Pre-Game Talk: MTL vs. OTT: The most hilariously boring "rivalry" game so far

[Bee Holder]

(Edit) Sunday's game is going to be a joke! Both those teams are out of the playoffs and therefore want the best pick possible. Ottawa is currently right under us (so, right above us!) with 5 points less but 2 games in hand.

Both those teams don't want a division rival having more chance than them to get the infamous 1st pick and rub it in their face.

Basically, expect both teams to give the game to the other.

Discuss.

Professional athletes will never be playing to lose.

The game will be bad since both teams are terrible, but the players on the ice want to win.

Tomorrow's game is against Anaheim

Right, it's Sunday's game vs Ottawa

 

[Habs 4 Life]

This team is so pathetic and not worth our time that we don't even know the schedule anymore
That's what 6 years of Bergevin has done to us

Professional athletes aren’t thinking about a draft lottery that could get them an 18 year old kid. They live in the moment and hate to lose.

And many of them are playing for future contracts. If you see a player giving up and trying to lose, why would you want him on your team if you're trying to win?

Just please win! I paid for tickets. Lose all the rest for all I care!

Do you see a ton of hate to lose on this club?

There’s a difference between hating to lose and not having the talent to win.

The Tomas Vanek effect. Lol, that guy turned 51 million into 18.5 million in like...4 months.

Please bring a FIRE Bergevin sign!!!!!!

Would be awesome if the arena is empty

Most important game of the season, it's a big 4 point game for the lottery.

 

[Adam Michaels]

This is a great weekend if Ottawa wins both of their games and Habs lose both.

If Sens beat Flyers tomorrow and Habs lose to Ducks, Sens come within 3 points of Habs with 2 games in hand.

If Sens beat Habs on Sunday, Sens come within 1 point of Habs still with 2 games in hand.

We have some veteran guys that make me think otherwise.

And that’s what make it worst, they living in the moment has been nothing short of a disaster, including effort wise

Yep a few sure look content to lose

The thing is, most of the time I don’t see a team that isn’t competing or the effort level isn’t there. There’s a few players who you could criticize for individual performances obviously, but as a team, the complete level has been there. There’s a lot of players who are being asked to play above what they are because of the lack of talent throughout the lineup. I’m just as bad as anyone for ripping apart guys like Benn, Alzner, etc but I don’t think they’re problems stem from a complete lack of effort, I think it has to do with their usage.

That's what 6 years of Bergevin has done to us

... and 15 years of Timmins drafting.

There’s not enough room on a sign to write everything I want to say!

I don't think Jeff Molson care about winning. As long as they can sell tickets and beer. That is their main concern. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this is not a good team and needs a rebuild. Yet they won't strip it down and trade vets.
