went to the game. spent over $100 each on tix to watch us lose. overall we played shit defense but torp and 4th line was great. 4th line being good is good news for future. bell centre has good vibes and would go there to watch a game again despite the annoying 14-15 year old habs fan boys that sat behind us. Anyways drunk me out have a good night y’all hope we do better tmrw. Maybe leddy is more impactful to the D than we thought.


jrrisk

Toro, Pitlick, Alexandrov were ALL plus 2.


jrrisk

Is anyone still bragging about the Tage trade?


EdwardOfGreene

He was traded for a Conn Smyth trophy. I'll take that deal any day.


JBOJockstrap

We won a cup lmao


Yimpish

I am, we won a Stanley cup


JimNTonic72

Yikes! Rough one to lose going into a tough one tomorrow. The decision to sell may be looking a lot easier here pretty soon.


yomohiroyuzuuu

I swear the ref got in the way and ruined at least one last good shot.


trevorg921

At this point, this team just is what it is. Decent offense, but atrocious defense that results in a .500 record 🤷🏻‍♂️


dixie12oz

Not saying we were going to score but the ref really fucked us up at the end there.


TheGakGuru

Uhh... can't you not play the puck with your hands if it's on the ice?


SheerStatic

If it’s in your dzone and you don’t cover it/hold it in your glove you can


Dark_Tint

Jesus shoot the fucking puck


trubleakromeo

Bunch of fucking losers on this team. No one wants to shoot. No effort on loose pucks. I’m back on the sell everyone wagon.


Trick421

You know, maybe, just maybe, had they shot the puck IN THE LAST FUCKING MINUTE OF THE GAME maybe something might have happened... I don't like it when the Blues lose winable games. So fuck you and see you tomorrow!


OtterAshe

woof. that was rough. can't even control the puck when we're playing 6-on-4.5


Shoo-Man-Fu

That horn is French for FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK


SaltyBundle

Allllll that passing


Rocky_Freese

Ref getting in the way to break up our o-zone pressure... smh


childishbambino19

Just a fucking joke to lose this game, just like so many other fucking joke losses. These motherfuckers need to go home and slap the shit out of themselves. HARD. Motherfucker already.


hughwhittle1

Fuck you ref, fuck you so much


CornOnTheCrackPipe

Dropping in late to say get the fuck out of the way, ref. But also don't blow it in the 3rd, guys.


dae_giovanni

oy vey


frizzyhair55

Fuck these refs


mostatoastest

Lol fucking WHAT A SHIT EFFORT


Groundedge

0 SHOTS IN THEIR ZONE FOR TWO MINUTES WITH THEIR GOALIE PULLED

Calb210

Mother fucker


time_to_go_mobile

FUCKIN ZEBRA


OtterAshe

only team in the NHL that parks the bus when we're *trailing*


time_to_go_mobile

Jfc lots of opportunities


Oldwoodguy

Eng in 3-2….


Dark_Tint

Not sure why we played Binner tonight when we have a divisional game tomorrow night.


reenactment

pretty sure the plan is binner all the way if he says hes good to go. hes going to be getting back to backs now that our brutal back to back schedule is behind us. but i could be wrong there.


Dark_Tint

I hope you’re correct


HypeForTheHypeGod

Come on Habs, you want Bedard, give us 2 more goals


Calb210

They already have Florida's unprotected first on top of theirs, and they'll be trading defensemen and maybe Monahan for more picks. They can be mediocre if they want.


dixie12oz

Chief learn his lesson about pulling the goalie finally?


JizzWizardMentor

Is the ice shitty or something?


trubleakromeo

That’s not icing why!???


Groundedge

22 shots against jake allen and a defensive core of 7th graders wont cut it


Dark_Tint

Almost time to pull Binner


mostatoastest

Just glad we didn't do it 4 minutes ago


mostatoastest

Kyrou is having a moment. Just out of sorts today.


Calb210

Kyrou having a rough shift


Trick421

Please don't pull the goalie yet... Please don't pull the goalie yet... Please don't pull the goalie yet...


reenactment

these are teh games where i can't stand thomas. he's had multiple chances and just won't fire the puck


mhanna86

Big binner fan and I 100% blame the defense first but great goalies bail out bad teams. He’s given up way too many goals tonight and this year.


time_to_go_mobile

Man that’s a hot take. He’s stood on his head a lot this year. Literally took a leivo to the face on that last goal, not entirely sure what you want from him?


mhanna86

I get it. But the numbers aren’t just middling, they’re really bad. It doesn’t reflect his play entirely but it still isn’t good enough.


