Exactly what I thought when I saw dummies claiming it on here last night
Price was average in game 1, amazing in game 2 and good in game 3. You can't blame him once it's 4-1 and the rest of the team gives up. They also scored on a 3 on 1.

I like Desharnais, and I'm ok with this. Halpern is just a good solid player and deserves to play, and Desharnais has really underperformed, for whatever reason. If Eller was still in, it would be a no-brainer to take Desharnais out. As it is, I'd still do it for 1 game. But understand if the staff opted otherwise.

There's no shaking off what happened last game.
I would hate to think that the message from Therrien is to do this. Humiliation like that can turn a series around. I'm hopeful that the response from the habs will be measured against the level of humiliation they received in game 3.
I think the ridiculousness of the series has burned out. Ottawa threw all the fuel they had on the fire last night and they have nothing left short of injuring another habs player. The habs can add fuel to the fire, a fire they have no ability to play with (and thus they got burned) or they can let it burn out. I'm hoping they let it burn out.
If they learned anything last night then that's what they'll do. I think this is a pretty smart team. Smart players like PK can learn to reel it in, as long as he can be proud on the ice and not be drawn into folly, which will probably be the Sens tactic next game.
It comes down to Therrien though. Is he smarter than he is headstrong? His message will ultimately dictate the direction the team takes on the ice in game 4. If he's anger to motivate the team then I'm pretty certain the habs will lose. If he uses the humiliation angle then I'm certain the habs will win. Humility is a much better motivator than anger, much easier controlled, and more suited to the type of game the habs are built to play (speed, skill).

I want accurate shots, lots of speed, forechecking, good hits and oppotunism.

They didn't win, but the year we won the cup last, I think LA lost like 9-3 or something.

We blew out the Canes 6-1 in the first game in 05-06. There's probably more, but I'd need to look.

This Oiler fan will be cheering like crazy for you guys. Nice to see your team show some passion last game. Good luck!
With each game, the rivalry and the bad blood is escalating. Last game, we got trounced and humiliated. I hope the Habs come out in game 4 with fury. Hoping they get at the very least, a convincing win.
Make or break game imo. Except for our last stretch, we bounced back very well after being embarrassed. Though the last times, it took a couple games of getting massacred to somewhat get out of our funk. We absolutely need a convincing win tomorrow.

Flash back to 1 year ago...this statement reads exactly the opposite way.
I'm not a huge Desharnais fan, never have been. But things can change quickly in the NHL

417 is right things can change, desharnais IS skilled and DOES have talent....he just needs an attitude adjustment. he can change the way he plays, i've actually seen the fighting spirit in him before...saw it last year. fighting to the front of the net, fighting to win the battles along the boards. desharnais AND patches both have taken a big step back in terms of jam and grit.
but his contract is manageable, so dont talk like its an albatross or anything.
