Post-Game Talk: Montreal 3 Detroit 2: a forward finally scores

[Junohockeyfan]

Tatar and Danult with really good games.

Domi needs to simplify his game.

 

[ImNeverWrong]

I laugh at all the dorks on the mainboard that scoff at petry. Guy ain't perfect but hes become a prototypical new nhl first pairing dman

 

[googlymoogly]

Team needs an all day practice on how to pass pucks and any player that does a blind back pass needs to do 200 push ups.

I agree, seems like he lost faith in Drouin lol

 

[jaffy27]

boring game. A tough upcoming schedule which will probably convince Berge what to do at the TD depending on how well we do.

He’s already mentioned that he’s not a buyer and if the right deal came around for a vet he’ll pull the trigger.

He said himself that acquiring a player will not put them over the top.

Take it for what it’s worth

If Drouin keeps on Drouin'ing, it's not a surprise for his teammates to lose faith in him.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Looked like preseason out there.

Supposed top line waa hot trash. Altho i might be insulting trash.

Take the 2 points and run

Are you sure he said that he was open to trading for a vet? I was under the impression that he said he would be open to trading away a vet, if the right deal came along. He's looking for long-term assets, so someone younger. Of course, you can always find a "vet" who entered the league at 18 and somehow is available at say age 24 or 25.

Great game by Niemi, looked alot better technically tonight!! Julien needs to wake up, separate Domi and Drouin and find a solution for the PP!!! Ugly win, but we’ll take the 2pts!!

He can’t separate drouin from Domi because he was bad with everyone else. Drouin is an anchor.

drouin is in TROUBLE!

By the way, who is Yoel Armia ?

I was referring to his decision to sell off vets. No matter what he says, as long as we are in the running for a PO spot, we wont sell off any vets that have value. But, if we start struggling with the tough upcoming schedule, I could see Berge selling off some valuable pieces like Shaw and maybe even Tatar.

The other day Julien said most of his players were injured. Boy does it show. They play like they are really beat up. Not having top scorters also push these guys beyond their limits. When Domi stopped scoring, you saw a serious dropin the team. How could we get a top scorer, they don't grow on threes. Panarin as a rental at the deadline, maybe?

As per Gagnon this morning.....his words, not mine

Hmm..No, not really. If Petry gets top pairing usage he starts to look a lot worse.

The Draft

 

[sheed36]

Didn't watch the game so what looked worse tonight? Drouin or the Habs PP or did both look equally terrible again tonight.

Cool. I knew I hadn't heard during yesterday's PC. That explains it. Thanks.

It’s mostly Toronto fans. They have a terrible blueline yet no defenseman is good enough to play for them.

A Rielly-Petry pairing would be very good.

 

[WatchfulElm]

By the way, who is Yoel Armia ?

He comes from the same country than Yesperi Kotkaniemi. Also the same continent than Yaromir Yagr.

That would not be wise. Panarin is already linked to the rangers. Only way you make this move is if the habs were a piece or two from the Cup, which is certainly not the case here.

I suspect the same is true of most NHL teams. Heck, the Bruins had 5 of their regulars Dmen actually out for games at some point. Teams have played over 40 games of hockey in 3 months, that's almost one game very 2 nights on average, in a physical sport. So ya, normal and that's why you have teams that can keep up with effort earlier in the season but as fatigue starts to kick in, talent becomes so much more important.
