Go Habs Go!

[Doc Holliday]

I figured the Habs would have done much better this year, had a higher expectation of Mountembeault.

Monty is pretty much what i expected. I never considered him to be a bonafide #1. I’ve mostly seen him as a solid #2 who’s better sharing the net with a veteran #1 goaltender.

I hate to say this but the biggest problem with the team is the inexperienced coaching staff. The habs should not be a kindergarten for inexperienced coaches who want to learn how to coach in professional hockey. Looking at the habs there is no accountability for poor uninspired play & there is zero fear on the part of the players. What this need needs is a tough asshole type as coach. A type who doesn’t take any bullshit & if you don’t put in the effort & play well then you don’t get to play & we’ll find somebody else who wants to play. A John Tortorella type. A Ken Hitchcock type. A badass!

It’s not as if the Habs are small! Lol, they actually rank #5 at 204 lbs average. The problem is that their young big players seriously lack grit, and a few veterans could surely play a bit harder, like Anderson and Armia for instance.

Anderson, Armia, Dach & Slafkovski come to mind. Big players who don’t take advantage of their size.

These guys don’t survive in the league anymore, watch Tort go, he is closer to the door than he is to fame. I don’t think Brière will let him take his players down in the media very long.

I’ll be shocked if Torts is replaced this season. Briere loves him. He loves the fact he holds players accountable unlike MSL. Torts has his own style & he does it for the good of the players. He shouldn’t be confused with Mike Babcock, who is simply a very mean, manipulative asshole!

Hearing that the Bruins were offering three years max to keep Monty & he balked at their offer knowing fully well what hos market value was out there & stuck to his guns with his demand for a five-year contract. It’s also fairly known among insiders that Monty was expecting to get fired if the Bruins blew the series against the Leafs last season. As we know the Leafs came back from being down 3-1 and tied the series to only lose in overtime in game 7. After blowing a 3-1 lead to Florida in the previous opening series of the playoffs Bruims management weren’t going put up with it two years in a row. When the Bruins finally beat the Leafs St-Louis removed the interim title & signed Bannister. Had the Bruins lost to Toronto people close to the Blues say Doug Armstrong would have been on the phone with Monty the minute he got fired.

Torts has his own style & he does it for the good of the players.

Torts intentions are always good, and I believe he’s still a good coach. That being said, he often ends up publicly pointing fingers at some players and that, rarely ends up well. Although if the Flyers manage to keep their head above the.500 mark, his boss will probably be more patient. And, to tell the truth, I still find his cockiness with the media very entertaining!

Yeah, for now, Brière loves him, until he doesn’t anymore! How many times have we heard some GM stating they have full trust in their coaches only to see the coach getting fired the next week?

The thing people (and players) have always loved about Torts is that he never plays favorites & all players are treated equally by him. If you’re a superstar on the team or a 4th line player &. he feels you’re not pulling your weight he won’t hold nothing back & he’ll let you know it. Players actually respect this & later they usually admit that he’s made them better for it. It ain’t childish mindgames like Mike Babcock or Mike Keenan are notorious of using.

And that’s the problem with MSL. He plays favorites & there is rarely any accounts or punishment for star players who aren’t not putting in the effort they’re expected to.

Imagine being one of those suckers who paid hundreds of dollars to attend & spend at the game! Lol

I’m actually amazed that people who even pay a penny to attend ome of those games when they could simply save their money & watch it on tv. Unreal!

Years ago i was in Mtl & had a ticket for a playoff game between the Habs and the Bruins. A couple of hours before the game i decided to put my ticket for sale to see if there was any interest. About 15 minutes later i received several offers & ended up selling my ticket for a $400 profit. That night i used the money to buy a case of beer, ordered a pizza & watched the game in my hotel room. After the game i spent the balance of the money i made & called an escort. I made a great deal! Lol

Tu gagnes pas trop quand tu shoot seulememt 13 fois dans toute la partie! Ca n’aurais meme pas ete proche si ca n’aurait pas ete pour Monty. Il a ete fabuleux!

A couple of hours before the game i decided to put my ticket for sale to see if there was any interest.

I did the same years ago, my cousin had 2 great tickets and couldn’t attend. I told him if he didn’t find any takers 1 hour before the start of the game to let me know. I wasn’t interested to go sit inside an arena watching 2 bad teams. Regular season game, Habs vs Buffalo.

So he reached me on later and still had the tickets, I told him I was going to sell them. I drove to his place, grab the tickets and went straight to the BC, parked the car de la Montagne, walked down to the corner of Saint-Antoine. I shout "tickets ", sure enough there was 6 guys around me in seconds. After a 5 minutes auction I was back in my car with $700. I called Joe Beef, got a table, then called my favorite squeeze and said "hey! Let’s go eat!".

 

[gaby]

Well.....notre Capitaine a réglé ça en ot...bien fait,.beau but......pas un match qui va passer à l'histoire....But a win is a win.....et la dinde va avoir meilleur goût....lolll

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

En effet, pas un grand match et, avouons le, Suzuki était, encore pas mal invisible avant son but gagnant. Mais j’ai trouvé que Josh Anderson fait tout un travail en désavantage numérique. En troisième il a réussi à aller mettre de la pression jusque derrière le filet des Jackets, pour ensuite être le premier de retour dans son territoire pour défendre. Son coup de patin est probablement le meilleur de son équipe et quand il s’en sert il est utile!

 

[bodick7]

Hier, je ne me suis pas endormi. Suis d’accord que ce n’était pas un grand match mais ils ont décidé de sortir leurs bottes de travail. Quand ils font ça, je ne m’endort jamais même s’ils perdent.
On a eu quelques beaux flashs en deuxième d’une équipe talentueuse qui travaille ensemble. Une certaine cohésion d’une équipe qui reprend confiance.
Faut juste que ça dure, surtout contre des équipes bien structurées comme les Rangers…mais ça va prendre encore quelques saisons à moins que le DG ne sortent quelques lapins de son chapeau.

 

[TheBlob]

On a gagné! On a gagné! Ça sent la.....

Bon ok, j'arrête le sarcasme.

J'en viens presque à oublier le goût de la victoire.

 

[bodick7]

Moi ca me derangerait pas qu’ils perdent toutes leurs parties excepté celles contre Toronto et surtout Boston. Les partisans les plus détestables de la ligue
La dernière fois qu’ils ont perdus a Boston, leurs partisans chantaient “Ohe, Ohe, Ohe…Ohe,Ohe”.
Plus baveux que ca tu meurs

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

L’an prochain Juraj Slafkovský va gagner $7.6 M. Sera t’il à la hauteur? Comment va t’il gérer la pression qui, inévitablement, vient avec ce genre de contrat? C’est une entente de 8 ans, en passant!!!

Personnellement quand j’ai appris, en juillet, la signature de cette entente, j’ai sursauté! Je me suis dit "Hugues vient de faire un Bergevin de lui-même! Et maintenant, j’avoue que je ne suis toujours pas rassuré.
