I haven't watched an entire game yet. The weather has been too nice. Plus NFL has been fun.
I haven't watched since the Buffalo game. I care way more about my son's hockey team than the Habs.

Good post. That's quite the team you've built there, Marc......did we expect anything less? I didn't. Trading Subban was the last straw for me, and its been hard to tune in since.Maybe when management changes again there will be some excitement for awhile, but it'll likely be the same old, same old within a short period of time.There's never been any real change for a generation.
You darn well know that's not what I am saying.You are seriously trying to blame Price?
Ok, because people like being obtuse I'll try to make it clear without the use of a bouncing ball to music...It's part of the gig. Therrien was the least of our problems for years but was blamed almost daily.

No, I really didnt expect more. Maybe the last 2 preseason games gave us a little hope but if you look at the make up of the team...its the same one that struggled to score last year. I realize the shooting % is unsustainable, but do we expect a huge turn around ?
I also agree re: Subban. As lame as it is to lament at this point, it is hard to imagine he wouldnt have made something happen the last few games. I like Weber but he really doesnt move the needle very much.
After last post season, the off season, the pre-season , and the way they look to start .. the only response to this thread I can muster is.....Who cares..
You could probably get a King's ransom for Weber at deadline.
The off-season soured me on this team. It was one of the worst off-seasons i've seen in a long time for any of my favorite sports teams.
Getting Drouin was a great start but losing Radulov three weeks later was bad. Very bad. Drouin should have been an addition, not a replacement.
It will be very interesting to see what happens come deadline, should this team continue to struggle....particularly if they are clearly not a contender but are within reach of the playoffs. The proper thing to do would be to hold on to cap space and try and make a splash in the offseason ( Tavares?). Would MB use it in a desperate, fruitless trade ?
Also , if we suck all season, do we sign 67 to a big contract ? or let him walk (proper thing)
Let him walk? LET HIM WALK?!
Trade his playoff slumping, leadership lacking ass off for the best return you can muster, **** letting him walk. Stop letting players with value walk. Maximize the returns, stop losing assets for nothing.
Let him walk... this org would too, just making our problem of no prospects even worst.

Problem is 67 is the only legitimate goal scorer we have.
It's sad but people wonder why we slump so badly at scoring...well simply put we don't have many players that know how to put the puck in the net.

Pacioretty is our best bullet for the trade deadline. He can bring back multiple draft picks including a 1st rounder. He's key to the rebuild.
I don't doubt he could yield a nice return.
But who confirmed a rebuild?
Everyone with half a brain knows a rebuild needs to take place.
