Calm down. 1) Bringing Fowler up will ruin him just like we did with Primeau. Fowler time will come…in the future. 2) no MSL is not the problem, no he has not lost the dressing room. The team is in a slump…ask the Oilers how that works. 3) Monty didn’t forget how to play, he will be fine…sometimes he sucks, but on,y sometimes. 4) the team is very young…they make loads of mistakes (see Hutson giving away 3 on 1s) …patience people, 2025 is not our time yet….patience!
I was at the game. Disappointing. Slav really needs to up his game. Goaltending is meh.
I'd rather miss the playoffs instead of calling up Fowler.
Monty is not good.
After noticing that Struble and Xhekaj were given extremely reduced minutes until the last minute of the game. (This happened after Evans’s hit). I’m starting to think that MSL doesn’t want his players to play hard and dirty. All if not most players are playing a lot less violent. Or did someone in media or some kind of public figure complain about the hard aggressive praying.
habs goaltending never the same after Roy and Price. This duo not consistent.
The Habs seem to be skidding so much that they may very well this season not see playoff action.
Fowler is too young..leave him in ahl…. this lousy play was EXPECTED. 2 midgets on defenceman.. then 9 million for a big guy who's not physical DOBSON. I remember when they got carriere last year everyone was saying how great an addition he was, final piece in defenceman rebuild. Couldn't understand why they went for a midget. Hutson IS too small for nhl. Gallagher midget……I think the entire league knows by now how to finish off habs in playoffs….pull a tom wilson…Evans tonight…caufield WILL get injured one day, not if, but when. So will hutson
Refs were bad for both sides, Wilson hit should have been a penalty that led to a goal. And a slash on feryvary’s stick that lead to a goal for the Habs. Both were bad for both
Spineless reaction when Demidov gets roughed up and Evans smashed out of the game by Wilson and no one steps up- disgraceful on home ice.
time to trade wifi while he still has some trade value, clearly not doing his job, and when he does he loses. NEXT!
bring up Kaapo Kahkonen
Montembeault is damaged goods. He's not a #1 goalie, hardly a backup.
Our golies right now are in a miserable place.
I just can't wait in 2 years to have Fowler in the net
I actually believe in that man ❤🔥
Bring Fowler
Let's be real, the defense sucks
I'd like to welcome all of you delusional talking heads to objective reality. Finally, you are recognizing what has been in right front of you for a couple of years now – that Montemblow is a massive BUST. It took you a while but happy to have you aboard., just don't let it happen again!
47 in 83-84 and won the cup 2 years later! Let Fowler develop and in 2 years we're golden!
Leave Fowler out of this mess , don't burn him !
NO!!!! yr making a MISTAKE— its the D! for DEFENCe thats the weak link… 28 th GOALS AGAINST…
What is Xhekaj and struble bring to the team at this point ? Did not do shit for the hit on Evans. They do not protect teamate, do not play physical and cant defend. This team lack phisicality so much I would over pay for Olivier.
It's not just the goalies. From missed opportunities to defence man on their ass.. its a collective mess for the Habs right now.
I mean There's a reason both our goaltenders are struggling, we have a D problem, too soft, giving them way too much space.
Yes we are productive and yes we have a couple talented defensemen on the team but that doesn't correlate to the fact that our defense game is abysmal.
Marty gets the Labubu prize for pulling the goalie with 3 minutes. It just wouldn't have felt so bad ending 6-4.
