We lose. Hope you'll be healthy soon Larry

[CanadienShark]

Wow Habs... you ****ed that up big time. Win tomorrow. Hope Lars is OK. Hope Gryba gets hit by a bus.

 

[hototogisu]

The Sens got to where they are with all their injuries because they rarely make mistakes. Which means you have to be just about letter perfect when you play against them. Two things did us in:

1) Failing to capitalize on the 5-on-3. Going up by 2 at that stage would have been huge. You can't waste a minute-plus 5-on-3 in the playoffs and not have it come back to bite you.

2) Price on the 2nd and 4th goals, and Gorges/Bourque on the 3rd goal. You can't give up bad goals, and you can't turn the puck over in your own zone.

Also the team as a whole lacked urgency when they needed it most. We've had trouble giving consistent 60 minute efforts all season and we needed our 3rd period to be our best period tonight, and it wasn't. Price, Desharnais, Ryder, Gionta, Prust, Gorges and Diaz all need to be much, much better.

Back at it tomorrow, at least.

 

[Burke the Legend]

3 sucks:
-Desharinais
-Diaz
-Markov

hon. mention: Price

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

I hate Desharnais but Pacioretty has been just as pathetic. Use your ****ing size and drive the net instead of taking these weak ass wrist shots.

 

[HuGo Sham]

And that game right there is why Bergevin did not ''go for it''.

Team is still very far from being a playoff contender. What a pathetic 3rd period after no killer instinct on that 5 on 3, with Price at the top of the list to blame.

agreed. team not built for playoff goals. Desharnais, Gionta, ...struggle in N/S game...Eller gets injured and our Size at center evaporates. (save for youngest center in NHL)
no size outside a raw rookie on D...
things have to improve

 

[Stive Morgan]

The ironic thing is, Eller probably would have contributed a point or two on the powerplay, but it wouldn't have happened if he didn't get jacked.

 

[Godzilla]

**** GRYBA !!! ****ng piece of ****!! **** YOU !!!!!!!!

 

[izzy75]

I wanted them to get bigger in the offseason.

But we can't score on a 5-3... IN THE PLAYOFFS.

And our goalie is average.

And we're small.

I predict another 3 years of mediocre hockey.

 

[llamateizer]

gorges -3
diaz -2

I want to see some Kaberle

 

[overlords]

It's as if they had the barberpole jerseys on...

 

[NHLcrazy]

Pretty much.



In the west scoring 2 goals is enough to win because their goalies are great. With Price we need 5.

Not scoring on a 1:15 min 5 on 3 to take a 2 goal lead sure didn't help either...

 

[Luigi Habs]

1) Eller better be okay or his absence could have a similar effect to Emelin's
2) Price....
3) our defense is soffffttt. Diaz and Gorges were particularly bad today.
4) Desharnais, Ryder, Gionta WAKE UP!!!

 

[No More Subban]

I bet Caps/Pens fans are saying hey now you know how we feel in 2010.

I knew Anderson can win a game by himself.

 

[fsdev905]

Anyone NOT blaming Price needs a shrink.

qft...

 

[SirClintonPortis]

I hate Desharnais but Pacioretty has been just as pathetic. Use your ****ing size and drive the net instead of taking these weak ass wrist shots.

Sad that Latendresse drove the net more than he or anyone but Gallagher.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

We needed to show more killer instinct on that 5-on-3 PP. Got way too cute.

Price giving up that 2nd goal was a killer - and the 3rd and 4th goal. But, we were still playing well up to the tying goal. That sucked the sails out of the Habs game.

Price was awful and so was his buddy Gorges.

Get well soon Eller.

 

[Nashy]

So when a Hab player gets blown up....the response is, do nothing as far as retribution, and lose the game.

Can't say that flies with me.

 

[LeMAD]

Quite impressed with how bad was Diaz tonight.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I want to see some Kaberle

What the hell happened to Gorges? He used to be a great D but now he's just making a mockery of hockey.

 

[OpenIceHit]

Does this team have a captain? You know, the guy who's supposed to be an example for the others? The guy who lead his team?....

 

[Natey]

I can't really say horrible effort.. we got 50 shots, but if you read between the lines, a lot of players weren't great. Gionta, DD, Plekanec, Markov, Gorges, Diaz (post-Eller), etc.

The super rookies and Rene Bourque were the best players on the ice, a long with Subban.

We were flat in the 3rd, but its understanding why after Eller left.

Price **** the bed. I'm 100% in the Budaj starting boat.

 

[Church]

Hope Eller will be healthy soon. I'm off to bed...

 

[FireBurningBin]

I wanted them to get bigger in the offseason.

And we're small.

I predict another 3 years of mediocre hockey.

Holy overreaction

 

[David_99]

Good thing I'm not a player. My stick would have automatically become a weapon after that Eller hit. My anger issues are one of the reasons I didn't pursue hockey as a career. The other reason being I can't skate worth ****

 

[Em Ancien]

Only one game, hardly that big a deal. Terribly disappointed in Price. He could've won it, he just didn't.
