Who was that dum dum that tried to back hand it out of the zone? They had time It was Armia. Ffs This team absolutely sucks defensively Who was the right D ffs It was Kova-useless and you're right, he was way out of position flailing around |

They start Anderson and Evans ... the tank is on. This team needs to learn to win, more than they need the #5 pick. This is why we can't hold third period leads, because we have not learned how to win, have not learned what it takes to win. There is no hunger 2nd year of a rebuild... really |

I've never seen this team out muscled like this before. It's like they are afraid of being hit

It's like I say at work, we don't have a 5 yr plan, we have a 1yr plan 5 times
We've had a few top 3 picks recently ... and trades in the last 3-4 years ... but it's still year 2?

I dont care about a draft spot or two . This was emabarassing. Blowing a 4-1 lead and what, 7 shots, in the 3rd period AND overtime. Playing Anderson and Evans in OT is like throwing in the towel.
The Wings season was on the line & you knew they were coming yet the team was not prepared.

Detroit was way more desperate. I thought we played OK, buried our chances, but they leveled up in the 3rd period.

Laughable non-call against Lyon in OT, that is a PENALTY every day of the week in every rule book. But the refs wanted to nudge Detroit across the finish line.
It probably will not matter, of course. The Wings are likely toast. They need both the Penguins and the Capitals to lose their last game.

This has happened at numerous times this season and it appears we've learned nothing. |

Habs were missing their best blueliner, their toughest blueliner and their most improved blueliner. Yeah, their D looked out of sorts but what else would we expect with Barron, Hutson and Kova in the line up? No biggie as nothing was at stake. Chalk it up as a tough lesson and move on.

For sure, IamC, it is no biggie because they played with a full lineup and Montreal played with a semi-NHL blue line. Plus, the Habs' first line got totally neutralized so it is always going to be a struggle when the centers of the other lines are Evans, Newhook, and Dvorak. I thought the refs were predictability brutal too. Look at the last few games Montreal played against desperate teams in the hunt (Philly, Islanders, Detroit), zero power plays in all these games.

I'm happy with the loss, but would of been nicer if it was a loss in regulation.
Tomorrow is a must lose game.

The Wings season was on the line & you knew they were coming yet the team was not prepared. Not only that, they could have shown they have what it takes to win an elimination game, that's on the job training capital that's as good as gold in the NHL But this team didn't give out any effort in the 3rd period. None |

2nd year of a rebuild... really That's BS This team is not in year two, when you have people claiming we are a Demidov away from making the playoffs Berg had no intention of doing a rebuild. Gorton was hired May 2022. In turn he hired Kent Hughes in Jan 2022. You can debate whether it’s been 3 years or two based on Gorton or Hughes. Hughes started making the major changes. I’m going with 2 1/4 years. |

Yeah, their D looked out of sorts but what else would we expect with Barron, Hutson and Kova in the line up? No biggie as nothing was at stake. Chalk it up as a tough lesson and move on. Yup, and they also wanted to give Hutson a look, who had no practice, no real familiarity with the system, yet was ok. He'll need to work on his defensive responsibilities and gain a bit more strength. He had no trouble processing the game at speed, or passing. I'd like him to get a bit faster but maybe that will come with more strength. Work out with Gally, Lane, and you too can have tree trunk thighs. |

The habs have recalled Mailloux Mailman is chasing 1st in scoring for AHL defensan. I thought they would leave him to win it. I suspect they want to reward him with an NHL game tomorrow. The Rocket don't play again till Friday, so he can fill in tomorrow, and still be rested for Friday. Maybe Savard will sit? Or Barron back down to Laval a few days early? I thought Barron was ok today, without factoring in the 3rd period when no one stood out. It's unfortunate that the officials change their reasoning, depending on who is playing who and the importance to each. It gives the team needing the win a large advantage as the tendency is to call nothing and the desperate team will always cheat more. It may also encourage the refs to call 'something' on the non desperate team for 'game management' or betting purposes. Did I say betting? Sorry I meant entertainment purposes. |

I would have preferred to lose 4-1 then the big tease. But don't know why so many are upset about the loss:
1) we still look good for #5 lottery;
2) Hutson is our future and it is bright. The guy can skater, dance and think the game. A Norris candidate in a few years;
3) why would anyone expect a depleted line-up with no motiviation to win be able to compete with a team desparate to make the playoffs on home ice?; Anyone, particularly the odds makers had Wings to win. Wings goalie was weak and we were able to get a lead. But we were not the better team on the ice or on paper. But we will be in a year or two.
What did bother me was the banging around of Cole with no push back. This seems to be a pattern which Marty has to address. Perhaps it's becuase the boys just want the season to end but you gotta stick up for your teamates, particularly your star players.
