So, Rantanen in the offseason? 😉
Maybe the road trip is what they need.
I m so tired to hear about excuses like « they are tired ». Millionaires traveling first class, dietetists, trainers, psychological support. No ones gonna cry. They rest and lost. Give me a break about juice.
What happens if Reinbacher turns out to be the player they drafted. I didn't hear his name 🤔
Strubble is in a learning position .hopefully he will get enough ice time and get better.
Maybe they can trade Gallagher and retain some salary.
The difference between State free taxes States vs the others will get wider, they better do something about this soon.
This free agent season is trending to become the anchor season. From past experiences, I'm pretty sure a tons of GMs will over spent.
Prime example might be Evans. If anyone doubted a GM would offer him Danault-ish contract, well, let's see!
I don't get why you are that harsh when it is not going well and have that much difficulty being hype when it is positive…it is just a recipe for depression. I think ''not enough juice'' reference long term strain on your endurance (physically and mentally)… so they can't rest this in a day or two day break… i don't get how you can't consider that… Being a ''younger'' team can help to a certain extent (more juice but not better at managing it). Being one of, if not the youngest team clearly is a disadvantages… I am sad to see the propensity to just bash them if they have a bad streak is always so close… they were not suppose to do the playoff, they have good pieces for the future… give them a break…
I think right now apart from Suzuki, Guhle is the toughest player to replace in the Canadiens
A time will come when when we will win games just because of our talent. We are not there yet.
To me this loss was more on the coaching staff than on the players, most of a match up and defense pairing issue. Also, we often blame ourselves when we lose, but we have to give credit to the Wild who played a perfect vintage ´00 Devils game, they gave barely nothing and Fleury played like a prime Brodeur.
J’ai l’impression qu’on ne fera rien ou peu cette année en terme d’échanges, qu’on va évaluer l’équipe l’an prochain avec Demidov et possiblement Reinbacher, et on déterminera en 2026 1. Si on garde Laine et à quel prix 2. Si on signe un gros agent libre.
So we traded a problem in Barron just to claim Bogvist… who's another Barron.
For those who think is reasonable to give Evans 3.5 M$ for 5 years: think about the Ghule injuries, Evans concussions, and the salaries Demidov & Hudson are gonna require (we'll be more than happy to pay both). The cap is gonna be absorb by the market within 2-3 years
Not sure if you understand and get the right picture ???? Lets be reel here, They are not un cup contender. Right ??? So, this is a rebuild and this is ONE step. They are in the mix, they were NOT really be in the series this year…
You seem to be the kind of Oh, they are not wining, the rebuild is a failures and then, they are winning, they will be a cup contenders. Lets be real please.
As an American fan who is learning French (slowly but surely), I would absolutely LOVE if you guys started doing French language content!!! Please consider bringing this back to the podcast; there's simply no substitute for immersive learning ❤
Canadian dollar could crash
This is going to sound crazy but this nightmare started roughly when they started double shifting people to compensate for Pezzeta. I'm not saying pezzeta is a good replacement for heinemann, but imo they should have played him regularly with that 4th line. He didn't look terrible in the shifts he played, except for a couple bad penalties. Double shifting wingers game after game has probably contributed to the burnout.
"Minnesota's a pretty good team, they got a 25-3 record on the road"
That's not a good team, that's a homewrecker 💀💀💀
