Snipers are a dying bread in the NHL
Looking at the ice time... lol, how the hell did Subban have a 3:19 shift and then a 3:35 shift later in the game.
he;s amazing
The slide continues. The Carey Prices lose 3-1 vs Pittsburgh.

thats certainly dramatic lols have you ever been in a hockey locker room even in a junior level when the team is not doing well?
Subban is Shakespeare in that clip compared to some stuff ive seen heard said lols

The Montreal sports media made Pacioretty into some sort of inspirational leader destined to be the next captain.
Pacioretty really isn't that drastically different than Cammalleri, except Cammy was beyond clutch in the playoffs.

No easy fixes for sure. Habs were on the right course when they sucked so bad it got them the 3rd overall pick. These late first round picks rarely become anything more than bottom line or bottom pairing players. Habs need to draft some impact players.
As long as the Bell Center sells out there is no rush on management to fix anything.
Also, MT's saving grace? Price has played 12 games this year....
Not to mention that the leadership core of Markov and Pleks have clearly taken a downturn in their careers. Father Time has hit both players.

There were points of the season last year that I just tuned out. I did not even get excited for the playoffs as I knew we would not score and bow out of a game when down 1-0. This year it started earlier. The team without Price is awful. AWFUL. No need to drink our sorrows when scrubs are getting paid millions. Turn off the TV and go out and enjoy life I learned.

We deserve better, the best years of Carey Price are being wasted and there is no guarantee that he stays here( if I was him I would not)
It is such a mess and frankly an embarrassment to watch.
For a long time it's been my impression that he's not a two-way player. Without the puck, he flutters about like a moth. Have you ever seen him check a player? (I mean Cammelleri, not Pacioretty).
Don't laugh, it might happen
There's been a darker moment where the #FireTherrien movement had more traction every single year he's been head coach. Every time, the team eventually comes out of it.
Get burnt dishing out the same recipe too often???
Broken record with absolutely no evidence that management actually thinks like you do...

This is false though. Therrien is a "qualified" coach and Desharnais a "qualified" NHL player. Whether you like them or not is another story but they are "qualified". And I wasn't making a joke btw. we don't currently have any French players with the team. We have Bozon in the system but he's a longshot to make it to the NhL at this point.
Barberio and Mitchell are also "qualified" local players. Why are you obsessed with what language(s) the players can speak?. Every team in the league strives to have local products to play/coach for them. Look, the Leafs will most likely try to sign Stamkos because they think he's qualified AND because he happens to be from the Toronto area. People want to cheer for locals, it's normal.
Right now we have three local players on the team, all three of them happen to speak French and English and none of them are tokens. They can all play in the NHL.
And if and when Therrien is fired and replaced with Boucher it will be because Boucher is qualified. If and when Hudon is promoted with the team it will be because he deserves it not because of some "affirmative action" b.s.
Tomas Plekanec has one goal in his last 27 games,
-Lars Eller has one goal in his last 24 games,
-David Desharnais has one goal in his last 21 games
-Tomas Fleischmann one goal in 19 games.
-Alex Galchenyuk has three goals in his last 18 games
-Devante Smith-Pelly 3 goals in 31 games
-Lars Eller has one goal in his last 24 games,
-David Desharnais has one goal in his last 21 games
-Tomas Fleischmann one goal in 19 games.
-Alex Galchenyuk has three goals in his last 18 games

Did you seriously compare Mark Barberio to Steven Stamkos? Wow.
Obviously you have trouble with comprehension so I'll try to spell it out for you a little more clearly - if Montreal went for the BEST COACH AVAILABLE, rather than the best FRENCH coach available, we would be in a much better position. Bottom line. Why does the coach have to be French? So he can give interviews to RDS? Or for Radio? It's beyond ridiculous at this point...
And can you honestly say that Desharnais deserves to be a number one center in the NHL? How can you justify playing him in that role? Why are all young players buried by Therrien?
As far as Quebec born players in the organization you're misinformed - as Bergevin alluded to in his inaugural press conference -
The new GM is also in favour of increasing the French presence on a team, once known as the Flying Frenchmen, that had only two francophone regulars last season, Mathieu Darche and Desharnais.
"The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is here in our backyard," he said. "My vision is to put people in place to make sure we don't miss guys from Quebec.
"The goal is to win, but there are good Quebec players all around the league and we'll do the best we can to not miss them. Right now we have one Quebec scout. We'll have more than one. It's a priority for me. We'll start with that."
So yes there is an inherent desire to draft Franco's, from the top brass.
Drafted by Bergevin include:
Charles Hudon - 2012
Jeremy Gregoire - 2013
Zachary Fucale - 2013
Daniel Audette - 2014
Simon Bourque - 2015
I'm not criticizing these picks, simply pointing out that there are several QMJHL French players drafted and in the organization.

I'm beginning to wonder if the tailspin woildnt have happened if the Habs best th Bruins or Wings last month. They were playing well up to those games (especially in the Boston game) but lost both games in quick fashion because they made key mistakes. They lost their confidence afterwards.
And yet coach can't find any solutions except moving DD up and down. Or as a forward or as a point guy.
One thing he refuses to do is move Galchenyuk on the first line and keep him there. Or put Eller back at center because anyone who has eyes and some hockey knowledge can see he is completely lost as a winger.
I'd put DD on Eller's wing instead. Eller was tried on the wings several time, this year, the coach gave him half season there, it clearly doesn't work. Put him back at center and try to see what DD can do as a winger.

Leafs arent trying to sign Stamkos because he is a local.
They are hoping that being a local will be an enticing factor to a Superstar signing on their team.
If you cant see the difference then i got a bridge to sell you

It wasnt when Price got hurt (they were still scoring goals and winning).
It wasnt when Gally got hurt (they were still scoring goals and winning)
The sample size of Prices long term injury status lacks sample size (but 1 goal in 1 period against Columbus).
It was in the first intermission when MT shuffled the deck for no reason, and since then nothing has worked. The only game since then that they've played a FULL 60 minutes was the winter classic. Between the Dec 1 game against Lumbus and the WC, it seemed like the team would come out flying in the first period, and hope to score 3 goals quick like they did against Ottawa and coast the rest of the way (which is what they did that game). The past 3 games, they havent even been doing that, they've just not given any ****s, none, at all.

The real reason the Leafs aren't trying to sign Stamkos is because of what his next contract will cost.
