Pre-Game Talk: Montreal vs Pittsburgh

[sventington]

LOL.

Oh my GOD.

I can already see Parros on the ice with Mouillon.

I believe that is the first sign of the apocalypse.

Canadiens Montréal ‏@CanadiensMTL 2 min
Desharnais sera du match, Emelin et Diaz ne seront pas en uniforme ce soir. / Desharnais will play tonight, Emelin and Diaz are scratched

therrien just confirmed it -__-

Is this Therrien going with his gut feeling again???

Boullion and Murray are going to be turnstiles for the Pens

Decisions like this usually lead to coaches losing their jobs.

Perhaps the only positive out of this is Beaulieu will be forced to play increased minutes.

 

[overlords]

Words fail me. I mean... what is going on? Everyone else sees that he his willingly choosing a worse roster, right?

 

[Madevilz]

in b4 Bouillon and Murray have a good game

We all know that Murray and Beaulieu will be benched at that Boullion will eventually play with Subban and Gorges with Markov and the habs will overload two pairings with minutes by the end of the game.

If they finish with -2, that will be considered a good game for me.

 

[sventington]

I can live with Emelin being scratched. He has been making bad decisions. Maybe he looked particularly awful in practice and they're waiting for an easier opponent. But the combination of Bouillon and Murray is just...

 

[madhi19]

Slow and slower are back together! Well it not like the Habs are playing one of the most offensive team in the league...

Words fail me. I mean... what is going on? Everyone else sees that he his willingly choosing a worse roster, right?

We are back to the Gauthier era of getting stuck with dead wood and not doing anything to clean it out.

 

[Habit11]

Phew. For a second there I thought MT had seen the light. Can't wait to see Malkin or Crosby against Murray/Bouillon. Boucher should be buying himself some new whistles and markers because it's only a matter of time.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Even Diaz hasn't been that bad to be scratched in favour of Mouillon.

 

[Et le But]

Therrien is the worst coach in the NHL.

 

[Andy]

I guarentee the habs will win tonight....just because that's is what usually happens, we complain and then we look stupid for having complained.

So I'm calling a Habs win...3-1.

 

[SB164]

I have a feeling that our new D pairings will make us a much better team and put us back on track. No more Bouillon and Murray. No more Emelin on the right side.

It was fun while it lasted.

 

[TorontoHabs90]

Therrien probably has a gut feeling that Murray is going to play awesome vs. his former team... I dunno?

 

[JohnLennon]

Looks like both Emelin and Diaz will be scratched tonight. Therrien is the worst coach in the history of the NHL.

@JBernierJDM:
Douglas Murray confirme qu'il joue ce soir. Possibilité qu'Emelin et Diaz passent leur tour???? #ch #habs

Translation: Murray confirms that he is playing tonight. Both Emelin and Diaz scratched?

edit:

It's official. Emelin and Diaz will be scratched tonight.

@JBernierJDM:
Therrien confirme que Diaz et Emelin seront laissés de côté. #ch #habs

Is this real life?

What! I've been level-headed this whole time on Therrien, and I know Emelin has been playing just as poorly as Murray and Bouillon, but why on Earth would you bench Diaz as well? Murray and Bouillon might just be the worst pairing since, as mentioned earlier, Kaberle and Campoli!

I'm so frustrated with this decision. I was really looking forward to seeing Emelin-Diaz once again. I really can't see the logic in this besides him wanting a more veteran presence or someone being traded, which is very unlikely.

Not happy at all!

His former team of 30 games ?

What's his feeling for Bouillon ?

 

[zzoo]

In the last dozen games, we have gone something like this: W L W L W L W L....
We are very constant, aren't we ?

 

[SB164]

Therrien showing the league tonight why he got fired from both teams.

 

[Analyzer*]

Are we being trolled ?

Does he owe Pittsburgh money ? Not like they need help anyways.

Does he hate Price ?

 

[CH25]

I can just imagine Murray/Bouillon and Parros line vs Crosby's line. Gonna be fun.

 

[hototogisu]

To be honest, I put more of the blame on Bergevin than Therrien. Therrien is just rotating crap in for the crap that he's rotating out (although that's a bit too harsh on Diaz, who has clearly outplayed Emelin and Mouillon this year, but I digress). Bergevin's the one who has let our D flounder all year and only (finally) called up one of the kids last week.

TANK 2014!!! I'd have preferred trading players instead of scratching them but...... Ekblad here we come?

Our d has been surprisingly healthy.

Bergevin, like all of us were expecting to have at least 3 dman out with injuries at all time.

Emelin on the left side, with Gorges on the right side did well. Diaz (granted pairing with Bouillon, or Murray) was the 2nd worst dman. Normally it's Cube, or big Cube.

 

[jpchabby]

Whenever I see Bouillon is playing, I try to cheer myself up with a fun fact:

Brett Lebda, with the Leafs, won a game 9-3, and finished the game with an amazing -3.

I'm still waiting for Bouillon to beat that!

In all seriousness though, Bouillon is a great guy, but everytime I see he's gonna play, I cry a little inside.

 

[Peteux]

Oh wow. I'm speechless. "Therrien qu'un pas bon, Michel"
