TurdBurglar Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Did you note notice that 2 of our goals were scored that way..simply directing the puck towards the net and then fighting for rebounds is how a good percentage of goals are scored. I did notice we had 2 goals scored on low percentage shots. Which was great for a little bit, but we still lost. My point all along is when low percentage shots is a significant part of our total shot count, we have problems. Granted any shot on net can go in, high scoring team look for higher percentage shots. I don't like how we're depending on low percentage shots to make or break our offense. It's like playing Russian roulette with 5 bullets in a 6 shooter and expecting to live. @Commandant: While thing did get out of hand and I do apologize for it, I would also like to point out the only name callings your referring to was by you. Also you have to understand your comments come across as irritating when you demand more comparisons but fail to do any research to prove your point. This isn't in any way, shape or form a jab, at you, just informing you how, from my perspective, this got out of hand. Hope you can accept my apology.

Colin Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 So, with the acquisition of Kaberle, one would have to assume JM got an extension to his leash. Of course, Stubbs has indicated K was brought in to help the PP (from Martin's mouth), so we'd better see some serious improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kaberle was brought in to provide that much needed physical element we have been lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I actually think Kaberle turns the heat up on Martin. The main reson for our bad record has been the PP. Kaberle is here to fix the PP. The GM has now given his best answer to the obvious hole in our lineup, i.e., the lack of a PP quarter-back, which is what Martin has been tacitly complaining about whenever he has explained losses in terms of rookies on the back end. Martin now HAS to make it work. If it doesn't, he is out the door, because I'm pretty sure gauthier is not going to sit around waiting to be fired before he fires his coach.

brobin Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I was playing and watching this game while the only turds you were burgling were from your own diaper. LOL, I don't want to start up the argument, but I found that line pretty funny coming from a young kid like you. Happy birthday, by the way. We share the same birthday as it turns out, but not the year. I was banging chicks while you were only the commandant of your playpen. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Agree that this puts pressure on Jacques. I really thought he was going to get canned last night, and I have not thought that once this season. Last night was a disaster if the Habs PP fails to score next two games I say he really is gonzo.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I think you have to give Martin more than a couple games here, because Kaberle and Campoli are going to need time to get comfortable. If there is no improvement after 10 games, that's when I'd start looking over my shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaboom Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 UNfortunitely, I don'T think JM is going anywhere this year. I agree with you and it is very unfortunate for the team. With a new coach ( Criag Mactavish ) we could have a new lease on life with players coming back and and proven winner as a player that is this team could really make some noise.

BlueKross Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Colin: I went to your site just to have look see. We could get into debate about what is considered big as far as hockey players. i would say this, to apples to oranges. The average size of players has progressively got bigger. Yes, in my opinion, Montreal carries too many small guys munching top minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in my opinion, Montreal carries too many small guys munching top minutes. A) Thanks! Hope you liked what you saw. B) That size thing is such a fine line and depends so much on the player and how they play. Perhaps that's a better point that just looking at the actual sizes. On the other hand, the Habs haven't played big this season, and that much I can grant you for sure. Gio and Cammi haven't been digging as much as they did last season.

Kaboom Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Please get rid of this clown!!!!! Emelin is sitting tonight and diaz is still in and has a two way.

JMMR Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Can we at least wait for the game to be played? Of course we can but you do have to understand peoples frustration. Emelin has been playing VERY well I think you would agree. Emelin is the best hitter on the team and does change the way opposing teams attack the zone, you would think JM would try to find a way to keep him in rather than sit him out. Hell I would rather play Emelin forward than Weber let him crush some guys fore-checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think the plan with Emelin is to give him plenty of time to work with Randy Ladoucer and then bring him back into the lineup once he's adjusted to the Right Side. We already know he was spending extra time on the ice after practice today doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryhabsfan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 truth hurts : andrei kostitsyn called JM out on it last summer. Da Room Gots Da Cancer. And of course AK is playing inspired hockey like it's his UFA year or something . Kostitsyn is going to get paid and not by us. At first I thought the problem was with Belarus producing whiny man-children, but the problem is from the top down. If I'm an 18 year old from Belarus I'm going Lindros-mode on the canadiens after the way they handled the freres and grabs, like "pleaaaase do not draft me I would like to have an actual NHL career" Answer : Fire JM, get vladislav friggin tretiak (see: anybody else) behind our bench.
