Suzuki x 14

Drouin had to pass that puck to Anderson, the game was over
Carey Price is awful and I'm usually one to defend him. He is about to get to Weber's status... He better be more than hot in the playoffs if we ever make it. If not next season I'm gonna trash that 11M$ pansy so bad.
Suzuki x 14

you might wanna re-watch the first 10 minutes of that period cuz they were terrible
Suzuki x 14

Nucks fan coming in peace 
, I thought Drouin was excellent against the nucks! His line seemed to drive possession for both games. So happy to see it as I really like Drouin. I'm so excited to see him and Suzuki with Caufield . He's such a great passer. Great series everyone! GO HABS!

I dont think it was a Niinimaa moment at all
He just knew it wasnt over because after Price made the stop to win it, he was up with his arms up high

I was just picking up from what a poster wrote earlier in this thread:
He was rather stoic in that short clip, looked deeply pensive for a few seconds. Of course, it doesn't mean anything -- just something for fans to have fun with.

Don't worry, they'll eventually reach the acceptance stage for the death of this franchise's illustriousness and all you'll see on these forums will be apathy, management shills and new/young fans hopefulness.

Last time they put Perry in the shootout most people here lost their shit because he didn't score. As if the guy had no business there.
Glad he did this time but I just find it funny.

Fully agreed, this should have been an easy win and Price played like a below average goalie until OT.
As mentioned several times, I love the possession game they are playing with Ducharme but MTL makes unforgivable mistakes in their own zone. Drouin, KK, Armia and co must start scoring goals else the 4 lines possession strategy can't be as effective. In particular, Suzuki has put up a goal, that's nice, but he is involved in two of VAN 4 goals with his line...

You win what you win, and the overall record doesn't lie.
I mean, Ottawa is 500 against the habs and leafs combined, but they are 10 games under 500 overall.
But the canucks had a a fairly easy time against those same Sens, and those canucks never beat the habs in 9 attempts in regulation.
Point is that its hard to draw conclusions based on which teams you beat or lose to. It's better just to focus with what's going on internally.
The only given is that there are no easy games whether it's the leafs at the top or the Sens at the bottom.

Looking back at the goals, he had no chance at the on the first one. That's just Suzuki choking in his own zone.
2nd goal is a one timer on the PP by a dangerous shooter. I won't say it's weak, but price had a good look at it, and just simply got beat. It's one you want to see a supposed elite goalie stop.
3rd goal, no chance with a tip infront of the net. Tough night on defense continues for Suzuki who gets his clock cleaned on the faceoff, which directly results in the scoring chance.
4th goal is one he has to stop. It's one thing to get beaten by boeser clean, but now we are talking about some guy named motte. He might as well be Steven Stamkos with the way price looked on it.
So yeah, mixed night for price. I'm still waiting to see that consistent high level of play from him, and hopefully, the best is yet to come at the most important time.
Agreed Suzuki had a very bad defensive night, but Price is paid like an elite goalie, 4th cannot go in and he has to bail his team out on at least one of the other goals. Else better to go with two good starters paid 4m each in a 1A 1B system.

Take Edmonton's sweep against Ottawa away and they are poor. You can only play what's out in front of you.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
This is the correct assessment.
Fourth goal has to be saved and the other three are really good looks, so they're not bad goals at all however he needs to find a way to make a save on one of those.
I made a comment the other day about how the Habs should use Price as an attacker in OT. He can skate and handle the puck half-way to the blue line and pass it off. I'll be damned, they did just that last night.
Someone on the coaching staff must read HFBoards, or I just got lucky.

Tough night for sure, but if you go back and look close, the 4th goal is the only one you can fault him on.....

My man Joel Edmundson tho.

Lay the body
I like him as our 4th or 5th down the line. Gotta give love when it's needed.
