Post-Game Talk: Habs lose nail-biter to Sens in OT, 4-3

[Cobra Commander]

Agreed. I like the skills, size, IQ but he's not fast enough.

He’s a 3rd/4th line player, get him the f*** away from Kotka already.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

First game of the year i essentially felt they mailed it in. After the first, almost stopped skating.

 

[JJ68]

He certainly does not.

you're right, he's good for a dumb penalty most of the time.

seriously, the guy hasn't proven shit yet.

Price is a great goalie! A top 5 goalie. In the last game...he has stopped quite a few A++ scoring chances. People can't analyse Price while praising him when he's great....and excusing him when he isn't. Being great means stopping top quality scoring chances. I just don't understand some people. You are not evaluating Price solely on the TERRIBLE goals he gives. That's not the starting point for him. Yes...he can't be great every single game....but he is paid to be MOST of the games. And that INCLUDES stopping A+++++ scoring chances.

When you're the highest paid goalie in the league (by a long shot), you don't get to be inconsistent. If we wanted that, then we could pay another goalie 5 million and get that.

 

[Whitesnake]

Yep, the 89.3% goalie never makes a mistakes.....

.912 for Price is just as bad. You got Niemi on waivers.

 

[Kimota]

You know what's frustrating? When we sucked last year, the Sens decided to suck at the same time, sometime worse than us. But we finished behind and they probably got the better player in the draft.

This year? We start playing well. Guess what, they do too! It's like the annoying little brother that won't go away.

 

[eklund the clown]

If they can get rid of Price it's time to do it.He is no better than average anymore.Niemi and Lindgren will do just fine.Alzner should never play another game here.Get Armia away from our flying finn .

 

[Zusammenhalt]

I only played up to Junior B but I don't understand what's so hard about winning a ****ing faceoff.

That's why some guys make an NHL career out of hockey with superior faceoff wins. Sooo important,

 

[habsfan909]

This is the Habs... they can use speed and look great at times but the lack of true top line talent will come up like it did tonight.

Price was at 904% before this game.Not great numbers and he needs to be a lot better as well.

 

[domiwroze]

Shaw played a full 2minutes on a PP... if that's not bad coaching idk what is.

Scherbak AND hudon could have played tonight instead of Dlo and Shaw, when your 4th line is Hudon-Peca-Scherbak , you can expect some extra scoring chances. Love Dlo, really do. But he cant bring more than Hudon or Scherbak with a mask on... Shaw is ... shaw.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Loved seeing that from the kid.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Sens displayed great hockey there. Never felt safe watching this game. Our OT game is so off. Seems every team is good at it but habs just don't know what to do. Put Byron and gallagher out there.

Man is this ever true... Our OT games BLOWS. We really suck at 3v3.

 

[Whitesnake]

In the end, being so bad on faceoffs means that you CANNOT go on OT if you want to win games and get 2 points.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Part of me is glad Ottawa is decent but god I hate Stone's face.

One more save and a couple more entertaining periods would have made this a good game. Oh well

 

[Belial]

The Armia hate is weird af... He had a really good game IMO, his best game as a Hab probably...

 

[M.C.G. 31]

So, we still suck at faceoffs which means we’ll always be at a disadvantage possession wise until that’s fixed, and we definitely do not have any shooters that can simply snipe it and end it. We lack finishers big time.

 

[Natey]

Saw the pass he made?

Okay and see him cost us in OT?

 

[HuGo Sham]

team seemed to mail it in after the first and started to believe their own hype. price inconsistent, and small mistakes cost goals. didn't get the line match ups on the road and our lack of FO strength exposed us in the end. thought 15 had a great game, especially coming to price's defence in OT

 

[nyhabsfan]

My lines when everyone is healthy

Drouin --- Domi -- Leky
Tartar -- Danauelt ---- Gallagher
Byron --- KK ---- Armia
Delaurius --- Peca --- Scherbak

Mete ---- Weber
Reily --- Petry
Benn ---Jullisen

Pleky, Shaw, Alzner, Quoliet, Schlemko all spare parts.

 

[Zusammenhalt]

Mike Reilly misjudged situations all night, by far his worst game of the season...

Reilly's skating looked off to me. Is he okay?

 

[Kimota]

Personally I thought Armia played well. It's Lekhonen that is an offense black hole.

 

[Natey]

Hudon sucks.

Less than Armia and Shaw. Hudon can produce points with no icetime.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Wave Alzner right now! He hasn’t got a no movement clause so we can throw him in the AHL! And let him rot there in hopes that he retires early! Jordie Benn too! Wave him and throw him in the AHL he’s horrible! Bring up some young guys, I’m sick and tired of looking at those two, they are an embarrassment.

 

[HeShootsHeScores]

Stone's face is enough to spark a rivalry.
