  2. our powerplay was horrible last night and we cant have 1 guy scoring all the goals. Demidov was a ghost. Slaf gave up so many pucks and made bad passes. Slaf also loves to hold onto the puck in our own zone and lose it. Extremely poor defense all night.

  3. For all you 🤡 who wanted Fowler sent down to get 'experience' and 'develop' what do you think now? Fowler was ready, had the best save .pct on the team. He should be the starter. Because of this archaic thinking about 'development' fools parrot from what they hear, Habs could be out of the playoffs.

  6. I said it at the start of the season and I'll say it again. There is something not quite right about the goaltending coaching at the Habs. Before they start switching, demoting and trading goalies, there needs to be a serious conversation about why isn't Marco Marciano being brought up and let Raymond focus on more of a scouting , development role or moved out altogether. Also, the PK sucks as does half the D. Thanks guys.

  7. I think Dobson-Hutson next season… I'm ok we manage the Hutson development this season.

    It makes sense eventually Dobson-Hutson will get majority of the D minutes, with Matheson soaking up a lot too with PK … Then is it Guhle? I'd kinda expect Matheson to maybe mentor Reinbacher. We need to see if Reinbacher is a top 4D or not or move on

    Fowler let him develop, lean more on Dobes absolutely… Monty IMHO not at fault , poor defensive coverage … That being said let's see what we got with Dobes and if trade deadline someone needs a Monty , injury for Cup contending team.

    Keep the focus on developing the team , youngest team in the NHL.

  8. Laine to Edmonton makes sense , but for sure would require cap acrobatics to make it work, maybe 3rd team

    LA Kings with their weak offense
    Or any team with struggling PP

  11. Patrick Roy had a 3.36 GAA in his rookie season with a .875 save percentage. It took him another full season before he started to have a consistent .900 SVP
    Learning on the fly can work. Jacob Fowler is solid emotionally. Give his the shot.

  12. Give Fowler as much work as he can handle in Laval until after the Olympics.
    Then bring him up if he looks ready. If ready, maybe trade Monty. He may need a change of scenery or a stint in Laval to work on his game.

  18. I would love to see Laine rolling in Montreal. That said one team who need star scoring power is Seattle. Their best player is Jordan Eberle and thei are almost in playoff spot. Also why not LA, Anaheim, San Jose also.

  20. i just don’t understand why they’d do anything at all.. nobody is gonna trade for monty so just run dobes starter and monty backup and let fowler cook in the ahl… we were never planning to win the cup this season…
