ZZZ... Oh we won. Habs win 2-1 vs Canes

[luthar]

I heard Ron Fournier explained why Paccioretty was so upset and didn't go on ice for the 3rd star tonight. Anyone can relay the info?

P.K's been crucified by the Montreal media for less.

Less than what ? What are you talking about?

This city is crazy , this team is 15-4-2 , but all we hear is this sucks and that sucks

Pacioretty didn't get on the ice for his 3rd star and it's the end of the world , the whole postgame on tsn690 was about how he's a bad captain and we should get rid of him

That tweet was to explain that there was a confusion going on , that's why he didn't step on the ice. Not because he didn't wanted to go for a skate...

I'm glad Price became Price again after that lousy first goal. A win is a win!

Hahah rewatch that shot it was christened top corner..... no goalie ever stops that shot.

Victory !
L'homme invisible nous a guidé vers la victoire !

C'est vrai, et maintenant? Or have you exhausted your brilliance with that mal mot?

Subban's pitiful replacement has been responsible for a lot of the Habs' goals since the beginning of the season. I didn't notice P.K.'s absence from the lineup. Where is he playing now?

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Good game tonite guys. Not the most exciting game I've ever seen, but it was fun

 

[Stive Morgan]

Missed the game, but it seemed like it was ****ing boring based on the boxscore and the PGT seems to agree

The Habs really need to shore up that defense.

Markov while the skill and smarts are there his legs are not.

Barberio was shaky at first and got skated around with ease a few times, but seemed to settle his game down in the second half of the game.

Pateryn played a simple and smart game. Exactly what his role should be.

Petry seems like he is struggling handling the puck lately.

Emelin has a hard time dumping it out or getting the pass out.

Overall I find Weber and Pateryn were really solid tonight and made it easier on defense.

It's known that the Habs need a top 4 LHD who moves the puck and can skate. beaulieu I don't think is going to be that guy. He has the mobility but not fully there with the smarts. I said it before and saying it now, not for Price's sake, but our defense will continue to keep becoming sluggish more and more each passing game where we get outshot where we are chasing in the defensive zone. Part of its due to the offensive lines not having a lot of offensive time in the offensive zone.

Overall Bergevin should go and get that LHD sooner rather than later and get the engine going for the team. The offense we can add the pieces later as those forwards that are struggling can still get out of the slump, but you can't really break out of getting overworked and tired on defense besides being scratched with is not an option for the top 4 right now.

Beaulieu has the skills. He can move the puck and skate.
He needs more time.

For now, he is on the Bottom-2 pairing.
But given his puck moving skills and skating/mobility, he could very well be a top-2 in one or two years.
Anyway, who do we have that is better than him on bottom-6 LHD?
At 23, Emelin scored 1G-6A in KHL. That was 5 or 6 years after we drafted him.
Two years later he was a playing every game in NHL.

I think we have pretty good defense. It could be better but Weber and Markov are pretty good duo to start. Seems better than Pittsburgh's defense.

 

[Habs Icing]

So Patches isn't confused and lost just on the ice. He has the same problem off ice.

Patch was like... I was a star in this game? lol

 

[Habs Halifax]

Expect more games like this. Boring or not but it's how this team is designed to win. I am impressed with Carolina's speed and puck battle though... Habs didn't have much space at all last night!

 

[Habs Halifax]

That was not a lousy goal. It was a lazer to the top corner

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Pretty good game, Carolina has been good lately so it was nice to get the win.

We could've had a couple more goals but Ward made some good saves.

 

[Alex514]

what a snoozefest.....

 

[MXD]

He likely won't play hockey ever again so he's on LTIR.

Blackhawks have up TT for nothing.

...Yeah, but it's not like they knew Bickell had MS.

 

[MXD]

Pacioretty not going on the ice due to presumed confusion should receive... no importance whatsoever. That's what happens when there are too much people being paid to report things.

Well PK would go out whether he was called or not. Kiss a couple players, do a few face washes, and give away a few of his brand hats and tshirts,

In a cap league the Canadiens D is decent enough. Every team in the nhl has a third pair they try hide in the play offs. Or late in games.

Its down the middle where the habs are as shallow as puppys' pee puddle.

He seems easily confused. We should check him for the concussion protocol.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I didn't even realize Pacioretty didn't come onto the ice. It's such a non-issue, and I can't believe that people are upset by it.

 

[LaP]

Less than what ? What are you talking about?

Less than what Patch is showing this season. I defended Patch many time and but this season i can't. There's just no reason to defend him. The was he is acting on the ice he should be traded soon if there's a good offer on the table.

Thanks. Man, your team is tough to play against! Carolina is playing some impressive hockey -- please lend us Rask and we'll ship some poutine and smoked meat down there.

How about a one-for-one swap -- Pacioretty for Toronto's Zamboni driver. That guy ALWAYS comes onto the ice at the perfect time. Time to fill that gaping hole in our roster.
