Yep, 4th in the league with a .842 win percentage when scoring first.

But....but.....but how can that be? Therrien is an idiot and Bergevin is his moron brother. At least that's what half of the posters on this board are telling me.

That is the key to our game, score first and for the most part, hang on for dear life and depend on Price and Buddah.

 

[peate]

Wow, that's amazing! I'm sure not many teams can claim that!

[MasterDecoy]

that stat feels like bizarro world to me

also, wouldn't that mean therrien is doing something right? guess not

 

[jpchabby]

The only conclusion is that we are the best team.

Ever.

 

[BlackStar]

It doesn't matter, all our weaknesses trump our strengths, we won't go far in the playoffs.

Michel Therrien

I have to say it's getting almost as funny reading people's new creative ways to discredit anything he does as it is reading them discredit anything DD has done. Not sure which one takes the cake though.

All that crap aside. You have to give the guy credit. I thought playing Budaj last night was a mistake but he just keeps making the right calls. Has the team going right now too. Talked about character and how proud he was of the players last night. Personally the guy is growing on me. He seems to have that room thinking as a unit and wanting to play for each other.

 

[Brainiac]

Well, maybe it shows that Therrien is good with intermissions speeches. He seems to be a good motivator, let's give him that.

His bench management though...

Sad but kind of true.

Sorry, what was his previous "right call"... ? Or the one before?

Habs played a good game against Boston, and everything went right, such that even while being outplayed you could see a team working hard and getting the breaks, and showing character and commitment. All good. But I don't really understand how that one game balances an entire season of poor coaching.

Now I'm happy. TY

Well, off the top of my head and most recent would be playing Bourque. Bourque scores. Putting Bouillon back in the lineup after sitting him for a long period and he comes back and looks good and scores the OT winner. Sure probably some luck, but he has the feel for how his players are performing and has had the hot hand lately.
