Pre-Game Talk: Habs @ Sens Game 6 (6 PM Sunday)

[Banjo Cat]

I just can't see there being much of a backlash if we hired a guy like Babcock or Hitchcock. Both are just such solid coaches.

The thing is why would they want to coach the Habs. There are 29 other teams where you don't have to worry about this kind of backlash. Babcock has high regard all over the league. There are teams who would not even have to question whether or not they want him on board... here we are actually having a discussion as to whether he will be good enough for the fans. Babcock can have his pick.

Momentum is overrated. It definitely exists, but it can change in an instant of a shift. You can literally gain the momentum in a shift and lose it on the next one.

In game momentum yes, but it ends after the game.

Someone forgot to tell the Sharks that just last year!
I guess you must have just won everything in sight.

By that logic the series should have been over in 4. Kings were outscored 17-8 in first 3 games.

Time to get our EGG on.
Eller centering the Gallys, Plex between Max and PAP, a man who can put a puck in a net.
The bottom six pick out of a hat. I guess DD between DSP and Weiss, and Prust with the Buffaloes. DLR sits.

Exactly how the logical set up would be. But nope. Won't happen.

Its quite comical to see all the posts declaring the series over at 3-0, and now its over the other way at 3-2.

Its as if we have never seen playoff hockey before.

Actually being up 3-0 and losing the next two games is really ****ing ****, actually. That's not typical playoffs at all. It's a serious **** up. Just to let you know.

 

[bsl]

Oh well, at least they have a "bright" future...even though their core guys are all well past the ages of the Kings and Hawks core players when they won the cup,

Yeah, you get it. I've been saying this for 2 years. Kinda slow on the uptake around here...

 

[bsl]

Wow. We have the best "fans". I'm off to the Sens board. They believe in the Habs more than people here do....

Good. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Although I note the wild extremes that exist between then and now, I get, and feel what you're saying completely.

If we were trading games back and forth, it would just have a different feeling. We would be happy with this situation. Any time you get compared to the Sharks in the playoffs...it's not a compliment.

 

[bsl]

I think it would be quite unlikely for Bergevin to get rid of Therrien even if we do blow this.

You are being Naive.

 

[bsl]

What about the people who said bear down at 3-0 and kill them before they fester?

Yeah, like me. Here I go: TOLD YOU SO.

"Shortly after Price finished speaking, he retreated to the back area of the room. Just then, someone screamed an expletive so loudly it made Subban flinch as he was listening to a question and look over to see what was happening.

There's no way to be sure it was Price, but it happened just after he finished his media availability and retreated to the back, and it was loud enough to startle someone standing at the opposite end of the dressing room."

I remember Price going nuts in the dressing room after a loss in a 24CH episode- not verbally but with his stick. The rest of the guys had their heads down not saying a word.
When he gets pissed he gets PISSED.

You guys realize Sunday nights are Habs' kryptonite? I do.

You're absolutely right. Last Sunday was horrible....

Winning record on the year. Won our last 3 Sunday games... what's the issue?
