joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted November 13, 2016 Admittedly turned it off after the first. I think what makes Montreal good and Detroit bad is puck battles. Detroit will be be relentless on the puck 1 of 6 games but Montreal does it every night. It affects your offense, defense and special teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard seems to never play good against Montreal lately. Was Jimmy that bad tonight? I know it was 5-0, but did he look alright and just had no D help, or was he Jittery Jimmy lettin in stinkers again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The team looked slow, like we had concrete skates on slow. Even on our PP it was the Habs that had the puck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are in another league compared to the Wings. Better coached, Faster, more skilled, stronger, way better defence and better goaltending, etc. Kronwall needs to just stay on LTIR and sit around and collect his money. He can't do much of anything anymore, and he's taking a spot that Sproul could have permanently. Just hang em up Kronner, thanks for the hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until the playoff streak ends, vets will always play over the kids. It sucks, but nobody in management has the guts to fully invest in a youth movement. 3 LeftWinger, Detroit \# 1 Fan and sjr2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Jimmy was bound to fall back to earth eventually. Mantha looked good before the game got out of hand. I know it's preaching to the choir, but what does Marchenko have to do to come out of the line-up? Sproul and Ouellet have both been much better this year. I'd say both of them should be in for March and Kronwall, but especially the second one will never happen. His puck movement is still solid, but he's a complete boat anchor when opposing forwards force him to turn and defend.

Wingnut1989 165 Report post Posted November 13, 2016 Missed the game tonight hung out with some buddy's and watched the UFC fights, looks like i didnt miss out on much. Wasnt expecting much tho tbh. Habs kicking ass right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted November 13, 2016 This game revealed much of our problems. I think anyone who watched this game realized we had no chance of winning this game once the puck dropped and a minute passed by, the Habs should be a division above us if applicable.

hardcoretom21 71 Report post Posted November 13, 2016 It was all about bad defensive coverage and missed assignments.... Which has been a problem since about 2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hey man nice shot! 144 Report post Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Yikes, That was a decision that was made years ago. We will have to deal with the end of those contracts. however both have gave us more than some of us are giving them. Edited November 13, 2016 by Hey man nice shot!

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted November 13, 2016 Stopped watching halfway through the second but Howard just wasn't making saves. It was 3-0 after the first and they had one quality scoring chance. Outplayed for sure but the game was over way too fast for our 'strength' at goaltending Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Holland as the GM, there will ALWAYS be another team willing to pay more. 2 krsmith17 and sjr2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
