An OT loss is acceptable so long as they win the last 3 before the break in regulation vs NYI, Ott, Pitt I think it is. That said I'll take a reg win too....so, JFWIROOOLIOIYM
I've got no dog in the hunt but I will cheer for the Bills, bonus it would be the last we see of Tay Tay for a while if KC gets the boot. I have a mixture of players from all teams in my fantasy league but I favoured the Ravens, 49ers, Lions and Bills.
Meh it's their centennial. I'll give it to them. if you remember the Habs' 2009 season, there were a lot of ceremonies. And celebrating overcoming the playoff futility vs the Habs I take a a backhanded complement.
Monty wasn't himself after taking that shot off the facemask. Said it felt like he took a solid punch to the chin. Maybe he should've been taken out at that point. Anyway, a very entertaining two periods and the PP was clicking. The Leaf lost again and now I have a #2 to root for in the Isles (except this Thursday). What fun if they push the Leaf out of the last playoff spot!
First, a big F U to POS mclame and his new sidekick The Joker (fried-man in his ugly purple clown suit) for trying to manufacture controversy regarding AX being in the minors. Losers.
As for that shitshow last night, that game needs to be kept in the memory banks. It won't happen this season and probably not the next either but, somewhere down the line revenge will be extracted. Remember at the end the regular season in 2022 when the Habs beat up a Panthers team who were resting their regulars 10-2? Well, last season the Panthers got their revenge a couple of times smoking a woeful, beat up Habs team. Florida didn't show any mercy. Lesson learned, I hope.
I caught the last part of the 2nd intermission where they were discussing how many good Canadian teams there are this season. Bieksa said Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg .... no mention of the leaf. I'm sure he hurt mclame and hahahrudy's feelings.
There is quite a debate going on over at EOTP regarding MoneyHabs trade value. They've been discussing what teams need a center and what they may be able to offer in return. One of the teams was the leaf. I've been checking it periodically and spotted this beauty of a post. Moe will love it:
"Fraser Minten untouchable?
You just got tricked by the shysters in Toronto.
The only reason Minten got this status as an A prospect is solely due to a trick by Toronto's FO.
What trick you ask? Toronto has basically no meaningful assets except their 1st round pick. What they did with Minten is an attempt to create value out of nothing. They gave this guy a 4-game trial in the NHL with the SOLE purpose to signal to Hockey Canada that he was one of the closest prospects to the NHL. Minten would've been a bubble player (for Team Canada) under normal circumstances. But because he had some NHL games, the national media basically penciled him in as a lock for the WJC which Hockey Canada obliged.
I am telling you right now. If we get Minten for Monahan, I will not be happy. This guy does not even move the needle for Laval. If Toronto is able to flip this guy for anything of substance then they will have accomplished what they were seeking all along, to inflate a subpar prospect in order to get a premium piece.
Stay away from Toronto."
What a great post!
Minten was made team captain and guess what, Canada didn't get a sniff at a medal. You can polish a turd but it's still a turd.
Happy for Saint Patrick and his Isles for getting an OT win in his first gamd behind tgeir bench. I note the refs awarded 0 penalties to the perfectly behaved Dallas Stars for him (vs. 3 minors called on the Isles). Makes me wonder about an anti-French/anti-Habs bias still being harboured by some zebras.
So Red Barron and the Sheriff passed each other on the Orange line (Montreal Metro stations for the Phone Booth and Laval's Place Bell are both on that line for those who weren't aware). This is good. RB has defensive things to work on and the Sheriff was ripe for a return to the CH.
Pretty obvious with the turds running roughshod over the Habs last time they needed a deterrent for Tka-Douche. And arsewipe stutzle needs a tuning up as well. Enter the Sheriff.
It was also time for Barron von Clumsy to get some AHL training in.
The Sheriff is back Nice! He should be part of our core D Red Barron made too many mistakes on defense Nice contributions on offence But should be D first Put Wifi with Struble A don’t fuck with D pairing Yup Go Habs
Looks like Nick, Sean and Jake will be busy tonight rotating through 4 lines. Probably going with 7 D too unless someone else gets called up, Lias Andersson maybe?
Maybe running a blood donation clinic yesterday sapped their will to play competitive hockey. Looks like a gong show in their own end. Bloody awful effort. Or: Somebody tell them that third period in Boston is over please.
