@Sachtradamus Lots to be excited about. The Habs were never going to take Michkov so I don’t know what the fuss is about. That’s just not the sort of thing they do. Instead we now get to look forward to seeing a top pair Dman in the next couple of seasons.
@BWildeMTL The people who can't comprehend this are the ones that believe in making the playoffs because "anything can happen" rather than slowly building a team with odds tilted in its favour. Impossible to get through to these people because they're always riding on hope and miracles.
@MimiLeMeow Soooooo.....broflakes are telling on themselves because they're mad that people might he held to account for their shitty/criminal behaviour?
Le reproche que le CH ne repêche pas assez de Québécois, coule sur le dos de la direction, comme sur le dos d'un canard. Zéro jusqu'à maintenant. Heureusement, il y a les Ducks.#NHLDraft@CanadiensMTL
@HabsWatch@Parante17 @HABraCHadabra @MarahFA@KamalPanesar Yep. Another rebuild-on-the-fly is as good as it will ever get under Molson. After 4 of 7 season out of the playoffs (including covid gift berth), shareholders have 0 appetite for more years out of the picture. They'll go straight for 8th as soon as next season if they help it.
@Parante17 @HABraCHadabra @MarahFA@HabsWatch@KamalPanesar This Hughes quote says otherwise. Read into it what you will, but what we know of Molson is that he wants that playoff money yesterday.
@MarahFA@HabsWatch@Parante17@KamalPanesar Chaotic fun, sure. But I'm not so sure it's wise (or possible) to build a culture of winning while getting dummied every night because the defense is so bad.
@HabsWatch@Parante17@KamalPanesar@MarahFA It's tight for sure. But IIRC, Hughes has already said that he would be shopping for a veteran D, so I assume he will make the rest work....for better or worse. But there's no way they trot 3 rookie D out there and expect to be competitive (which they do).
@HabsWatch@Parante17@KamalPanesar@MarahFA As the D currently stands? Yeah most likely. We'll see what unfolds in free agency/trade. I can't imagine they start the year with an on-the-block Petry, Edmundson, Wideman, and a glut of untested kids (and if I were Price, I might accidentally on purpose slip on a banana peel).
@MarahFA@Parante17@HabsWatch@KamalPanesar Yeah those of us in this thread probably agree. Expand that out to the entire fandom and the impatient/fed-up segments will probably think the whole HuGo rebuild is a disaster.
@HabsWatch@Parante17@KamalPanesar@MarahFA It was rhetorical. ;)
Of course not. If Price/Allen are healthy and play average hockey - if CC scores at a decent clip - If MSL pushes the team forward even a little bit, they are out of the top-10 barring a trade.
Last year's 1st 3 months were an unprecedented shit show.
Some Bell customers may be experiencing issues when trying to call or text Rogers subscribers due to current interruptions in Rogers network services. The Bell network is operational and calls and texts between Bell customers or to other providers are not impacted.
@Parante17@HabsWatch@KamalPanesar@MarahFA We remember the inept team from '21-'22, right? The 55pt team that only showed signs of life after MSL arrived? Are we ready for another year of that? Can we keep our collective shit together without demanding for heads to roll?
