Go Habs Go!

Well... hope the kids learnt from this humbling master class.
If they ever want to win against real elites they need to keep working at it. 6/8 points... I'll take that.

I knew that Colorado have a one of the best if not the best NHL team, but they kicked the Habs ass very hard !
You have to give the entire team a pass on yesterday's performance. As previously noted: back to back road games the 2 days after Thanksgiving against the 2 best teams in the western conference, tryptophan highs, and the thin air of Denver are way too much to overcome, for any team. It was cruel scheduling. Have any of you guys tried to do activities at high altitude? Not at a mini Mountain like Mont Tremblant, I am talking about real mountains like the Rocky Mountains. This is why the team is called the Avalanche. I actually got altitude sickness going to the summit of Pike's Peak and it was pretty scary.
Colorado players' heart and lungs are adjusted to the altitude and conditions of playing in the Mile High City, but the Habs are not.
Anyway almost any team would be happy with and take the 2 points they got in those 2 games.

I did several hicking trails in the andean mountains at 3500 meters +. In the first week, just walking is enough to force you to stop and catch your breath! For sure, the Avs have an edge over the other teams since they train and play at 1500-1600 meters.
Vrai. Mais ils ont gagné en Utah et c’était en altitude aussi. Un peu moindre mais quand même.
Been sking in Lake Louise a few years ago, was short breathed just going up a small hill in the parking lot. Base elevation is around 1600m like Denver. Also been to Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix, 3800m. Top of Europe, they say. Going up stairs in the observatory was a real challenge. Those things matter, it's an advantage for locals.
But still, on s'est fait planter hahaha. C'est correct, l'Avalanche est dans une ligue à part, j'ai pas plus mal dormi. On se reprend à la prochaine game.

Ah well, Hutson is also not good enough for Bill Guérin, he prefers Quinn Hugues who, is showing some very unprofessional attitude lately with the Canucks.
Quinn Hughes wants to force a trade to the Devils so he can play with his brothers.
I think Guerin/US Olympic Team prefer players who are big and physical. But here is the good news: Caulfield and Hutson not playing in the Olympics means they can't get hurt playing in the Olympics. Like the Tkachuks did in the Four Nations Tournament, as well as Charlie McAvoy, who was out for most or all of the season.
It was somewhat miraculous that Matthew Tkachuk came back, had a very solid playoffs while playing hurt, and helped the Panthers win a second straight Stanley Cup.
Caulfield and Hutson will come back after the Olympics break healthy, refreshed, rested, tanned from their Caribbean vacations, and ready to go.
He literaly said if you cant hit, you don’t belong in a hockey tournament! I wonder what guys like Mario, Wayne ot Brett Hull think about that!
The USA talent pool is incredibly deep, and it's their prerogative to have a philosophy in choosing which of many talented players will wear the red, white and blue. But Guerin and his staff have to remember the fans will be watching, very expectantly, and they have a message for him:
Montréal vs Toronto en ce beau samedi de décembre, un classique du samedi soir!
Du gros hockey en Prime Time sur Hockey Night in Canada, oui monsieur. Dommage que je ne sois pas à la maison ce soir lol.
Pis en regardant le classement, c'est tu ça qu'on appelle un match de 4 points? Le genre de match qui fait la différence à la fin de l'année!
Plantez-les les gars, PLANTEZ LES!

If what you are saying is that Montreal finally has a better team than Toronto, I agree with you.
Not saying that, but it's damn close in the rankings so far. Good times ahead, much better than top vs bottom.
Not really. Montreal is #15 and Toronto is #25:. Why don't you just say in English what you were trying to say in French: Montreal is the better team.

The Capitals, Penguins and Flyers are the big risers this week, with the Ducks, Devils and Mammoth sliding.

At the moment of writing this, Toronto was two points behind with only one more game played. A win or lose in that context can change things when it's tight at the end of season. I prefer to look at things this way.
Mais oui, on a gagné, tant mieux! Ben content! Zéro point aux Leafs aurait été encore mieux par contre.
Very disappointing loss by Montreal- both goalies were terrible, 3 goals by TB defensemen including 2 by Raddysh, who was allowed to make a salad whenever he wanted to instead of being eaten.
