Post-Game Talk: Niemi with the worst performance I've ever seen by a Habs goalie in 6-5 loss to Tampa

[Tyson]

Damn fine time for Lindgren to get hurt

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Can't wait for the ''wasn't Niemi's fault'' dudes to show up.

Oh and Drouin clearly took a night off.

 

[NobleSix]

Niemi is next level trash.

 

[Habaneros]

Everything was going so well until @Habaneros posted this abomination of a pizza.

only is Pricer was in net...

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Sigh, Habs played great for 2 periods and then needed solid goaltending to seal the deal...Unfortunately Niemi played back to back and well is Niemi...

they win it with replacement level goaltending

 

[Randomhero]

To all who want Niemi gone: Who do you get as a proven replacement? What assets can we afford to give up to get him? We arent a deep enough team with talent we can afford to deal.

It was a back to back against a team that is seemingly using cheat codes to stay under the salary cap

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Boston get 2 points, Buffalo get 1 point, Islanders get 2 points, Florida get 2 points, Montréal get none

That's on you Niemi - and they better be rubbing some of the finest oil on Price irritation right now

I don't think it's a good idea to rub a baby in oil.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

I'm gonna say it

In all seriousness, Niemi should never have started, why wouldn't they give McNiven a chance?

 

[Max2]

I like Niemi but he was awful and has been awful all season.The backup position needs to be analyzed asap.

 

[le_sean]

f*** you Niemi. Seriously f*** you. I don’t even have any words for how much I f***ing hate you right now.

 

[GSP2018]

Last minute goal. Now we know how the teams we beat like this so far this year!! Nice try boys !! Very good 2018 season. Proud of you guys !!!

 

[Tyson]

This game is where your so called best players needed to show up

 

[Nashy]

I also find Tampa gets away with a lot of the Babcock esque interferences lol

Yep...picks galore in the offensive zone, looked like a basketball game.

 

[Zorba]

they win it with Red Light Racicot

Ran out of gas. That simple.

1) If the plan is to make the playoffs, we're so ****ed when Price gets injured (not if).

2) Mete showed he's a rookie tonight.

3) Drouin was a total non factor tonight.

Whatever man. Niemi f***ed this whole game up
Blaming anyone but him if ridiculous

 

[Born in 1909]

Good fight by the Habs.

Too bad they couldn't make it to OT.

 

[1909]

A great team effort on the road vs the best NHL team ruined by subpar goaltending.....

They deserved to go OT or SO and get at least one point.

 

[Kriss E]

Can't wait for the ''wasn't Niemi's fault'' dudes to show up.

Oh and Drouin clearly took a night off.

Niemi was garbage...so was Vasi though..

 

[Tuggy]

What a shitty way to lose at least a point.

Either way, big picture, good road trip so far.

 

[Treb]

Bottom 9 came to play, first line not so much.

 

[mariolemieux66]

The effort was there, but not enough against the big boys.

 

[Clumsyhab]

Niemi should get waived after this game. Started 10 games this season and gave up at least 3 in all games. His .870 save % and 4.00+ GAA is worst in the league. Disgusting performance tonight.

 

[TRG]

Niemi is done. Needs to retire.

 

[Nashy]

Niemi is Scrivens 2.0

 

[ahmedou]

Bon sang avec un gardien volant mon CH l'aurait pogner cette victoire

 

[Koivu11]

Niemi’s performances last season were an aberration. That is clear.