Ok I was keeping the faith but I'm now willing to admit this is just an all around not very good team. Not enough depth skill. Not enough grit. Not enough defensive awareness. Not good enough goaltending. No elite sniper, with all due respect to Cole. No power play. Has AX been playing? Has he been told to tone down his physical play? A very disappointing and disheartening game. Etc. etc. etc.
Came in late, sounds like I haven't missed anything. You know Saint Patrick will have his team fired up this Thursday. Maybe a fragile Pens team will offer some relief but Sid usually brings his A game to Montreal. Nope, looks like a nose dive down the standings are in order.
Honestly, sending Stephens down was a choice I can understand, except you need four centres. All the line juggling made ot a mess. Jacques Martin's got his team settled into their proper state, playing sound, effective hockey. To many times no one knew where they were supposed to be or what they were supposed to do. Not MSL's finest moment as coach, nor HuGo's finest for leaving the line-up in such a cockeyed state.
As many goalies as centremen? Never seen it. Never.
I’m guessing the tank is being tuned up. Tighten all the belts and tracks, grease all the bearings get that sucker ready for the trade deadline. Wether we send Tanner up or down or Ax Man in or out what remains the same is there is nary a russle from Hugo. They are hunkered down in the foxhole ready to deflect any and all bombardment until the time is right. Listened to Gordo on melnick and he’s like ya we want to win and stuff but we’re just not doing anything right now cause we’re not in a hurry. In Marty we trust and so ya have a nice day. I’ll say this If there isn’t something to smile about at the trade deadline I think we’re in for probably three more years of this. So everyone better put your helmets on it’s gonna get bumpy. Go Habs
I agree with CHester, this IS the plan. This is what a rebuild feels like. Shitty.
Gorton and Hughes will not deviate so it is what it is. Brian Wilde mentioned in his column this morning that the fans laid off of them last night. That's a good thing, that they can recognize this is a very young, mistake laden bunch.
I am also on board for the "sell everything if the price is right" path. I wanted to keep MoneyHab but if someone antes up large take it.
I am probably done watching week day games. I'll stick to Saturday nights for the time being. I've got a ton of shows to get caught up on anyway.
Well the 2018 team Canada players are sweating now. The names are.out there and it seems obvious as some of those players have recently been listed as away from their team for 'personal reasons'. I know it's not about accolades for him, but Rick Westhead deserves an award.
The Montreal Canadiens, barring lottery hijinx would be picking 6th in the upcoming draft. It took 7 spins to get up to #2. If it is #6, Cayden Lindstrom or Iginla's kid would be nice. I too, shall be taking a pass on tonight's game but I will check in on this site occasionally as SiM always posts who scores for the Habs.
I should clarify it was 7 spins on Tankathon. They have Montreal taking Helenius at #6, if he is another Saku sure, but Montreal needs MOAR bigger. Speaking of Saku, his kid Aatos is ranked in the 2nd round. It would probably be better for him to play elsewhere after the way the french media treated his Dad.
Kept track of the score so watched the game on FF to see the goals and Gallagher hit mostly. Played some good hockey, scored some nice goals and were saved by Monty Python's excellent play in the end. They play tomorrow and then only one game in 13 days. I dare say Lep will be missing at least those two and perhaps the first game after that stretch as well.
Probably. Despite what others might think or say, he's not generally a dirty player and has never been suspended to my recollection. Based on that it 'could' be only 3 or 4. But I wouldn't be surprised by 5.
Yes, a rebuild does need veteran leadership and direction and $Hab is perfect for that role. He could get a better deal somewhere else though if he stays healthy and helps a club get deep into the playoffs.
He is the best center on the team. Period. Brian Wilde talked about analytics in his column today. Monahan's line was over 90% for expected goals and Nick's line was less than 3%. We (and the team) are sure going to miss him when he's gone. The Tank will be full on.
We should fight the American invasion with a bold move. Juice a Canadian team to win the cup. Even the dreaded Leaf. For example KidA, Monohab, Army, Powerhorse and Savard for Captian To, Knives and top prospect and a first.
Steve, shame on you for even suggesting that. Let's help the Canuckleheads instead, a much less offensive to Habs fans team. All those guys you mentioned for their top prospect Lekkarimaki, plus 1st and 2nd rounder in 2024.
OK so, one of the leafnet talking heads mentioned Vancouver as a possible MoneyHab destination but, no 1st rounder coming back. Pffffttt .... fuck that, sign him to an extension.
