GDT: ECQF | Game 1 | 5/2 | Ottawa @ Montreal | 7:00 PM ET | RDS, CBC, CNBC Part II

[Et le But]

Price was bad for 1 period; Desharnais, Gionta, Plekanec, Markov, Diaz and Gorges were bad since the first minute. But it's all Price's fault.

 

[25get]

The only one that's been worse tonight is Diaz.

Diaz not on his game today.

This is his third game since he cam back from his injury.
Usual time when you have a slow down.

 

[xposbrad]

Desharnais cannot play play-off hockey. The amount of ****-ups and times he's been out muscled on the puck makes me SICK to my stomach.

DD is weak on d, this is known, players go through him like a pylon. It's also known Diaz is the same way on D. We have too many weak players on D who just aren't strong enough for some of the bigger/stronger nhlers.

 

[sharks9]

Lol how can people give up on this team right now? We dominated them tonight. Some bad bounces and Price playing with 0 confidence for some reason screwed us. One of those things can be fixed

Exactly. A lot of bad luck for us tonight.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

This isn't only on Price.

Im done defending Price. He is way too weak mentally.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Price hasn't been great and Anderson has
we play WAY too cute--5 on 3 perfect example.
we're still too small up front to score dirty goals
and we're still too small on back end and need to be more
physical
some tweaking is needed

 

[Natey]

Hfboards legend Diaz is having a brutal game..

We've been over this.

He was great.

Suicide pass happened. Eller rushed to the hospital.

He's sucked since. He clearly doesn't have hockey on his mind right now.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Maybe Price will bounce back next year, but I'm all for going with Budaj from here on out this year.

I agree, but Price would probably get pissed and either start to suck or demand a trade.

 

[Tabarouette]

Im done defending Price. He is way too weak mentally.

not defending him doesn't mean blaming everything on him either

 

[WeThreeKings]

Giving up because it's ********.. Should be 3-3 but we're 4-2 because the Refs love Anderson or some ********.

 

[Nicko999]

We got Halaked... we got Halaked hard.

 

[Natey]

Price was bad for 1 period; Desharnais, Gionta, Plekanec, Markov, Diaz and Gorges were bad since the first minute. But it's all Price's fault.

Yes, because that's what everyone is saying. All those players are getting hated on.

But they're also not paid to be our best player. That's Carey Price.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Price was bad for 1 period; Desharnais, Gionta, Plekanec, Markov, Diaz and Gorges were bad since the first minute. But it's all Price's fault.

Diaz was decent, albeit inconsistent up until the Eller hit. He gets a pass. The rest? Awful. But my major concern with Price is his inability to bail us out of a bad period, let alone a game. You see what Anderson is doing? When has Price done that?

 

[HuGo Sham]

good news is team doesn't have long to think about it.
bounce back tomorrow and steal one in Ottawa

 

[Et le But]

I hope you are right but if you can't win when you have all the momentum and energy, when will you?

 

[Kenny Powders]

Diaz is just out of his game

 

[Youppi ki yay]

I agree, but Price would probably get pissed and either start to suck or demand a trade.

lol hehe

 

[cupwatcher2014]

cant win with a garbage top 6 like this paciorety dd ginta plekachu rydar....plenty of candidates for buyouts

lots of shots on Ottawa. This is about Montreal's goaltending, nothing else.

 

[Hoople]

Why the hell does Subban and Markov do the stretch pass? Automatic turnover

 

[TRG]

Diaz suce des crisses de gros battes.

 

[Nedved]

Saying this is Price's fault shows how valuable and good he has played in the past; he isn't the problem, but we need him at the level he can play at.

seriously. price has been the worse goalie in net for game 1.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

This isn't only on Price.

omg.. I can't take these posts anymore.

When you get stoned by a good goalie and your goalie lays eggs after eggs and when every shots end up in the net it completely deflates the team.

Sens got eaten alive in the first 2 periods. But their goalie stepped up and now they're winning. Maybe you guys will understand what a good goalie can do for a team one day. The habs showed up to play tonight and our superstar #1 goalie did not. Not at all.

 

[Vinc360]

Price was bad for 1 period; Desharnais, Gionta, Plekanec, Markov, Diaz and Gorges were bad since the first minute. But it's all Price's fault.

We were leading 2-1 up until those 3 goals in seven shots. 2 of those goals looked bad, the other one was questionable. Why do we have to jump to Price's defense every other game? It's a pretty solid indicator of the fact that he's been one of our worst players in the last 2 months or so. It's also not the first time this sort of controversy happens. It happened almost every year since he started playing with the Habs. As Michel Therrien would say: No excuses. Personally, I'm done defending him. Either he steps up his game (finally) or we're done.

Where is Jaroslav Halak when we need him?!

Diaz looks very nervous. you can tell it's his 1st playoff game
