Not getting our ass kicked by the Leafs is a huge upside too, especially since their last playoff win was in 2004 or something.

Instead of moving the team, let's just bring back the nordiques, who'll be useful as an escape valve for the linguistically obsessed. They can even rename them Le National if they please.

They might just not have a choice in the matter. If they can't cut it in the North, imagine what it will be like when things get back to normal and we play way more often against la crême of the league, with 82 games to crash down even further in the standings after a hot start, quite possibly losing core players (Danault, Tuna) this summer, Weber, Price and Petry all above 34 years old. It ain't gonna be pretty unless we snag a miracle worker behind the bench or a miracle trade or signing for some elite talent on D.
I've made bets with friends, around the mid-February mark, we would miss the playoffs. I've got many pitchers of beer and drinks on the line, once the restrictions ease up in Quebec. Let me tell you our group chat went from GIFs of beers flooding it to frustration and indifference.
1. Every season, we have an amazing start (around 12 games).
2. Our play then falls off a cliff (it started beginning of February, with little to no injuries to blame for this re-occurence).
3. Chiarot-Weber as a first duo on defense has to be one of the worst in the league. It was evident the coaching staff would live or die with that duo.
4. We wouldn't remain injury-free for the entire season. Schedule is too condensed and luck was going to run out.
5. Inexperience at C position: Even I could not predict our centers would struggle to produce the way they're struggling now. I saw KK outscoring Suzuki this season. Wrong.
6. Injury to Price: For all the shit he takes from fans, he is able to steal games. He was so dominant during last year's playoffs he made our defense look great. His play this season seemed strange, and nobody here will be able to pinpoint why. All this to say I knew my chances were slim if Price remained healthy, as I was confident he would return to form. But alas, he's not there to salvage this season.

Allen has been great. But when we stopped sheltering him, his numbers tanked.
It's hard keeping decent numbers behind bad teams, esp when you are used in harder opposition. For all the talk of Allen being great (and I think he has been great) his numbers are sub .900 since taking over the starter's role.
Being a backup vs being the starter are two very different things.

That's the behavior of a man who's hands are tied and was simply given a raw deal.

If I were Molson and intent on making the playoffs, I'd go with Turk who always does great in his first seasons.
But Boucher would also a breath of fresh air.

So we have 10 games left, and Calgary has 9 games left.
If we lose the next one against Calgary, they would be 2 points back with 1 game less to play.
If they go 5-3 the rest of the way (which isn't crazy), they would have 57 points
If we go 4-5 the rest of the way (which looking at our upcoming schedule is not crazy either), we would also have 57 points, but they would have more wins, so they would be ahead of us.
It's really not that hard to fathom that they could pass us.

Back in the day, I was always horny!
Such a pathetic dreadful team now, thanks again Marc!
you heaping pile of shit. You and your ''loyalty'' tirade has really paid dividends hasn't it. Molson has been loyal to you yet you show loyalty to selective players and not the ones you should have

Hockey is unpredictable and things can change game to game. This team might win 3-4 in a row and make the playoffs over Calgary but I think that we can all agree that the team has holes and will fall short because of it. We dominated Vancouver early on and we got off to our usual hot start, giving us hope that this year was different but nope, still the same. This team is in for some rough years and a real rebuild has to take place, Price, Weber and others will have to go.
If a new GM comes in and repeats what MB has done then things will remain the same. We need a big cleanout, a colonoscopy that goes right through the organization. Go Habs.

Can anyone come on in and throw that pompom brightness on the habs. What is our last 10? 3-7 as bad as teams with 10+ points less than us. So even though they have bad records its because they are bad teams. We are getting there though. I think we only have 1 win in the last 6. Pretty terrible and they aren't even able to make OT for a BS point, unlike the start of the season.
We have had a 'few' injuries this year, but honestly hasn't even been that bad. Weber AGAIN! Price AGAIN! Gally AGAIN! Armia...not a major loss but says a lot about this team if he was. And a game here and there by a few other players. Plus a benching for Tatar, Byron getting waived-what a half dozen times?? Drouin getting "injured" now for 2 games. What am I missing. Anderson for a game?

Vancouver were 10 points back with 5 in hand. Now they're 8 points back with 5 in hand. If they manage 6 points out of 10 with their games in hand, they'll also be 2 points back of the habs, albeit with the same number of games left as the habs.
Van and Calgary have a shitload of games against each other to top it off, and if they are tight games, we're looking at a lot of extra points.
The outlook for the habs is bleak.

A gentle reminder Vancouver is 8 points back with 5 games in hand. They could still get in instead of the habs, a loss to calgary on monday would be doubly bad.

Gonna have to be a major colonoscopy with all the works cause everyone in the organization seems to have their heads up their own butts.
If I was him I wouldnt take blame either.
Inherited a garbage team with no skill in the line up or in the system, no decent #1 or 2?center and no pmd cept Petry.
Im repeating myself, but come on man.