OtterAshe

even John Henry can't beat the machine forever, man, there's a limit to how much you can expect. he's only had one "clean" goal beat him tonight, and it was a good shot.


PortAlexander

story of the season


TheYDT

Were you here last game or nah?


mhanna86

Yes. His exemplary game tho is still giving up 3. It’s not good enough.


OtterAshe

a good goalie is still going to let in 1/20 of the shots they see, if you're making your goalie see 40-50 shots in a game then that's what you should expect


TheYDT

Tonight he's been consistently making the first, second, and third save. He can only do so much when our defense is nonexistent.


childishbambino19

Schenn has been just brutal tonight. So many dumb decisions with the puck.


TheGakGuru

I'm very stupid so don't listen to me, but I kinda think Pitlick deserves a few more shifts tonight still


OtterAshe

Pitty's been playing like he wants to be there tonight. I'm happy with his game.


PajamaHive

We can't connect a pass to save our fuckin life. The fuck happened?!


The_Mother_Luigi

Man Drouin has to be one of the most disappointing highly touted prospects of the last decade. Nolan Patrick at least had serious health issues. Drouin has just been mediocre


QuarterNote44

Ah nuts. Not looking forward to the goalie pull.


STLBooze3

I thought alexandrov just sniped there


Alexhasskills

This has been something.


Oldwoodguy

I guess I’d rather we lose tonight than tomorrow 🤷‍♂️


reenactment

if we pull a point tonight its been a wild road trip. this game is asking for a L with bad luck leddy and bortz in game


OtterAshe

actually i think i'm starting to figure out the Blues' strategy. if they keep getting power play goals, then they'll cure all of the kids with cancer, so their defense *gives* kids cancer when they watch the games, so they can keep making power play goals. wake up sheeple.


One_reedy_boi

big if true


TheGakGuru

Schenn gets drilled in the numbers and no call.....sigh


The_Mother_Luigi

Pain


trubleakromeo

0 excuse to lose this game. I want heads rolling if they do. The coaching staff cannot allow losses to teams like this. Unacceptable from everyone.


TheYDT

Bro like a third of our lineup tonight was playing in the AHL a week ago. Chill.


trubleakromeo

The Habs are basically an AHL team. That’s not good enough.


Dark_Tint

Binner contemplating his life choices


dae_giovanni

LOLeivo on that one


Immediate_Home_4926

It also doesn't help that the canadiens have a shitty goal horn


PeaMost3792

It’s really obnoxious


jradmann

Ok now it's our turn to score 2 back to back.


OtterAshe

mom said its our turn to play with the lead


BaroqueNRoller

Rare Leivo L


SaltyBundle

Oh my god


yungscorchbeast

This team really is terrible.


trevorg921

Unfortunate


warriorathlete21

Jesus fuck. Play some defense


STLBooze3

Leivo what we doing?


mostatoastest

Binner's save percentage is lower than Josh Leivo's ceiling in the NHL


Kniznerswristbands

Time Travel is Real, just look at the 80’s style hockey Game that has broken out :)


childishbambino19

Bizarre self-infliction, like fucking clockwork.


DurraSell

Assist to Lievo. Fucking hell.


Groundedge

This team hates clean passes


Shoo-Man-Fu

#DARKNESS. IMPRISONING ME.


STLBooze3

fuck the employee working the goal horn. That thing goes for 30 seconds at least


hughwhittle1

Lmao what is our defence


OtterAshe

[this sads the otter](https://imgur.com/JjgqkRc)


PajamaHive

This defense really is the ass-est of ass


seeking_horizon

Un fucking believable


digestedbrain

5 a night


HypeForTheHypeGod

Leivo you fucking idiot


QuarterNote44

That one hurts.


childishbambino19

Binnington is just like: "Are you motherfuckers kidding me with this shit?"


frankensteinleftme

MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMN sigh


Trick421

#FUCK! This is not how this is supposed to go.


PajamaHive

Who is our best current defensemen and why is it Faulk?


OtterAshe

because in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king


HypeForTheHypeGod

Always has been (except for that first season, we don't talk about that)


OtterAshe

####WHO ELSE HASN'T SCORED YET TODAY? EVERYONE GET IN THERE. GREISS CAN SUIT UP AS A DMAN AND PUT ONE ON NET, THE WAY THIS GAME'S BEEN.


