I was out bowling on the 6th.
Ha, you were doing a Lebowski-inspired activity. So, you saw none of the references that were put out here?

Not the same situation no one in the french media blink when torrey was traded Torrey was from Qc but wasn’t French. MB had a lot more presure tu resign deslauriers.Had no trouble with Torrey

Was there a thread or something? I think I missed out
So our record is 3 wins 6 losses in OT, and 2 wins 6 losses in SO this season....
Had no trouble with Torrey
It's not a loser point, it's a point for a tie in regulation and Tampa won the bonus point in the shoot out.I don't think there's anything I hate more than ****ing loser points

I found this to be a very informative PGT.
After whipping through the posts I learned a number of things about our beloved Habs.
1) Our franchise has been likened to a bag of Potato Chips.
2) We won't regain our path to glory until the City stops misappropriation.
3) Carey Price was somehow at fault for us gaining a loser point.
That and poor drafting. And by fans I mean media too. But seriously it started with Roy, then Brisebois, Koivu got grilled for not speaking French, who cares? I'd rather hear English that Brent Lernout's attempt at French. Ryder, 30 goal scorer, got the boo birds. Somehow Kovalev who was the most perimeter player in history, was revered, even though his coach wanted to bench him for being lazy. Got him fired. Now it's Price. Paciorretty. Alzner and Shaw on the hit list. I'm sure I missed some. Never seen a team tear itself apart like Montreal does from outside influences.
The concensus among head coaches is that the purity of hockey is being ruined by the 5-minute, 5 v. 5 overtime and the loathsome shootout. HCs such as Randy "Kitty" Carlyse, Mike Babcock, Claude Julien, Coach Q, i.e. old farts in the coaching fraternity prefer the old fashioned 2 points for a win and each team gets 1 point for a tie and no OT. Thus, there's little emphasis to practice breakaways (i.e. penalty shots) yet we all know that a bubble team loses out on a wild card berth because they weren't good at shootouts. The solution? Give the HCs their wish to eliminate both the OT and the shootout and damn the fans and their desire to be entertained.So we just need to work the 3 vs 3 and the SO and we will be in the playoff next year.... and once you're in the playoff anything can happen!!!! keep the faith
Once on Hockey Night in Canada, I saw fans running after the turnstiles were opened. Running to the concession stands? No, running to their assigned seats; that was how fervent (even if their team is lousy) Montrealers about their beloved Habs. Some would call it a religion, the likes of the Roman Catholic Church in Quebec.The habs haven't won a cup in 25 years because they can't accumulate enough talent to do so. They have let UFA's walk without getting anything in return, traded picks and prospects for players they're not going to retain, avoided a protracted building phase like the plague, and haven't been lucky or smart enough to compensate.
In so far as it has anything to do with the fans, it would be that Montrealers have more disposable income than sense: they continue to pay for a hopeless product cobbled together by feckless, directionless management. But sure, more patience with them will yield a cup any day now. Don't stop believin' voyageur.

Torrey is a ****ing colonizing bastard who raped our lands don't you know this?

Interesting that he would actually put Sergachev in. Tampa is just hanging onto first in the Atlantic over Boston, so points do mean something for Tampa.
As nhlfan9191 said he would rub it in our faces too if he were him, so I agree rubbing salt in our wounds was Cooper's primary motivation, oh how he would have loved it if Sergachev had scored.
I was being sarcastic. Didn't think I needed but apparently I did lolIt's pretty widely accepted that he's hugely improved defensively. Did you not notice a change in his game?
What would that have to do with a shoot out attempt anyway?

Tampa is having a good year but they are in the same situation like most of the nhl teams, they are an injury to a key player away from missing playoffs.Cooper (like a lot of coaches) think they are smarter than any one else. He record as Tampa coach is really average in his five years. Five years, five playoff round wins. We'll see if he's smirking, when Boston catches Tampa for first place, Tampa plays Leafs in the first round, Leafs beat Tampa in the first round. Montreal fans and management can give the Leafs a thank you in about six weeks.
if the team you played gets the win ........... you lost.Here is exactly what it is..
For any team not making the playoffs it's a Loser Point.
For any playoff bound team it's a well deserved bonus point.
If the team you played gets a win........ you lost.It's not a loser point, it's a point for a tie in regulation and Tampa won the bonus point in the shoot out.
did he seriously had ANY ? ? ?Not the same situation no one in the french media blink when torrey was traded Torrey was from Qc but wasn’t French. MB had a lot more presure tu resign deslauriers.
