I hope you took my dietary advice and went with vegetables tonight. No, I don't mean tempura style.

Don't care what any record shows. This Habs team is so overrated it's not even funny. Having a 16-7-2 record and a goal differential of a +2 or whatever is unacceptable. Sirens should be blaring.

I don't think there needs to be any panic. I do agree with you point though, Habs first line needs a 'Vanek'.

They look very uninspired.
- golfingsince


Not sure it's an effort issue. Effort was there tonight. They just aren't very good. But what can you expect with a bottom 4 of Emelin, Weaver, Allen and Gonchar? Even with Subban and Markov, this is a bottom 10 defence.

When they lose, they lose bad. Which explain the goal differential.

But you guys are funny. You can't win 82 games.

The team can't score goals. That needs to be fixed.

The defense is only bad because Therrien insists on dressing all three of Weaver, Allen and Gonchar.

I thought Beaulieu was playing well.

It wasn't great before Gonchar and Allen got here. But it's so, so much worse now.

Mikka kiprusoff hid a lot of problems in Calgary for years. I'd be afraid Carey price is doing the same thing right now

I still don't understand why they aren't working at least one kid in there. Allen might come in handy against the Bruins.

Gonchar hasn't been horrible.

But Allen should be in the press box.

I think tinordi could do what Allen does. And have the potential to improve. Allen is a player we got back for a guy who was passed for free on waivers. He is clearly useless

I think general concern and minor panic is totally valid. The team to often shows a lack of desire and compete at the start of games. Gets shelled against quality opponents & has an abysmal power play that borders on laughable.

If they keep losing they will probably call one of them up.

Just don' think it's time to panick because of 2 or 3 games.

That's exactly who the Habs remind me of right now. Sadly with even less offensive ability.

You traded Cammalleri for Allen.

They need to stop forcing the puck to subban. Teams have learnt to take that option away

I'd be more concerned with how they looked when they were winning then having just lost to Buffalo twice. I've only seen the Habs look good twice this season, but i've only seen about half of their games.

No, but the habs only got 1 of 4 points against Buffalo...

I would love to know what Bergevin's 'master plan' is. You have to wonder if he is looking at coaches to replace Therrien.

McDavid will refuse to put the jersey on.
