Post-Game Talk: Habs lose game #2 to Calgary but will win on Monday

[Runner77]

Jeff Petry was the worst player on the ice tonight...I usually give Petry a pass for a lot of his defensive failings because of the offense he provides but he was the absolute drizzling shytes tonight...14:54 of Eric Staal was about 14:53.99999 too many...transition game consisted of the same thing it always does; either stretch pass to nowhere or dump da puck, chase da puck, dump da puck, chase da puck...no one on this team can complete a 5 foot pass anymore...Tuna benched cuz the team was ass and he was today's fall guy...just another wonderous adventure in Bargain Bin Bonanza...

Conclusion: Bergevin GTF...

With Tatar potentially out maybe Caufield plays Monday.

Maybe Drouin will be back and we can see the Drouin-Staal-Caufield line.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Nah. He's so young he's just gonna come in and have fun. There's like ten games left. Let him play.

They better give him icetime and not plug him in for 9min a game with 15sec of powerlpay.

Eric Staal on the powerplay makes me wanna punch something.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

But we are full of depth.

Full of something.

Still can't get over that Staal had a corsi rating of 12 the other night.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Canucks are 10 points back, but now have 6 games in hand. They have a 1-0 lead over Sens.

Meanwhile, Montreal has Calgary Monday, Toronto Wednesday, Winnipeg Friday and Ottawa Saturday. I don't see next week being any different.

The team was actually doing well once we made the coaching change. Price was 7-3-2 before getting hurt and Allen was 1-1-3. Price and Gallagher went down in the same game and we've been 3-8-0 since with one loss each to Primeau and Price (who came back for one game.)

Team has been so inconsistent and can't handle injuries. And there's just no runway on the backend either. The D is atrocious.

Outside of a few games, Allen has been outstanding down the stretch, and Primeau was good in the one start he got. Bergevin can’t hide behind goaltending. He can however, try and hide behind the guy he cries literal tiers over in Gallagher. And if we do miss and he isn’t fired, I fully expect them to use Gallagher the same way they used Price in 2016 to excuse the pitiful performance we’ve seen. That and something about the Covid outbreak and the schedule. These guys are the masters of trying to make suckers out of the fanbase.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Anybody else just utterly frustrated at the reality that even with all the addition of this “depth” we are still miles from being anything remotely resembling a contending team....?

 

[Zorba]

Molson shoulda made Bergevin coach this mess

 

[Scaryprice]

Play staal more.

 

[expy]

RDS finally questioned why Allen didn’t play.

 

[Whitesnake]

Honestly though, there's some truth to it.

I'm at the head of the line for firing MB but since losing Price and Gallagher the team has fallen off a cliff.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

They better give him icetime and not plug him in for 9min a game with 15sec of powerlpay.

Eric Staal on the powerplay makes me wanna punch something.

I would think they'd give him all the PP he can handle.

Problem is that Staal might be his centerman...

 

[Scaryprice]

Staal is amazing

Me too...Eric Staal and Ducharme...

 

[Runner77]

Byron was out with a lower-body injury

Was weird to see Perry wear an A, a guy who only joined the team this past off season and who doesn't own a contract for the next.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Ducharme is just so.... useless lol. Every time I watch him in these press conferences his answers just make absolutely no sense and he's running out of ways to deflect criticism about the way the team is playing.

It's amusing.

This

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

It's not about the total games lost, it's about the guys you lose.

And before you say it, you're right... he deserves to be fired regardless.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Suzuki and KK are still there I mean just let them play my lord. Im so tired of shooting from the blueline.

 

[Rapala]

Weber needs to be stripped of the C, this guy is the biggest sack of shit I have ever seen.

I wonder when we find out he's been playing injured...
ALL SEASON LONG.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Suzuki and KK are still there I mean just let them play my lord. Im so tired of shooting from the blueline.

I don't know why Staal is in the lineup at all.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Maybe Staal is a great locker room guy but his GAF meter is in the negative when he’s on the ice, not exactly the mentor we need

Sabres have done decent after Hall and Staal, left, might catch the Devils!

 

[Whitesnake]

It's not about the total games lost, it's about the guys you lose.

And before you say it, you're right... he deserves to be fired regardless.

Bubble size represents the quality of players you lose. So that table is not SOLELY about total games lost. Look at the othere teams with MUCH bigger bubble size.

 

[HabsInsider]

Bergevin should resign tonight, not joking.

Painful to watch.

MB doesn't have the self-awareness to resign. He'll have to be fired. Long overdue at this point.

 

[Habaneros]

Molson shoulda made Bergevin coach this mess

Until we get a owner obsessed with winning and a GM who is obsessed with winning , goona be the same old song and dance here ...

 

[Zorba]

So many excuses. We’re not scoring. At all
Injuries or not. You don’t win if you average 2 goals a game
