[googlymoogly]

If you guys think Julien can fix 5 years of Therrien in one Friday practice you're were expecting a miracle.

 

[NobleSix]

damn this team is very far from contention

a lot of work to do boys

 

[negative77]

what does Weber do, again?

good defense, big shot, big hits?

Leadership, allegedly. And rispek.

 

[Whitesnake]

Please ask players in Brooklyn, St-Louis, or Boston if it took them 5 years to transform....

Were those teams also coming from 1-week break? Do you think that those 3 teams will end up winning it all? Hey Buffalo just beat St-Louis....are they back at sucking again?

 

[The Nightman]

takes up cap space

For how many more years, again?

 

[sheed36]

what does Weber do, again?

good defense, big shot, big hits?

He hasn't hit anyone in 3 months it seems.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

what does Weber do, again?

good defense, big shot, big hits?

Bring karakter and liderchips.

 

[MTL-rules]

Please ask players in Brooklyn, St-Louis, or Boston if it took them 5 years to transform....

They were much better coached...

 

[mariolemieux66]

I hope Bergevin is seriously re-thinking his "all-in" plan for this season.

We've known that for a while now. The coaching change was necessary. Now we need to trade Plekanec and DD at the deadline.

 

[Mrb1p]

This GDT is insufferable.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

If you guys think Julien can fix 5 years of Therrien in one Friday practice you're were expecting a miracle.

Its also still the team MT wanted. A roster catered to him.

Team needs to get bigger, faster and more aggressive. The harder to play against mentality that MB preached isnt reflected in his moves

 

[Treb]

Too small against anyone, I think. 7-8 forwards are like 5'11 or less

Plekanec 5'11
Mitchell 5'11
Shaw 5'11
Byron 5'9
Gallagher 5'9

Defenceman
Nesterov 5'11

Scratched
Andrighetto 5'10
DD 3'0

 

[AshyHabs]

For how many more years, again?

I'll be old as ****. That's how long

 

[Hackett]

If you guys think Julien can fix 5 years of Therrien in one Friday practice you're were expecting a miracle.

It's not about that. It's about the guys he has to work with and how they have responded to the change. It's not good.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

He hasn't hit anyone in 3 months it seems.

MB and Molson are extremely lucky Subban has had an underwhelming season or else the backlash would be tremendous. Weber is good but he's not as advertised.

 

[Brainiac]

We've known that for a while now. The coaching change was necessary. Now we need to trade Plekanec and DD at the deadline.

Trade DD? Eh... not happening.

 

[NobleSix]

speaking of DD, is he playing today?

 

[sampollock]

7 minutes, and Claude says ya, are you dudes awake?

 

[realtalk11]

winnipeg has a bright future.

we suck

 

[Redux91]

at this point id be ok trading galchenyuk for duchene

alex is just too slow, and will probably never get faster

 

[sampollock]

speaking of DD, is he playing today?

nope, watching at MT's house

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

a guy like Nesterov can't handle these gigantic forwards.

the good news is not a lot of teams are built like the Jets; I would imagine many teams have trouble containing them

 

[mariolemieux66]

Trade DD? Eh... not happening.

If LA got a conditional 5th for Gilbert we could get a conditional 7th in 2020 for DD. Dont you think?

 

[expy]

This does not look like a playoff calibre team.

I hope we miss the playoffs.

Finally get rid of DD. And then we can build from there.

 

[Lshap]

It's not about that. It's about the guys he has to work with and how they have responded to the change. It's not good.

The response to the coaching change will be measured once Julien has had the chance to actually coach.
