Honestly, I'll say around the Winter Classic... or whenever Gallagher comes back

 

[Beendair Donedat]

It's the same old ****ing story.

No goal scorers other than Pacioretty and he only scores into empty nets now.

No game breaker, too many guys not willing to pay the price and go into the dirty areas.

And now you don't have the best goaltender in the world to cover your terrible weaknesses this year.

When we get a coach who can coach, not just rely on the planet's best goalie - there I said it

Other: When there is a roster and coaching change.

Bazinga, toronto 5 LA 0, Tironto takes San Jise to OT.

Its all about the coaching. MT should never of been hired.

Lmao people forget that we still won many games when Price got injured, we only started to lose after Gally's injury. But let's ignore that, and say that we were just relying on price...

Good coaches find a way to deal with adversity, not fold like a cheap chair. Stop using injury as an excuse; every team gets them.

We had ton of adversity since he came in, and we managed to deal with them. So?

I doubt any other team in the league have their two best player injured right now..

 

[Kojo]

Whenever our lord and savior Carey Price return, that's when.

If by that you mean people who can think critically without letting a ********** get in the way, then sure. You can't blame this all on one dude

 

[Halakitlikethat]

i'm thinking at this point we'll let the alumni lineup have a go next game. Maybe we would have some real leadership then.

I think it's amusing how Gallagher is getting more and more overrated as the losses pill up. When we lost him, we lost "a top 6 forward". And then he became a "top 3 forward", and suddenly he's supposed to be the best Habs forward? Is he going to be Crosby-elite in 2 or 3 more losses? It doesn't work like that.


Stop the stupid excuses, teams had WAY worse injuries in the past and they managed to play normal hockey, not this cluster****.

Wow! Someone who speaks the truth, that's exactly how I feel about Gallagher.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I don't see an end until Price returns.

 

[Gainesvillain]

When Carey Price is back.

^^ This.

Late January perhaps?

 

[Lorty]

Pretty much. This team is in LOVE with Carey Price, they will do everything they can to win for him when the team faces adversity. Sure, the team plays for their coach or the organization, but deep inside them, Carey Price holds a special place in their heart.


But hey, how can we blame them? The coach did the same thing over the last years : Games after games, when Price dominated and the Habs managed to win games they didn't deserve to win, the coach didn't bother fixing issues. "Carey Price was solid again, we played well, blahblahblah". The coach and every single person in the organization portrayed Carey Price as the solution of all our problems. Heck, he WAS the solution of all our problems.


This is what happens when we encourage such an unhealthy behavior towards a single person in the team. When that person isn't there anymore, then the team can't behave like a structured team anymore.
