No question they're bad, real bad but holy shit theyre down 3-0 and all 3 goals have gone in off an unattended deflection. It's unbelievable. They're terrible and guilty of some bad plays but they're getting no breaks at all and their confidence is at 0

I just feel really bad for them now - that's how fast this has gone down
hill. I went from bewilderment to frustration to anger to acceptance in
2 weeks. They're not this bad, a QMJHL team could play better than this.
Price isn't this bad, Pacioretty, even though he tends to float, isn't
this bad. But good Lord is there no bottom here?
I stand by what I said last week. 4 points on this road swing and maybe
things would be fine, 2 and they're dancing with the devil - 0 and its
over. Mark your calendars - Its October 21 and the Habs have
realistically put themselves out of the playoffs. 95 points occupied the
last playoff spot last year. For the Habs they'll need to play at a .621
clip from now on just to reach the lofty heights of 95 points. Ain't
happening. Not with the Apple Dumpling Gang. Put up the Yard Sale sign.
Its over. Plekanec, Pacioretty, Gallagher, Shaw, Mitchell, Petry, Alzner
- they should all be gone by the time this year ends. Oh yeah, Bergevin
too. He's the designer of this mess. Time for him to take his bow too.
Actually, if he had any self respect at all, he'd resign.
Oct 21 and the sport that usually keeps things interesting for me in the
winter is already over. Shame.
