GDT: Carolina Hurricanes @ Canadiens - Feb 7, 2016 - 2:30 pm ET

[Habsy]

Can't even tank right...

 

[Sal_Butera]

Habs need Scrivens to get a horseshoe stuck up his ass for this game and the next 6....

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Yup - better to accept that fact, and hope they get in as opposed to missing the playoffs AND winding up with a #12-14 overall pick. #ultimatedisaster

How is squeaking into the playoffs and being humiliated in the first round "better" than finishing out of the playoffs with a slightly higher draft ranking? I don't give a shit about Molson's playoff revenue. He doesn't deserve any. Additionally, making the playoffs will only serve to perpetuate the status quo. The only way things change is if they crater and are left completely exposed as a fraud.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

He has played well back to back games.

 

[Habsy]

You guys are really hoping for a rally? Really?

Let me put it this way, if the Habs miss the playoffs by a point or two, official company line will be "we lost out because of the Price injury" and no changes will be made either by the owner or by the GM - MT will be back in again next season......

That would be unfortunate.

Even if you are right, the players will not deliberately lose.

I will be shocked if dickhead is behind the bench next season

You have to intentionally tank in management. Like the Pens did in 84.

 

[Habsy]

Maybe the players aren't scoring enough because they just don't want to hear that gay ass goal song. My goodness it's the worst one in history.

Bernie is stubborn so nothing would surprise me.

 

[Sal_Butera]

If they just miss making it in, he'll be back, and everyone will be given the std line: "no screwing around this season"

 

[Habsy]

Guaranteed.

 

[xposbrad]

Edmonton is going to end up for sure with a top 2 pick again, this is nuts.

 

[Habsy]

They'll probably trade down to get one of the D available.

 

[xposbrad]

we need condon back in nets

 

[Habsy]

Yeah, where the **** did this version of Scrivens come from?

 

[northernlou]

gotta salvage his career

 

[Habs-25]

We shouldn't give up Canes any point today if we want have little hope.
