Montreal Canadiens

Habs need to cut the crap and tank for a lottery pick. Why in God’s name Bergevin gave Julien another aging veteran to lean on I’ll never know. The season is lost and Kovalchuk logs over 19 mins and Weise over 12. Yet Poehling gets 9+ and Kotkaniemi a little over 12 as well. It’s maddening. This team’s management is a complete shit show.

McCarron traded to Nashville for Laurent Dauphin

*YAWN*
Another AHL stunner from Bergevin.
With this trade we have this for 1st rd picks...
2009 - Lablanc - no qualifying offer
2010 - Tinordi - traded
2011 - Beaulieu - traded
2012 - Galchenyuk - traded
2013 - McCarron - traded
2014 - Scherbek - waived
2015 - Juulsen - AHL/injury issues
2016 - Sergachev - traded
2017 - Poehling - looking decent while getting 9 to 10 mins a night
2018 - Kotkaniemi - see Poehling
2019 - Caufield - looking very promising

With a track record like this why not trade that 1st rounder for Hall???
I mean management seems to think they may make the playoffs, right?


Ironic that Zadina, the player many felt the Habs should have taken when they selected Kotkaniemi, puts the nail in the coffin tonight. 7 in a row and counting.

They just lost to the worst team in the NHL AGAIN! Detroit must lick their lips when they see Montreal coming up no the schedule. At least they know they can win that one.

This IS how you tank.

If the team was really going for it Price would have got the start last night.

The Kovalchuk move served to only re-engage the fans and it cost nothing.

The kids are getting their minutes as warranted.

I hope you’re right.

Anyone hear anything new on Gallagher?

[evans334]

Travelled with the team to Detroit.

Skating with a tinted visor.

Julien said he's moving in the right direction, but they'll check in with him daily to see how he's progressing.

Tinted visor? Like Marshawn Lynch?

Exactly, gloves and everything.

Brings a whole new level to Casque Gant

#Habs Gallagher says he isn’t sure whether Chiarot’s knee to the face or his head striking the ice did more damage.
He suffered some memory loss from the incident but says he felt better the next morning.

#Habs Gallagher says he has to get clearance from team doctors this afternoon, but feels good enough to play.

Fingers crossed. Glad to see he’s doing well!
