Who cares? It would be troubling if one of those players were named Crosby. Our team is based on Carey Price and the defense around him. We never claimed that we had a 40 goals scorer even, despite having one of the best goal scorer.

 

[George Lebay]

Our window is closing.

Go Alex Anthopolous on Jarmo until Johansen is on our team

 

[Schwang]

The same thing that always happens. Nothing.
The Leafs beat LA 5-0 and we lose to them while getting 45 shots. Then we lose 6-2. But none of that matters. Nothing ever happens, no one ever gets called out.

 

[rockjngo]

Jarmo is in his last contract year. don't think Columbus is renewing it. Might be fired soon.

Lars Eller, Nathan Beaulieu and 1st round pick should get us Ryan Johansen.
Marco Sturm, Brad Stuart, Wayne Primeau got Joe Thornton so...

 

[Maliki2]

How about we start playing Tinner. Not like he can be any worse than what Markov and Gilbert have looked like lately. But alas we are wasting a large young defensement due to MT and his pathetic inflated ego.

I'd be reticent to trade Nathan Beaulieu with an aging, declining Markov.

I'd switch Beaulieu with Tinordi and add a blue chip prospect in to off-set the value.

I agree with this.

At this point, MB is not finding a trading partner for Tinordi and Markov/Gilbert have played like they belong in the ECHL. Added to the fact that Tinordi is a previous 1st round pick, it boggles my mind that this kid has not been able to crack the lineup for at least one game. He can't be much worse than Emelin.

It is obvious that MT has zero confidence in Tinordi and Pateryn since Greg had that brutal turnover in Detroit.
Habs are is total free fall and may be in 8th place fighting for a spot very soon. Amazing to think this would happen after the amazing start they had.

At this juncture I would be open to letting Tinordi play a few games.

Now we play the waiting game. When will bergevin and Therrien be held accountable?

Tinordi has no trade value, never the less can't crack top 6. What makes you think Columbus wants him? If I was CLB I would ask for Beaulieu, McCarron and 1st.

 

[durojean]

You fo that line up and wait til we win more

Pac Plek Andrighetto
Eller Galchenyuk Carr
Fleishmann Desharnais Weise
Flynn Mitchell Byron

Markov Subban
Petry Emelin
Beaulieu Gilbert

Condon
Tokarski

I'd rather Holloway than Carr but i think it's the best line up we have for the moment.


We played pretty well in our bad stretch... We could have won a lot of those games...

When the players come back it's gonna get better.

I think the big mistake Therrien made is that he panicked where he shouldn't have and it had a ripple effect on the team.

Habs are a good team but they lost their heart (gallagher) and soul (price). Of course it's going to be harder to win.

 

[Uncle Gary]

Tinordi is not going to help our team. With the high end players that are supposedly available for trade MB needs to make a move. I would be very hesitant about moving Beaulieu however especially considering the way Markov has looked recently.

 

[TheAntiPrice]

Which player was it who said that this team was all Price earlier in the year? And we here gave him a hard time for it, I feel bad for doing so now.

 

[Mrb1p]

Steve Ott, I think.

 

[TheAntiPrice]

^Thank you, yes it was him.

lol I remember this board throwing a huge fit over it and calling him all sorts of names, he was 100% right.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

I think they prematurely let go of Semin

Been a downhill slide since.

 

[hardcorehabs]

Wait till Carey gets better is my plan.

 

[void]

Unless this losing streak continues for another 10 games (unlikely), I don't think anything will happen. They'll just tough it out until Price and Gallagher come back.

 

[waffledave]

Never. These guys are media darlings and they're protected. Anyone who dares call them out on twitter or on call-in shows gets berated and ridiculed. These guys are here until the owner decides it, and he's got too many of their cheerleaders making these decisions for him anyway.

 

[Brainiac]

It's not that the team is all Price.

The thing that is pretty obvious is that the guys were playing for Price. Not Therrien.

Bergevin seems to be fine, IMO. I think the guys like him. But Therrien? Forget it. They don't like him anymore and they don't want to play for him. Too many dumb moves, too many juggling. And him playing favorites is starting to take a toll.

We know this team can be good. We all saw it earlier this year when Therrien was actually managing his lines properly.

 

[Milhouse40]

I'm pretty shocked at where the Habs are right now.

Nashville, Minnesota, Washington, Tampa Bay and Florida are the next 5 games on the road......that road trip could become a nightmare and could put the Habs out of a PO spot.

The Habs have tried about every prospect in St-John but none worked out for MT.
Normally i would say it's probably a trade first but i really think Therrien rubbed a couple of Vets the wrong way lately, that's never a good a thing in the long run.

 

[tresHabs]

Has Kassian played a game with the Ice Caps yet? How has he looked and how much longer before he is NHL ready again?
We could use some bigger bodies out there to help control the play and bring some confidence to the locker room.
DSP hasn't played a game it what seems like forever. When is he set to return?
