Triggers me to go check in on the “Habs won’t make the playoffs” thread.
Bergevin needs to go. He has single handedly screwed that team.
So they went 0-6 in the pre-season and now they have lost 5 of 6 in the regular.
This is quite a shit show Bergevin has conjured up. If this is the product, Price will struggle to win 20 games. In fantasy he will be essentially useless. Maybe I can get something for him if I trade him now.

No, guys they aren't unraveling. This is just the tease before they win the cup! /sar

I guess it could be worse. I could be a Mason owner.
bergevins been following the islanders around so his next move might be coming
Let's be fair, they were playing SJ last night, in SJ, and haven't won there since something like '97.
That being said, they are obviously having issues early on.

Not sure why this is such a surprise, Price wasn't going to hold his opponents to 1 goal or less forever. Should have fired Bergevin years ago, it's unreal the Habs didn't win a cup with Price in his prime.
You can interchange the headline with "Talbot and Oilers".

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I think Montreal will be fine.
I think the Markov loss is a bit underappreciated - people (fans) still don't value how important good defensemen are to team performance.
The whole world is "Oh, scoring!... oh, goaltending!".
Bleh.
I'm a fan of the Hab top 4D (incl. Mete)... I can't say I'm a fan of their line combinations.
I still think Danault needs to play Bozakian top two lines and let two good wingers go.
I'm not a big fan of Drouin/MaxPac together... rather see MaxPac back with Danault.
Reminds me a bit of how people salivated over Jeff Carter & Rick Nash joining in CBJ - sometimes, two shooters just doesn't work.
(And yes, Drouin is a deft passer - but I think his value is as a shooter first).
I like Lehkonen with Drouin, just not MaxPac.
They'll figure it out.
They are getting shots - but I think the team chemistry with the added pieces is still a bit out of whack.
I still think they'll be a playoff team.
I didn't expect the Habs to be anywhere near as good as the Oilers either, so yeah, the Oilers have been a bigger dissapointment so far this year. I guess that was the point I was trying to make. One of the favorites to win it all, have only 2 points so far. Thats 1 more than the last place team overall, Arizona.
What player off the Isles (aside from JT) could actually move the needle for the Habs though? Brock Nelson? Some other second-tier shmuck? Maybe they are going after a D, there are a couple of decent vets there.
And what do the Habs have to trade at this point? Their minor-league system is pretty bare so I guess its draft picks.
