Am I the only one that likes Barron around here? lol

I love offensive D. Jumps in on the attack really well. I cringe at his D-zone play, seems to get trapped more than most. I hope he sticks around and gets better, another youngster they’re all so green.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I like him but I think he panics way too much in the D zone. He needs more work in Laval on his D.
He also needs to get stronger on his skates, hard to be effective on D when you are always on your ass.
I also don't think he is a longterm player for this team.
Just an opinion

Fair enough, respect your opinion

I like Barron.. I do think he's gonna be expendable by Mailloux and Reinbacher, so I don't expect him a long term piece of this team.

But his value will still be high when we move him.

Same here, long term I don't see him here cause of everyone we have coming up down the road, but I certainly think he is a valuable asset out there

 

[Fatbiggie]

I miss...absolutely no one from that franchise, f*** them.

Unfortunately I expect a drubbing against us, like the Panthers we really seems to get them under their skin

 

[morhilane]

I'm hoping for a win tonight again.

I might be greedy too, I want a 3rd game with a CC and/or Slaf goal as well.

I would cheer much more at these infants beating out the Leafs or Lightning at a playoff spot than I would feel emotionally fulfilled that “the right thing was done in losing all these games”. You’d have to be Vulcan or something. Why even watch…

Fact is we can’t lose if we enjoy the games; win I’m happy, lose they get a better draft choice.

That meme is as bipolar as it gets for a fan base except that there is a sign missing for the road to no man’s land.

Not that there’s anything wrong with it but if the team can keep up its winning ways somehow, I hope they don’t fall just short of a playoff spot.

You can’t really love if you’re afraid of being hurt.

Be vulnerable, Runner77.

I hear Scorpions right now. ooooooooooooh love huuuuuurts…

 

[Runner77]

They really gave that guy 20M lmao

Sens would be better if they hired jfresh to run the the team heck even Pierre McGuire would have done a better job.

The Oilers gifted $25 M to Jack Campbell on a 5-year deal, so that type of self-inflicted cap mutilation is also being practised elsewhere.

What these kind of deals say is that GMs who dole them out, are the easiest idiots to spot in a room and are prime targets for a shakedown trade. It’s the classic Count of Monte Cristo credo — let their negligence be your ally.

 

[Saundies]

I know we just beat two really good teams in regulation but I want this one bad... hate these guys and their fans.

Gonna be hard to do with Allen/Primeau most likely starting though.

AI can already draw a more accurate maple leaf on the flag than me, we're doomed.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Can the Habs do the unthinkable.....win 3 games in a row

 

[waitin425]

And if we win tonight....we have Boston and then Ottawa again.

If we get 4 out of 6 points these next three, I may start to believe there is a playoff chance.

 

[The Great Weal]

Man I can't believe this is the first time we are on a winning streak lol. Playoff team my ass.

27 of 44 games decided by one goal. That tells me they are progressing well and competitive in most games.
I don't know of anyone who says they are a playoff team but most are saying they are seeing a young team maturing and showing good progress.

To me that shows how our record is mostly luck. Not being able to win 2 games in a row for half a season is Ducharme-like.

This is stuff Ottawa, Buffalo, Anaheim and Columbus can't do in year 18 of their rebuilds.

Looks like there's one girl missing

No Man that spot is for you.

We all have differing views. I am glad we are seeing several young players developing and showing good things.

Habs are learning to play in tight games and that's a great thing, luck or not.

 

[Rapala]

Just got free tickets! Along the glass (not a huge fan of that). They’d better win tonight!

Gonna be some empties higher up...
Or swap with someone who wants that pound on the glass experience.

It's nice when you are competing for the playoffs, but as per the management we are rebuilding so it's just further putting us in no man's land. We can make fun of the Sens/Sabres/Ducks/Jackets but we haven't made the playoffs since 2017-2018 outside of the Covid rules which was extremely favourable on our behalf.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

They've won multiple times 2 games in a row this season.
What is different this time is that they won both games in regulation.

Fair enough, but that's still a very embarrassing stat. The team is better than the Ducharme-era but should still be around bottom 5.

The players in this draft from 2-15 are pretty similar. This isn't last year where you had Fantilli and Carlsson level players after the first pick. Tanking in a year like this is pretty whatever.

Barron has been fine in recent games. He didn't sit out after his worst efforts that's for sure.
