- The Canadiens allowed nine goals on home ice to the Penguins Thursday night, six goals in the third period alone, in a lopsided loss which has added to the trend of the Habs succumbing to defeat in ugly ways this season. TSN Hockey analyst Kevin Weekes examines what these losses are telling us about the team.

Goes beyond being young. This is not about the record, it's about how they lose. They are not being coached well and mentally, they lack focus.
Our d core is really week. That's not the coach fault.
Last year we didn’t get blown out. What changed?
Still in the rebuild big time in Montreal, just as they were turning the corner, especially to a struggling Pittsburgh Penguins team
Finally someone with sense not being overdramatic
So a struggling Pittsburgh team not just beats them, but pounds and embarrassed them. And you think it's part of the rebuild? They couldn't even put up a fight against a struggling team? Good way to build confidence
Kevin Weekes should play for the Habs today. He was a horrible goalie in his era. He would fit right in.
If Sam Montembeault keeps letting in more than 9 goals, they may have to replace him for ether Marc Andre Fleury, Cam Talbot or Jake Allen for Team Canada at the Four Nations
I was reluctant to join those claiming its poor coaching but at this point it seems like the most likely cause and easiest solution.
No team chemistry yet just putting any player with any player! If you want to coach a player do it face to face not by benching them and embarrassing them that just breeds resentment and hate not team spirit
👆 this is exactly right. Mind game Marty...has to go.
The Habs are lacking self-belief and are letting their pride ride the bench! Each and every one of them should be thinking "I am the very best at what I do!" and should be determined on every shift to prove it. If you want to be a champion then you'd better start thinking like one and go out and play like one. I'm 74 years old, but I can still skate and let me tell you.....if you want to step on the same ice surface with me, you had better allow your pride to accompany you off the bench , otherwise, get the hell off my ice surface!!!!! That's a message that guys like Gallagher, Suzuki, Caufield and Jake Evans should be sharing with this team! It's ok to lose a game when you play well because you're not going to win all of them, however, you might be beating me by a goal or two in the third period, but I'm going to make sure that you don't win easily. Don't EVER lose while your pride is collecting splinters on the bench!
even in a rebuild (unless its the first year of a rebuild) losing by 3+ goals 10 times before december ends is just pathetic and it falls on coaching before anyone. The habs just collapse after being down 2 and MSL has no answer for it. the guy was a pee wee coach before this so idk what the hold up is to fire him
As long as st louis is our coach and hughes is our GM , we will be the next buffalo...no playoffs for 13yrs ffs
Any one or all of...MSL behind the bench may not be the guy due to inexperience? Instead of trading Savard, adding an experienced solid shut down defenceman...3 vets, 3 young guys. A Solid back up goalie...i had hoped that Primeau was ready to take over for Jake Allen, but guess not. Laine should help, but another one or two vets who can legitimately contribute offensively(and defensively!)...but Montreal is still in the middle of their rebuild... Maybe just take the lumps...grind through...get experience and keep working in top prospects...still only 4 games below .500...but win/win situation---if they progress and do well, it's great. If they lose, and do poorly, MTL has 2 first rd draft picks(including Calgary's)! They do have have some good talent though...
Coach is too soft...so players are not always putting out the effort.
Bye bye Marty.
Young players developing bad habits. Gally must shake his head at the young core
Without Savard on the right last night exposed how weak the D is. Both Matheson and Struble got walked.
i still think reinbacher will be a good to great dman
but fuck letting michkov pass by seems almost unforgivable with each game that passes
Coaching in sus. D is sus. Goaltending is ight. No secondary scoring support. Also a lot of deadweight. Anderson, Dvorak, Savard are just not NHL caliber players at this point. Bring Evans back. Matheson is just a downright shit defenseman. Great offensively but man he should of been a forward.
What ever happened to knocking people down in front of the net? Who's minding the store? D is either out of position or too soft...more often, both. You think Ludwig, Robinson, Chelios or Serge Savard would allow players in the crease without paying the price? ... You have to play to win not just want to win.
They lack a #1 goaltender. Montembeault is a back-up goalie at best on any other NHL team. When Carey Price retired, this team plummeted into the ground. Also this fixation of always having a coach with French-Canadian roots stifles the potential of this team tremendously. Hire the best coach available regardless of if he's from Quebec, or Ecuador.
