Habs last decent chance at 2 points until 2023. The next month will be tough..

'bout time...need to drop a bit in the standings...need to be closer to a top 5 pick...not looking at drafting 15th overall

Only a fool wouldn't rather have a top 5 pick.

But our 3 best young players were drafted 13th, 15th and 16th.

Just pick another great young player in a strong draft and we'll be fine.

Habs might be able to grab 3 players in the first round this year (Monahan). I say they draft a goalie with one of their late 1st (if they have one)

Unlike others, I'm not against picking a goaltender in the first round. But he needs to bring something special to the table.

I'm glad Florida picked Spencer Knight so we could get Caufield, but he was the kind of guy that deserved to be picked high.

Good morning gentlemen and Pat.

So Hoffman has a good 6 games stretch and gets a B-?

He was dreadful for the 15 others. Not just bad, dreadful.

D+ with a "better effort near the end, keep going so we can get rid of you!" note from the teacher.

dude, Karine is part of the selling strategy, we're giving him a good grade to get rid of him faster...

...faut toute y dire!!

I'm usually rolling my eyes about "americans being americans" in international events.

But the "it's called soccer" chant at the USA game was bang on.
- Scabeh

why, they weren't allowed to call it soccer before?

Maybe a top 5 but likely between 6-10.

No... it's that Americans call the sport Soccer....


Pis c'est à moi qui faut toute dire?!?

We're not fooling anyone with Hoffman, no matter how many positive blogs Karine writes about him.

At best, he goes back to being his best self: A good goal scorer, a powerplay revival machine and a huge liability defensively.

I just despise everything about the sport, bunch of snobby hypocrites.

yeah I know, just trying to hang on my false hopes here lol... and I wonder if Dadonov will ever (frank)ing wake up, that's another pretty sad case.

- AGalchenyuk27

yeah...looks like a 6-10 pick if things get back to normal.

Only the top 10 teams can win the lottery so finishing within the top 10 would be great

- Pat1993

Yeah, I feel you Pat.

My legendary optimism has been ruined by getting the gastro last week which ruined a very important friends reunion.

You know, when the getting sick part is the thing that bothers you the least.

aw, that sucks man. there isn't much you can do about the gastro, not only are the symptoms usually horribly intense, but it's also highly contagious, so you probably would've shared it with your friends... apparently because of the circumstances under covid, diseases like this hit you harder when you get them.

look at it on the bright side Pat.

Drouin is gone next summer at the latest
Dandonov is gone next summer at the latest
Habs will get a prospect and/or pick for Monahan before March 2023
Hoffman has one more season to go before he is gone.
Habs are rebuilding, lots of prospects in the pipeline that will need a few years before they are ready to made an impact.
2 if not 3 first round draft pick in 2023, 2 more in 2024

Other than Price, the other contract that hurts that will take YEARS to go away is Gallagher...5 (frank)ing more years at 6.5M

That's the thing though, we had 10 friends over that were living with us from wednesday through sunday. Been 3 years since we did this.

Had to send them home after I started getting sick, 2 of them still managed to get it.

(frank)ing sucks really.

Habs hired Teddy Purcell.

oh I know, wasn't saying it's all doom and gloom either, just that it would've been nice to grab even more picks at the TDL. speaking of not being doom and gloom, I don't see the Gallagher contract as that horrendous, obviously it's an overpayment but he's still playing and can still be effective imho.

also, I'm not the one that whines all the time because the habs are winning games

I just want a top 5 pick this year, I am afraid we are missing a great opportunity to grab a corner stone for this franchise for the next 15yrs.

he has a studio on Plateau MtRoyal with his BF

What's gastro anyway?
