Post-Game Talk: The Habs are bad and they should feel bad. Blow lead and lose 3-2 in OT vs BUF

[Drew4u]

The Sabres are getting carried hard by Skinner and Eichel. Won't last forever

 

[Randomhero]

F**k Buffalo man hate them , are defence is absolutely atrocious . Niemi shouldn’t be in the nhl. Call up lindgren or trade for a real nhl back up this is becoming ridiculous .. Niemi looks so foolish in net we are lucky we got the wins we did with him because when he makes a save it just hits him and is based off pure luck. Smh

This is the coldest of ice cold takes. Holy cow.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

They're doing a good job of it

I remember Tyler Myers going after our guys and injuring them. It's on the record he injured Gomez once. Cammalleri probably also also but I can't find any report.

 

[26Mats]

Skinner? Nah.

Habs' defense is the one that truly needs a lot of fixing.

lol, yeah this team is so set in all areas, all we need to do is fix the d and then we're perennial contenders.

And by the way, what kind of d do you think Skinner fetches in a trade now, genius?????

 

[David Suzuki]

Was it danault who took an L on that clear? Yikes

Bad game overall from what little i saw. Happy to get a point. Only one more game without weber! When is byron back?

 

[OldCraig71]

Domi is a terrific hockey player....that still needs some anger management. He was frustrated by what Larsson did to him...and the guy pout till the end. That pass in OT was downright stupid. Imagine the penalty after.

It was brutal and it cost us the game and if Drouin did it I would be all over him.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

He was terrible all game until...

Well, that's what elite goal scorers do. He did hit 37 goals once, but since little attention is paid to Carolina...

 

[BushFireRecordsRedux]

Why do people freak out after losses, I mean it sucked but this is a pretty bad team. I don't get why the Kotkaniemi line wasn't used as the 3rd wore on, so far the 1 thing about Julien and the staff is they haven't sheltered Kotkaniemi. Admittedly the 4th line played well but makes no sense not to just roll 4 then.

 

[Rapala]

Buffalo is good this year. They've got talent along with size. Buffalo and Ottawa will be difficult all season long.

I wonder if we can beat Florida or Detroit?

 

[Koivu11]

How can a team be so bad in OT?

 

[Habssince89]

The following deserve to play:

Weber
Petry
Reilly
Juulsen(IR)
Kulak*

The following should play since they are the best we have:
Mete
Ouellet
Schlemko (I think he's slightly better than the next category)

The following should never play:
Benn
Alzner

 

[Kriss E]

Clod is clueless when we head in to OT...just clueless.

There really isn't much he could have done there. He put his best guys on the ice, Domi made a stupid pass and took an even dumber penalty.

 

[ahmedou]

MB,
Even Village des Valeurs same wouldnt purchase for gratis yours D's...

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

40 shots given up again.

Thought Clod was known as a defensive coach. Coulda fooled me

Heard the same thing about Carey Price 2 years ago

 

[Forum93]

The ****? 17 goals in 23 games for Jeff Skinner?!?!?! Where **** did that come from?

Same place Domi's production came from, no one saw that either.

 

[HuGo Sham]

9 straight losses in 3 on 3 OT

 

[ArtPeur]

The ****? 17 goals in 23 games for Jeff Skinner?!?!?! Where **** did that come from?

Skinner is a great scoring machine, he had been less effective with so many injuries/concussions and a lesser Carolina team

He has 3x30 goals season, one of 37. Another 3x20+

 

[GHJimmy]

Yup the tanks been on all that time

 

[peate]

I saw Kulak hit the net with a slapper from the blue line; that's enough for me. keep him up.

 

[BLONG7]

There really isn't much he could have done there. He put his best guys on the ice, Domi made a stupid pass and took an even dumber penalty.

Benn is on the ice in OT...that is just dumb...We are 0-5 in OT, and alot of that, is on the coach and his moronic decisions at times...just my 2 cents.

 

[Rapala]

Pacioretty vs buffalo.. not sute if thats our last ot win.

I think it was.

 

[sheed36]

How can a team be so bad in OT?

I'd like to hear someone in the media ask Julien this.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Agostino and Deslauriers got more ice time than Kotkaniemi.
Let that sink in. Clode is a f***ing idiot.

Two AHL plugs > Kotkaniemi apparently.

 

[Tuggy]

Tough loss. Should have finished this one off.

Much better defensively at least. 4th line had a good game.

 

[Max2]

Niemi pitched a 925% today....not bad at all.

 

[26Mats]

Buffalo is good this year. They've got talent along with size. Buffalo and Ottawa will be difficult all season long.

They went out and got Skinner and Sheary this summer at bargain bin prices while our GM passed on them. They deserve to beat us.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Another useless point.
