Yeah I'm actually starting to imagine it unfortunately. Still can't bring myself to actually believing it though.

It's over. Wehave called it.



Sals fault though (and Stinky)

 

[GEEMAN]

1 out of a possible 4 points versus the second worst team in the league. And those blown points are going to be the ones we wound up needing

It evens out , how many points did goalies steal or points won in general that the Habs had no business getting all year

Goalies? Not too many. Our goaltending is mediocre at best. If we make the playoffs it’s more despite our goaltending.

 

[Rolex]

That breakaway goal Monty should have stopped....in a must-win game like this, you need to make that save....i don't care if your save % is better than the Hawks goalie...the difference is that Hawks goalie made the opportun saves that allowed his team to crawl back in the game

Most of Habs goals even Hasek wouldn't have stopped them....can't say the same about Monty's goals

The one consistent team character trait since the uptick in Dec has been resiliency…. it’s part of this rosters DNA.

This year every facet made a contribution in some way

 

[Krustchev]

The goalies the least . . . by a fair margin.

Need a really good 2C, a top D and a better goalie in order to actually compete

You realize that HuGo know that, and that this is only year 3.5 of the rebuild, right? And the franchise player is finally here.

 

[Habsy]

I wouldn't bring goaltending into this argument. For every game they stole they gave away two. The goaltending is pedestrian.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

And the franchise player is finally here.

Really? Did someone forget to mention that to MSL before the shootout last night?

 

[Habsy]

Yes but they've needed runway to be resilient. Losing 5 games straight twice etc. They're running out of runway.

 

[Habsy]

Rinse repeat

Unforced errors

I wouldn't go that far. We've been outshot by opponents most of the time.

We're 17-10-1 when outshooting opponents, 21-19-10 when being outshot.

Goalies have stolen quite a bit of points.

Exactly , goalies get too much blame around here

Monty has played 61 games , 2.82 GAA and .901 SV%

Team gets pinned in our zone quote often , all in all the year is a success

Yeah you're looking at this myopically and not in a game situation vein. The 30,000 foot view you're using doesn't tell the whole story.

Goaltending let this team down a lot.

Except monty has always had around 0.900 in his career so yeah, fuck that narrative.

You can’t be more “meh” than Monty. We need Fowler.

 

[Habsy]

Yeah people backing Monty are just trying to be "fair" to him. It's not his fault the team has to tap his shoulder so often. He is what he is and that's not a 60 game starter.
