But again, we've come a one Jordan Eberle's shot away from blowing this one away again. Is it really necessary to forecheck and pinch so aggressively with a 3-0 lead in the third period?

 

[The Real Timo]

Watch how tomorrow there will not be any calls for Bergevin to get canned. Everyone will be good in Molson's land again. Bleah...

 

[The Real Timo]

So I guess in the end it was Kinkaid afterall... who knew (Marc Bergevin did, that's who)

 

[jaffy27]

Kinkaid didn’t play.......who knew

 

[peate]

Oh look, we win and there’s 6 pages.......

Is that good or bad? I'm not sure anymore.

 

[The Real Timo]

I think this is a beginning of a mighty 2 game point streak. Habs need moar Peca, less Hudon and even less Kinkaid. Marc Bergevin did it again. That's depp!!!

There’s nothing to talk about. They won. So what? What do you want to discus? How this win will mean absolutely nothing in the spring? What players played an exciting game? They were better off losing a few more so some heads can finally start rolling.

I definitely wanted us to lose so heads will roll.

But i found last night's game, and our pre-losing streak beginning of the season interesting. They show that Bergevin's plan has some potential, but he's just not able to make it fully happen. I mean, as I've posted many times, if only he had signed a couple of Brassard, Nyquist, Dzingle, MoJo, Perron, Duclair, we'd have much better offensive depth in general, and in particular be much better able to deal with the Drouin and Byron losses. But his over reliance on grinders caused him to pass on these players. And that makes all the difference.

Plus I knew if we got Skinner for a 2nd, if he did well and asked for too much money we could flip him for an LD. Now we really don't have the assets to get one. Another big missed opportunity.

 

[26Mats]

Romanov, Brook, Fleury, maybe Ylonen

If the Flyers trade Ghost for a 2nd and a prospect, they're going to want a prospect that will be good in the future. Otherwise why do the deal? So we have to lose a future top 4 D or get into this game of trying to find a prospect we're low on and they're high on. Unlikely.

But I think they're looking to get a roster player, in particular a top 6 forward for Ghost.

 

[Ozmodiar]

9th in the conference, baby!

/ there’s no plan

 

[jaffy27]

9th in the conference, baby!

/ there’s no plan

But if we win one more, then we 2nd in the division.....does this mean Toronto, Buffalo and Florida also have no plan??

Explains why your pissed

sooooooo........

 

[Milhouse40]

If we had one more win we would be….14th in the NHL
But we didn't get one more wins…..so we're 19th in the NHL
If Tampa, NYR and Nashville win their games in hand, then we will 22nd in the league.

I guess this call for a celebration.

 

[ludwig]

Winning is the best

 

[Milhouse40]

Is it weird that Hudon played 8 games this season….8 straight loss.
Take him out of the line-up = Win.

He must not feel really good right now and i think it's the last time we saw Hudon in Montreal.

You lied. You said for a moment.
