Keeping Kotkaniemi rested for him to dominate the third!

Dom is just too far ahead for us mortal fans. 1000IQ

What's infuriating is they don't even tried something new. The team is losing games after games and they repeat the same thing. Why not tried something bold like Suzuki with Caufield

It made sense up until this point...you should have stopped typing there.

 

[HotPie]

KK has been awful lately but less icetime than Staal?

I haven't said anything negative about Ducharme but that's just Bergevin level bad.

 

[Gravity]

I feel my passion for this franchise slowly withering away due to extended Bergevin/Ducharme exposure.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Seriously name the players who improved under Ducharme?

Erik Staal

 

[Redux91]

5 stages of grief

denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance-

I am now truly in the acceptance stage of seeing this garbage franchise for what it is.

I think a LOT of us are at the acceptance phase lol..

Mine's there

These players wearing the red jersey realize they’re facing Koskinen and not Hasek in his prime right?

 

[vHAB]

I think were gonna come back and win tonight to make us feel warm and fuzzy and give us hope going into the playoffs, but then lose next game 5-1

 

[HuGo Sham]

this is a f***ing gong show. Covid aside, bargain bin changes coaches mid stream and team looks confused for 30 games now. The d is built for the 90's, his deadline acquisitions were on terrible teams and have been terrible here. His two cornerstones, still in a fictitious stanley cup window are always injured, he traded an elite left D we've needed for years for a winger who's out with depression caused by media pressure..what have i missed?

 

[Hins77]

Caufield is playing well even playing with staal.. his feet are always in movement. Try something at least... thats easy to notice who perform well and who don’t... evans lines are good. Perry try. ... tatar. Garbage please.

 

[salbutera]

Erik Staal

Jon Merrill

 

[Gjman2019]

Koskinen is net..Habs should squeeze out a point here.

The will clinch and Bergevin's extension will be signed....For better or worse that's the reality.

 

[Gravity]

I think a LOT of us are at the acceptance phase lol..

I'm still stuck at bargaining lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

What really has Tippett done except play McDavid for 25 minutes a game and 2 minutes on every PP, like give me a break.

 

[Rapala]

I think a LOT of us are at the acceptance phase lol..

I was going to reply but they closed the thread. Unfortunately our Upper Management never got beyond the 3rd stage.

Eric Staal will surely break out of his funk after his 52 bad games. Those aren't the player he is; just bad luck. You'll see.

 

[willzyix]

Bergie is an idiot, but I kind of almost feel bad for him this season. He finally has a good offseason and acquires some nice pieces and Weber regresses and gets hurt, Price regresses and gets hurt, KK regresses, Drouin quits on the team...

We're not good, but the actual potential of the team is better than what's being shown, much like 2009. That team also imploded but wasn't necessarily built badly.

Still, one decent offseason doesn't excuse the past 8 years so GTFO Bergie.

 

[Hins77]

Kk should play more minutes than Staal. Even if im really not sold about his celling. No way staal should play more minutes than KK

 

[Loner]

The team is built around the concept of playing not to lose, and the coach is executing this perfectly.

I'd only put 'media pressure' in quotes because it was virtually non existent.

 

[OldCraig71]

Hell, I haven't cared about this team in years, it's the GDT's and the laughs that all of you provide that is much more entertaining than anything habs. I do believe that if MB survives this year and is still GM that many of us will be done.
