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

[sandysan]

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

Oh and Drouin clearly took a night off.

So expected and expected?

 

[JianYang]

Truthfully, so would TB. Vasi was just as bad as Niemi.

Not a chance. Niemi couldn't even handle shots from center ice.

 

[ahmedou]

Difficult to swallow it...

 

[PaulD]

Team played well overall IMO. Let down by a ****ty goalie.

and helped by one in the other end

 

[Zorba]

lol..would McNevin let in 6 tonight?

That’s not the point. Niemi is our back up and he’s horrendous. He almost never gives the habs a chance to win. You can blame this guy or that guy but it was all Niemi tonight

 

[Habaneros]

Thanks Niemi for a nice run last season but this was your last game as a Hab.

last 5 games he let in

6
3
7
3
6

It's the NHL, Bergy goona need to look around/make a move

 

[thewall]

Bruins have halak and rask.. we have price and swiss cheese niemi.. bruins will stay ahead because of their backup depth.

 

[1909]

4 pages already... Must had been a loss....

 

[le_sean]

The worst part is, knowing hockey players, they will all apologize for letting HIM down. f***ing sieve.

 

[CH25]

and helped by one in the other end

He's the best goalie they have.

 

[ahmedou]

What the hell is a gardien volant

A forwardplayer who replaces a goly in Futsal

 

[murray]

I’m mad at Niemi, but... supremely annoyed with Drouin. Get yer head out of your ass, buddy.

 

[sandysan]

That 5th goal was a back breaker. Terrible rebound on a soft shot with no screen. Im sorry but that lost is on Niemi.

We win this one with 31 in net.

My goalie union membership compels me to say that the rebound was Uber juicy but Mete didn't do anyone any favors getting so completely outmuscled in front of the net.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I will say this though: what was Domi's line doing that late?

 

[zx81]

The habs didnt give up much in the 3rd period. Niemi let them down.

They barely touched the damn puck though.
They needed better performances by Niemi but also from Weber and the whole Domi's line.

 

[David Suzuki]

That 5th goal was a back breaker. Terrible rebound on a soft shot with no screen. Im sorry but that lost is on Niemi.

We win this one with 31 in net.

Probably win it with McNiven in

 

[Habaneros]

That’s not the point. Niemi is our back up and he’s horrendous. He almost never gives the habs a chance to win. You can blame this guy or that guy but it was all Niemi tonight

No, im saying he(McNevin) might have let in 4 and we win...lol

I dont think McNevin lets in 6...

 

[Riddick412]

What a crap way to lose. IMO it's unacceptable to ice a backup this bad 2 nights in a row. Should give up some draft picks for a replacement, we don't do anything with them anyways.

 

[Kriss E]

Not a chance. Niemi couldn't even handle shots from center ice.

Benn scored...that's all you need to know about Vasi's game.

 

[PaulD]

It's the best goalie they have.

and he had a bad night....... Benn scored for Christ sake.

Tbay played poorly and won.

Did Drouin dress tonight?

 

[NobleSix]

Hey guys, just be thankful that Price isnt really hurt and will be back as soon as the Habs get back to town.

It could be worse.

 

[Zorba]

and helped by one in the other end

Niemi almost allowed goals from centre ice. vasi didn’t
This is Niemi fault

 

[De Montreal]

I will say this though: what was Domi's line doing that late?

Domi individually has been doing okay. Drouin has not. Maybe time to put Shaw back with those two... or hopefully Armia is ready to go vs Dallas

 

[Adriatic]

Worst part is Niemi will play next game.

 

[Treb]

Guys, it's McNiven, not McNevin!

Sorry, been seeing it all night and it pisses me off

 

[The Nightman]

Weber with his worst performance as a hab.

 

[Oryxo]

I will say this though: what was Domi's line doing that late?

Especially with how bad they looked on their previous shift.

 

[Zorba]

No, im saying he(McNevin) might have let in 4 and we win...lol

I dont think McNevin lets in 6...

Ahh. Well then I agree.
