I'm a believer in this team, the core group of players and prospects going forward. But this year is just not the right year. Respect the process. The right thing to do in these coming weeks would be to sell but we all know that's not gonna happen.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Hopefully, we finish 7th or higher in the East. Not 8th.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I suspect a loss tomorrow as well as there's no way Niemi can play like he did last time against them.

Soon we'll be out of the playoffs.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

At least we tried.

 

[The Great Weal]

Kotkaniemi was really bad. And I'm putting that very nicely.

 

[Runner77]

Burned by fat-face Erne.

 

[Guess]

Missed most of the game, how was the 4th line?

 

[Habs10Habs]

Well that was a whole heaping pile of "Meh".

 

[David Suzuki]

Only saw the third period so that was no fun.

Thank god the Habs play their whipping boys tomorrow. Who hurts Ekblad?

 

[Runner77]

Yeah we get a call becuase erne is milking being hurt, we shouldn't get upset we should start filling out the paperwork to send to the academy.

...

The Academy grants Erne a Best Actor Award however, since his performance was so humiliating, they have ordered that his jersey be destroyed.

Pretender meet contender.

Considering almost everyone had Habs as a lottery team this year, being a bubble team is a step in the right direction. Also, this year, Habs have beaten top teams and in other games, they gave them a run for their money despite losing. And for tonight, Tampa's had their way against almost every team they face.

But you're right that Habs are a bubble team. And I'm okay with that since they seem to be heading in a new direction. But at some point, being a bubble team won't cut it anymore.

Not necessarily. Depends on your destination.

Who's going to knock us out?

The Habs of the 70’s use to turn it up a notch in the 3rd like Tampa did tonight. Tampa might be a contender

Watched half of the game, they were crap.

 

[HeShootsHeScores]

Habs were awful in the 3rd. Tampa played great but the habs sucked. No speed, no offense whatsoever. Habs Bruined up and it looked hopeless and pathetic.

 

[Koivu11]

Tampa is too good.

 

[Just Linda]

Can't we just all admit now.

The rivalry with Toronto has been dead for years, Tampa is our true rival (followed by Boston and NYR)

 

[TheBuriedHab]

The one thing you see from the good teams we've played lately Leafs, Preds and Lightning is they are not only good with the puck, but I'd say they are even better without the puck. Our forwards have looked suffocated for most of the past 3 games with the intense backchecking and stickwork of those teams.

 

[JianYang]

That team is the best everything.

Best players, best goalie, and as a bonus, the best divers.

If they can keep this form into the playoffs, they won't have much trouble to the Cup.

A nice chunk of Toblerone to ease my sorrows.

Team played good first two periods but couldn’t solve the lightning’s Defense. Couldn’t get past the blue line.

4th line was a fourth line. Did not much
