Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to Leafs, play against Jets tomorrow

[Habssince89]

Honestly it was a tough loss, we didn't play 60 mins and we paid the price.

Bergevin definitely needs to make a trade for a D but the world is not crumbling. I feel silly being surprised by all the negativity here lol

 

[FloJack]

No f***ing way. He didn't say that. In what world does he think he cam emulate Perry's net front presence? JD vs the winners of the Quebec Peewee tournament.

Post of the night.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Both do absolutely nothing, the thing is Drouin can create something at time, on a fourth line he'd be fine.

I hope you’re right, and I hope that fourth line belongs to a team that isn’t Montreal. There’s absolutely nothing redeeming about this little puke right now. He doesn’t seem to care or to work on his shortcomings. Just shows up. Does the same things, and keeps driving everyone insane. Wish that puck would have hit him instead of Gallagher.

 

[JianYang]

By the way, we saw Anderson get banged up. I wonder if they consider sitting him out tommorow on a precautionary level.

Also, I have no idea how edmundson avoided disaster when he spilled into the boards feet first.

This night could have been alot worse.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

Coming here was a huge mistake.

 

[Hostile Offer]

You don’t need to specify what you hate since you hate everything. Unless it’s a Scandinavian prospect

Am I missing something here because Vejdemo and Olofsson are the only Scandinavian players in our organization and I don't see why anyone would particularly like them...

 

[Doc McKenna]

Missed the Oilers of the 80s and Red wings of the 2000s did you.

Islanders and avalanche or even jersey.

 

[angusyoung]

meh, good game. coulda gone both ways. goalie clinic.

felt like a playoff game

It was but Allan had more quality chances against him.

More incredible is some on this board thought we were a playoff team last season. Just had some bad luck and would lambaste posters who disagreed with them.
We have 7 new players in the lineup approx 1/3 and a 3 new coaches.

Ill give bergevin credit for the changes, but what does that say about the previous 8 seasons of throwing the deck chairs overboard and settling on beach towels. Just wow.

 

[OldCraig71]

You've been warned Jets. Look out tomorrow night now.

That's all he needs to do, say a few useless words to the media and all is good. He is favored just like DD was, he won't lose his spot in the lineup and the media will pick on kk or Suzuki and all will be well.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Staal with the quietest 17 mins from a C I’ve seen in awhile. Looked to be floating on several shifts

He wasn't good the other night either.

 

[angusyoung]

Habs seem to have to scratch and claw to get a goal too often, it's rare the goals come easy, need more firepower.

 

[OldCraig71]

It's not for the lack of trying.

Bergevin knows that, as one of the best paid forwards on the team, Drouin's a bad investment. They have tried to move him.

I don't buy that. If they were really unhappy with him, would he continue to get first wave PP time, would he continuously get the best possible linemates that try to get him going? Ever see him when he doesn't have the puck? LOL. Instead of sitting him, we sit Lehkonen, we put Paul B on waivers, we take the center spot away from Kotkaniemi all while JD gets a free pass. He is flat-out awful as an NHL player, a Swiss league star but not a good NHL player.

This doesn't sound like a bad strategy regarding a player you intend to move.

It's also understandable when it comes to the player you are want to move, but can't and your only hope is to get him going.

Ever see him when he doesn't have the puck? LOL. Instead of sitting him, we sit Lehkonen, we put Paul B on waivers, we take the center spot away from Kotkaniemi all while JD gets a free pass. He is flat-out awful as an NHL player, a Swiss league star but not a good NHL player.

Actually, I'm quite pleased with his play without the puck this season. It's his lack of impact on the offensive side of the game that worries me.

Still in awe and shock from getting out of Buffalo?

 

[Runner77]

He’s probably in shock that a team has actually decided to use him in a top 6 capacity.

 

[Habs Icing]

What surprises me the most is that he knows there is the front of the net.

 

[Scaryprice]

Drouin literally is contributing nothing .

Most accurate comment here

 

[Habs Icing]

Suzuki will figure it out. He has the IQ, Im not worried about it.
He has a great shot, excellent defensive instincts. I would give him some games off though.
But KK, I dont see anything in his game that makes me want to wait and find out.
I dont see in him an excellent passer, his puck control is awful and he is not assertive on the ice.
His shot takes 8 seconds to go. He has no balance.

Change my mind

Jeeze, man it's like I was a twin and my parents sent you away. I found you at last.

I couldn't agree with you more. I would add his shot rarely hits the net.

 

[Tanknation]

Drouin just said in his postgame he doesn't mind how he's playing. Ok then..

Wouldn't you? If you came to work each day, did nothing all day, then went home to 5.5 million each year.

 

[Habs Icing]

I will give NS a chance. But KK I have little hope for. I've been watching hockey many years. Seen many young players. Let's hope I am wrong.

I see more and more posters are starting to see the light when it comes to KK. Another great draft pick from the sterling Timmins.

 

[dinodebino]

Not as much depth, not even sure they had bigger stars. Sorry.

? Oilers? Not bigger stars? Islanders???? How old are you?

Or how biased are you?

 

[Habs Icing]

I just watched the highlights, when it was 1-1 Montreal had some good chances but even in the highlights it is clear that Weber has lost some step which is of course natural. When it matter, let's say in a division final against the Leafs I think that Montral would win.

C'mon, admit it. That was a pity post.

A playoff team built for an early exit.
