Post-Game Talk: Habs Unceremoniously Torched -- Blanked by LAK 3-0!

[Adam Michaels]

Julien claiming the long layoff and tonight's ceremonies, provoked rust.

I can believe the long layoff as a legit reason. But the ceremonies had nothing to do with it. Had they started half an hour earlier, they would still be rusty.

Tells you all you need to know about what the players think of the cellies and the fabled history of the team.

I don't think that means they don't respect the history at all?

 

[Seb]

Great outcome for the tank guys, this is looking good!

 

[Doc McKenna]

Beaulieu scored tonight.

Chuck had 2 yesterday.

I'm sure most players want to drop the puck and get going and couldn't care less about ceremonies. But those things are not for the players, though.

MTL plays like Timbit hockey at intermission. Lots of skating, effort, falling down, a few players skating in the wrong direction and a "goal" caused by stumbling into the goalie

Andrew Shaw doesn't. TBH, not sure he really likes it here.

 

[DrunkenHabz]

Drouin reminds me of Desharnais, but without Desharnais' vision. Which essentially makes him useless since it was Desharnais only tool. He seems like the only player on the team not buying into the game plan. Rushing in the zone trying to go through five bodies only to fall each time and lose the puck really isn't helping his cause.

 

[Phil Parent]

Not sure we like Andrew Shaw being here so I guess we're all in agreement he should go.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Savage.

Shaw might be getting traded; he probably wants that.

 

[neopreneur]

All our shots were so weak. We literally have nobody with a quality shot on the team until Weber is back.
This team needs to find a way to get way more shots from in close. Shooting from the perimeter won't work because our weak shots won't generate any rebounds.

Reality though is that it's the 1st game where we didn't outplay the other team, and we've been off since last Saturday. No excuses for next game.

 

[WG]

Hey there, anybody want to buy some parade supplies? Asking for a friend.

 

[Habaneros]

Chuck had 2 yesterday.

Pacman67 in Vegas ...5 games 1 point...

 

[admiralcadillac]

We had what 40 shots? We always seem to make second string goalies look amazing

 

[Draft]

Chuck had 2 yesterday.

Is he even skating yet? He might have taken a #2 after watching from the pressbox, but I'm pretty sure he's injured.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Game really changed after that non-call on the Doughty cross-check. Which, by the way, how the **** was that not a penalty? That's literally as obvious a call as you can possibly have.

Because it is Doughty. People don't watch him do these things plus he has a reputation of being clean as a whistle.

 

[David Suzuki]

Andrew Shaw doesn't. TBH, not sure he really likes it here.

Not sure I agree. He could be faking it but he seems to engage with the players/fans online at least. He's also from Belleville so it's not that far away. Only thing I can think of is that he wants to play in the playoffs, but I think he was more or less speaking honestly there.

time to update the wheel of excuses

 

[Doc McKenna]

Meh my dad actually came to my house to watch the home opener...LOLZ all around from us. Then we saw highlights of ex habs lighting the lamp elsewhere..good times. If my dad was a drinker he wouldn't have been able to drive home. Lucky he loves coffee.

Perhaps the long delay (which WTF were they thinking, why do that on the season opener, why not later in the year), did cause some problems as the ice seemed shitty since that puck was bouncing like a rubber ball out there.

We'll see how the next game goes, I would be shocked if the pens look half asleep like they did last game but then again they made a ton of errors. The Habs knew they had a tough schedule to start the month so we'll see what happens.

I like what i'm seeing from Reilly and Domi so far this season.

 

[dinodebino]

Savage.

Shaw might be getting traded; he probably wants that.

Last season, he was complaining about the weather and the taxes, saying it wasn't easy to convince players to come here. And I recall Bergevin saying that he had players come up to him asking to leave. I would not be surprised if he's one of them.

 

[LeHab]

All hail Alzner return on Saturday.

Sorry looked him up and the first thing google showed me was 2 goals. I didn't notice it was dated september. My bad. (actually googles, but I should have verified.)

Toronto Raptors played a basketball game last night at Bell Centre ..that's the reason for the bad ice...

Did CJ comment on the kid's play?
