Talking of LAVAL....they are on fire this year sous la direction de VINCENT.....and DOBES is hot.....
Go Habs Go!
- Thread starter talkinghead
- Start date
Laval does indeed have a very good team. The players there are very fortunate to be coached by a real NHL coach with decades of competitive coaching experience. The most qualified coach in the entire organization.
They lost their last two but both games were very close & the Rocket could have won both. I liked Hughes’ game last night. He’s a good veteran goalie to support Dobes.
Friend of mine at the Habs game tonight sent me this picture halfway in the third period. Sad.
Dach needs to be downgraded somehow, Laval?.... for the rest there needs to be leadership... I really love Suzuki, I do... but do we need another leader?
Dach needs to be benched instead of constantly being rewarded with PP time. Putting him in the press box for a few games wouldn’t hurt. I believe he’d have to clear waivers in order to be sent to Laval so that’s a non-starter.
As for Suzuki i’ve never seen him as a leader. He looks too quiet to be a leader & doesn’t seem to like being in front of the cameras. Personally i would have given the captaincy to someone like Gallagher or maybe David Savard. Sure Savard is probably gone by the end of this season however they could have given him the ‘C’ two years ago & give it to someone else next season or so.
The 2nd period was indeed a disaster. After two periods the Habs had only 8 shots on goal. Hard to win games or be competitive when you barely get any shots at the opposing goalie.
I’m surprised anyone would pay more than $100 to attend this game in person. As if the habs had any chance against a team as good as Vegas! Anyways as long as fans continue attending games & spending their hard- earned money on expensive beer & overpriced crappy junk food then upper management will be in no rush to make the necessary changes.
If i were a local hockey fan i’d save my money & spend it instead to watch the Rocket,, who are playing great inspiring hockey in one of the AHL’s most beautiful arenas.
The Golden Knights treated the Habs very abusively. Now you know how Carolina Panther fans feel.
Saturday night home games are not supposed to go like this.

J'ai switché aux SENS à 4-0.....un peu mieux MAIS pas tant...lol...4ème défaite consécutive...une équipe jeune /pleine de promesses....MAIS qui s'éteint tranquillement avec une défensive absolument défaillante.
I'm glad i was attending a show downtown yesterday evening and couldn't watch hockey. Looks like it was an horror movie, again.
Ça ressemble étrangement à une description du Canadiens! Lol
This morning a buddy of mine who’s a Sens fan called me in a panic “What the hell is wrong with my Senators? I think they may end up missing the playoffs again!”
I told him it’s the same problems as in the past. A young defence that all plays the same way. Offence first. Not enough veterans on the team other than Giroux & Perron. Below-average goaltending. No third & fourth lines. I added that they have away the only defences that i liked last season (Jacob Chychrun).
What do you mean? The Leafs are once again among the top teams in hockey & looking at winning the conference this season. Watching the Leafs during the regular season has become boring since they’re expected to win every game & every season are already in the playoffs even before the season as started.Well, maybe they’re suffering from the Maple Leaf’s syndrome!
By the way…did anyone enjoy watching McDavid & the Oilers massacre the Rangers last night in Edmonton ? Wow!
Nah, there’s only that much time I can spend watching sports or anything else. I have to choose carefully, and watching the Habs hasn’t been very enjoyable lately! Lol
Alors petit bilan des HABS en quart de saison/20 games....avec 16 points se retrouvent avec les HAWKS au dernier rang de la lique....et avec une cédule favorable.....à partir de maintenant les games vont s'accélérer et avec les autres équipes
qui vont devenir de plus en plus compétitives....cela n'annonce rien de bon pour la suite des choses....grosse lutte pour la 32ème place à prévoir????....lolllll.

I made a quick evaluation and the Golden Knights players weight on average 20 pounds more than those of the Habs !
This doesn't have to be the case- a professional hockey team has the ability to choose what players to roster through the draft and free agency processes. You don't have to have a roster 20 pounds less on average than other NHL teams.
NHL teams also have the ability to both feed and strength and weight train their players. The Habs are not restricted from doing so to my knowledge.
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.