I dont need no stinking draft pick, I want hockey player. A draft pick is like playing the lottery, You can punch as many tickets as you want. Most will still be losers, and the winners will not change your life.
Yes after about 5 minutes of them talking about the non goal and other leafy things McLame says I suppose we should check on the other games...though they wanted to continue talking about Reaves.
29 one goal games out of 49. 15-7-7. If even the OT losses are wins they are in a wildcard spot. It is clear this team just needs a player (or two) to pot more goals to get to that next level.
I like Dach but I don't think he's the answer to our scoring woes. Has to be via trade or UFA because if relying on the draft, it's uncertain no matter where you draft, but also at least 3 more years to see results IF they happen to get a pure goal scorer.
Meat has stated vehemently that he was far away from these criminal events and had or knowledge of it at the time. I don't know of any others from that team to go on the record like that.
Offence dies on Power(less)Horse and Lep's sticks GI Finn inconsistent, only shows up once in a blue moon RHP flash in the pan, too small Yodel got nuthin' Pezz is what he is, a forechecker/disrupter Slaf still learning the ropes
The Habs wingers are pathetic
Suzuki 2nd line center Dach still waiting on him 7Evans good defensively, little if any threat to score DVo same
Commenters at EOTP debating trying to coax Stamkos to come to Montreal next season as he is UFA this July. They are saying it will be either Tampa or Toronto. Two things come to mind: 1) the wretched leaf couldn't afford him and maybe Stammer looks at how the media are starting to treat Pajama Boy during his recent slump and 2) Last time I looked, former Lightning players Marty St. Louis and Vinny Lecavalier now work for the Habs. Would they have any influence? I know Stammer doesn't fit "the timeline" for the rebuild but he might help the next few years, he turns 34 next month, how many years would he want?
Realistically it's doubtful he leaves Tampa, I still advocate for an extension for MonaHab, only 29 and drives play. He is worth far more than some late 1st round pick. A Grade 'A' prospect like Dach or Newhook in that age group has to be included otherwise no deal.
I'm with you on this, the M. Letting $Hab go is a bad idea unless they can turn around and sign him July 1. Then again HuGo has shown a great depth of understanding of what players are out there and available. I trust any surprises they have in store.
Pretty sure Hugo gave their word on a trade to a contender So a first rounder is late but maybe we can scoop a prospect Would mix well with our age group Sad to see him go but he would have given us a first rounder and more Great scoop for Hugo Looking forward to hopefully many good things this month We seriously need to look at our forwards Go Habs
Maybe Kent takes the late first (and a prospect?) for $Hab and turns that pick and the other first from Calgary he also got for him into an off season trade to pick up a known commodity that can score goals. Not sure whom that might be mind you. As a renowned former GM once said, trading is hard.
I'm sure you guys have seen the story about Kid KoHo's travails in Carolina, very little point production, dropped to the 4th line, etc. Looks like that little revenge escapade has come back to bite those arseholes hard. Looks good on them. Even the annoying Grant Mccagg has admitted KoHo is a bust, never should have gone 3rd overall.

Looking at Blob's top 10 list today, the Habs should have an elite forward fall into their laps at #6 or 7. Unless of course ..........

ReplyDeleteProbably. Despite what others might think or say, he's not generally a dirty player and has never been suspended to my recollection. Based on that it 'could' be only 3 or 4. But I wouldn't be surprised by 5.
DeleteThe price for MoneyHab keeps going up. Hughes should get a handshake deal with Sean, I'll trade you to a contender but sign with us in the summer.
ReplyDeleteYes, a rebuild does need veteran leadership and direction and $Hab is perfect for that role. He could get a better deal somewhere else though if he stays healthy and helps a club get deep into the playoffs.
DeleteHe is the best center on the team. Period. Brian Wilde talked about analytics in his column today. Monahan's line was over 90% for expected goals and Nick's line was less than 3%. We (and the team) are sure going to miss him when he's gone. The Tank will be full on.

ReplyDeleteI thought he had a previous but it was a fine.
Regardless, shameful behaviour.
~ moe
I wonder if Lep will ever say why he did that? So out of character for him.
DeleteLep gets the max, 5 games. The guy he hit has a history of concussions, his career might be over.

ReplyDeletemclame and his leaf biased morons still cheering their leaf on.
The Joker (fat fried-man) yakking MonaHab trade shit. Rangers? Not fucking likely. Gorton says eff you look somewhere else Drury.
