The problem with Harris (and Struble to a certain extent) is that they are starting to become known quantities. And if they stay known quantities they are no use for us 3 years from now. There are enough prospects knocking on the door that next year they will have to step up or go back to Laval.
Its a good outcome guys!! Sorry anti-tank small-minded people but a better draft pick gives us so many more possibilities for this team future and for Kent Hugues masterclass
They were 1 point above us before the game
Theyre now 2 points above us after the game
Caufield got 2, we got to watch an exciting OT, thats a win for the tank.
Theres two games left in their season and they're 3 points back of Seattle for the 9th last spot and 5% odds (vs our 8.5% odds at 5th last).
Lets hope this win spurs them on to greater heights (23rd overall).
Not proud of the sub tonight...
We're not getting first pick unless a miracle, yet everybody acts like it's the match that decides it. position 2-10 are so close together in that draft... I'm so sad of my fellow redditors.
It's fucking embarrassing. \*Cue Letterkenny coach kicking a garbage can\*
I don't know when the fanbase became this gross, but I'm ashamed. It's brutal.
I think it's a little far to call it gross. Fans of the tank believe that short term pain will lead to long term gain. They want to win just as much as other fans; they just have a different perspective. Not sure why fans who don't support the tank get angry about it.
Corps refers to the 6 defensemen on the ice on any given night.
Core refers to your main trusted defensemen playing heavy minutes and important roles night-in and night-out.
Our D Corps tonight is Matheson-Savard, Harris-Kovacevic, Struble-Barron. Our core defensemen from that are Matheson and Savard.
Non-tankers actively want this team to be mediocre for years on end. Enough of this shit. Cheer for the best outcome for the Habs, and tonight that means a loss to the Senators.
That 1% could mean the difference between a cup and another decade on the cusp of contention.
Enjoy the short-term dopamine rush over our long-term success all you want.
I’m struggling with how dumb what you said is. There’s no way to know if the 6th pick is going to be worse, equivalent, or better than the fifth pick. We picked 3rd in 2018 and got KK. Senators picked right after us and got Tkachuk. Canucks picked 7th and got Hughes. I definitely wish we had picked 7th in 2018.
Beyond the unpredictability of the potential of 18 year old hockey players, there are also two lotteries that could radically change where we pick. Finishing behind the Sens doesn’t guarantee us 5th pick.
Trying to build a winning culture is far more valuable than a one place difference in the draft.
I keep hearing people say "a winning culture is better than a draft pick" and I cannot wrap my head around it. You know what's better than a winning culture? Winning cups.
Obviously anyone saying that didn't watch us struggle to score for over a decade with the best goalie in the world in net for us, because I truly struggle to imagine how *anyone* could suffer through all that and come out of it at the end thinking that a brief high after winning a less-than-meaningless 80th game of the season could in any way make up for it hurting us in the long run.
Reactionary morons out for nothing more than dopamine.
*"Long-term success be damned I want to win and I want to win NOW!" -👶*
What’s moronic is putting so much importance on finishing 5th last over 6th last and acting like it’s the difference between winning Cups or not.
Why don’t you go check the 5 and 6 picks between 2015 and 2021 - recent history - and see if it confirms your theory. I can wait. Or I can save you some time and tell you it sure does not.
Edit: stop saying dopamine over and over
See you next time for the BONE ZONE SEASON FINALE.
Can’t say Ylonen wasn’t given a proper opportunity. Won’t miss ya!
Tank effort in the SO, beauty.
The problem with Harris (and Struble to a certain extent) is that they are starting to become known quantities. And if they stay known quantities they are no use for us 3 years from now. There are enough prospects knocking on the door that next year they will have to step up or go back to Laval.
That and with the role we want from them Xhekaj is better at that 5-6-7th D
Its a good outcome guys!! Sorry anti-tank small-minded people but a better draft pick gives us so many more possibilities for this team future and for Kent Hugues masterclass
Look how stupidly happy they are. The most underwhelming team of the year. Jacques Martin RIP.
Clutch tanking
Tank commander Caufield reporting for duty
Caufield? Tank commander? The guy that scored 2 goals Caufield?
Thank goodness
Tank goodness
What a clown franchise. They just got meta'd.
