Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

This is a tank. Plain and simple and MSL is the unwitting tank commander. The generals above sent them to slaughter.
I don’t believe that to be the case.

Post Laine & dare is say Redenbacher injuries, I believe the interim plan transformed into staying afloat till Laine returns.

6pts from Wildcard & 7pts from 3rd in division w games in hand, potentially less as US Thanksgiving approaches meets that mandate.

HuGo would not have acquired Laine, or gone after Marchessault as UFA if tanking was the goal… never was & still isn’t

A win tonight is 3-of-4pts in back to backs… forest from the trees

I do wonder if Laine plays tonight …

Laine was acquired to bridge the gap for a few years until Hage , Demigod and others are ready to truly help out

The Habs wont attract high end UFA`s and are not ready to throw stupid money on a player in a rebuild

Laine was the right fit , risk , and potential impact to give the team a boost .

Short term contract and simply walk away if it doesnt work .

Habs would need about 70-73 more points to make the playoffs , not happening

No one actually thought they were making the playoffs this season but there’s a continuum between tanking and being a playoff team and I believe that the plan/hope was to move along that continuum toward the making the playoff end of it.
 
Hughes/Gorton/Molson have been working the press in the background. A few days ago, Cuck Wilde was blueskying up a storm that even missing 8 years is "average" for a rebuild. Today Brunet wrote a similar article for LaPresse. How coincidental.

We are being greased that we won't see any meaningful games played in Montreal until 2028

They’re not wrong, unfortunately.

no one will ever convince me that a rebuild should take 8 years. I get that is the new coping mechanism but ffs, you and I will be in diapers again before we win a playoff game, let alone a cup.

Jr has already figured none of his favourite teams will ever win in his lifetime

Cowboys fan like you? If yes, he needn’t worry. NFL rebuilds can be very fast and regardless, he doesn’t live there or grew up there so he can pick a different team if need be.

Bulls, SF Giants, Cowboys and Canadiens.

He won't pick another team, he's 21 so he is hooked like I was by that age
 
A few more years to go , Habs will be fine
we will never win it all again, I have come to accept it. At least I can remember 6 championships even if I was very young for four of them. Expos died but I switched before they died to SF Giants so at least I have three from 2010-2014.

Cowboys meh, I remember 4.

As the saying goes, you pick your teams by 11 for the most part and let them ruin your mood for 70 years
 
Like I said, NFL rebuilds can be fast - free agents and you can find immediate starters well into the 3rd and 4th rounds of the draft. Just need an actual GM not the current owner-clown to oversee it.
Jerry ain't going away, only the good die young, unless his cheap ass sons can pull a coup and put him in a home, he is there for eternity.

As an aside, even you have to be shocked that Barkley isn't hurt yet, this has to be the first season he hasn't gotten injured.