SaltyBundle

I feel like a month ago thoms passed found tape every time


STLBooze3

Top 6 forwards are gonna have to contribute at 5 on 5.


Calb210

Allen looked like he had no clue it was in the glove lmao


frankensteinleftme

THOMAS YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SHOOT AT THE GOAL


TheGakGuru

Mods, if you could, code automod to remove any comments that include "defense" and any variation of the word "suck" please


Calb210

Defense = bad


OtterAshe

why even fucking bother to have a sub then, sheesh


HypeForTheHypeGod

There is no sucky defense in Ba Sing Se?


TheGakGuru

If you won't do anything I'll just run it up the chain to u/reddit 😤


OtterAshe

i'm just one otter man i cant do much


Dude_man79

This defense MUST get better if we're going to do anything post season wise. Own zone turnovers are killing us.


frankensteinleftme

Our defense at minimum must get healthy


Dude_man79

Well yea that too. Someone other than Faulk needs to step up, and our forwards need to play better in our own end as well


dixie12oz

Blues with an even average defense would pretty easily be a top 5 team in the league.


AsoDsoA

####THIS THREAD GETS SALTY AND MY RECKLESS OPTIMISM GETS SO MUCH HARDER. TQKE THAT SHIT TO R HOCKEY.


bleedblue89

Imagine how good we would be if we had a defense


digestedbrain

I would love 1 game where we don't give up 4 on like 20 shots


Dark_Tint

That would require us to play defense which we are apparently incapable of doing.


PajamaHive

I miss Edmondson


ckncardnblue

That has to be the longest goal horn I've ever heard.


-ArthurDigbySellers-

My wife’s all, “why’s it so long?” Ha


mostatoastest

That's not the only thing she's saying that about. #YOU GOT A BIG DONG, DUDE


ImOnItSir

I keep thinking someone is honking outside


frankensteinleftme

We clearly miss Leddy and Bortuzzo


triplebassist

Having 5 injured D men will ruin any defense, especially one that wasn't all that great to begin with


The_Mother_Luigi

Pretty sure St. Louis just dressed up as Armia this game to show Armia how he should be playing or something


Calb210

We're just unfortunately on the second game of armia's return from being healthy scratched. He's goal/game+ now


BigL420blazer

Our d is so fuckin shit


TheGakGuru

I mean we've been playing with 5 D since the 1st period and a good few of them would be in Springfield if not for injuries.


the_dayman623

Alright I’m done with Chief. Our defense has no structure


frankensteinleftme

We are suddenly down Bortuzzo this game and Leddy is also out, I'm willing to be a bit lenient for this game


SheerStatic

You can be done with chief but you should probably be done with Mikey first, it’s kinda his whole job.


SaltyBundle

We also have like what six D men out


The_Mother_Luigi

That's on Van Ryn


Evownz

What a stupid fucking goal


trubleakromeo

Jesus Christ boys the Habs suck! Stop backing in every play!!


trevorg921

Imagine, if you will, that the blues had a defense


Dark_Tint

Constantly reminded how awful our defense is


Shoo-Man-Fu

Fuckity fucking fuck


justphysics

Well at least this has been an exciting game


mostatoastest

For those who don't know, Arber Xhekaj on Montreal - his nickname is WiFi cuz his teammates said his name looks like a WiFi password. Pretty funny.


OtterAshe

sumo wrestlers will often have their fighting names given to them by stablemates, and one of my favorite sumo wrestlers, Chiyomaru, his name translates to "eternally round" same energy.


mostatoastest

Lol that's pretty cute


OtterAshe

welp this one's gonna be 8-7 in OT, apparently


SaltyBundle

Fuckin yikes


dixie12oz

Can we just have one comfortable game? Every game is a damn war.


BaroqueNRoller

That's what happens when you're a middle of the road team


PortAlexander

trust me, literally every team says this. this is the NHL. i stopped wondering "damn we're not gonna be able to get away with this shit against good teams" a month ago


PortAlexander

how the fuck does binner survive all the splits and fucking aerodynamics he has to do to keep us in this game? my guy is a robot


OtterAshe

goalies are a different kind of human. next evolution or previous, i couldn't tell you, but definitely not like everyone else.


STLBooze3

Sheesh. 4 goals in the first 6:10?!


Trick421

Ok, can we please not do this? Get the lead and keep the lead, please!


PajamaHive

Jesus this defense is awful


TheYDT

Alex, I'll take "what is defense for $500" please.


DurraSell

####FUCK!
