This wasn’t “the Tank Bowl.” This was the “the Toilet Bowl,” with the Coyotes plunging the damn thing and finally flushing the Canadiens down to the sewer. EricEngels explains why Montreal has no interest in tanking even if fans might want them to.

: This was not actually, as it was dubbed, “the Tank Bowl.” This was a game between one team that threw in the towel on its season before it even started and another that came into October trying to build off its first appearance in the Stanley Cup Final since 1993.Start with the Coyotes. Their fire sale began last year and by the time it’s done they might not even have an arena to play in.

This wasn’t “the Tank Bowl.” This was the “the Toilet Bowl,” with the Coyotes plunging the damn thing and finally flushing the Canadiens down to the sewer. “When you start the season, this isn’t what you expect,” said Jonathan Drouin, who assisted on both goals his team scored to join Nick Suzuki as the leading scorer on the Canadiens. “We’re going through a hard time at the moment. And I know it’s a cliché, but we’re trying to stay positive. So, this wasn’t a good day or a good game for us. It’s hard to accept… For sure, it hurts.”This was Game 37 of what is trending towards becoming the worst season in Canadiens history.

Down two goals, with Sam Montembeault now behind them, the Canadiens responded with just three shots through the first 15 minutes of the period. They appeared about as inspired as they did at the start, when they allowed two goals in less than nine minutes.Ducharme talked about players failing to limit the Coyotes' time and space in the neutral zone because he found they hesitated to choose between the options available to them.

EricEngels They sure as heck look the Habs are wanting to tank. Keep hearing players say they need to play better but nothing ever changes.

EricEngels Lmao yes they do… bringing back price this year would screw the tanking plans, he would steal them a few games to get them out of the last spot.

EricEngels I really hope this is just a 1 year thing. Really sucks having our Habs at rock bottom 😕

EricEngels Why all the people paid to talk about the habs do not understand one valid point. Its not the players. We have great players still on this roster. They are being put in a system that is utter garbage. They are put with players that don't mesh well together. DD must go now.

EricEngels Hilarious that they say all this stuff, then get on the ice and play like total garbage. Honestly, they can barely make a decent pass. This will be the longest season ever

EricEngels Should tell us how you really feel about this team. Sometimes your headlines aren’t clear & crisp

EricEngels I felt they were doomed after two weak goals early…GoHabsGo

EricEngels Be stupid not to tank now. What's Don Cherry have to say about this? DonCherry

EricEngels I’ve been watching the Habs since 1967. Never in my darkest nightmares did I ever think I’d see what’s happening now. Beyond pathetic.

EricEngels They are so pathetic when are they going to fire ducharme it’s already too late to salvage the season and how they went to the finals last year it’s beyond me

Opinion: New rules needed to get charitable foundations to disburse more moneyWhile accumulating far more wealth in recent years, they have not invested an equivalent amount to support programs and services that rely on charities for funding Couple of (5) months trading with rookiexbtrade are always profitable, I earn good return trading Bitcoin with Adriel and make huge profit, i withdraw my profit and convert to cash in the bank, DM him now and start earning massively. If the government did their job properly, we wouldn't need charities. Don’t give any money to charity, give directly to someone in need. Don’t let your kindness feed the greedy ones.
