well this morning im pissed last game i knew it would be tuff with playing late night before and travelling but i still had hopes for a win but last night after loosing to them 2 days ago and the situation of calgary being the only potential chaser for a playoff spot i told myself we were going to come out with a knife in between our teeth and that we were going to show them that theres no way that we are going to let them come back in the mix jesus christ we didnt touch the puck for both games yesterday even worse than the 1st game we looked like we were playing shorthanded all game and this time we cant blame Price wtf is wrong with this team somtimes they look like stanley cup contenders and then they play 2 games like this where they look like a junior team playing against an nhl team its disapointing i just dont get it i dont mind loosing when i see effort and determination but this what the hell is this i remember BERGEVIN telling us he wanted players with the right attitude well where are they i thought he made good work last summer but i guess theres a lot more to be done because when i look at this team play like this were still far away from the good teams in this league 25 years of pain i cant take it no more i want a team like the one i saw at the beginning of the year is that to much to ask for yep im really pissed
Go Habs Go!
- Thread starter talkinghead
- Start date
A few things can explain the habs amazing start this season:
1- The team was ready to play on day 1, following their decent playoffs run( not deserved imho) contrary to their opponents, who still needed adjustment.
2- They faced very poor goaltending teams in the beginning.
3- Generally speaking, the north division, with all canadian teams, was very overated and still is by some. Although the Leafs and the Jets are interesting teams, after watching games from the other divisions, I dont see any of them making it to the semi- final.

This is the foreseeable future for the montreal canadians.
You don't win Stanley Cups playing language politics. Years and years of Therrien and Julien which never had any potential, but at least they could explain in french why the team missed the playoffs year after year. More and more I even suspect the Drouin trade was part of the politics. I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone would think sergachev for drouin straight up was a good trade.
We're a horrendous drafting team. How many of our 1st round picks are now playing in the AHL or the NorthEast Outdoor Potato Farmers League.
Even if you thought Price deserved 10 milliom at the time of the contract (he didn't) there's no way you can argue he still deserves it. He's getting outplayed not only by his backup, but by most of the backups in the North Division. The solution? According to Christine Simpson, play him more often (????????) But also, he needs more rest. But also, he needs less rest.
Defense wins championships, and our defense is swiss cheese. Weber is a Pylon, Petry is like a robot sent back in time to give up turnovers, Chiarot seems to be being paid by other teams to take bad penalties.
The team needs a full overhaul. Not the players. Management. Top down. An owner who cares about hockey. A general manager who wants to win, not just 'be competititve' or 'make it to the playoffs' The best available coach at the time, not the frenchest. And perhaps a strategy....?
Until those things happen, you have many years of watching sad montreal hockey. But hey, at least they're all still getting extremely rich.

Semi final as in “final 4” ?... haven’t checked the new playoff format but isn’t it already a given that at least one team from the Canadian division will be there ? ... if the format doesn’t favour them they will have some tough matchups
Yeah, like final 4. My point was just in reference to normal season. I dont know what the formula will be with this fucked up season, and I dont really care since, imo, I dont think the eventual champions will be remembered as so.
I believe the format in the first 2 rounds is that the teams within each division are seeded 1-4 and play off until there is a winner in each division. Therefore all 4 divisions will be represented in the semifinals. The 4 divisional playoff winners will then be reseeded for the semifinals based on points. I personally am disgusted by this format, but it is what it is. The Canadian division will have a team in the semifinals whether they deserve it or not.
ok then it’s confirmed that we will have at least one Canadian team in the semis ... that’s how I had initially understood it before the season started..... what happens after that nobody knows , that’s sports .... of course I would have wished for the Leafs/Oilers/Jets (Won’t even mention the Habs at this point) to be more gritty and defence oriented as those two traits gives one a better chance to go deep come playoffs...
@Jupiter9 I understand your disappointment with the league tinkering and rearranging the divisions but under the circumstances what did we expect.... it’s not an ideal format as a lot of teams more deserving of making the playoffs will probably be left out .... it is what it is , and whether or not anyone wants to put an asterisk next to this season’s Stanley Cup champions is up to them ..... let’s not forget that all the leagues have been affected in one way or another....
P.s . would the Heat have made it to the finals if last year’s season wasn’t so short? ... would Brady’s Buc’s have won the SB if they had to play in New Orleans or Green Bay with full capacity crowds making those teams home field advantage count ? I personally doubt it ...
Grosse et impressionnante victoire....TOFFOLI rides again, rapidité d'exécution là ou ils sont à leur meilleur ....PRICE encore à la hauteur ....importante victoire p ce que les FLAMES et CANUCKS ont gagné aussi.....ne sont qu'à 3 pts des OILERS et JETS...
mais ca c'est une autre histoire

mais ca c'est une autre histoire

A 3 vs 3 Montreal n' a jamais eu la bonne strategie...ou les bons joueurs. C'est pourtant simple ca prend tes joueurs les plus rapides, meilleurs scoreurs et qui savent conserver la rondelle. Donc Daneault n'a absolument pas d' affaire sur la glace. Malheureusement apres Daneauly y a pas grand monde de fiable sur les mises en jeu donc on cours apres la rondelle!
overtime is starting to be ridiculous if we would have won our share of overtime wins wee would be tied with toronto in ist place one thing for sure we have to start playing the game right off the bat and play for 60 min were showing character coming back from behind but we have to start winning games starting tonight go habs go
yep....9 défaites en prolongation.....incroyable....des points laissés sous la table qui pourraient venir nous hanter en fin de saison .....avec les CANUCKS et les FLAMES revigoré dernièrement....la soupe est chaude.....better wake up guys.....et ca commence fort tonight .
