Pre-Game Talk: Game 4 - MTL @ NYR

[Bill McNeal]

"We're smarter than everyone, especially the people who disagree with us!"

Genius.

Kinda funny that one of the rocket scientists forgot to pluralize "Canadiens".

 

[Tyson]

Man I want to see the Habs win this series!

 

[JuicyHam]

Man I want to see the Habs win this series!

Don't we all.

 

[TennisMenace]

Not happy about waiting three days in between each game. Pretty lame if you ask me. No more than two between games is the best.

 

[Andy]

The breaks between games is this round is a killer. Who organized this schedule?

 

[overlords]

Really? Sitting beaulieu for Bouillon. **** off, Therrien.

 

[Devourers]

Really? Sitting beaulieu for Bouillon. **** off, Therrien.

Not that I disagree, but when we win the game and Bou has one of his come back games like he always does, neither of us will be complaining

Therrien has a serious luck component to his coaching.

New Dr Recchi? “@ArponBasu: Gallagher not surprised if Stepan played: "He got up and yelling, so I don't think jaw was hurting too much."”

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Beaulieu looked like a chicken with its head cut off when he was pressured on the Rags aggressive forecheck in game 3.

Rangers scored two on Price. Ran him injured him scored two more on an injured goalie, lit up a backup not expecting to play. Then they beat a shaken up team with a nervous third stringer. They think they have the series in the bag. They go home and their "king" gets out played. Can't wait for game 4. Rangers fans are also pretty big babies too. Checked out their board and had a laugh. Prust is dirty (apologized for a clean late hit) Krieder asked about injuring price. Basically laughing....

PK Subban:

"I don't think we've played our best hockey game yet in this series...I still think there's another level for us to get to."

 

[Et le But]

Once again, we are being held back by coaching.

 

[Yep]

Vanek with Bourque and Eller is interesting.

 

[Yep]

And I like Bouillon as a one game gamble. He is well rested.

Bring back Beau next game when we have last change.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Vanek with Bourque and Eller is interesting.

Agreed.

None of the lines have been very productive 5 vs 5 in this series, so mixing em up makes sense.

Vanek can be the playmaker with these two.

Vanek with the Eller line could be cool, might give him more room to use.

Bournival and Weise will really help Briere speed wise

Not bad, even tho the ultimate lines would be:

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Vanek
Bourque - Plekanec - Gionta
Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher
Bournival - Briere - Weise

No, that was the entire team. hell, Emelin looked worse than beaulieu

The entire problem with this team has been a lack of transition. Bouillon won't help that.

 

[Account Terminated]

Whats with the spy gate incident today

Couple of Rangers staffers were watching the Habs practice. Therrien touched on it saying that they had reached an agreement that neither team would attend the other's practices between games. Looks like the Rags organization is a bit nervous after that loss in game three.

Whats with the spy gate incident today

Part of Therrien's strategy is dressing Beaulieu in a #6 Murray jersey and Bournival in a #15 Parros jersey on Sunday and they don't want the Rags to find out.

Is this a league rule or a mutual agreement between the 2 organisations?

 

[Account Terminated]

To be honest, I'm not sure if it's a league rule. I doubt it is because when I attended a fan practice of the Habs, I saw a member of the Leafs organization there. I don't think it's off limits but I am not 100% sure.

As for this series, Therrien said that the Habs and Rangers organizations had a mutual agreement.

 

[Habssince89]

my only concern lineup wise is cube in for Beaulieu but other than that I have faith. NYR can't afford to let us back in the series, but now the pressure is off us and I think we can take advantage
