Post-Game Talk: Habs can't shake SJ Curse -- Sharks win 5-2

[Habs10Habs]

we can use 1 of our 6th 4th liner and use him as a goalie

Haha...I can't even argue that.

This felt like MTL vs the Pens.

It was lost before puck drop.

Just like thinking Benn vs Crosby would end well, Niemi vs any NHL team wont end well.

Well i think it would end well against Detroit and Ottawa. Not sure they qualify as NHL teams though.

 

[Runner77]

Neimi is a really nice guy, and he did help make it easier for Kotka to fit in with the Habs. It's time for him to go now, that was too painful to watch.

He looks done but you know how that goes -- he has that veteran aura, brings "experience" toward the playoffs. He has extra lives yet.

I like the no-quit Habs, for sure.

Obviously better goaltending and more talented sniping is needed.

Sharks looked beatable tonight.

The loss was expected by most, regardless.

weal sucks. Weise still sucks. Double W ---> Trashcan

 

[Licentia]

Since we didn't know what Sharks team would show up tonight, I'm glad we rested Price. Just think, what if San Jose brought their "A" game tonight, and we lost despite having Price in net? We would then need to put Niemi in goal against Anaheim, and the end result would be 0 points in these two games.

It is not realistic to play Price 24/7/365. At least now, he is well-rested and will be ready to help us get 2 points in Anaheim.

It was the right move under the circumstances... (not having a better backup option.)

I like how Weal was dubbed as more than he is, just based on that first game.

This is the version of Niemi the Habs needed last season and not this season.

 

[Habaneros]

If anyone is surprised or disappointed we lost tonight..lol ..it's a real thing 1999..no fluke.. ...lol

 

[Runner77]

We miss kotka ... Thompson out please

If KK's "fatigue" is over and done with, can we please have him back in the lineup tomorrow?

That's if you are really interested in winning a playoff spot, Claude.

Not sure KK can weal with another game. He's gonna be back next season.

Can we play our best lineup next game please? Also call up lindgren

Hey, you're spoiling my safe word.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'm okay with us playing Niemi tonight. Back to back and I wouldn't want him playing against Anaheim and losing so this was the right call.

What I don't get is benching Kotkaniemi. Wtf was up with that?

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Obviously better goaltending and more talented sniping is needed.

Sounds like Kotkaniemi and Price to me.

Can a mod please add a poll to this thread and make it "Were you born the last time the Habs won in SJ on Nov 23, 1999".

Score not indicative of the game at all

Too bad moral victories don't earn us points in the standings...

Took care of it. Good idea.

 

[S Bah]

I truly can barely wait for Poehling to join the Habs. With Domi, Danault, Kotkaneimi & Poehling, the Habs will have NHL quality centers. Having Weal(RHC), Suzuki(RHC) as quality depth will have the Habs on equal standing with most NHL teams. A prerequisite to becoming a Stanley Cup Champion IMHO!!!...

 

[Runner77]

Easy win tomorrow. Just have to score 2 goals and it's done.

There are no easy ones but I like our chances.

Now, which forward(s) will be taken out of the lineup, given that we're coming off a loss?

Statut quo for Clode most likely.
