Post-Game Talk: 5 and 0 on the road!

[DAChampion]

Eller has become what we all wanted him to become, at least for the 2012-2013 season and the 2013-2014 playoffs and the part of the 2014-2015 season following the removal of Rene Bourque

If he keeps it up through the end of this year and the playoffs, it will be a great relief and really satisfactory.

P.K. Subban is turning out to be a dominant defensive player. Is there anything this guy can't do? What a treat to have him for the next 7.5 years!

Since 2011 or so.

He was always good defensively, but he's becoming downright dominant. This evolution is a wonderful thing to watch for us, and painful for all the haters.

this place is so soothing when we're on a win streak!

Its ridiculous.

There is a warm glow to the pages of posts.

How fast was that Emelin slap shot goal?

Even in slow mo it looked crazy fast.

I think the Eller+ Sekac is something that we've been missing for a very long time. They're so relentless on the forecheck and cycle, I really think their success will determine how well we do in the playoffs-- they give us so much added depth when they play the way they do. At this point I don't even think it matters whose the second winger on that line...Prust, Bourni, Weise...Eller/Sekac will produce either way.

Also, if anyone is feeling bored, the Leafs post game show on TSN 1050 radio is pure gold.

I agree 100%.... to fix the PP i would try Ghetto, Eller and Sekac on the 2nd unit...they already have great puck procession and Ghetto has sniper written all over him.

Why not try that since we are already 24th in the league on the PP, couldn't hurt.

Fix the PP and we are truly BEASTS of the EAST!!!

yup, outside maybe 5 or 6 games were he was really bad this season, moslty due to him trying to do too much, he's been great.

best thing about it, pretty much guaranteed we'll have him for his whole career here

It's been a long time since we've gotten so much variety in our offence. It seems everyone's contributing.

If we ever get a working PP, we've got a real nice shot this year. The pieces are all there - they just need a plan, I think.

If you follow the fancy stats....they would tell you Subban has been a dominant defensive force from basically Step One.

 

[HabsChik*]

Eller is a great #3 C. Nothing has shown us he would be a great #2 C. at least, not with any kind of consistency.

That has Eller hater written all over it. This is so much BS all rolled into one post.

Crazy stat: The Habs haven't lost to an Eastern Conference team since back-to-back losses to Buffalo on November 27th and 28th

 

[Habs Icing]

What this thread is missing is some vitriol for Therrien and his coaching tactics. Yet in that department all I hear are crickets chirping in the middle of winter

As you should know by now, that is saved for when we lose and they don't have an actual reason. Also DD

Definitely different mood around here since those two Buff games

 

[Pricef*]

First in the NHL with 13 win on the road!
Hopefully Bournival will remain on the 3rd line instead of Prust!!!

Please fire Therrien immediately.

 

[BLONG7]

Please fire Therrien immediately.

Well said...

Eller never gets the opportunity to show if he could be a #2 center

So that's a bit unfair to say

Given he gets virtually no PP time... I'd say he's earned a shot at getting that opportunity

That's on our stubborn coach...someone will have to get injured before he realizes something like this...just ask Galchenyuk...

 

[OldCraig71]

I make it look easy.

 

[Tabarouette]

Please fire Therrien immediately.

according to this board he should buy a lottery ticket, he's been "lucky" every game for over 2 years now! zero talent, all luck!

 

[poetryinmotion]

I think I posted this in the wrong thread.. but Lars Eller was truly a beast this game!

And the real tragedy is that some here are upset deep down inside at his success!!

 

[BLONG7]

And the real tragedy is that some here are upset deep down inside at his success!!

The tragedy seems to be MT's ego and his success...I want the Habs to win, not Therrien...I was a fan of the TEAM before Therrien, and will be once he is fired...not really that hard to grasp...
Go Habs Go!!!
