Post-Game Talk: Habs lose 5-3 to NY Rangers

[Belial]

Calm down negative nancies! I'm not there yet!

Drouin was awful tonight and Price is not playing up to the contract he's getting.He's being paid to be the best goaltender on planet earth and he is just a lower end middle of the pack guy right now.Looks lazy and disinterested.

 

[JCR]

Just a quick comment, since I too upset with this loss, what an a..holes, they lost on purpose, that's what I seriously think, after having the game in our control, and stupidly losing, the back-to-back games, isn't an excuse to a horrific 2nd and, specially, 3rd period, Claude Julien doesn't have hair anymore, but if he does, it would lose quickly, due to what this a..holes do to him, unbelievable!

 

[jaffy27]

What gets me is he played a good game last night.

My guess is this will be a recurring theme with Jonathan....1 good game, 4 bad ones

 

[The Great Weal]

Everyone in the building knew he was pulling that to his forehand
Cmon man
Nice goal tho

Are you kidding me? That was a f***ing fantastic goal. Credit to the goalscorer. Don't think anyone stops that.

 

[Lycanthrope]

some of these guys need to wake the **** up,drouin mainly would also say benn and hudon

last couple games price has been in nets ive held my breath on pretty much every shot,shouldnt feel that way with a goalie getting paid over 10m

tatar had a great game, max domi doing his thing as per usual

Been like that for me a lot longer than the last couple games man.

 

[Positive Vibes]

Been like that for me a lot longer than the last couple games man.

id like to think its some sort of injury that hes playing through but idk

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

13 goals against in 3 game for Price

 

[Rapala]

Yeah that one is mainly on Juulsen. Price isn't expecting Pionk to be able to walk around him lol.

As good as he was last night Juulsen was far worse tonight. Net loss.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

It's funny, I was expecting the other way around : losing against the Isles and winning against the Rags.

Ditto

 

[The Great Weal]

Calm down negative nancies! I'm not there yet!

 

[jaffy27]

Calm down guys it was a bad game and this teams been playing above expectations all season

True, and I get it.....but Drouin is just baaaadddd

Hudon is a hooking machine.....it always comes back to the same players.

 

[Max2]

Funny how often you see 10.5 / year brought up. Until we’re a cap team it is 100% irrelevant.

Salary should correspond to performance.Salary cap or not.Price is not living up to expectations.

 

[Aspirine]

Awful game A to Z, by far the worst of the year... The loss of Armia will hurt alot if injured for a while, Habs arent deep enough to lose a such player...

Such a player?! I don’t hate Armia but come on now, he’s hardly irreplaceable

 

[jaffy27]

OMG...Never thought I'd ever read Belial say this..You've turned a corner mate. Attaboy.

He’s emotional and drunk.......it’s not what he meant lol

 

[Whitesnake]

Sorry but you need to be truly clueless to blame this one on Price. He made a lot of huge saves. They hung him out to try really bad from the moment Domi scored. It was a complete system breakdown.

If you want to blame one player for the loss it is Drouin. Very very lazy all game long.

Sorry man. But that's not the point. Sometimes, just sometimes, you need a goalie that just saves the day. Making a couple of great saves, every goalie does that. Look at every game, every goalie make huge saves. But at one point, when the team is more tired, you need your goalie, who is the ONLY one that hasn't played the day before, to save you. He did not. That's what he has to do. He doesn't do it. That's what saving a game is. You don't save a game if the team in front of you plays great and scores 8 goals. You need gamesaving performances when your team sucks. That's what he's suppose to do. He did that in Boston. I count 1. He didn't do that tonight. He could have been better in the 3rd. No idea why the saves he made in the 1st made him impossible to make those saves in the 3rd.....

Yep, Drouin sucked. IMMENSELY. But this year, I've seen Drouin elevate his game WAY MORE than I've seen Price. And I wasn't a Drouin fan at first....

 

[Positive Vibes]

also hope the injury to armia isn't serious ive liked his game so far this year.

 

[Whitesnake]

Such a player?! I don’t hate Armia but come on now, he’s hardly irreplaceable

He is based on what we have. Not based on who he is.

 

[KKWG11]

Petry with 28 plus minutes and mete with 13 minutes im both games of a back to back is why they ran out of gas... I know there were a pile of penalties but still gotta do better with TOI

 

[Cookie007]

I’m sure the Quebec angle plyed a role in that one but your point stands....I’m already tired of Drouin.....I’m ready to part ways.

The Quebec def played a role... considering the backlash of trading PK the year before. Wouldn’t surprise me if Molson gave MB a wink wink nudge nudge to go get him

 

[Habano]

Had enough of this clown Price... 10.5 mill. for what??? 2017-18 he was ranked 44th for GAA and 63rd for SV%. I understand these results are skewed because some goalies played 10 or so games but, for that kind of money, I would hope he would at least be in the top 20. Is that too much to ask??? Eat his contract and get rid of this totally overrated so called goalie!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aspirine]

Omg Ouellet has a handlebar. So edgy.

 

[OldCraig71]

Drouin played a great game tonight, he contributed all over the ice, some of it in the Rangers favour but kind hearted nonetheless, he will bounce back. Inhale deep deep deep.....Exhale.

 

[Positive Vibes]

Calm down guys it was a bad game and this teams been playing above expectations all season

i know we are holding this team to a really high standard that probably isn't realistic but i want to be able to say we played a full 6o minutes every night and it isnt happening

 

[Kriss E]

He’s emotional and drunk.......it’s not what he meant lol

Let's find out tomorrow.

 

[Rapala]

I wonder if Cherbec draws in? 5th game in 8 nights on Thursday.