Forgot to mention earlier, looks like PLD is a flop in LA. Montreal dodged an $8,000,000.00 bullet there.
Until he hangs up his skates I'll never end the dream of Sid in a Habs sweater to end his career. So smart all over the ice.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand a lot of Punjabi, but I know 'spin around backpass'! π
DeleteSid almost always finds a way against the Habs.
ReplyDeleteHabs D can't handle Sid's line
ReplyDeleteJake is sharp tonight. I wonder how many scouts at the game.
ReplyDeleteLoser point, better than nuthin'
ReplyDeleteBah!
ReplyDeleteThe Penguins are an old shitty team. I look forward to the day when a young Habs team steamroll them into the ice. Another year or two...
ReplyDelete29 one goal games out of 49. 15-7-7. If even the OT losses are wins they are in a wildcard spot. It is clear this team just needs a player (or two) to pot more goals to get to that next level.
ReplyDeleteLike DaCH?
DeleteI like Dach but I don't think he's the answer to our scoring woes. Has to be via trade or UFA because if relying on the draft, it's uncertain no matter where you draft, but also at least 3 more years to see results IF they happen to get a pure goal scorer.
DeleteOK, I'm out. Good night all.
ReplyDeleteCale Makar and Meat were on the 2018 junior team
ReplyDeletePretty sad thing for everyone involved
Go Habs
Meat has stated vehemently that he was far away from these criminal events and had or knowledge of it at the time. I don't know of any others from that team to go on the record like that.
DeleteNothing but a 2 gaol team ~ moe
ReplyDeletegoal
Delete49ers and Ravens
ReplyDeleteLions and the chiefs
ReplyDeleteLove to see the lions in the superbowl
Detroit will collectively loose their minds
Go Habs
Offence dies on Power(less)Horse and Lep's sticks
ReplyDeleteGI Finn inconsistent, only shows up once in a blue moon
RHP flash in the pan, too small
Yodel got nuthin'
Pezz is what he is, a forechecker/disrupter
Slaf still learning the ropes
The Habs wingers are pathetic
Suzuki 2nd line center
Dach still waiting on him
7Evans good defensively, little if any threat to score
DVo same
Lots of rebuilding left to do.
Some good football. Thought the Ravens would defend better. ~ moe
ReplyDeleteMe too, but the Chiefs are a hard team to stop, they know how to win.
DeleteI thought the Ravens depended a little too much on Lamar.
So, the Kansas City Swifties vs the California Gold Diggers, eh?
Commenters at EOTP debating trying to coax Stamkos to come to Montreal next season as he is UFA this July. They are saying it will be either Tampa or Toronto. Two things come to mind: 1) the wretched leaf couldn't afford him and maybe Stammer looks at how the media are starting to treat Pajama Boy during his recent slump and 2) Last time I looked, former Lightning players Marty St. Louis and Vinny Lecavalier now work for the Habs. Would they have any influence? I know Stammer doesn't fit "the timeline" for the rebuild but he might help the next few years, he turns 34 next month, how many years would he want?
ReplyDeleteRealistically it's doubtful he leaves Tampa, I still advocate for an extension for MonaHab, only 29 and drives play. He is worth far more than some late 1st round pick. A Grade 'A' prospect like Dach or Newhook in that age group has to be included otherwise no deal.
I'm with you on this, the M. Letting $Hab go is a bad idea unless they can turn around and sign him July 1. Then again HuGo has shown a great depth of understanding of what players are out there and available. I trust any surprises they have in store.
DeletePretty sure Hugo gave their word on a trade to a contender
ReplyDeleteSo a first rounder is late but maybe we can scoop a prospect
Would mix well with our age group
Sad to see him go but he would have given us a first rounder and more
Great scoop for Hugo
Looking forward to hopefully many good things this month
We seriously need to look at our forwards
Go Habs
Maybe Kent takes the late first (and a prospect?) for $Hab and turns that pick and the other first from Calgary he also got for him into an off season trade to pick up a known commodity that can score goals. Not sure whom that might be mind you. As a renowned former GM once said, trading is hard.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you can't trade for 1st line centers...
DeleteI'm sure you guys have seen the story about Kid KoHo's travails in Carolina, very little point production, dropped to the 4th line, etc. Looks like that little revenge escapade has come back to bite those arseholes hard. Looks good on them. Even the annoying Grant Mccagg has admitted KoHo is a bust, never should have gone 3rd overall.
