Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to Skej Parée & Assorted Jerks

[Kobe Armstrong]

Marty's gonna need more nicotine gum

 

[Gustave]

You can't tank on purpose, but you can play man-to-man defence as a roundabout way of artificially increasing the difficulty level of defending the opponent.
Also building up the team cardio.

Unsure if sarcastic.

I can’t be the only one wondering how much longer we are going to play that Bantam level D coverage…

 

[Gravity]

Good news is that Savard made it out in one piece. Trade him Kent!

It's gonna be a little longer..

They'll start tightening screws when most of the parts are finally assembled.

I miss Pezz out there. I’m not sure if he accidentally ran over Marty’s dog or what, but it would be nice to have some muscle on the fourth line again, instead of the milquetoast bunch we’ve got there now. The ghost of Tanner Pearson sucks, even when he’s trying to play himself off the team.

 

[FLHabs]

Meetings for teams getting ready to play the Habs probably don't last more than 10 minutes. Hard 2 men forecheck and overload the boards. Habs just don't have any answers when other teams do that.

Also, their board play is just putrid. Not just board battles, but even just cleanly grabbing the puck from a simple rim is a hassle or just missed. Forget about clearing the puck off the boards, that's also borderline impossible unless it's an icing.

Sometimes I think the practices might not competitive enough. They always take half a second too long to make a decision or just aren't on the same page at all. Guys get deked left and right, always over chasing the puck carrier. It's like there's not enough skill on the team during practice to challenge each other.

Le sigh… can’t it just end right now? This season is a total crawl through mud experience.

Yeah rebuilds suck, no argument there.

But it was long overdue. We'll be rewarded for our patience eventually, I just know it.

They're doing it the right way.

Good first 2 periods. After Roy's goal was called back early in 3rd Montreal kind of deflated. They lost their legs in 3rd period.

Roy is looking good to be a top 6 player for us next year. Newhook-Dach-Roy seems like it could be a good 2nd line.

Just need to build the other 2 lines. Slafkovsky looks likes he starting to tire. He didn't play a full season last year. Not a great game by Caufield or Suzuki for that matter. It happens.

Our best line was the Newhook line with Armia & Roy. 4th line got stuck in our end for long, long shifts. At least twice of 2 minutes or more.

D was ok. Montembeault was pretty solid.

Saturday we play the Leafs (who are losing 4-1 to Bruins). We'll see how different our lineup is by then. TDL is tomorrow at 3 pm.

Suzuki was great early on but he was like a one man show and when his energy faltered his play was affected.
Brind'Amour adjusted to his line matchups and started using Staal more against him he's still a pain to play against.

Normal hé tires and don’t forget he skipped a few training sessions due to an injury , so surely that is affecting him as all

With Slaf coming down to earth, the first line losing steam and the fatigue kicking in… we are in for a tough month and a half. It’s hard to cheer for things.

The give a shit meter is on idle

I hear ya, I wish I had the strength to find something better to do, but my habs addiction won't let me.

Yeah, because he was shrugging Aho off him like nothing. Suzuki is a small power forward. Once Staal was put on him, he definitely made a difference. Staal has size & reach.

Yes, Slaf apparently is limping. He doesn't have jump right now.

 

[waitin425]

They are the jerkiest bunch of jerks that ever did jerk-off. Hate the damn canes

Same here, that’s why it’s easier with the community here. We all know what we are in for.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

When the hurricanes decided to play, we saw the difference in talent, coaching and system!

 

[morhilane]

He skipped the last two practices, probably shouldn't even be playing.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Tired of losing to these clowns

 

[sheed36]

Mr $20 signing bonus must drive home after games laughing his ass off that he's getting paid 4.82m to play 11 minutes a night and do f all out there.

 

[The Real Timo]

I had hotpot dinner tonight. I feel like time much better spent than you lot.

 

[HabbyGuy]

KK must drive home after games laughing his

Pretty sure he has been ever since he signed that ridiculous contract.

I don't miss him a bit.

 

[sheed36]

Pretty sure he was as soon as he signed that ridiculous contract.

I don't miss him a bit.

I posted that before finishing my entire post. I need to be way quicker on my post editing it looks like.

 

[Rapala]

I'm thinking like Brunet I'd like to see Roy get more PP1 time. His touch around the net trumps Newhook AINEC.

LOL Yeah now my post looks redundant, thanks for that.

I thought you were saying that because the Canes won and are the superior team right now.