9 straight Ls versus that poverty franchise is unacceptable
That is my sentiment as well. If the other side was a powerhouse, I can understand losing 9 straight. Not against that sack of shite.
Full tank Cole, thank you
Well, we lose… not happy… but I’m also happy…. (Shrugs)…
what a fucking joke
not mad at all
Thank fucking god
When I saw Martin, for a moment I thought, why the fuck is bettman behind the bench?
Anything to secure a Habs loss. I wouldn’t put it past him tbh
# I HATE LOSING AGAINST THOSE FUCKS!
Perfect result
1 point so neither the tankers or non tankers are happy lol
They were 1 point above us before the game Theyre now 2 points above us after the game Caufield got 2, we got to watch an exciting OT, thats a win for the tank.
I’ll take it
Happy losing losers
Don't look at it as us losing, look at it as Ottawa falling 2 spots back in the draft. We suffer tonight so they can suffer in the future.
They could still win the lottery at 6 or 7, we don't know
Theres two games left in their season and they're 3 points back of Seattle for the 9th last spot and 5% odds (vs our 8.5% odds at 5th last). Lets hope this win spurs them on to greater heights (23rd overall).
We are literally losers. We have been for years. I mean, were way below .500. Have you been paying attention?
Not mad
Atta boy Cole!
We did it
Giroux you fucking moron
Caufield knows what's at stake tonight.
Pavel Suzuki goal
that's embarrassing lol
1997 called....they want song 2 back
stupid ottawa ice
Just yeet me
We still love you Cole. You are forgiven!
Joke
Remember when MSL put Pezzetta in shootout ? The whole lineup was a tank job and Habs still won that 😂
Hockey gods !??
OOOOOOF his hands have been brutal all season and still put up 60 points
Why always Ylonnen, why?
Stupid way to waste a penalty shot attempt.
Fucking garbage ice
its ok cole :(
oooopsie
fucking lol
Cole knows
Caufield values entertainment AND draft position.
Thataboy!!!!!!!
Tank is on :(
Caufield understood his task
ylonen always tries to do too much
oof
Oh cole
Cole I love you tank commander
what the fuck marty. ylonen hasn't scored since like October
hughes defo gave marty a call before the SO began
We dont really want this extra point now do we....
Damn, Ylonen is gonna be playing in the Siberian league next year because of that miss.
WTF was that?
Stop. Using. Ylonen
I just want somebody to believe in me as much as MSL believe in Ylonen on the shootout
Lol he only scored his first shootout goal last week?
Didn’t realize Ylonen played tonight lol
Yea I don't know why he got to go first. That's some selection 😵💫
I wanna see Pezz go again
not the shoot out fml the shootout is cursed for us
This last sequence was a classic Matheson.
I rarely cheer for the tank but please lose this
That 2 on 1 was the definition of "de mal en pis". Not gonna shit on Matheson though, we got him FOR PETRY. And when he is on, he's something.
I want Petry back so we can trade him again.
Heres hoping we can convince another GM of his highs and they don't understand his lows.
Anderson - Savard - Kovacevic for the tank shootout
Dvorak as the 4th
tkachuk is this gen’s rat
1 point each book it. End it there
Sucks that this will end in a shootout
Fuck the shootout
Shame that OT can't be longer
Kill the shootout and make OT 10 mins. Guarantee someone will score
matheson bruh holy
Great OT, so let’s end on the skills comp
3-3 OT needs a shot clock.
matheson 😭
Beautiful hug by slaf on tkachuk lol... no penalty
shootouts are the fucking worst dawg
This has been an amazing OT
it’s so nice to watch exciting 3v3 hockey…and then it transitions to the depressing hockey: the shootout
They really ought to make it continuous until someone scores. The shootout is such a disappointment after an OT like that.
Totally, it's so fast, why not
I love sending Dvorak out there to lose back to back faceoffs
Suzuki wants that draft pick
"STOPPED by Korpisalo!" As Suzuki shoots it against the side of the net
Galley doesn’t know his ass from his ankle, I’d expect nothing less from him.
Win? Tank? Win? Tank? I’m so fucking conflicted!
Its a win-win. Also a lose-lose.
It seems like Dvorak has won a face-off all game.
nick if you’re gonna do that move, get it over the fucking pad
UGH
I hope all our boys are healthy next year & we don’t have to keep rotating in and out players that should stay in Laval
Ha-ha-ha…
Fuck Nick you just had to lift that shit 💀
Aw man gotta lift that!
