Right now we're 10 pts back of that, or 5 wins, do we really think that getting Dach, Dubois, and Caufield back we wouldn't have more then 5 wins right nowPretty good for finishing about 22nd overall yeah
Why do you want that is what I don’t understand lolRight now we're 10 pts back of that, or 5 wins, do we really think that getting Dach, Dubois, and Caufield back we wouldn't have more then 5 wins right now
I can't do another tank year and want to see them start winning again. If they end up failing due to the youth not stepping forward it happens but I dont think that'll be the case with us next year. I'm tired of cheering for goals from other teams and want to be cheering for caufields laterWhy do you want that is what I don’t understand lol
Gurianov reminds me a lot of Andrei Kostitsyn, he's a tank, can skate, has good hands and a very hard shot, but can be frustrating to watch at times due to the inconsistency.
MSL is the perfect coach for him to help him improve offensively, I'm not expecting him to be a top line guy but I won't be surprised if MSL can improve his confidence and turn him into a 40-50 point guy.
I see some similarities for sure, but out of my limited viewing, I think akost was a better puck carrier... Or at least had better natural puck carrying ability.
When I see a shot like the one Ylonen buried last night it fired me up only to have folks bitching that he scored. Enjoy the success of the future Habs!Every win is going to hurt from that perspective.
Guess what? We’re still going to win some games this year anyway. And it will happen whether people want it to or not.
You can either celebrate it in the GDT or lament it in the rebuild thread. Your call. But you can’t whine about it in both.
When the kids have a good night, we have to be happy!!! Barron, Ylonen, Guriannov had a good night.....When I see a shot like the one Ylonen buried last night it fired me up only to have folks batching that he scored. Enjoy the success of the future Habs!
I also think Gurianov is a better skater. This is a great place for him to reset his career under a very good young coaching staff.I see some similarities for sure, but out of my limited viewing, I think akost was a better puck carrier... Or at least had better natural puck carrying ability.
of course it sucks to cheer for the other team but it also sucks to see our team be mediocre for over 20 years i cant even remember the last time we had a superstar forward or even an ppg player we have good depth but need elite talentI can't do another tank year and want to see them start winning again. If they end up failing due to the youth not stepping forward it happens but I dont think that'll be the case with us next year.

Damn. Pittsburgh is one of those teams I don't mind losing to but the Habs swept them this season? How?!!
Ylonen is definitely the next Lehkonen. Could be the better player too hopefully
While there is merit to debating the different perspectives within a fan base, I find it very lazy whenever we see "real fan" accusations made against people. There is no such thing as a "real fan". Its just a lazy way to say "people who agree with my view". We are all Habs fans. Some have different expectations and desires for what success looks like. Its important to be respectful of those different views which can be debated and discussed without resorting to labeling fans as "real" and "fake"There’s kind of a funny perversion in cheering on a team that sucks as bad as we do. It’s almost funny but it’s better than having people come in and be all Debbie Downer when we score.
Some posters mockingly were posting Oleh chants… but it was hilarious. We won a game. Enjoy it. It’s not going to happen often this year.
I get it. I do. We want the top pick. But man… the endless ‘real fan’ stuff is brutal in a GDT. It just doesn’t need to be there. The rebuild thread is there specifically to talk about that stuff. No need to ruin a GDT.
I hate to tell you, but the atlantic is a very tough division right now and there’s teams with better quality young pieces than us.I can't do another tank year and want to see them start winning again.

Oh I agree, but doesn't mean im not going to start next season with hopeI hate to tell you, but the atlantic is a very tough division right now and there’s teams with better quality young pieces than us.
We are several high end pieces from being a perennial playoff team.
The last 30 years has been riddled with bubble quality teams, I’d hope Hughes is aspiring for more success than that.
this photo made me laughYeah , but meanwhile, Drouin put 3 points in two nights...what a great trade by Bergevin

Anderson almost looks like a completely different player since the beginning of the year. It's like he has magically gained some vision and awareness. Incredible what MSL has done with him.
That being said, I'm really intrigued to see if he can morph Gurianov into something similar. Still 15 or so games to evaluate, but I'd lean towards trying to get him in on a 1 or 2 year deal to see where it goes.
Is Ticker still Pens property?Tristan Jarry was just a f***ing disaster last night. 4 goals on 7/8 shots, you must be kidding me.
