Habs score 10 goals against Detroit

[The Panther]

Seven times in the past 30 years the Red Wings have allowed 10 or more goals against. Six of those seven occurred during 1988-1993... and the seventh was last night. (They allowed 11 against Philly in February '88, during what was otherwise a solid and defensively strong season for them, 1987-88.)

They are not going to squeek in. They have always been the second best team in the division behind Tampa Bay. At least when Price is at his usual level, which he is now. As I've said on many occasions, the Habs will finish ahead of the Leafs and will play against them in the first round. We'll see how Price can do against Matthews then, because Auston has had his number until now.

The habs have neither centres or a defenceman who can move the puck. I would be shocked to see a team like that make the playoffs.

Habs are far worse than Tampa, Toronto, Boston and Ottawa.

I disagree with Toronto, Ottawa and Boston. All 3 of those teams are trash af and are going nowhere for a while. Tampa is going to be running the Atlantic for the next 5 years.

They always beat Ottawa easily, though. Boston are mediocre. What saves TO is Matthews and Anderson.

I wonder what will be your excuse when they finish ahead of all those teams except for Tampa Bay.

Edit: Actually, don't even say anything... I already know. Price. It explains everything for the nay-sayers.

Habs are 8-2-1 vs the Atlantic division. They always have a good divisional record and thats a key stat IMO. unless you face a team from the Metro (like last season).

I can smell a Habs vs Leafs playoff round....Finally!!!!

Before you get too excited, maybe let them get on a roll against some quality. On their recent 5 game roll they have played the 31st overall team, the 28th overall team, the 26th overall team twice and only Columbus (6th overall) of any quality. Those three bottom end teams have combined for 6 total wins in their past 35 games played. Further, the Habs have outscored their opposition 24-6 in that frame yet still sit at -8.

Maybe they have turned a corner but it would help to see it against some real competition.

That guy has so much blind faith that I'd honestly put him on suicide watch when the Habs start losing again.

Not particularly familiar with the poster but out of curiosity, even if you go back 20 games or so (remove their 1-7 start) to when their record is pretty good, they haven't played much quality (seems like a very easy schedule). Of their 12 wins, they came against 31st, 31st, 29th, 28th, 28th, 26th, 26th, 19th, 15th, 10th, 6th, 2nd. Losses came against 30th, 18th, 18th, 11th, 7th, 6th, 4th, 3rd.

Set the cut off where you will but that means when removing their rough start, they are 4-7 against teams in the top 18. Obviously a selective interpretation. Anyhow, will be interesting when they start consistently playing tougher teams. That's the test.

• Red Wings need to fire Blashill badly..

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

It appears all the Habs forwards had at least 1 point except for the one wearing the C.

That's extremely hard to do.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

All the Capitals jokes are overused. The Stanley Cups, the regular season banners, the Washington Mystics attendance banner, I've heard them all.

Come on, you can chirp better than that

Hey the mystics banner is better than all of the Flames banners.

Except the cup of course but just a funny fact/stat I thought I'd bring up.

Lmao.
Dis my kind of post.
Sens... meh, hope they do well.

And now the Wings come back with a solid 5-1 win against a very good Jets team. What gives?

They allowed 10 goals to the Blues during the 2010-11 season.

Nice catch. March 30th, 2011 -- Blues 10, Red Wings 3. (Either I missed it, or Hockey-Reference's search function did.)

See? 10 goals against isn't so bad... happens all the time!

I just looked it up and yes, the Flames have too many useless banners. At least us in Washington, we took down the Mystics attendance banner and put all the Presidents' Trophies on one single banner.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Idk about the presidents trophy banner in a single one, it still is an accomplishment regardless of post season success.

1995 Dec 2, red wings 11 - 1 Habs

Detroit Red Wings at Montreal Canadiens Box Score — December 2, 1995 | Hockey-Reference.com

...and Roy last game with Montreal.

According to Kris Draper, that was the "start" of the rivalry between Colorado - Detroit.

There Will Be Blood | By Kris Draper

Roy was traded to the Avalanche a few days later. That was the moment when the whole rivalry between us and Colorado got its spark. He never forgot what we did to him at the Forum. From that moment on, he took it to another level when he played us.
