I also think the Habs will ultimately make the
playoffs BUT

Hudon, Mete and McCarron are all basically question marks at the NHL level (I haven't heard anything about McCarron recently, injured?), Hemsky isn't very good and they also lost Markov who was a pretty huge part of their D.

McCarron is back in the AHL.

 

[Solo]

He really has been good for this team so far.

He was pretty good for Montreal too. Just incorrectly utilizied under Therrien. Shocker.

Habs are missing the playoffs this year.

People who followed the first couple of games in Laval said McCarron looked terrible even at the AHL level

 

[Unhandled Exception]

18 pts in 22 games. And honestly I liked Martinsen's style a lot but I knew he wasn't long for the league.

 

[Hazu]

Crawford with a quality shot on Price, hehe.

 

[Solo]

McCarron is a bust. Just like Nikita Scherbust, Danny Busto, Louis LeBust, and a long line of Habs busts.

 

[imBask]

Nice move by Hudon, he's been pretty bad so far but there are so many other targets that he's being ignored

Subban and McDonagh though.. Oh, nevermind.

Lehkonen and Him have been trying so hard to get something going.

If Toronto beats Montreal on Saturday and I hope they do. Maybe Management will wake up then.

Look, the seats being empty does NOT mean it's alright to use them as your litter box. Chill.

 

[Solo]

TFW it's only 4 games into an 82 fucking game season and you already know your team isn't making the playoffs. Feels a lot like the season the Jays just had where they stumbled out of the gate and were immediately eliminated, not mathemically, but in terms of morale.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Well that was a super weird White House visit.

No cup no jersey and Crosby stayed way in the back.

Still shitty they went.

last time we clowned montreal, all they did was get an enforcer

 

[dr.rocktopus]

I'm assuming there is some pregame stuff Vegas is doing that Gamecentre is not showing 😒

Leipsic on the third line :')

Yeah. IT’S JUST PRESEASON!

 

[Ondor]

We're sloppy tonight

Fire everyone

Haven't been able to watch the game but I second this, lol

 

[bonesmccoy]

Carey doesn't deserve this

J0E

 

[ElephantShell]

Did the Habs game end up selling out afterall?

 

[Ondor]

Burrows is such a good guy.

 

[imBask]

Did the Habs game end up selling out afterall?

we'll know for sure tomorrow, but my prediction is : no

 

[Solo]

Alex Ovechkin scored as many goals in one game as Montreal has in 4. Fucking LOL.

 

[Ondor]

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Marvie_3]

 

[DopeyFish]

lol nucks

 

[Cake Boss]

LMAO the guy who shouldn't be named.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Toronto needs to destroy us Saturday

 

[Red_Man]

They came out blazing, but one of the biggest issues this team has always dealt with is confidence in their shooting and it showed tonight. Again they're outshooting the opponent, just not cashing in on their chances. They went 9-0-1 last year and didn't last as long as the Sens or Leafs, so panicking now is tiresome, but Julien definitely has work to do. I wonder how long it takes Jerabek to come up from Laval.

Claude Julien hasn't done anything so far (can't blame him with the same he has to work with though).
Drouin isn't better than Radulov right now.
We "added" Mete but lost Sergatchev.
We "added" Hudon but lost Andrighetto (who's been playing at almost one PPG since being traded).
McCarron is a bust.
Hemsky is awful (might as well sign Iginla).

Oh, and we lost Markov for absolutely nothing. Great!

- Drouin is younger and at least as good as Radulov right now
- Mete looks better now, a year younger, than Sergachev did last season, no doubt Sergachev will be a better player, but does anyone regret that trade?
- I wish the best for Andrighetto, and I'm happy he's succeeding, but he's also playing on the top line of a last place team. That trade was beyond stupid, and good for the Avs for capitalizing, but the second they're a playoff team, he'll be lucky to be on the 3rd line
- McCarron's getting there, I expected him to at least make the team this year, his lack of progress is definitely concerning
- Way too many penalties, still only 1 M at the end of the day

That shit was awkward as fuck. Trump acting like he knows stuff about hockey, ewww.

 

[Clockblockers]

glad Crow stood tall while the hawks found their legs

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Is that Peewee???

 

[dr.rocktopus]

watch us play.
it's not bad luck.

I'm sorry for doubting you bask

 

[imBask]

Galchenyuk for Desharnais y/n ?

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Hartnell's had a pretty good game

 

[Hazu]

Probably, they were only a few hundred tickets away from selling out. Still, for an home opener game against a team like the Blackhacks, that's a really concerning situation.

 

[ElephantShell]

Speaking of not selling out, looks like a shitload of empty seats at the Canucks game.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Toronto needs to destroy us Saturday

Yet we all know what will happen

Habs will win, Molson will triple down on Berge, Berge will trade Pacioretty for Lucic.

 

[mo60]

Alex Ovechkin scored as many goals in one game as Montreal has in 4. Fucking LOL.

Has a single player ever gotten more goals then a single team in a NHL season?

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Just you wait till you see our home opener

Just you wait my man

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Galchenyuk for Desharnais y/n ?

Galchenyuk for RNH


Please

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Arvy doing the spinarooni

 

[Ondor]

TANEV!

The new clutch!

 

[Fata1moose]

Just you wait my man

I quite easily got tickets to Friday's game against the Ducks. I couldn't go to the opener, but when I was looking at tickets, there were plenty available.

 

[ElephantShell]

Canucks fans, what are average ticket prices like these days? I still have never been to an NHL game and they're the closest team, I really should try to hit one up someday.

 

[Pikma]

It's amusing how stupid you don't realize this sounds.

 

[Huntersknoll]

I'd like to thank the preds for letting the flyers take the lead. You guys are the best