It ain't the goaltending, buddy. Far from it. Most nights, the goaltending makes them look better than they are.
@kenmacleod7225 the goal tending is a joke in Mtl . No legitimate number 1 and it shows as well as the D is crap and they over paid Slav
maybe instead of fucking around at the draft table. they should have taken michkov instead of reinbacher!
Demidov will be a better michkov
@@Rick-j2twe couldve had both
@@davidgosselin1193 michkov went 7th when analysts said he could give bedard a run for his money there's a reason for that.
@@davidgosselin1193 habs would not take both. If the habs took michkov they wouldnt have taken demidov and would have gone RD last year
That habs goalie has no business making team canada. What a joke.
He's good, Primeau did give 4 of the 9 goals in 8 minutes though...
Monty is a stud. The problem is team defence. Matheson is the worst and should be traded asap.
@@BEYONDYOURIQ stud in goal with stacked young guns and still bottom feeding. How sad. Monte overrated for sure.
@jerryking6021 you...🤪🤪🤪
He's pretty consistent in his performance, but generally the goals he lets in tend to be pretty hard for any goalie to block unless you're at S++ tier. I think the commitment to defense as an entire team will allow him to shine more. Defensemen will also take longer to develop too so there's a lot of work ahead.
MSL isnt an NHL level coach. Hughes has made some horrible makes and lacks vision.
St. Louis is not a good coach sorry he may been a good player doesn’t mean he can do the same coaching the team looked embarrassing last night
They have no coach or goaltending
Another guy that will not call a spade a spade the Habs are badly coached and it shows on the ice all players have been coached at Elite levels as they stride to make the NHL and the Habs hire a coaching staff with no NHL coaching experience being a elite player does not make you a coach ask number 99 this coaching staff is getting the rebuild more than helping it
They want #1 overall draft pick, and adversity makes better players. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 Cry more! What does Toronto's wins stand for? It's the regular season. 😂😂😂😂😂
They want the #1 overall pick to fail his development and overpay him?
1993 is a long way 🤡
@jogendron6320 waannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn wannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Should I call you a Waaaaaaaaaambulance? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
MSL ain’t workin’
Haven't since 93
They will continue to do nothing about it it’s been a complete disaster
Thank God montreal is an irrelevant team . Atleast the fans can reminisce about the 500 cups from the 70s
@@luthermacdonald8420 Slafkovsky sign a 8-year, $60.8 million dollar contract and only has 2 goals for the whole season…. 2!!!!!!!! Kirby Dach 2 goals…..Christen can’t hit an open net Dvorak 2 goals…..Mr rookie of the year all the hype in the world Hutson ZERO GOALS
What TSN knows about the 2024-25 Montreal Canadiens could dance on the head of a pin.
Or any one with half brain can tell you they suck and always will suck
habs just suck, no heart, no real number one center, no real first liners. n o real starter no real d man.
Ouch
They are the Highlanders from the Goon at best
Montreal rebuilding needs to go faster
can't rush a rebuild
@@ThompsonExpress true but how long is this rebuild?
@@sululeafs6106 Buffalo's is 11 seasons and counting. Lots of good young players at many positions, but not even close to the playoffs yet. I don't see playoffs for Montreal for two or three seasons. Still plenty of construction to do yet, but at least most of the parts are already in the system.
@@sululeafs6106 Give it a few more season. This year start real rough with Reinbacher and Laine. As well of the eternal question "who can possibly replace Price???" which is nobody unless we get a miracle.
A rebuild is an admission that we suck, and that we will suck for a while.
I hate to say it as a die hard fan, but this is the price of a rebuild.
And hey, if a few shit season can lead us to our next hour of glory, I'll take it.
Just get rid of Primeau asap please?.
@@sululeafs6106started when they traded Roy I believe
The team isn't very good. If your offense is Cole Caufield, then you're screwed
MSL is not a good coach. It’s as simple as that. But it’s best to keep him around so the habs can get 1 or 2 more top picks. Then fire him and get a better coach. I think that’s what Ken Hughes is thinking.
