Post-Game Talk: Habs blow an easy win

[CHwest]

I hope Subban Demands a trade.The team doesn't deserve P.K. with the way he has been treated by MT.

 

[Markov4Captain]

Missed the game, but I see I didn't miss much. I'll forgive the team for this game- they've been playing hard for the past few weeks and they probably just weren't into it. Sucks that we don't dictate our position vs Tampa anymore.

Losing Galchenyuk will hurt not because of his actual play, but the ripple effect through our lineup. Bourque shows up once every 3 games, and that probably means Gionta is back on the second line. I would leave Briere with Gio and Bourque and put Eller not he wing with Pleks and Gallagher.

Was at the game, thought PK was the best d-man tonight. Emelin on the other hand

However the one thing I noticed is that Therrien does not say anything to the players, its Gallant most of the time. And the only thing he does behind the bench is change his body position.

On the other hand Capuano was active the whole game.

 

[MayorFord]

i fear this is last year all over. they need momentum going to the playoffs and what a perfect opportunity this was after getting 1 point yesterday in chicago

they just totally blew it tonight

 

[Ihatekessel]

I'm convinced MT is trying to turn PK into Gorges

Therrien doesn't do a damn thing. He makes his stupid lineup decisions before the game, gives some half as frenglish speech before the game, says nothing to the players on the bench except "Lets ****in go", and then the same "rah rah play da right way, win da puck battle, play wit passion" ******** between periods. He refuses to make any in game adjustments besides benching Subban and Eller, and has his fingers crossed that Price saves the day every game.

That's the Therrien routine in a nutshell.

With all the heroic efforts of late and the actual goal scoring efficiency happening, this one was bound to come. Seems we shouldn't want home ice. 18-30 all time at home in playoff games at Bell Centre, 13th home record in the NHL, 5 of 6 shutouts this year at home and embarrassing efforts abound not to mention ugly wins (2-0 vs. Flames with EN, 2-0 against Sabres, needing mega comeback vs. Sens). Whatever it is, this team is disappointing in the league's arguable best arena. They can't handle pressure of the home crowd somehow. Therrien not helping.

The Habs have been an inconsistent streaky team, both winning and losing.

At times when we completely expect them to lose, they win. And tonight, when we completely expect them to win, they lose.

There's not much we can do about it as fans. All we can do is temper our expectations........negative or positive..........and just roll with what happens on the ice. A win or a loss should not be a surprise.

He ain't getting fired even if we totally flame out in the playoffs. So we might as well go as far as we can then next year struggle out of the gate badly enough to get him canned

subban needs to come back to his senses and find confidence doing this

Gorges is a great person though.

Is there anyone out there that actually thinks Therrien is a good coach? Curious.

Monctonscout.

 

[hockeyfan2k11]

As the MT saying goes, if it broke don't fix it

Dumb coach hasn't done a single thing to change the PP. Nothing. He doesn't have a clue.

 

[Habs]

Nice pre-playoff preparation and performance, what a joke.

 

[Habsawce]

Monctonscout.

I can't see it. I'd love to someone to take his "they are trying to be the worst defensive club" speech and dub over his voice with something like. "I really believe I am trying to get out-coached every night." And some more goodness, it has a lot of potential if done correctly.

 

[Frankenheimer]

To me, this game makes perfect sense. They've been on a high for a while now. It's sad for the fans, obviously, but every team has these efforts now and then. Just a fact. Better that it happens now.

He's not great -- but he isn't as bad as the cirlce jerk on here would have you believe. He didn't get out coached tonight the team just plain sucked.

 

[Compile]

Did watch the game but from the sounds of it, the game plan is...

Clear zone.
Pass to Pacio to get his 40th.
Worry about winning after.

Sound right?

Lacklustre effort to say the least, but the amount of lemmings running to the cliff around here is laughable....

tbf I've been critical of Therrien every game since last year so I'm hardly a lemming!

 

[Kimota]

They gave a ****** effort but i'm not bent out of shape about it. You get games like these these near the end of the season when you face eliminated teams. A lot of teams got screwed over by the Isles recently.

Lol @ posts like this that critisize people that critisize the team.

 

[beefisforbadbwoys]

Pretty much done for the post-season. These last two losses have completely over-shadowed what the Habs have done all season. I think I'm going to puke. Someone hold my hair.

 

[HABS win CUPS*]

Is there a place online where I can listen to the delmar postgame show from tonight's game? I found the tsn podcast of the individual periods but no postgame show
