Holy shit the D is leaky

 

[lecoqsportif]

[Habsy]

Same old Habs. Can't capitalize.

 

[lecoqsportif]

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Lottery pick, here we come!

 

[Krustchev]

Need more than one line to win in the NHL.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Apparently top 7 picks is where you wanna be…

 

[lecoqsportif]

Need more than one line to win in the NHL.

We have one?

 

[Krustchev]

We have one?

In theory.

 

[Habsy]

This is not a well coached team.

I know, unpopular opinion around these parts.

 

[lecoqsportif]

In theory.

Caufield has been OK. Others… meh.

 

[CH1]

Lane played over 30 mins. crazy.

That’s the strategy, apparently.

 

[wiseguy1]

Mailloux, on his way

my theory for a while now (subject to change) is that Marty's system is too complex for his players. I mostly see players being indecisive and thinking just a split second more than they should be

Soon he will be an assistant coach in Vegas.

re: St. Louis.

Most know my opinion on him, but let's play devil's advocate for discussion's sake... Y'all gonna start looking at the players soon?

my expectations for this season were muted...I mostly watch to see the kids play well.

A question some fans of this team, both here & elsewhere, are soon going to have to ask themselves:

How many players on this team are actually going to be contributors to a legitimate contending team?

For example, on D, I think there's only two players that might be here: Guhle & Hutson.

For forwards, I've always been the opinion Suzuki's a #2 center, not a #1. If he's your #1 center and you're trying to win, this is the Saku Koivu scenario all over again. I think Slafkovsky's the only forward on this team that's a legit first line player.
