People need to chill

Most of you predicted a top-5 pick, now all of a sudden you expect Habs to play .700 hockey

I'm back on the top 5 pick bandwagon

 

[CH1]

I'm back on the top 5 pick bandwagon

I finally accept Hutson to be a gadget player

 

[worm]

Yeah, Hutson had a rough night.

Celebrini though

 

[Habsy]

If Dobes is better then he’s better.

Jack handy over here

 

[GEEMAN]

I was alluding to that just the other day. Fans are recency bias machines. Hutson was due for a setback. Just like Dach was due for a bump after we all gave up on him

Just like Jake who is pointless for 8 games

 

[east coast]

Fucking Dvorak.

I liked him more when he was just boring. Tonight, he was nauseating.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Just like Jake who is pointless for 8 games

His shooting percentage is down to 22% (not counting tonight's game, so it's actually lower now)

Reverting to the mean, as predicted. Hopefully all this crazy talk about resigning him dies down now.

 

[CH1]

They will still sign Jake.

 

[lecoqsportif]

They will still sign Jake.

And he’s getting cheaper.

 

[east coast]

I bear no hatred towards the Leafs, no matter how foreign that concept can be to you.

Not even when the announcers voices started to go high with excitement, like little girls?

 

[east coast]

Montembault was poor, no doubt. But IMO seven goals against in 30 minutes is a general systems failure. It’s ridiculous.

Yeah, the Leafs kicked our asses. Bad. No way to sugar coat that.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Not even when the announcers voices started to go high with excitement, like little girls?

Being in the US, I was the other team broadcast all the time, it doesn't bother me. I don't like the Leafs, they just don't bother me. Even worse, and I probably shouldn't say it here, but I kinda feel pity for them.

 

[east coast]

I thought we starting letting up in the second, and didn't generate much at that point. And what's this with letting an AHLer, Bobby McMann, take over the game? They seemed to have no answer for him at all, even from the start. Is that coaching related, I wonder?

Aside from all that, we might have come away with a win anyway with any kind of goaltending.

 

[Krustchev]

Yeah, the Leafs kicked our asses. Bad. No way to sugar coat that.

Not really. Monty blew.

 

[CH1]

Not really. Monty blew.

Finally. Someone had to say it. Thank you!

 

[Hoiles]

Lesson learned. Start Doby against the hard teams and Monty against the easy ones.

 

[Habsy]

I thought it should have been reversed. Could have gotten 3 or 4 points.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Yes! That's exactly who he reminds me of, Aebischer.

I was going to say Huet but Monty isn't even as consistent as Huet was. He is Aebischer (or perhaps Denis Herron)

 

[CH1]

Also learned that these Habs aren’t the best team in the league despite playing like it for a month

 

[Habsy]

Again. You can't play your game when your goalie is letting in very stoppable shots.
