GDT: Senators @ Canadiens | March 13th @ 7:00pm | Kaspars Edition

Blame Lehner all you want, of the 3 attempts Ottawa made only Silfverberg made Price actually move, Alfie and Turris skated down and threw it into Price with almost zero stick handing

It's a combination of both, IMO.

Lehner sucked in the SO and out shooters sucked outside of Silf, who is as automatic as you can ask for.

 

[Micklebot]

Two points of note.
1) Alfie should not shoot top 3 anymore. He always goes five hole and i'm pretty sure the entire Eastern conference knows it.
2) Lehner is pretty bad in shootouts.

He didn't this time or last time.

 

[Step]

why the **** was turris in the shootout? someone please tell me.

Because he's 2 for 4 this year. Step back from the ledge - we just played the best team in the east and got a point.

 

[Sensin5]

Seriously, Claude Julien has a point.

It is hard to believe these so-called professionals fall for it every time. Habd almost never get called for diving (or too many men) yet they do both ALL THE TIME.

Good on the boys to earn a point while being shorthanded for half the third period.

Alfie seems to go short side more than 5 hole. I agree that he shouldn't go top 3. Maybe give Zibs a shot?

 

[blahblah3]

We are going to tie ourselves out of a playoff spot. Win some f'ing games!

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Yeah I love Alfie as much as the next guy, but we have to give his spot in shootouts to Latendresse or Zibanejad.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Alfie and Turris have absolutely no moves, just skate in and shoot. I know we have very little offensive talent but those two should not be in the shootout.

Lehner needs shootout practice, bites on way too many moves.

 

[BonkTastic]

I hate to say it, but a Dauga-spin might have stolen us a Dauga-win in the shootout tonight...

 

[Tundraman]

With Lehner we need to score 3 of 3 to win. It's reached the point where I think they should bring in a cold Bishop for the shootouts he couldn't do worse. At least we'd have a chance. Sorry Lehner but you stink on shootouts. Now you know what you need to work on. Back to Bingo for more practice kid.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Moral of the story - dive dive dive for PPs in regulation. Prevents OT or a shootout

No kidding.

And the worst part, you think of all the legends who wore that Habs jersey throughout the years. What a disrespectful display to some of the greats in the game.

It's such a shame, and the reason I feel we lost the game. We had great momentum after PW's goal (albeit soft), which was pretty much extinguished by those 3 consecutive penalties.

 

[QuattroFTW]

He didn't this time or last time.

I should have corrected myself in saying that he rarely ever dekes. Unless you have a bullet-like release you're going to have to start going lateral and faking out the goalie if you want a chance to score.

 

[mcnorth]

Lehner is brutal in the shootout. He has cost us some points.

Wrong.

He has been the reason we got the one we did most games he's played.

 

[Dionysus]

Another point. These shootout losses are annoying, but this team keeps on chugging. Another good effort.

 

[McManked]

I hate to say it, but a Dauga-spin might have stolen us a Dauga-win in the shootout tonight...

He can never do the same move again.

He'd have to change it up a bit.

 

[Exique*]

I hate to say it, but a Dauga-spin might have stolen us a Dauga-win in the shootout tonight...

This. Would've loved to see his attempt...

 

[Patvolcom65]

No kidding.

Thats why their going down. Theyre bowing down to their legend.

 

[SevenOfSpades]

Turris' shootout attempt made me Dauga-cringe. I want to break his Dauga-shins.

 

[benjiv1]

Zibanejad has just as many goals as Zetterberg in less games played.

I love that people had written him off.

 

[Micklebot]

He can never do the same move again.

He'd have to change it up a bit.

Spin right instead of left next time?

 

[danishh]

for all we know mac wanted to but daugy didnt come back from the subban block.

 

[exv91]

Because he's 2 for 4 this year. Step back from the ledge - we just played the best team in the east and got a point.

yeah, we just played the first place team but had to do it with one hand tied behind our backs with the freaking garbage calls all night long...I don't take any solice in the one point, I think we were robbed by garbage calls...

 

[Senscore]

Enough of this one point nonsense. We need some friggin wins.

 

[Exique*]

He can never do the same move again.

He'd have to change it up a bit.

The thing is he can easily switch it up...

As a goalie, Bishop says he has no problem with players wanting to try new moves.

"I know when I saw it the first time I wasn't sure if he was serious or messing around," Bishop said. "He's beat me a few times with it because he can do different things off of it which makes it really effective."
