We should start talk about a getting a NHL ready goalie 🙁
“Oh do you know the muffin man”
Can Mtl trade Monty for the Zamboni driver that played for Carolina who beat the Leafs a few years ago ?
Flo amd Texier- spot on
Marty had his team play no touch hockey….Thchuk buried Suzuki 's face….Marty turned this team into a beer league team called the pink pussy cats
Do you think the man to man system in the defensive zone is making them confused and gasses them out
Dobson is too soft, didn’t see him make a single hit. As a matter of fact not sure if he has made a hit this season.
I’m gonna get hung for this but I’m gonna see it. I’ve noticed that there’s many times in most games Hutson (same w/Carrier) is maneuvering the puck in the offensive zone trying to send pucks and passing to the slot when you have either Struble/Xhekaj across the ice wide open but they refuse to pass for a one timer. I don’t know when is the last time I saw consistent one timers since Weber.
Play snacks and the team plays bad. He is a terrible goalie and the team knows it. They collapse towards their net and are out of position. Monty is a cancer to this team
Back of my days when I play it a little School floor hockey as goaltender I was better than both Montreal goaltenders Lol both Montreal goaltenders look very small in the net you can't make saves if you're slid off into the corner of the rink.Montreal needs a goaltender that's agile and knows how to play his positions
What’s your opinion on MSL’s coaching? He knows how to motivate the kids sure but the systems don’t show up and the team is only based on vibes
Very telling game indeed 😢
NIKITA TOLOPILO is the answer to this problem! Trade a prospect now, this team has what it takes!!!!
We are not making the series, let me tell you
Are Habs management falling down the MB hole ? By recruiting many pluggers?
The Canadiens defense were manhandled, the Sens forwards were bigger, more physical, and tellingly just as fast. There isn't an easy fix for this, man to man requires physical play, the problem is the Canadiens defense isn't built for this, too small and can't handle the heavy going.
Coach, Montembeault is fundamentally flawed has been all along !
The flaws extend to his lack of gym time!
It just took the league this long to realize how flawed.
Last year was a fluke!
MSL is just not an NHL coach
Good on the power play atleast haha. Good rant tho its all true
Hi Coach… the other nite I wrote we all need to relax and enjoy the show … boy was I eating my words after the OTT 5 – MON 2 game… it felt like we got eat 12-0 and worse than that it seems like not one Hab cares… not one… the def system is not the right system for these guys … it’s NOT working Marty… some players need to sit in box… there is no passion – no fight … where’s the pride of this team… looks like no body contact beer league team… no excuse for not caring…shake up gotta come quick -even today…
Kudos to you for singling out eric raymond, as BOTH goalies been SLIDING on ice their last few losses. Wonder if French media would criticize raymond if goaltending coach was anglophone…lol
Hey Coach, unfortunately I def agree with everything that’s been said. Goaltending is horrendous and the whole D plays really poor throughout the season. Do not want to bring a bad luck to the team we all love , but without immediate changes in system and especially D play the play off this year will be gone 😢
Texier was acquired because 1 extra token player to address media in French. Not rocket science
Habs are way too delicate. Never anyone in front of the net. Always ooking for the perfect pass. Not enough shots on net. MSL has Xhekaj playing like a declawed cat.
All the tools are there for a winning team (save goaltending). MLS needs to go.
Tkachuk wipe the ice with suzuki face and nobody stand out for him. Im watching junior level of spoiled millionare kids
Once again Montembeault is not an NHL goalie . If you want to move ahead get rid of him end of story
