GDT: Game 42: OTT @ MTL | Das Boot edition | April 17, 2021 – 4:00pm ET, TSN2, RDS, TSN5

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

The amounts of excuses you hear from Danault to Drouin, when does Fake Captain want to stand up and say or do something.

The team has been a cluster for yrs now and no one will ask him a tough question. The leeway he has been given in MTL is crazy

 

[JeffreyLFC]

well our number 3 dman is getting paid 8M$

and our number 2 goalie 10M$.

That is best description of the habs.

 

[HuGo Sham]

You’re 100% correct. He’s gone. Only a long playoff run saves him. That won’t happen. Can’t always blame the coaching all the time

he put this coach in place, he brought in some terrible vets of late and hasn't anticipated the weber's decline. There are mistake all over the ice at key positions - and his young C aren't ready to lead

 

[sandysan]

That is what you need to school both players and the media
He wont last long, then a normal anglo coach would feel like a god sent to them

The players and the media don't make that decision. The owner does.

If only we had some sort of public statement regarding the coach's ability to speak French from the owner.

It's clearly an imperfect world

 

[OldCraig71]

It must be tough to be a member of the media and have to constantly try to find ways to be complimentary of the habs because they have no choice but to do so.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

He's made 1 okay save in 10 shots = having great game

Nope, he gave up a shyte goal and saved a sure one...he's far from the biggest problem on this damn team...

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

That’s why we suck. Centres sooo sooo bad

Our centers aren't the problem.

Defense is our problem. We've got Petry and not much else. Weber's fallen off the cliff. Romanov is green. The rest are scrubs. It's terrible. It affects the goaltending and the offense.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Pacing for 40 points at age 20. Has improved his two way game. Yeah, I'm good with that. Next year he'll be where Suzuki is. 50-55 points. I'm just fine with that.

In my opinion, KK has been the best defensive Center of the team lately...

 

[Zorba]

he put this coach in place, he brought in some terrible vets of late and hasn't anticipated the weber's decline. There are mistake all over the ice at key positions - and his young C aren't ready to lead

And that’s why agree. He’s finished

 

[sampollock]

Sad day
No effort

 

[nhlfan9191]

As bad as he is, you don't bench your player leading the team in assists. Just like you don't bench your leading scorer or pts player. Like ever.

He is so bad and yet leads this team in assists. Just show how pass our passing is overall

He’s on pace for under 50 points and 4 goals this year. In no way is this bum unbenchable.

 

[sooni]

KK is not even making to Finnish Olympic roster.

 

[sandysan]

I missed most of the game, save for the first goal. I see we're doing great as usual.

I envy you, you lucky bastard

 

[Zorba]

Our centers aren't the problem.

Defense is our problem. We've got Petry and not much else. Weber's fallen off the cliff. Romanov is green. The rest are scrubs. It's terrible. It affects the goaltending and the offense.

Lol. Ok. 10 shots allowed
We’ve scored no goals. You’re right. Kk and Suzuki aren’t the problem at all.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

In my opinion, KK has been the best defensive Center of the team lately...

I think he's grown by leaps and bounds this year. Points will follow. He's never going to be a 100 point player but I think he'll eventually be a 70 point two way player. He's going to be solid.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Lol. Ok. 10 shots allowed
We’ve scored no goals. You’re right. Kk and Suzuki aren’t the problem at all.

Once again, you do not understand context. At all.

The forwards don't play in a vacuum. A good blueliner makes a huge difference in the scoring. Look at what our team was like with and without Markov in the lineup. We don't have guys on the backend who can set things up. That limits the offense and hurts the goaltending. And until we fix this we're f***ed.
