Post-Game Talk: Habs lose again in OT

[ItWasJustified]

Armia believing they play man-man defense all of a sudden.

 

[Habssince89]

Kotkaniemi needs a bigger role. For the sake of the team Danault needs to focus on shutdown defence.

If Anderson plays:

Tatar-Kotkaniemi-Toffoli
OR
Toffoli-Kotkaniemi-Gallagher

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Good loss. Get a point but hopefully Dom is catching on lines need to change

The best passer with the best vision is still on your 3rd line

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

+ Anderson and + Caufield would bring some much-needed skill to the lineup.

Caufield - KK - Anderson could be a pretty good line

Caufield only plays RW if im not wrong.

With Anderson Armia and Gallagher seems a bit hard for the guy on the right (Armia is not really an issue but for top 6 kinda is)

Lack of talent, we will never win in OT

OT in the regular is a gimmick. No gimmick during the playoffs.

 

[Natey]

I enjoy watching 3 on 3 ... Perhaps I'm in favor of it because it puts a little more pressure on GM's to add skill to their rosters. Not a bad thing, imo...

I would prefer watching reduced rosters than PKs in soccer as well...

But you're not taking out "PKs" in hockey so why would you in soccer?

 

[PhysicX]

I'm giving this team one more game. If they lose next game, I'm taking a break.
Three lousy wins in one full month. How f***ing pathetic.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Suzuki either has a lower body injury or he needs power skating lessons

Really slow last night

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

How did Tatar get 60 points twice? I’ve never seen a more average skating perimeter player in my life.

Maybe watch the game more, he wasn't that bad last night

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

If it's make the playoffs or else for MB, wouldn't missing out be for the greater good?

Draft is incredibly weak this year.

With our kind of luck, we miss the playoffs in this shitty division in a bad draft year only to have a resurgence in the normal division next year and finish 8th or 9th in the conference in a really great draft year.

Molson needs to learn when to fold.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Not sure Bergevin will want to wait 2 weeks before seeing Ekholm in the lineup, he's desperate to make the playoffs, his job is on the line. (Ekholm would be great, though)

If there's a trade, I think we may be looking at Canadian teams more than anything else since there wouldn't be any quarantine needed.

We need to bolster our D and the North div is the last place you'll look to bolster your D

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

There's no way he survives if we miss. Zero percent chance.

If we eek our way in he still might get canned but I suspect it would be good enough for o'l Geoff.

Btw, can anyone fire the owner?

His partners, including his two brothers, could ask him to step down. Wouldn't mind Andrew taking his place, seems smarter than Geoff or hire a true hockey president ffs

And we play the Jets on saturday again...

another nail in the coffin,another season in the toilet.someday rip van molson will wake up

 

[Milhouse40]

Habs have now 6 lost in OT/SO......that's more than any other team in the NHL.
Might need to work on the 3-0n-3 and shoutoot.
Having said that, our point put us 2 points behind Edmonton with 3 games in hand.

 

[slybel]

3 guys on the ice and you skate into each other...
0-6 now it extra time haha

J'vais prendre un 6/49!

 

[WeThreeKings]

Is there even a point to watching next game is Danault is still in the top 6 and KK still on the 3rd line.. with Webrot still paired together?

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Reverse retro needs to go!

 

[BLONG7]

I feel bad for Ducharme. The habs are missing high end talent to be able to do any damage in this league. Not much you can do.

In OT we really miss Anderson's wheels.
Entertaining back and forth, but we gotta start winning those games!

 

[nhlfan9191]

He's paid 13 mil next season and less than 10.5 in the years after that.

Majority is signing bonus anyway. We can trade him after July 1st and pay the bonus.

The problem is finding anyone who wants him given his play. The financials can be managed I think.

Is Molson really going to just eat $11 million dollars and get nothing of value in return? I somehow doubt that.

 

[PhysicX]

Is there even a point to watching next game is Danault is still in the top 6 and KK still on the 3rd line.. with Webrot still paired together?

No. I'll take a break after next game. West coast game times suck, and this team also sucks. I'll pass and see where we're at further down the road.

 

[Andy]

Still laughing about the dude who said the teams would be better if guys like Byron would bring their a-game.

yeah, Paul Byron. My god, this team has been so deprived of talent that we think Paul Byron would be a difference maker on this club.

then there was that other dude who said that MB should just trade Armia, Frolik and Mete as though these players actually have value.

we are such in denial about the lack of top end skill in the lineup.

we must be one of the few teams in the league without actual high end offensive talent, right there with NJ and Phoenix.

For the lulz?

While I’m not a fan of Weber and Chiarot together, still mind boggling why the holy F both played in OT. Thankfully not together, but if they insist on putting D out there, Petry and Romanov are my guys. Heck, I’d even put Kulak if I had to, but I’d rather put Byron as the defensively responsible person if I was playing for the shootout

I god damn hope the coaching staff realizes once and for all Chiarot, Weber and Edmundson should never (unless special teams) be on the ice in OT. NEVER. EVER. EVER. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out.

The only explanation is they are in denial of how bad Chiarot and Weber are. They have to be hoping both players snap out of it, but snap out of what? They're too f***ing slow.

Nobody has the balls to move those two lamp posts on the top d-pairing down, I'm not surprised how badly Chariot is playing but I didn't expect Weber to drop to the completely useless level.oof this is getting as ugly as last year.
