Is Montreal on his list
Petry needs to be better. If he plays like a top 4 the Habs will be improved.
I can’t remember ever seeing a team have so many players struggle all at once. Just crazy.
This was very predictable. The Habs lack game breakers. MB thought he could build a fortress and sit inside and win games. Well this hasn't worked in 3 years. Alzner signing was a terrible idea, he's best fit for a #6 guy who plays PK. Agile, mobile players is the way of the future as the league tries to get of almost anything physical.
Every other team sees the league evolving into a speed game while the Habs go in the opposite direction. Is Bergevin that dumb? What other answer is there?
The play he made on that bad bounce is what Weber or any other D on the PK does all the time, but who cares...He had some tough bounces while PKing, but he's been very solid 5 on 5.
No that play was not good. Alzner is a lot better then what people picture him, but blocking a side shot and disturbing the goaler at the same time (I do that some time, and my god I'm not happy if the puck get's in!)... Hope he was not very happy about this one... should have been 8-2... But at 8-3... who care!
Your goalie also tells you if you do that. I remember a goalie i was playing with many years ago was slashing me with his stick when i was doing plays like that. He was a weird guy though lol
Blocking a side shot? What? He was trying to block a cross crease pass! If he doesn't redirect that pass into his own net Brassard has an open net and he scores anyways...No that play was not good.

I really like Alzner. Compare to Emelin or Beaulieu he is better. But that move is hard to defend.
Brassard could have miss the pass, could have miss the shot, Montoya could have stop the shot. If you get down on ice, disturb the goaler and "score in your goal" on a puck that was not going in... you did something wrong!

Again, as I said he was probably too deep but he was doing the right play in that situation. Right decision bad execution.The problem was not him trying to block the pass. it was the way he tried to block it. His skates touched the goalie. I don't think Montoya could even try to block that deflected pass with Alzner in the way.
He had some tough bounces while PKing, but he's been very solid 5 on 5.
Especially when contracts are taken into consideration.Emelin > Alzner
Believe me.
