Can we go on an extended losing streak now please
Boring game, good tank game tho
They can surprised us with some wins but this is almost our AHL team
Meanwhile Bruins goalies scoring goals, I hate this timeline
From Monday to March 18th, the Habs will play 11 games in 19 days, including 2 back to back games and no more than 1 day of rest at a time.
Starting with a 4 game trip to the West, followed by 4 games at home vs Hurricanes, Rangers, Devils and Avalanche, then a 3 game road trip to Pittsburgh and Florida.
I think this is the moment where the team will (hopefully) start to tank
We played poorly after we took the lead. Very uninspiring from a number of players when the Senators just got battered last night, but gotta say Monty really laid an egg in the 3rd period.
Regardless of tanking, I just wanted Ottawa to get dragged down with us as well.
Lost all preseason + 3 season game. Damn 🙁
*BAD*
– Habs have some young studs on d but it’s going to be a while before they fully adjust to the defensive zone in the NHL. Lots of players just being out powered out there and that’s fine and expected.
– Hoffman with a real stinker. I don’t see anyone taking him and I’m not going as far as others but I expect Habs will be stuck with him.
– Didn’t get enough chances. Only ones they had it seemed Suzuki second breakaway miss a side they scored.
– Really hope and it’s optimistic on my end the deadwood the Habs have and not to name any names gets shipped out.
– Not many people played good on the Habs tonight and one was Monty. That’s alright.
*GOOD*
– Matheson fits here for sure. Guy can utterly fly out there and you can see why the Habs really wanted him in that petry trade. Local guy as well, rly fits with the team.
– Suzuki back to scoring ways is nice to see. Excellent little deke for the goal.
Finally
Now just hope that San Jose wins tonight.
My grandfather had never been to a Habs game. He flew from Australia to be here to watch this game with me, and he cried when fix you came on and the boys came out. Sure we didn’t get the win, but I got a memory to treasure forever. This man is in his 80’s going through terminal cancer, and he told me the Bell was one of the most magical atmospheres he’s ever seen. So blessed I got to do that with him, so grateful I got to move here and fall in love with this city and this team. Je t’aime Montreal, je t’aime les Habs
