Regis22 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 https://www.tsn.ca/montreal-canadiens-are-suffering-a-stunning-slide-1.1754876 Canadiens are suffering a stunning slide That said, the slide of this team – a team that competed in the Stanley Cup Final a year ago, I remind you – has been stunning. This isn’t just a lineup that’s really struggling to find their way, buried in poor shooting luck or void of any goaltending. The parts are bad. The sum of the parts is worse. If you hadn’t watched a single Canadiens game, you would assume this team was tanking. In fact, the Canadiens have a shot at finishing this year with the worst regular-season performance in the modern era of statistics (2007-22), a stunning indictment of how far this franchise has fallen. .................. Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes have a whale of a job ahead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes have a whale of a job ahead of them. It took them 44 games to figure this out? Just pick a game, take a look at our lineup, and compare that to the other team. Not sure why there's a need for statistical analysis here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electron58 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 On 1/29/2022 at 11:27 PM, campabee82 said: One goalie I would look at is a very good undrafted French Canadian playing in the NCAA by the name of Yaniv Perets. He is leading in the NCAA in both winning percentage and GAA. His GAA is 0.84 and his S% is .948 through 16 games. He would be worth keeping an eye on as the NCAA frozen Four wraps up. Since he is Quebec born maybe he would be interested in signing and at least give Primeau some healthy competition. On 1/30/2022 at 12:16 PM, electron58 said: Apparently, another. Jeff Marek said that Barrie Colts (OHL) 21-year old goaltender Mack Guzda is getting interest from the Toronto Maple Leafs and at least six other teams. “(Guzda) is someone that the Maple Leafs are very much trying to sign. Their pursuit, I’m told, is very aggressive. They met with the netminder this week, I believe on Thursday, but they’re not the only team trying to sign this netminder, who’s having a great season in the OHL. The Penguins, the Rangers, the Preds are all considered frontrunners but also the Ducks, Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes are said to be interested.” I know, he's not French, but....... The Florida Panthers announced Monday that the team has signed goaltender Mack Guzda to a three-year, entry-level contract. Well, scratch him.

H_T_L Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 So,,,, we went through the break without taking the opportunity to can DD. The new GM has had more then enough time to evaluate the coach position IMO and yet he fails to act. There's such a thing as giving a guy a vote of confidence but i've never seen a situation like this. DD has given Hughes every reason in the book to let him go. For the love of God let's get an interim coach in there,,, and at this point i don't care who they appoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people say its about the money (not wanting to pay yet another coach) but i dont think thats an issue at all for Molson. The team has what, doubled in value since they bought it? Operating costs are tiny in comparison to franchise value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis22 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/canadiens-management-must-intervene-another-embarrassing-loss/ Canadiens' management must intervene after another 'embarrassing' loss Nothing can be more damaging than that as the Canadiens continue to crater towards their best chance at that top pick. Development is where the organization has failed miserably for years. It’s a problem both Gorton and Hughes declared a top priority to address, and it could become much more of one if they don’t intervene immediately. Surely, they’re considering it -- whether it’s removing Ducharme just to change up the message and the system or placing most of their young players in a much healthier atmosphere in Laval (where the Rocket are in contention for a spot in the AHL playoffs) or both.

Operating costs are tiny in comparison to franchise value. they have been losing a lot of money because of covid lately though, it would not surprise me if they've made the decision that DD will remain until the end of the year. At the end of the day they want to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was given an unjustified vote of confidence from the new GM and he's accomplished nothing at all with it. The players obviously don't give a crap anymore about anything he has to say. It's now just an unhealthy situation for developing players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habberwacky Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Well the womens team at the Olympics seems to have pretty good goalie and if we.re on our way to making history this year perhaps we could include some positive history. She truly couldn't be worse as Montembault and Primeau both look more defeated than the rest of the team and would be lucky to stop a beachball at the moment. I've watched fpr a long time but this train wreck reminding me of the Caps when they first came into the league and the beatings they took. The irony is we have better talent than those teams but our goaltending may actually be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