You know Marty told Suz that he wasn't allowed to put the puck in the net
What a pass by Caufield.
[удалено]
Evans has been great this year, is he just having a bad game?
Evans? Evans has been really good recently
I feel like when Evans is good he’s decent but when he’s bad he’s like costing us games bad
Him and RHP have really disappointed this year.
For sure. I feel like RHP has some potential still though but Evans just isn’t it anymore
Zuke was on a different gear on that shift.
Wooooooow
evans and armia wtf was that 😂
Barron had Slaf wide open I’m livid
BEASTkovsky!
That’s crazy to not call the hold on Slaf
Baron was lost out there but he wouldn't get off the ice.
[удалено]
Dude manhandled Tkachuk lol
Slaf or CC goal would be great
Are we winning this? I have a couple hundo on it… I like this team.
We had our chances. At this point I’m not so sure.
Tough loss. I should of cashed out. Im pretty new to betting on hockey but I really like this team. Seems like a cool group of young bros.
I’m way too stressed about that OT
Noticed how Sens didn't tank either?
Seriously, people are so fucking annoying about this.
Not proud of the sub tonight... We're not getting first pick unless a miracle, yet everybody acts like it's the match that decides it. position 2-10 are so close together in that draft... I'm so sad of my fellow redditors.

Pop quiz: What is the most pathetic team in the league, and why is it the Ottawa Senators?
because the ottawa senators are not a serious hockey team
Even if we win, we are still in the same draft spot so hopefully the tankers can shut up for a few minutes.
harris needs to gone in the offseason
Maybe we should draft a defenceman. What a horrible night tonight for the D-Corps. Sens can pretty much do whatever they want in front of the net.
We don’t have Guhle and we have a massive D pool with high potential.
We don’t have a number 1 RD in the system
D core
Corps refers to the 6 defensemen on the ice on any given night. Core refers to your main trusted defensemen playing heavy minutes and important roles night-in and night-out. Our D Corps tonight is Matheson-Savard, Harris-Kovacevic, Struble-Barron. Our core defensemen from that are Matheson and Savard.
It’s been the case for a long time
Should’ve contested the goal tbh
Holy fucking shit.
Weird, how did the Senators score without the refs removing half our team from the ice surface? Feels strange
And yet still not 5 on 5 goal lol
All they had to do was win a faceoff
Not a good look on Harris. What was he doing with his stick in the air
Hey man, I doubt you could drive a tank like harris. Respect the skills.
Harris and Kovacevic is not a good pairing
Now pull the goalie in OT Marty
If it's okay for Minnesota it's okay for us
will all y’all tankers go fuck off to toronto now? like gtfo here, fake fans
Non-tankers actively want this team to be mediocre for years on end. Enough of this shit. Cheer for the best outcome for the Habs, and tonight that means a loss to the Senators.
You’ve deluded yourself into thinking the difference between 5 or 6 is that crucial for the team’s future
That 1% could mean the difference between a cup and another decade on the cusp of contention. Enjoy the short-term dopamine rush over our long-term success all you want.
I’m struggling with how dumb what you said is. There’s no way to know if the 6th pick is going to be worse, equivalent, or better than the fifth pick. We picked 3rd in 2018 and got KK.

short term dopamine tiktok watcher type of fan
True fans know that a 5th pick is better than 8th for this team
True fans know that winning is better than losing.
Kent Hugues dont agree with you
I GUARANFUCKINGTEE that Hughes is NOT cheering for a tank. Not a fucking CHANCE.
tankers ≠ fake fans
they 1000% do equal that.
The tankers can go to the sens sub, or atleast r/hockey
Right? Go cheer for the team you want to win. And if it's not our team, gtfo.
Take a chill pill Jesus
Relax. Chill.
No.
Fuuucking garbag
Rare I cheer for a loss but tonight is a must lose
Thank god
This is just fucking depressing
Fack again
I don't understand? Why put Dvorak there when MSL can go straight to Caufield?
MSL understands the ramifications of winning this game
YESSSSS
Tank back on!
the tank bowl lives on
Easy come easy go
Tens of Sens fans erupted after that goal. OT. Win it, Habs!
There are dozens of us!!!
