Post-Game Talk: Habs lose again in OT!

[Non Player Canadiens]

I couldn’t believe that the habs did nothing in OT when they had the puck for like 90 straight seconds. They were so damn cautious and afraid to attack and try something.

no creativity, no talent, no speed, no mojo

It's in their heads at this point...they're trying so hard not to give the puck away that they're forgetting they also need to attack and force the play.

lol will everyone calm the "f " down. 3 on 3 hockey is a gimmick, we are great 5 on 5 . no way we lose this game playing a regular game of hockey. 3 on3 sucks i've said it since the start

3 on 3 is a joke but the fact of the matter is that those points are important.

If they were simply 4-5 instead of 0-9, thats 4 extra points in the standings which means alot.

 

[Whitesnake]

ON that Miller goal though, while Tatar was putrid...Nick's was soft as well. So many soft players on that lineup yet again.

 

[Rapala]

13 wins in 30 games

Do we give Pierre Gervais half a puck?

Petry looked once again at Danault for a good minute before he went back to the bench.

Danault is f***ing stupid so is the coach sending those 2 unskilled players in OT

Ducharme has been 5 times in overtime already as a head coach , still can't figure it out you send ur best players at start.

What do we expect from the player that cries about his usage in the playoffs because he thinks he has skill and doesn’t accept a huge extension thinking he’s worth even more.

I hope he’s happy that he’s likely cost himself about $15 million with his play.

 

[MarkJ]

and F- the Leafs.

 

[Kriss E]

Ducharme is scared of the vets. The amount he caters to them.

Seriously waiver fodder Byron on in every OT. Who cares that he can skate, its not figure skating. You still need to be able to shoot and pass

I legit do not understand. This is a team, at some point even the players who get put on must feel like ''mmhh..maybe try someone else coach''..

 

[LastRide]

ya i thought suzuki was kinda a last ditch thing. Tatar was a f***ing pylon however

Nick should have thrown a shoulder into him. When you try to play the puck that's what happens. Tatar is just useless this year.

 

[Gustave]

Yet...all the Danault bashing....and close to no one talks about Tomas ''waste of space'' Tatar. Should be called Thomas Tartare.

He’s done with this team. He’s played himself out of a pretty good contact opportunity too.

 

[thewall]

NFL has the Prevent Defense, we have the Prevent Offense in OT... what kind of garbage was that? players are afraid to make a mistake and they don't force anything. the lack of talent shows big time in the 3 on 3

 

[swimmer77]

Anderson missed a break away, Tatar got walked, then Suzuki got walked and Allen bit. Not sure how any of that is the fault of Byron or Danault. Not even sure it's on the coach. Now Bergevin - dats another story.

We tied the game in the last minute and you say there is no way we lose it playing regular hockey? Delusional.

 

[Naslund]

I don't know why you are all freaking out on Ducharme. He started Dano and Byron, and we got possession. We kept possession and killed time, and generated the best possible scoring chance (a breakaway). Then Suzuki and Tatar stopped playing hockey and they scored. This has nothing to do with the starting strategy from Ducharme.

 

[OldCraig71]

I couldn't believe that way that we started that OT. I don't even understand how they believe that they can make the other team tired while they are standing still watching them.

 

[ahmedou]

 

[FF de Mars]

Tatar out, Poehling IN.
Armia out, Ylonen IN.
Trade for a D.

Poehling, 6 points in his last 6 games. If he keeps this up he'll have his chance sooner than later.

 

[MarkJ]

Shut up Renaud.

 

[knuck]

should we sign pierre dagenais?

 

[Andy]

It's in their heads at this point...they're trying so hard not to give the puck away that they're forgetting they also need to attack and force the play.

It’s even in the coach’s head with the insistence on starting with Byron and Danault to gain possession. You’ve won 0 OT games, clearly it makes no difference whether you gain possession at the start of OT.

it’s a skills game, put out the skilled players.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Habs fans when Suzuki ties it and then realizing they're heading to OT:

 

[Tighthead]

Habs are now 6-14 in the last 20 games.

Great team hamstrung by a gimmick...

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Why does it feel like every year under Bergevin, we beat a record in mediocrity?

Soon to be 9 years!!

 

[OnTheRun]

Why does it feel like every year under Bergevin, we beat a record in mediocrity?

Because it's not a feeling... We do beat those record under Bergy's watch.

 

[FLHabs]

I think they are over complicating the OT, just let them play and go get a goal but still be mindful defensively. I get what Ducharme wants to do but this team doesn't have a guy like Connor or Matthews that only needs one good look. This team needs chances in bunches to score so it needs to be go, go, go, for a full 5min in OT. Why play fast 5 on 5, but slow it down in OT? I say play to the teams strength
