The game against Buffalo, he was blamed.

Pretty obvious that he blames White, without being explicit.
The problem with what White did is that he did it for nothing.
If Ott had just run Price or cheap shotted Gallagher or Galchenyuk, I'm sure MT would have backed him...but he went after Ott because Ott got under his skin. Laraque did nothing when AK was elbowed in the head by Sauer. He did nothing against Lucic when there were many blowout games where he could have taken an extra 2 or 4 and not hurt the team.
Wouldn't mind seeing this at all...TM has been invisible this season...might just get him ready to be nasty when the playoffs start...
Moen is one of our better defensive forwards, that's one way he helps the team. His line with Halpern is very good at cycling down low and keeping the play in the opposing zone. They are a very good 4th line.
The first minor should not have been called, it was Phillips holding White's stick who should have got 2 minutes.
The second penalty was because White complained. This is probably the one that made Therrien upset.
In hindsight, White should have left his stick with Phillips.
What happens if you leave your stick with another player?

careful with that logic, we have a decent record with all the players actually part of the team. Even with Moen and Armstrong...
Was that it, I didn't recall the exact sequence of events, only that he did get 4 minutes.
If a player is holding 2 sticks, it's a penalty since you are only allowed to have 1.
Well White did sit out a lot of games. And the ones he did play, they won a lot more often than not. The only thing I was alluding to is that he didn't cost us many games, maybe 1.
Phillips was in front of the Sens bench and White's stick was between Phillips and the board.
Phillips stood there while White was trying to get his stick to go back to the bench.
As he started to push Phillips around to recover his stick, he got a roughing penalty.
The other one was Unsportsmanlike so I guess he complained too much to the referee.
White is not without blame but it is easier to blame a 4th liner than a 1st liner.
Gorges was there three years ago!
As for the future you never know.
There are a few D-men who could end up very good: Dietz, Bennett, Thrower, Ellis.

Brandon Prust jouera le match de mercredi, mais devrait rater la rencontre de jeudi par mesure de précaution. #canadiens #RDS
> Wtf man. I just don't...understand?

He says White put the team in hot water, or trouble, not that he's the reason for the loss.
At the end of the day, we gave up one goal in back to back penalty kills.
We were still up 4-3 at this point, Buffalo scored with 2 seconds left and it had nothing to do with White, nor was it on him that we lost in Shootouts.
Well White did that versus Florida when Fleischman hit Gorges from behind against the board.
That was considered his first strike as Therrien said he'll have to talk to him about it.
We were up 4-1 at the time.
Ott was being his pesty self all game, going after our guys. He tries to throw a low hip check to White, he suckers him into getting roughing penalties. Refs were a little severe giving White two roughing calls, especially knowing it's Steve Ott.
We were up by 2 goals, allowed one, and held the lead until there was 2 seconds left in the game. That was in no way White's fault. We lost in SO after, with White on the bench since the mid way through the third.
So, I'm not so sure Therrien would have acted all that differently if White did this after a player gets run over. Actually, as I pointed out with Fleischman, he was warned for it despite his action being warranted, and us winning.

This is actually very true, despite Moen not doing anything in the big hit dept. He did try with Simmonds even if it was late. Simmonds could have dropped them, so it's not like he's afraid. Then again, his whole concussion thing. I don't know how to feel about that cuz on the one hand, these things can mess up your life, I've dealt with similar. On the other hand, shouldn't have signed a contract if he wasnt willing to do EVERYTHING for the team. I doubt Bergy saw his disclaimer about the third line.
This scares me if Beaulieu doesn't fix his mental issues since he's essentially replacing Markov. It could honestly be Ellis if things don't progress for NB.
Yeah seriously I do not understand. They even confirmed that Prust is playing on Wed during the game, so it's not a mix up. What freakin sense does it make and also -- Prust is clearly hurt. I don't mind resting him Wed as well. Put Dumont in for him, seriously. Let Prust recover more, not hurt one game plays injured every other.

Halpern is a very good defensive forwards too. He gets 700K per year. See the difference?

You guys don't understand why they want Prust to rest for the playoffs? You are the best. The guy is playing with a bummed shoulder, and he has to fight monsters like McLaren and protect his linemates/teammates night in and night out, because Moen is too clueless to do anything to help him. Oh, but don't let that get in the way of your "Prust is injured because of bad luck" agenda...
Seriously. It's about protecting your assets at some point. I'm not frustrated to see that kind of approach. At some point, I hope Markov will get some resting too.

I said this from day one and people here basically were down playing Emelins value. There is more to hockey than statistics. He was Markovs partner and Markov himself said last night how valuable Emelin is to him. People here need to realize how much these guys trust each other and adapt to each others style to form effective D pairings. The defence is knocked down right now and it is trying to figure out a way to recover. It does not help matters when your franchise goalie is shaking like a 12 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert.

We're missing Emelin like we would have missed any regular D out there. We have to play both Beaulieu and Drewiske, that's where we fail. Has nothing to do with Emelin as with the fact that we have 2 injuries in our top-6 d-men.
