Post-Game Talk: Habs fight hard, but lose to Florida and Chiarot

[Adam Michaels]

Classy by MSL, who after his presser, went to Arpon to offer his condolences for the passing of his father.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Don t really like a statement like that when you lose and are 4 3 3 over the last 10.

 

[Runner77]

Pretty impressive how they made a one-goal game against one of the leagues best teams.

MSL is a class act.

Wideman is dogshit

When's Barron getting in!

Why?

 

[Runner77]

MSL saying how Romanov's game has improved since he's been named head coach.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Why?

Because you should not be satisfied with defeat. You can t contend when you re losing, you show you can contend by winning games

 

[Adam Michaels]

To be fair, Romanov's game has taken a big step forward even before MSL. He's been one of the bright spots of the year so far under DD.

MSL has given him even more so he's taken an even bigger step since.

Half of the lineup is AHLers. Players know that. This is a very sub par lineup playing the top team in the league.
Guys feel good now about themselves. They are playing around .500 lately and the Bell Centre is fun again!
Guys know they will finish bottom-3.
Plus they are seeing the kids grow even more.
They also probably like the way the organisation is going right now.

I mean, let's not forget that the skill level on this team is still very low. Only difference is now they're being coached and supported by someone who knows what he's doing and how to get the most out of them. The games are always close and they’re playing inspired hockey despite their limitations, they have every right to be proud imo.

No one cares about the record at this point, the important thing is that they're competing hard every night. The culture change is apparent.

TOI:

Suzuki - 23:26
Caufield - 20:02
R. Pitlick - 21:04
Evans - 15:02
Romanov - 22:52
Pezzetta - 5:40 (and still had the most hits tonight with 6)

I agree and I am happy for them as is any Habs fan, just saying you don t say that if you don t win IMO. Just a small thing, I just find it weird.

That’s how you build a young nucleus. Kids will make mistake. But they are the heart and soul of what will be this team over the next decade, adding on good prospects. Play them! Kudos to the coach.

It's fine to claim the moral victory when you are dead last in the league, mostly because you don't want the team's atmosphere to become a toxic cesspool of despair.

but it's true

 

[dcyhabs]

Wideman is dogshit
Dauphin is dogshit

I didn't notice Dauphin but I noticed Wideman make some nice plays. I didn't see the whole game, but I was more impressed by Wideman in this game than in many others. Maybe I just saw his high points.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Pretty good game overall, Panthers just too quick and talented.

It's too bad they didn't fire Burrows to fix the PP yet.

You know what... his position is hard to fill but is very needed to fill the potential like you say

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Would be great if Jake Allen could stop playing like Patrick Roy
No need of Drouin or Gallagher when Anderson plays like this.
That was kinda pathetic of Anderson tonight , 0 effort 5sec behind the play.

He is isnt he. romo is a #1 defensman shhhhhh

We're not an elite team.

But we're going in the right direction and playing well for what we have.

Still we need to add to this core if we're going to not just "be in the game", yet clearly deserve to lose the game.

There should be asome good young pieces on the way, but not enough I don't think, especially at forward. We've got to add young pieces, and use our vets in trades, to do so.

Literally made no sense.

Remember when we had players not coming to the rink for 3 weeks because they cut a toe nail too short? Excuses to not come and play because no one felt good about their game and their management was the douchebag version of Dumb and Dumber?

Let them think they are hot shit and have fun, they will actually build a future for themselves this way.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Imagine being able to get Laurent Dauphin to play 2c...

Gorton a genius apparently.

I was at the game and tried to start a "ref, you suck" chant but it didn't work

Clearly his fault
