"What 's gone and what's past help should be past grief" Habs lose 5-2

[habalifeok]

Was at the Habs-Jets game tonite. I swear half the jerseys in the stands were Red.
My son kept mentioning that Habs iced puck a lot . We noticed the Jets cleared zone by flipping puck high to centre ice area where they could try and beat stationary Habs defensemen as they waited for the puck to come back down.
I now see why Bergevin tried to unload Eller and Emelin.
If I had a choice of two Jets players easily Ladd and Byfuglin . Ladd is a miserable player to play against.
Montreal had many feeble clearing attempts sad to watch especially so called first line.
Desharnais tries but thats all I can say.
As far as the D goes Beaulieu is ok,Patteryn as well. Markov very savvy and Subban surprised me as it seems like he didnt care in the latter part of the game. As far as Petry is concerned I would look at other options.
Stands were chanting Carey but I think they were mocking Tokarski.

Pinniweg made good trades, particulatly with Buffalo. The deals made by the Habs at the deadline weren't nearly as good.

Haha yes I did! Saw it on the Jets boards and smiled, I love it when rivals pay homage to our best players, it almost makes me proud. I PVR'd the game but decided not to watch it after accidentaly finding out what the final score was...

Who were the best and worst players tonight for the Habs ?

 

[Kojo]

You guys are so upset. Funny.

Was at the Habs-Jets game tonite.[...] Tokarski.

We dominated the game. If Price is in the net that's an easy win.

DT after two period had allowed one goal every 3.25 shots. That's 4 goals in 13 shots.
Maybe one or two he couldn't do much, although I'd argue about rebound control, positioning, and speed (he's weak at all three of those), but others just went through him. That's just terrible.

Possibly the only time I agreed with everything MT said. Whoah.

Sad thing is:
They played great against Nash, lost
They played great against the Jets, lost

you KNOW Therrien's got that BlendTec workin overtime right now

yea i thought it was funny too but it does hurt just to see that

 

[MasterDecoy]

I can't wait til Desharnais is shipped out of town so that some losers here have to find a new excuse for every loss.

its the circle of life

 

[SquiddFX]

What a boring game. I honestly would have had more fun watching paint dry.

 

[The Real Guy Lafleur]

Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
We're going to need Carey
que sera sera.

Without Carey this team is the sh!ts. Can't score goals. We gonna need miracles in the playoffs.

Good thing Jesus Price is the man of miracles then - unless he gets hurt again, then we be ****ed

Last exciting game was the one against the Blackhawks, a year and a half back (the one that went to OT, I think). I'm serious. Ok Maybe there have been 1 or 2 decent games this year. The rest were all snoozefests with a scoreboard resemebling that of most soccer/football games.

We are the 'New' New Jersey Devils

Rely on Price (Brodeur), Markov (Stevens), PK (Niedermayer) and Pacs (revolving door Jersey sniper - Lemieux, Arnott, Langenbrunner...)

And if it brings us some Cups like them doubt too many fans will complain

But yeah, dammit I have to cheat and watch other teams sometimes for more exciting hockey

The Devils were a bigger tougher team than most of our roster.

On the back end maybe but they weren't huge upfront, they just played extremely boring hockey and relied on Brodeur

 

[Habitant#1]

The Devils were a much, much better defensive team than the Habs. Much less shots against.

I can't think of a single season going by memory where Brodeur was top 5 or even top 10 in SV%, the team made Brodeur as much as Brodeur made the team.

Brodeur was much more protected than Price will ever be. Many of the devils wins came with18-20 shots against. No comparison.

True on the shots against but same low scoring systems as Jersey played that resulted in boring hockey - our games are exciting for the other team getting chances

I don't know what you look for in a hockey game, because it was excellent watching the Habs last night. The boys worked hard, created chances, and ran into a hot goalie.

 

[Natey]

My son kept mentioning that Habs iced puck a lot .

We always do.

 

[Uber Coca]

Tokarski was bad, plain and simple. I thought Montreal was the better team most of the game but they couldn't catch a break with how poorly Tokarski was playing. A better backup will certainly be one of Bergevin's priorities in the offseason.

It was amusing to see andrew ladd in his role as Turtle last night. Don't act like a tough guy if you're not going to back it up, andy...
