WE NOW KNOW WHAT THE MONTREAL CANADIENS’ BIGGEST PROBLEM IS…

[Music] yeah today I wanted to get all philosophical on y’all because what I wanted to do was focus on the Montreal Canadians and what’s really going on here what is the real problem with the Habs in 2024 2025 is there even a problem is this a big deal I will say part of the reason we are making this video is because I feel like there’s been a sense of panic with the Canadians fan base the past few weeks that has built up after an off season that I think most Canadians fans would say was a good one they drafted Ivan demidov they got Patrick l they resigned some guys they did some very good things to build for their future but the Habs this season have not gotten off to a hot start they’ve been very inconsistent they have not been winning too many games and quite frankly I feel like even though the Canadians are objectively a better team a lot of the guys that are here on this team that are supposed to be top guys are better than they were let’s say two years ago or 3 years ago maybe last year you could say that Suzuki and Coffield and slavkovsky maybe some of these guys were a bit better last year but some of the other results from this year you can’t really argue I mean Cole Coffield scoring the lights out that’s not something that he did last year y lovsky okay maybe he’s looking a little bit worse Nick Suzuki maybe he’s looking a little bit worse but at the end of the day it’s another year of progression for a lot of these these guys in the HS and they think despite that there’s a bigger more growing sentiment of pessimism around the fan base why is that where is that coming from what’s the real problem with the Canadians let’s go out there and refer to a tweet made by Brian wild where he goes out there and promotes an article that he wrote on globalnews.ca this is the Call of the Wild article focusing mostly on the historical perspective of a rebuild hint it’s not done at the start of year 3 you could pretty much infer what wild is talking about here by saying that the Montreal Canadians at the start of the third year of this rebuild are bad yes but at the start of the third year of a rebuild you’re not supposed to be great so wild made this article and I wanted to read to you a tweet made by my buddy Hattie who went out there and responded to this idea too to Echo Brian’s point in 2013 the Toronto M beliefs got ousted in 7 by Boston effectively marking the start of their rebuild in 2014 to 2016 the Leafs pick neander Marner and Matthews back to back in 2025 to 2027 the NHL drafts have impressive top end Talent so there’s no rush for the Montreal Canadians you got to remember for Montreal they made the finals in 2021 okay fantastic they lost fine who cares 2022 they go out there and use their first round pick to select Yuri lvovsky first overall Guy start of the rebuild great in 2023 the Montreal Canadians use their fifth overall pick to select Ryan Boer okay maybe not the ideal pick but he was still there 2024 Ivan debie Dov to compare this timeline with the Toronto Maple leavs it took them 4ish years to fully get back into the swing of things and start being competitive again for the Canadians it’s kind of the beginning of the third year so there still is a bit more development to be had Hattie then goes out there and replies saying that everything the havs need to pull off this rebuild is effectively there loads of picks good scouting great Player Development A young roster that’ll lose enough games to keep adding top talent while facing adversity as a group and Veterans willing to teach why is everybody panicking and what I love about Hattie is the self-reflection that he frequently does because he then replied to this tweet saying this I’ve come to a conclusion about why some Habs fans are frust at they want to be entertained I don’t blame those of you that this applies to the HS were bad last year but still very entertaining now they’re just bad it feels like regression and this is probably the most agreeable part of the entire conversation the Habs being bad is one thing but the Habs being unwatchable is another seeing some of the top guys like Nick Suzuki like yurovsky not really be as effective visually as they have been in the past is quite daunting seeing Kirby dock go through a little bit of a rough patch after some good stretches is kind of daunting seeing the defensive structure completely break down and the team rely on Lane Hudson a firste rookie to do things that nobody else on this team can do is kind of concerning and then seeing every other defenseman not named Lan Hudson not be able to hold up their end of the bargon defensively is also concerning for sure so the Montreal Canadians have enough problems and have enough aspects that you can say are disappointing compared to the expectations that it makes the overall product that much worse because Montreal while they weren’t supposed to necessarily be better than they were last year they were already kind of fun to watch last year so at least maintaining that level of fun whilst maybe getting a few extra wins here and there would have been the preferred outcome for this season at the beginning of the year but there are so many warts and so many problems that they still have not been able to iron out that it feels a lot worse than last year a reply by Gabriel goes out there and says this fans can accept that the team is losing what’s troubling is how most of the young Corp outside of Hudson has been playing worse than last season yes Coffield scored goals but his defensive play has been abysmal like the rest of the top six Kirby do new hook Suzuki guys have not necessarily been great even though they were supposed to take a step forward because I think traditionally people look at younger guys in the NHL and they say yeah oh he’s 24 years old he’s going to be better next year he’s going to be even more crazy next year he’s going to get more points next year usually we think about progression as a linear thing but that’s not really the case when talking about professional hockey athletes at the highest level sure I’d say the majority of hockey players go through some sort of a rough linear development where they slowly get better year by year maybe sometimes they’ll have a down year and then they’ll explode even further afterwards but it’s just kind of unfortunate for Montreal that the down year seems to be affecting multiple guys in the top six at the same time which makes it feel like there is some stagnation and some backwards progression here even though rebuilds take time and I don’t think anybody was really considering Montreal to be a playoff lock in 2025 anyway even though cooler heads prevailing will say with a rational mind hey they’re not supposed to be great them losing games is actually good because they up their chances at getting the first overall pick again and by the time 2025 2026 rolls around hopefully you get past those slower developments and you’re able to get better so I want you to let me know your thoughts in the comment section below firstly what do you think about this idea do you think the real problem with the Canadians isn’t necessarily that they’re bad but that they’re boring that the team isn’t presenting much entertainment value on the ice outside of the occasional Cole Coffield goal and the occasional Lane Hudson whoopy dooo at the Blue Line what are your thoughts on the Canadian’s quality of play in terms of being entertaining or engaging to watch as a fan base and do you think it’s worse than it was last season do you think this plays into the Canadians fan base at the moment and how it feels a little bit more Doom and Gloom than it did last season let me know your thoughts in the comment section below how do you feel about Canadians fans psyche psychology and what are your thoughts on how the team is impacting these factors is this really that big of a deal because if you think at the end of this video you watch the entire thing through if you’re thinking to yourself yeah this doesn’t really matter like the Canadians are still going to be the Canadians whether or not they suck in 24 25 or if they don’t if this doesn’t matter then hey you can let me know your thoughts in the comments section below about that as well but the Munch Canadians yay or nay entertaining or boring is this the biggest problem at the moment let me know your thoughts in the comment section below I hope you enjoyed this 99 and bye [Music] a [Music]
