Post-Game Talk: Murphy's Law kicks in. Habs lose 8-2 to Ducks

[Megaforce]

I posted this when I was Drouin92. JD has reached new levels of bad. I can’t watch him anymore.

I can recommend a good eye doctor. Drouin was the only player on the Habs who showed something good last night.

Congrats on your new user name. Fine choice, I might add. You should be OK for a long time.

Thanks. All I had to do was take your advice.

So your upcoming user name change is going to involve KK?

Your Drouin suffering days will soon be behind you.

However, I must add that Drouin’s stellar play made it a tough decision.

 

[Megaforce]

Drouin is a garbage player. Yes I said garbage. His defenders and I was one of them can come after me
This guy is just awful. He has zero ****ing drive
Bergevin or whoever the manager is this summer has to look long and hard about trading him
Don’t give us the team had a bad attitude schtick and keep that god damn floater

Drouin is doing great. Calm down.

Not exactly sure what decision you're taking. But Drouin showed a lot of speed, stickhandling and flair last night. Why aren't you criticizing Weise or Armia who were both absolutely terrible? What's your agenda to pick on the best player out there?'

Gallagher was really bad. Drouin, when the game was still in reach, was perched alone in the slot and Gallagher's pass, from about five feet away, managed to miss Drouin's stick by three feet. Where's your criticism of him?

While Mrb1p was counting Drouin's turnovers and gave up after a while, we can see a disturbing trend continuing:

He really isn’t. He floats and doesn’t have any real impact on the game. This is coming from someone who was a huge JD fan. The key word is was.

If the Habs lose to the Wings at home on Tuesday they can say good bye to making the playoffs this season. Considering they'll likely play Tampa I'd rather miss and take my chances on winning the draft lottery instead, which would likely be better odds than winning against Tampa.

+1000

So the goal posts are being moved again? I thought this week's west coast swing was going to be the determining week.

We only come away with two points in three games so now we conveniently postpone their chances to the next game?

Maybe moved a bit since the Habs did manage to get 2 points out west. I expected the Habs to get swept on their 3 game California road trip and expected 1 point out of that yearly disaster but they managed to get 2 points out of 6 so it wasn't a complete disaster. After losing the last 2 games the Habs desperately need these 2 home points against a Wings team they've owned this season so there's no excuse for losing the next game.

The Habs have been lucky the teams they're competing with for a wildcard spot have also been losing lately and it's kept every team close in the standings.

OK, lottery numbers please.

What great consistency from the golden boy. 2 games with points in his past 13. That’s world class. Drouin’s approaching superstardom. What a player we have on our hands.

Lol... and some have the gull to say "calm down, he's doing fine"

 

[Runner77]

He's still going to end up with good year-end totals. I hope management can flip him for fair value, otherwise we'll have no choice but to hold. Yzerman played his cards like a pro.

 

[MaxDummy]

Bergevin nuked the D corps that helped Price be all-world

AMEN

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

OK, lottery numbers please.

Will keep them for me, sorry.

I'll trade you a tall one for them.

Drouin doesn't float when he's entering the zone with the puck, something nobody else on the team is fast or skilled enough to do.
Drouin floats when he's hunting for a goal, like all good offensive players do.
That he hasn't scored lately doesn't mean much. Armia scored three goals and he looks like he belongs in the AHL.
Drouin can't score when guys like Gallagher miss him by three feet with their passes.
Drouin is the farthest thing from being a problem so picking on him reflects more on you than anybody else.

Murphy's law, back when I were a student at Dawson, was basically the following : "Everything that "can" "will" go wrong". Murphy's law is coined after an astrophycisist prepping space missions. I finally get the title of the threat, it means the Habs dodged probabilities all year and the fact other teams are more talented is catching up, yup! Or maybe it means it's Niemi's fault or maybe it means CP is a real OG? It comes down to talent, who has talent on this team? Domi the mystical bulldog is alright, Drouin the stud suffers from anxiety disorder, Weber shoots as hard as MAB, Tatar is a fine rag-tag Carthagenian journeyman, Mete is fast as lightning; but, who has talent out there? KK and Suzuki have talent, I can't believe how lucky we are to have KK, he holds unto the puck, has the best coordination I've ever seen on the Habs, he's basically the highest end of what Ottawa wanted Logan Brown to be... but more than a playmaker, with a snipe and a quick release! Signing Skinner this summer would make a huge difference; and, it's only a beginning.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Now you're just inventing stuff. What a waste of time.

Not my problem if you think the 4th line was our main problem to fix to help us in the playoffs and that Niemi was doing fine with his 3.78 goals per games average.

Niemi plays one game in ten

The fourth line plays every game

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Drouin is doing great. Calm down.

please watch the games , because clearly ur not

 

[Runner77]

It all began with a fig bend ...

 

[MaxDummy]

Niemi plays one game in ten

The fourth line plays every game

Niemi plays 60 minutes every ten games.

4th line should be playing the same. They are bad. Really bad.

Same ol'. Bergy needs more time, I guess.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

So I missed the game (Thank God).

Were there any bright spots in last night's fiasco or was it utter brutality all around?

Was Price in net for all 8 goals?

Anaheim can't buy a go this season and they scored 8!!

It can't be fatigue can it?

A quick sum up of last night going show would be appreciated?
