Montreal took Beaulieu in that 2011 Kucherov draft,It was a great pick for Tampon as he went well into the 2nd round.

 

[sandviper]

Kucherov comes across as a bit of an arrogant ass as well

Maybe so but with 93 points and a quarter of the season to go, he’s earned the right.

 

[Burke the Legend]

Damn lol. Drouin was bad though and he probably cost them the game against the Preds. Julien is also a veteran coach, he knows who he can call out by name and who can't.

Drouin's dumb turnover on a change for freebie breakaway would steam any coach.

 

[Forum93]

Not just Danault and Drouin, but Weise didn't shown enough restraint and took a stupid penalty, so obvious right in front of the ref. They've got to learn to keep their emotions in check and get the other guy when the scoreboard allows it.

I agree about Weise, that was an idiotic penalty to take but game was already over, no way Habs were coming back the way they and TB played in the 3rd.

 

[Runner77]

Naaaah. If a guy has term and fits a need make the move, but don't trade for guys who are UFA's. Terrible idea. And I am probably higher on this Habs team then a lot here. Just ride it out.

If a trade for a player with term who fills a need, is available now -- then take it. If not, boot it forward to the summer.

The Canes had an easy schedule lately and the Habs had a really hard one.

Yes and they have more easy ones this month but still they won 16 of their last 20, going 16-3-1.

Since 12-31 - W vs phi, W vs phi, W vs jackets, W vs Ott, W vs NYI, L vs TB, W vs Buf, W vs Nash, L vs NYR, L vs Ott, W vs Edm, OTL vs Flames, W vs Nucks, W vs Vegas, L vs Flames, W vs Pitt, W vs Sabers, W vs NYR, L vs NJ, W vs Ott, W vs Edm, W vs Dal

I think they were behind 0-2 at that point. I know the odds of a comeback were slim but there were still some 7 or 8 minutes in the period at the time.

Not just this seasonbut every time I see him play.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Petry and Tatar should be moved as soon as Brook and Suzuki are ready.

Which could take a while.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I saw Julien's post-game presser and he usually doesn't call out any player following a loss. But tonight he did. He named Drouin.

I mean it was the 3rd game in a row where a stupid neutral zone pass by Drouin led to a goal against.

Julien is right to call him out. Enough is enough already. He's not scoring and is hurting the team defensively.

 

[murray]

Man, I hate this game.

The goals against us were all just bonkers shots. No blaming Price there.

Drouin, though...man. How can you go from that Jets game last week to this? That giveaway and subsequent non-effort on the backcheck was absolute dogs#!t. Eff that guy. I can’t believe that horrible effort.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Burned by fat-face Erne.

I had to look him up, yes he has a very meaty face.

Yeah.. gotta give Tampa a lot of credit for drafting Kucherov in the second round. I googled some mock drafts only to see him in 3rd to even 6th round.

But lots of team missed out on him. **** happens. Tampa even drafted Namestnikov first before Kucherov..

 

[Forum93]

Yes there's no excuse for that penalty regardless of the score or time left in the game, showed poor discipline from Weise and made him look foolish.

 

[David Suzuki]

Shows how much of the draft is about luck lol

 

[Genesis76]

We won’t win a playoff game

are we even gonna play one?

Yes I noticed they took Namestnikov first...funny how it all works out in the end.

The way it sits right now,I can't see anyone beating this Tampon Bay team for the cup.They have the best goalie and best forwards in hockey along with one of the best defense.They are playing like hockey robots right now.Almost not human.They need to be checked for performance enhancing drugs.Chewy Cooper seems sly and slippery enough to help pull that off.

 

[Natey]

Obviously you didn't get me. I didn't say anything about Weise. I'm talking about ultra-negative, whiney Habs fans who always take the opportunity to crap on players when they're down the disappear when they have a good game.

Where are all the ass-hats that were crapping all over Danault earlier this season when he only had 2 goals? Where are they now?

No idea, I've never crapped on Danault for more than a bad game.

So if I go through your message history, you're going to be positive about every player all the time?

 

[HuGo Sham]

I believe Taranna could take Tampa. Seriously. Now, Taranna would lose playing the Booins, go figure. But I believe they have the makeup to beat Tampa. Call me crazy. I think Taranna would be TB's kryptonite.

nope. they don't have TB's D , not even close

 

[JianYang]

So you expect the entire league to look at Tampa and say

1) they are going to kill us
2) let's just roll over and take it?

Right now no team stacks up against them straight up.

So you don't play em straigh up. If you lose you are no worse off. If you get them to not play to their strengths, you have a chance.

It's a physical and at times violent game. Plenty of opportunities to test an opponents resolve. Plenty

Yeah, I'm just talking about taking the law into your own hands.

Like I said, a Washington style team probably has the best chance.

This team is unreal, people were excited when we were tied during the 2nd period but little did they know that Tampa would destroyed us any minute. They normally pick up the pace in the 3rd and like predicted they destroyed us.

You want to make the playoffs? That’s fine but stay the f*** away from Tampa Bay.

We aren’t in their league and we might never be.

Hopefully not.

When you’re turning the puck over multiple times in multiple tight games causing goals against, he doesn’t care who can take it and who can’t, he’s going to call you out by name regardless. Drouin has been pathetic offensively and defensively the last couple of games.
