He could of timed some plays better but Emelin has all the tough matchups... I'm generally happy with his performance... Pis I ress une chose, I was excited to see a Subban closer to his form yesterday.
Post-Game Talk: Habs beat Stamkos Bay 4-1 (series 2-0)
- Thread starter dkd
- Start date
Absolutely Huge...
I don't know if anyone talked to him prior to the overtime period.
But his demeanor and body language were completely different.
It reminded me of the Patches Monkey off the Back moment in a goaltender kinda way
Someone told him the game has started..
"What?!?! I thought it was warmup!!"
Price always has a so-so preseason. Must be the same thing regarding playoffs..
LOL That was really good Mcneal. Well it make sense afterall. The refs are looking everywhere while lucic is being lucic.
'' huh? Lucic speared someone in the nuts? '' I missed it, sorry dekeyser. Was looking for ONE nice woman

.There's one thing with vanek i dont like much. he keep trying to be SO cute. I remember yesterday he was near the slot and prefered to pass instead of a wrister . Ofc the pass was no where near D.D and it created a turnover. I like T.V but i'm hoping someone tell him to shoot da puck . I hope its Michel with his heavy frenchy accent

he was doing the same thing with the isles...not sure why he doesn't pull the trigger more often.
His play on the Desharnais goal was just incredible. Split second decision and perfect execution. All DD had to do was to stay put and hold on to his stick.
I know we're getting carried away. Not the Habs... They know it was just a big 2 points on the road.

Yeah, but saying their top scorer is missing is somewhat misleading.
Therrien is currently outcoaching Cooper. Like, the matchups are CLEARLY not working in TB's favor, yet we mostly saw the same matchups.
Yeah,
He was lighting into JJ pretty good there. Marky had to settle him down.
Fire in his belly is a positive sign in my books.

Their missing Bishop is like us without Price. Sure, Therrien has more experience, but I don't see what Therrien might have done more than Cooper had Therrien been coaching Tampax.
Cooper messed up big time post game after the first loss. I'm sure his statements totally backfired.
The funny thing about the matchups MT doesn't seem that concerned with them.
Rolling the Pleck/Prust and Eller/Gio duos seem be very effective. I didn't mention the thirds because they are not noted as shut down types. Most of the matching he wants seem to be on the D.
I have always been an advocate of this is who we are playing and you deal with it.
Particularly on home ice, we just haven't had a club we could do that with (until now?)

So what happened with P.K and J.J?
Was he arguing with the coach or were they calming him down before he got a penalty, The Cube looked pissed.......
Anyone good at reading lips? I'd love to know what he said to him.
Any insight?

Happy to say I was at the game last night.
Right now there are no passengers on this team it's good to watch .
Don't recall a series with such a lack of hitting.
Habs nation was in force last night .
Can't say enough about Bourque and the skill and instincts of Vanek.

Exactly that...
PK was battling ferociously and there were some after whistle antics.
JJ must have had a flashback to that whole Philly incident where PK got face draped from behind took aversion to it and promptly popped the guy (which i loved by the way) and set this whole PK dilemma brewing.
No More Subban

I think JJ was mad at how PK handled that 2on1 by Tampa where he tried to pokecheck while laying on the ice.
I dont think Cube was pissed. It looked like he was trying to tell PK that it was okay. Same with Markov.

PK can get carried away in certain antics, that's for sure. That's part of the reason he is so good. He is extremely emotive.
JJ probably tried to keep him focused and under control. PK was probably not very receptive at first. Not many people react well to "Stop caring about what you are very angry about at this very moment".

Cool, I'm fine with that emotion. I thought P.K was arguing with the coach which would have pissed me off. Glad to hear he wasn't being a selfish ********.
I think PK was pissed because he had no intention of bopping anyone this time.
he didn't like getting called out for battling...

I get the sense that PK was really fired up and JJ was trying to calm him down. PK wasn't taking it that well and Marky really calmed him down (as did Bouillon). Thats why I love Markov- if you watch the CBC feed Markov makes sure to speak to Subban and get him to control his temper. He's a quiet leader that often goes unnoticed. I don't have a problem with what JJ did. Subban can get out of control sometimes. Pulling him back on an emotional level is not that bad from time to time.
It was perfect but goes back to my point about JJ not being able to deal with the situation properly.
He clearly rubs PK the wrong way.
No. He dealt with the situation perfectly; kept Subban focused on the RIGHT part of the game.
Subban had been heavily frustrated on the play before, and was lashing out. He could have made a silly mistake if he went back on the ice in that mindset. Subban has to be the annoyer, not the annoyee
