Will Lindgren return someday?
I was talking more in general when up by one. I would have the same questionning if TB hadn't score. As for Niemi I would have thought about pulling him after the two shots from outside the blue line where he had trouble stopping it. It was clear his confidence/focus was off. I understand that Julien might need Niemi further down the line (esp. if Price is injured more seriously) and that he didn't want to put an ECHer in the net for him.
Drouin and Domi were non factors, they needed to be
he hasnt played games or practiced in a while...even if he gets cleared next week he will need time to get into game shape....so buckle up ....Ride McNiven just like we did Price in 2007-08..Price came out of AHL with 12 games experience...never looked back..24 wins in his first 41 NHL games...
Don Cherry thinks McNiven is good as Carey...let's see...
If they carried the play and created some sustained pressure maybe we wouldn’t have played the entire 3rd period in our zoneOk, we scored 5 goals. We need to win this game, no matter how one forward or the other played.
Basically the story of the season or we'd be a top team.Team played well overall IMO. Let down by a ****ty goalie.

The sub .900% goaltending gets a pass though? Okay.I think the story of the season is the bad D and the ***ty " special " teams.

Let's face it. Tampa Bay is too good, but at least the Habs gained two points against a lesser rival, Florida. To have even a slight chance against TG in the playoffs, they'd need bolstering from Suzuki and Poehling. Moreover, it's encouraging that the Habs scored five goals in a road game against the most formidable team in their division after having played the night before.
I 100% expected a loss especially with Niemi in back-back so shouldn't be so upset about it, it's true but it's the way we lost that pisses me off. Oh well we've done the same thing to other teams so on to the next game.
Price is over .900%, 2.84 GAA and played 30 games already so he's not the reason we aren't a top team already, but at a power-less play of 13% and a weak penalty kill along with a bad D is.
It's a darn good thing the Habs decided to go offense style this year...otherwise wow..lol we'd be sitting with about 22 pts right now...lol
It's not like TB played a 100% awful game. Vasi was awful too. I mean Kulak's and Benn's goals those are the type of goals a goalie like Vasi will allow around 10 times a year and he allowed two in the last game alone ... both goalies were awful. We played a terrible 3rd period and usually this is what happen when you sit back defensively on a 1 goal lead as early as the beginning of the 3rd period.
Tbay scored 6. They "need" to win this game. And did deservedly so.Ok, we scored 5 goals. We need to win this game, no matter how one forward or the other played.
Are you acting like a .904 is good? Or even decent? He's in the bottom 50% of the league. If you filter it by 15 games minimum, he's even lower. Goals Against, he's bottom half of the league as well.Price is over .900%, 2.84 GAA and played 30 games already so he's not the reason we aren't a top team already, but at a power-less play of 13% and a weak penalty kill along with a bad D is.
You mean it would be Therrien-ishTrying to play a defensive system with one of the 5 worst defense in the league would be 100% stupid imo.

I mean Price stats arent that good. He clearly dont have stats to be on top teams.Price is over .900%, 2.84 GAA and played 30 games already so he's not the reason we aren't a top team already, but at a power-less play of 13% and a weak penalty kill along with a bad D is.
