Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to Islanders

[MasterD]

Therrien finally explains why he banned the Triple Low Five, 10 years ago.



Basically, he's now claiming that it was too "individualissssssssssssssssssss."

That’s what he claimed then, too.

He never had a good reason to do this except inflate his ego and piss all over PK.

I hate the Isles for losing to TB in ECF 2 years ago.

I'll never forgive them.

If he did claim that at the time, very few appear to remember it. I certainly didn't.

But then again, purging our memories of that man's deeds can be a health benefit.

Freaking Power Donkey. What a useless trade that was. I'm sure we could have gotten something better for Domi.

Probly not.

Therrien was so bad.

Its essentially no different then teammates celebrating a goal together

Yes he banned it because he "wanted to implement a team culture". Most people were bemused at that, but shrugged it off. Also the sudden removal of the 'No Excuses' sign after the first season was another 'Huh, that's strange' moment.

What I found most puzzling was the gigantic Habs logo in the centre of the room that they said nobody should step on -- what's the point of painting it on the floor and making it so big if you're going to inconvenience players in their changing room?? Eventually they just dragged a rug over it, covering it up.

A comedy of manners.

The point was to make Subban feel he wasn't welcome to act out and act like he's special. Despite being our best skater, and a de facto leader due to his abilities and talent, they wanted Subban to feel like he was another grunt. Grunts don't get to have special celebrations. If you view it through that lens it all falls into place -- remember other GMs jockeying for their players to get called to the Olympic roster and Bergevin/Therrien would say things like "well, it's hard to make the roster there are a lot of accomplished players". Contrast with the effusive praise they had for Price. Night and day.

 

[Stive Morgan]

And of course Chi and Arizona lost. Sigh. Have we played either team yet?

We beat Arizona twice lol

 

[Habs13]

I didn't even watch - I went to a punk rock show instead.

 

[Habs13]

Wait... Evans injured?

The logo on the floor rule used to be pretty mainstream I think.

I think Brock Lesnar stepped on it while visiting the jets locker room several years ago, but I don't think much could be done about that lol.

When I go to Alexis Nihon, I make sure to NEVER step on the Habs logo - it's a respect thing.

Obviously I’m a Habs fan, but putting their logo on the floor like that and expecting people to walk around it is just stupid.

Right. Put it on the ceiling. A giant one !

 

[MasterD]

Right. Put it on the ceiling. A giant one !

Sure. Or, you know, walls.

 

[sandviper]

Wait... Evans injured?

Yup and it was pretty cringy. Think he’s out a while.

 

[ArtPeur]

I didn't even watch - I went to a punk rock show instead.

I guess most people actually did other stuff than watching this game

 

[Tyson]

Montombeau had me stressed , why u do this to me

Commander Primeau for NYR tomorrow please

Yikes...

 

[1909]

Sure. Or, you know, walls.

Walls in a dressing room are pretty much occupied by the changing stalls.

 

[Hostile Offer]

That was pathetic. With 4 seconds left "nah I'm gonna give a backwards side pass instead of going in with blazing speed"

Dvorak and "blazing speed" lol

2013 Goodbye, 'Triple Low Five'

"It's a team concept," said Therrien of the team rule. "You have to respect the game, the other team and the fans.

"The way we decided to celebrate this year is to salute the fans because they deserve it."

As if the triple-low five after a win disrespected the fans and other team in any way, shape or form... what a douche.

 

[Rapala]

A good team is a team having fun. This cannot be debated. Therrien was an egotistical Moron. I wrote many scathing posts in his thread and I'll admit a lot of it was over the top but he deserved it. Most hated coach EVER.

 

[MasterD]

Walls in a dressing room are pretty much occupied by the changing stalls.

Yes, then ceiling is fine. Or floor, but don't expect everyone to walk around it if it takes up the whole space.

But my message was a response to someone talking about Alexis Nihon, not a dressing room.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Yup and it was pretty cringy. Think he’s out a while.

That looked bad. Reminds me of when I fell at work in the spring. I am still having tendon issues in my right knee and it wasn't the one that initially was hurt.

And its at the end of the game. Not much different from the headbutts they all give each other. I am sure there was another curmudgeon in 1967 that would have banned that too. Its old school hockey stuff that I just don't care about.

Reminds me of all the garbage Cherry would say if it was 'them' while ignoring his own team doing the same crap. Constantly bitching about Ovies goal celebrations ( could you imagine habs doing that on therriens team!) while watching Marchand and Lucic and even that little rat Krug doing their muscle flexes and licking other players without a peep from Grapes. Stupid double standard.
