Pre-Game Talk: Habs Prepare to get Flamed On (Tomorrow)

[Adam Michaels]

The new My Little Pony movie is on Netflix.

I know. My 8 year old has watched it like 10 times already.

Send the message with your lack of presence in the phonebooth. Empty rink for bunch of dinks to deal with.

 

[McGees]

Call up Vejdemo and waive Brooks for God's sake. Give one of our kids a shot!

Ducharme only likes using players over 35 so no point.

 

[The Great Weal]

This reeks of desperation. They know we need a PMD and Niku and Wideman haven't been good enough to stick. Norlinder is the millionth try to address a need that needed to be addressed a long time ago.

Calgary is rolling with great goaltending and a deep forward group.

Doesn't look good.

Hopefully we get blown out. Apparantly Nolson needs an anvil dropped on his head to wake the f*** up and fire MB.

Highly Doubt that. Pretty sure the plan is to send him back to Sweden, but they want to give him a couple of nhl games of experience before doing so.

Norlinder was only able to be sent on a conditioning stint for 3 games. Because of his Euro clause, they couldn't send him down for the longer conditioning stints. And they said they'd like to see him with the Habs before they decide what to do with him.

Highly Doubt that. Pretty sure the plan is to send him back to Sweden, but they want to give him a couple of nhl games of experience before doing so.

It's worth mentioning that KK, Mete, and Romanov all looked pretty good in their first preseason and start to the regular season. It was evident that they needed to be sent back down however when they struggled mightily.

Meanwhile, Sergachev played 4 games with us and was completely lost so he got sent back.

I think if Norlinder looked unready the way Sergachev was, he'll get sent back. If he looks good like how Mete and Romanov did at the start, they will keep him up for too long.

Is this a Freudian slip or are you really this witty? I LOVE IT.

Why do other franchises fire their coach and GM if they go on a 5 game losing streak, yet here we are 3-10-1, the playoffs almost out of reach already, and our foxhole hasn't made a peep? Oh right, the other teams want to win, while Habs just want to sell tickets and merchandise.

 

[mattyboy]

Pretty sure the technical name for that is…a concussion.

DD isn't an intelligent individual.

Give me the number of instances that a team fired their coach the season after having gone to the cup final.

Michel Therrien - Pittsburgh Penguins. Team went to the finals in the 2007-08 season, he was fired in the 2008-09 season is one instance.

And he is not ready based on what we saw in Laval

God knows we did not made the finals because of Ducharme. Also he was not even behind the bench against the knights lmao

 

[ChesterNimitz]

DD isn't an intelligent individual.

He doesn't give off the aura of a deep thinker.

3-11-1.
It's obviously not working regardless. They'd have to win 8.5 games in a row just to hit .500.

Doesnt matter if its currently working or not. Its ridiculous to think that a coach will be fired so soon after having brought the team to the cup final. What he did in the playoffs is enough of an accomplishment to have his job secured for at least 1 year.

The playoffs chances are pretty much dead regardless of any coaching changes. So its not like hiring a new coach would help. It will likely just hurt the tank.

Habs medical staff apparently didn't learn from the Juulsen incident.

At any rate I really hope Drouin and Juulsen make full recoveries. Head injuries and persistent headaches are no joke.

hmm, if anything, they have learned as he not played since.

 

[cphabs]

lol... "wins are coming" according to TSN article.

this one feels like its going to be a big smack in the mouth. You know Sutter is going to be stoking the fires from last year where we knocked them out of the playoffs... i suspect that they will come out of the gates firing on all cylinders, good gut check game to see how we respond.

I’m sure Roman had a stern talking to about cleanly crushing opponents… Seriously. Our franchise is a disaster.

 

[boompuffboom]

on va se faire TORCHER

 

[OpenIceHit]

Montreal 1 Calgary 7, give or take a goal or two.

 

[CHwest]

That just sounds right.
