Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[GEEMAN]

Only one of them plays hockey. The older one swims. I’m sure that Julien can shoot a puck. What I would not want is some total non-athletic analytics geek in charge. I think you need some sense/understanding of the competitive part of the sport, not just the numbers or metrics that underlie performance. But that’s just me.

2/3 of your battle is COMMON SENSE and putting smart people in the correct roles

I don't know how you guys are still motivated to follow this team after years of lies and BS.
Don't get me wrong, i love Habs and followed this team during miserable years of late 90, but i feel people in charge back to the time were more honest and wouldn't BS fans and find 1000 excuses as much as now.
I am not excited about us making playoff (which never was the case before) and i don't try to be negative but even if this team by miracle beats Leafs, this is not a good team at all

Or wait for it, people realize it’s an imperfect sport with imperfect officiating, imperfect management and a whole bunch of internal politics. Knowing this we simply say meh and get on with our day.

Yeah it could be worse, like living under the rule of Ayatollahs.

The rule of Ayatollah lasting over 40 years. You don't wish that for Habs with MB lol

Even if the Quebec government takes 50% of it.

Tell me about it. I'm always reminded of it when I do any overtime.

I like the chemistry being developed between Suzuki and Caufield. I hope that continues.

Looks like there will some fans allowed into the Bell Centre for the playoffs. About damn time.

My concern about CC is 5 on 5. And winning battles along the board and keeping puck position, the kid will be eventually fine.

That’s always been the concern and he’s excelled at every level.

Yestarday i was actually focusing on him. He was losing the puck quite few times along the board or generally but it is normal, he will learn and become better.

 

[Krustchev]

Just has to adjust to less space 5 on 5 . . . and better goalies.

need more focus on what he can do and not what he cant do
especially at this point in his career
