Post-Game Talk: Habs let down Price again, lose 2-1 in double OT

[Lebowski]

Where does throwing players under the bus like we saw with eller and sekac fit in with your sports psychology?

He doesnt say they suck, just no skill....

It's as I said... Therrien will do whatever it takes to protect his own little person. At least that's what it looks like.

 

[shawdowmaker]

Can t fault the habs players they tried their best!! habs do not have the personnel This year to beat this team!!! MB f it up!!!

 

[Richiebottles]

People on HF after a loss.

If the Habs play as good as yesterday night or a bit better, they gonna win this series.

Yes, but only if they start scoring... Boshio was exhausted as soon as we got in overtime... go signs

I know I'm late to the party but I don't feel like going through 19 pages worth of posts... I thought Prust & PAP played their best games of the season.

Both played REALLY well.

Eller, Mitchell, DSP all played really well too.

 

[Vinc360]

I believe in this team and I think we'll have a strong game tomorrow.

Tampa played well and Bishop was stellar.

Not going to cry about the early whistle, blown offside call, and ridiculous penalties because I know this stuff can happen to either team, as evidenced by the last game against Ottawa.

However, I want this team to be ready for Game 2 and I want to see more finish from them.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

These teams are really evenly matched. Every game is going to be a nail bitter and I think it will go back and forth.

For the most part, I agree with this... as long we the Habs win the next one. If not, it will be short series. If they do, I could see them taking one of the next two in Tampa.

I too would put Galchenyuk with Eller, as well as insert Hudon. More Eller on the PP as well.

I would either put the EGG line back together or put Chuck back at C.

I thought Pateryn was terrible and all night I knew he was going to cost us the game if we didn't score.

I thought the Gilbert and Pateryn pairing was one of our worst last night. Beaulieu's injury is having a bigger affect on the bottom pairing than I thought.

 

[Hictor Vedman*]

This series is gonna be really good.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

It doesn't matter. I'm just pointing the fact that Bourque was huge in the playoffs last year. He sucked in the regular season, but at least he was good in the playoffs.

Even then, it was mostly in the first round he was good. He was total ass after that with the exception of the game 5 hat-trick against the Rangers.

 

[LaP]

Eller, Mitchell, DSP all played really well too.

The whole team save for maybe Galchenyuk played well. And even Galchenyuk had his moments in the game. Patch had a very good game imo. Plekanec was okay. Gallagher played well. Eller too. Pretty much all players had their good moments in the game.

The problem is not the way we played. I think we were the better team on the ice. The problem is the lack is any production by some guys. If it was this year only we could say ok this is not their year but for some of those players it's been this way for the last 3 years.

They play well but they can't finish. You can't buy skills at a grocery store sadly.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Tumbling imbecile, it makes me want to see him fail. Sadly...

Such a sad post. I feel sorry for you man.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Well, if they do that, chances are they will, but still could go either way.

Luck plays a big part in all of it.

But chances are TB is going to play better at some point and chances are we are going to play worse.

Either way, losing the first game doesn't bode well.

I agreed with you

But you have to consider TP could play better and first game was the best time to beat them because they where tire from last series.

Also Habs didnt win agains them this year. This means TB have a serious
psychological advantage and bother Habs players/coach mind right now.
So it's harder to win even when Habs play a good game

I think Habs first win agains TB will give them a big release and should do big change
in series. But I hope they will win at least one

MT have to make change and take chance because Habs will not beat TB only with Price

So for me the most important thing is => win one game

 

[CH25]

This series is gonna be really good.

Its gonna be a good rivalry for years

 

[shawdowmaker]

No they won t. However next game is crucial win on Sunday and anything is possible.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

If the habs lose t I suspect his series I suspect Therrien's job is still safe, however how many coaches keep their jobs when going 0-3 in 3 years in series started on home ice? I would imagine that his job would still be safe but that Bergevin will begin to re-evaluate the coaching problem if we do.

 

[CH25]

Therrien is bff with MB. Better get used to him for a while

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Prust complements Eller's style really well, they just need a finisher with them, I don't think those two should be separated unless you put the EGG line back together.

Wnning goal aside, Pateryn had a solid game last night, he might just have earned himself a regular spot with the roster next season.

Personally, I'd like to see Gallagher with Prust & Eller. Forechecking demons.

Prust - Eller - Gallagher
Patches - Pekanec - Weise
Chucky - Mitchell - Pap
DLR - DD - DSP

We really need Chucky to step up his game. I might even sit DLR in favour of Hudon or Thomas. But, MT won't.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

I would either put the EGG line back together or put Chuck back at C.

" Yea well we aren't scoring much so I better put one of my most offensive forwards on the first line." #therrienlogic.

This. Chucky's best hockey this year was at C and we were winning but if that ain't happening then yes try the EGG line again. Alex on the 3rd with Oompa or the 4th is a waste

 

[ottawa]

This series is over. Can't win in playoffs while scoring just one goal and we can't score more than one. Would like to blame the players but this is all on MT and MB. When you have DLR on one line, prust on another and DSP on another one you can't blame the players.

lirl no

 

[Richiebottles]

How about shutting the **** up? Is that complicated for a concept?

He has to talk to the media...
