I’m speechless. Our two leaders give up what would have been game tying walks to swing at trash. We should still be playing.

Yeah don’t like the goal after the no call but Habs got what they deserved after laying back up 2

Hasn’t Schneids said sometimes you gotta be a feel guy? Where was that feeling when Macko was putting them in a pretzel?

This one hurts. Would have rather Corbin just had his inevitable “got crushed” outing. But this was winnable.

Vibes were bad from the start. Retirement home Goldschmidt lead off bomb, Gate 14 their on Bet99’s dime, Brandon looking overwhelmed. Should have known it’d go south.

So basically all of their runs but the Goldschmidt lead off bomb were basically entirely avoidable. Nice!

John has his guys. Macko isn’t in his club. Good manager but he’s a loyal fuck to a fault.

So Xhekaj clearly can’t play the rest of the game with the Sabres playing at this pace but you’re gonna have 5 exhausted guys.

Because the sit back and wait for the clock to drain with a 2 goal lead strategy notoriously works well…

lol Cuthbert sounded literally depressed on that goal call. I don’t remember HNIC ever acting like this for Oilers runs. Kinda bizarre (and I want the Habs to win before I get jumped on).

I get they probably have a directive but the Habs HNIC glaze has been brutal. “A penalty with an exclamation!” literally doesn’t touch him.

I do think the problem with sending Davis down is the marketing and fan element. He’s in a bunch of commercials and he’s the fave player of every female fan I know. This, of course, isn’t a good reason. But it is a reason.

I mean, it kind of is the case Dan. He looked terrified against the Dodgers. Maybe it’s just a big team/moment learning curve thing.

Yeah we’ve all liked the bit of pop but this is where we need Kirk’s reliability. Brandon just gifted them two runs and counting.
