Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Pens/Habs Game 1

[dogthateats]

BART and JJ -2

 

[Malkinstheman]

They had 7 pwoerplays. 7!!! Theres absolutely no excuses

 

[Terrapin]

Bleuger could/should have laid him out before he shot. Instead, being the pansy he is, pulls up and lets him shoot. There's our 4th line 'grit'. lol

 

[cvrle1]

lol, so much for ZAR being best defensive forward. He completely screened Murray. I was just thinking how BART line was kinda useless as they have been matching up against habs 4th line. Then they get matched up against better line and game over.

 

[canadianguy77]

That Bart line you analytics people love so much was responsible for 2 goals against.
Whatever. This team as constructed by the coaching staff obviously isn’t good enough to really compete for a championship. That much is obvious.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

PP was shit.

We missed a penalty shot.

Price played great.

We were much better than them.

This game does not matter if we can rebound.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Thats a terrible f***ing team we just lost to. PP is pathetic. Price is way better than MM. Too bad he played just well enough that sully can justify playing the worse of our two goalies in game 2 again.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

PP lost us this game, plain and simple

 

[KIRK]

Well, if they were going to lose game 1, they sure found the perfect way to do it . . .

Price played huge . . . check
PP sucked . . . check
Lose in OT . . . check

Any self doubt they had say early in the third has now been magnified by a factor of 100.

 

[Pens x]

That power play is pathetic. This is on the coaching staff.

Shooting from a mile away isn’t working

 

[Shady Machine]

JJ is awful. Our bottom 6 played like poop. Murray was meh. PP was trash. Didn’t feel like playoff hockey.

 

[Pancakes]

Eh, whatever. We outplayed them most of the game, but blew two glorious chances to win. You knew they failed on the 5 on 3 and the penalty shot that they weren't winning this one.

 

[wheelz87]

Johnson -2
4th line -2
Wrong goalie in net.
Horns doesn’t play pp1 for some reason

Wooooo

 

[EightyOne]

Really hoping for Habs in 3 now.

This team is a flaming dumpster full of dog shit and deserves to be embarrassed for the second consecutive year.

Can you imagine, pretty much would be two consecutive sweeps out of playoffs lol lol omg

 

[T1K]

Pathetic display, terrible PPs. Defense was ok, but tough to generate offense when key players like Jake couldn’t adjust to the ice. I’m just upset I was dumb enough to bet on this team

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

1 for 7 on the pp, yup.

Surprised by the Murray love, tbh. His rebound control was HORRIBLE. Even simple shots were turning into scramble situations.

 

[Night Shift]

Lafreniere baby!! here we come...

I second. Maybe we can hold teams hostage and get a great return..

I'm half kidding I still think we will win the series. But if the above...hope it happens

 

[66-30-33]

Imagine if we got swept again lol.

 

[ColePens]

They had a chance to really refresh and find their way. And man that was more of the same. Pretty average effort. And it's really that dig-in effort.

 

[K Fleur]

Only 50 more years on JJ’s contract!

 

[2wayPlay]

I remember why I wasn’t excited about this team in March before Covid. Very overrated paper champion type of a squad.

That PP even though they got one goal is awful

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

They've now lost 10 of 13.

Yea but MM won back to back Cups in 2016 and 2017

 

[Terrapin]

This PP has been complete shit for years. There is ZERO excuse for it. Get a legit PP coach. Remove Letang. Split Sid and Geno. Pay top dollar for a true net front guy. I don't know, but something needs to happen

 

[spcastlemagic]

So disappointing. We will win another playoff game eventually, right? For as stacked as we are on paper we don’t seem to create much space for ourselves out there.

 

[Gurglesons]

Well, if they were going to lose game 1, they sure found the perfect way to do it . . .

Price played huge . . . check
PP sucked . . . check
Lose in OT . . . check

Any self doubt they had say early in the third has now been magnified by a factor of 100.

Tbh. If we are going to lose this series it’s due to stubbornness on L3 and L4. Move Jake to Malkin’s line. Jumble up the rest. BART cratered and Tanev is showing exactly why I was scared as f*** of that contract. Total no show for about 20+ games now.
