GDT: Game 41: Canadiens @ Wild

[Habs]

wonderful coaching and execution, get this coaching staff under a long term contract quick

 

[Team_Spirit]

Poor McNiven 5 years of ECHL and AHL grind for this

 

[Stive Morgan]

McNiven has Jon Snow on his helmet? So he knows nothing?

Ah I figured it was some GoT shit

 

[ArtPeur]

McNiven has Jon Snow on his helmet? So he knows nothing?

He probably knows a whole lot after tonight

 

[sheed36]

Benn ties Armia with 1 goal each this season.

Also tied with Jeff" I've fallen completely off the earth" Petry.

 

[HabSgt]

Who is on McNiven's mask? William Wallace?

You know nothing Stive Morgan!

 

[vHAB]

Whose going to want him near the kids after this?

He's shown that he was a good coach at that level before and his experience in the NHL should help him, I just don't think he's made to be a coach at the pro level at all

 

[HuGo Sham]

I “feel otherwise” because what you’re suggesting is blatantly false. Now just about every fight in the NHL arises out of some frustration or other but you’re implying he only fights when he’s upset about the score or game, and that’s simply not true.

5 fights in the past two years as a Hab. He fought Lagesson, in the opening minutes of a game against Edmonton, Habs up 2-0, and fed him his lunch after being challenged.

Second fight was against Lucic in Calgary when Lucic had been running at him for multiple games and forced it off the draw.

Third fight was against Trouba. Pushing to tie the game, Trouba jams him into the boards hard and Anderson didn’t like it and they fought after the buzzer went. I’d rather have guys that battled to the end like that on my team than not… pure heat of the moment fight.

Fourth fight was against Olivier from Nashville when the Habs were beating them 5-0 and the Preds sent their big boys on the ice to cause some mayhem. They get into the crease and Anderson comes in and takes the toughest guy out of the pile and beats him.

Fifth fight was tonight, when he was the only guy who cared about his injured teammate enough to give the guy who did a shot. Then Hartman, a well known cheapshot artist comes flying in to protect his captain, misses with a big cross check and Anderson feeds him.

So, you can dislike the player that’s fine, but no need to malign him, when what you’re implying is simply wrong.

agreed. and he showed up in last summer's playoffs - and led this sorry bunch in goals even through his latest injury.
I just wanted to add for all his injuries and price tag, teams are desperate for a guy like this. two overpriced stiffs (in JA's mold) come to mind who have been absolute shit this year - foligno and Ritchie

 

[sheed36]

I like how Minnesota bills itself as the State of Hockey. It's a good catchphrase.

The Habs should bill themselves as the State of Mediocrity.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Surely this team will stop Mcdavid

 

[KevSkillz4]

Bergevin know it that let Danault go and acquire Paquette, Hoffman, Dvorak, Savard and the top 10 protected Habs will suck this year.

Result: Bergevin come to LA and join his guy Danault who his always like since Chicago.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Habs should apologize to the Wild organization for not giving them any type of challenge tonight.

 

[Stive Morgan]

You know nothing Stive Morgan!

Reminds me of a random vid my friend and I made in high school. Harsher in hindsight now that Trebek is dead lol

 

[McGees]

Theres no comparison, even cunneyworth wasnt this bad, not even therrien who I despise

Therrien came across to me as a real $hitty person, but at least he had a system and had the team grinding...I STILL have no idea what system Ducharme is trying to employ (and apparently neither do the players) and haven't seen them play as a team for 60 min or a streak of games at all with him. He definitely DOES NOT get the most out of the players...Junior coach or an assistant at best.

 

[HabSgt]

The Habs should bill themselves as the State of Mediocrity.

Our catchphrase needs to incorporate 'Discombobulate' in some way

 

[vHAB]

Theres no comparison, even cunneyworth wasnt this bad, not even therrien who I despise

Ducharme is SO bad that I don't even hate him, it just makes me uncomfortable every time I see him behind the bench lol the guy is so far out of his element it's ridiculous

 

[jaffy27]

Chiarot is worth what at this point, a 3rd if we're lucky?

easily a 1st......everyone looks bad on a last place team.

Danault had what last year....5 goals and was an offensive dark hole....this year on a well coached talented team he has double that in half the games.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Habs should apologize to the Wild organization for not giving them any type of challenge tonight.

And driving up Wild contracts

"You get a goal, you get a goal, everyone gets a goal"

 

[Bouboumaster]

Excellent night for the tank

 

[TomKosto]

MTL have good piece to build a team like that one day.

Suzuki, Caufield, Romanov, Guhle, the top pick 2022, are great start to become well balanced like Minnesota.

I'm not that high on Caufield and Romanov. Guhle will be a perfect 3 or 4th D imo, time will tell. We really need to draft 2 or 3 blueship prospects with game changer abilities.

 

[jaffy27]

Man we suck so hard...lol

It's a pretty bad game lol

 

[Stive Morgan]

Can we sign Bryz so our prospects don't have to suffer

 

[Whitesnake]

Which hit? It looked like he tried to feed Anderson's face with his stick but missed.

Did I miss something?

Yeah that hit. Blinsided Anderson with stick-glove-shoulder-elbow whatever...

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

We play Buffalo 2x Columbus and New Jersey in the next 7 , don't lose hope!

 

[Schooner Guy]

Nobody on him. Romanov just watching.
