dlbalr Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 That should calm a few people down. Tonight wasn't as impressive an effort as last night but Price had a strong game to make up for that. Full props to White too - I've probably been the hardest on him lately but he played a very strong game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Like i said in the earlier this morning. The team on the ice tonight is bigger, tougher and plays more North South. That's what you need in the playoffs.Obviously i would trade Pacs for Dumont but i like the line up. Price was excellent. I liked Bouque, White, Prust (even though i thought he had a couple of soft penalties called on him) good effort overall by most everyone. I did notice DD with one nie pass. Diaz needs to get in the gae, man is he soft, he could have cleared at least 5 pucks in the D zone and just turned it over. Impressed with Tinordi as well.

Full props to White too - I've probably been the hardest on him lately but he played a very strong game. This can maybe settle Price down. How does one block out the pressure. And there were indeed a few Whiteouts tonight. .. and no penalty? Can you imagine winning on Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMMR Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Looking back at the Ryder goal, Desharnais deserves some praise there. His aggressive forecheck caused Cowen to play the puck into the corner and course him going in to retrieve it helped set up that marker. Speaking of praise for players with assists, I have to echo the sentiments for Galchenyuk. His patience to wait for the trailing blueliner was perfect and he knew the hit was coming - he took the hit to make the play. Nicely done. That play was incredible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Man this team has heart and keeps surprising me. I was all doom and gloom over losing Eller. Then when i Got home from the office, I heard Gionta and maxpac were mg one and I was sure we were done. Great clutch effort, redemption by Price and gotta love the kids!

Chris Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just one point i should make with all the Price mainia and how bad he is. Goalies who are 1 and 1. Nabakov 7 GA Hiller 7 GA Detroit goalie forgot his name 7 GA Anderson and Price 5 GAA Calm down peopel, goalies let in goals. Shame on the team for folding like a tent after a soft goal.

dlbalr Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Diaz needs to get in the gae, man is he soft, he could have cleared at least 5 pucks in the D zone and just turned it over. Impressed with Tinordi as well. Interesting, I thought he was much, much better tonight. A couple of clearouts were blocked but that's about the only negative I can think of from him. He skated it out a few times and his positioning was a lot better - same goes for Gorges. Those two also blocked almost as many shots as the entire Ottawa team. Did anyone notice the goal song has been changed again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I definitely thougth he was better, he is just soft on the puck in his own end. Loses alot of battles and has a hard time clearing the puck when preasured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way I thought we could muster a decent game, and I figured Price would be just as bad. He saved our butts and the cast of characters was excellent. Bourque was an inspiration...and the Gallys.. YA BABY! Just one point i should make with all the Price mainia and how bad he is. Goalies who are 1 and 1.

It seemed that Gorges. .. who was a hero of mine.. played well tonight and I didn't really notice Diaz much. Probably a good thing. He can sure skate though.

Lovett's Magnatones Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Interesting choice to play Kassian over Conacher. Kassian was a total non-factor, and took a bonehead penalty with six minutes left. I hope they keep pounding Karlsson, he has to be the biggest sissy in the league, and after a few more big hits he might fold up like a pup tent.

Commandant Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 GIven we lack offence, I'd rather go with Leblanc - he at least brings more offensive potential. Prust was dumb with that i hope he doesn't get suspended comment. I don't understand why a player needs to telegraph their attentions like that. Leblanc's offence was non existent this season.... those guys can score more than him, at least this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I got on Carey last night... but tonight... Faith is restored. This is the Carey we've been waiting for. What a game.The two Penalty kill saves with the score 2-1 late in the 2nd were phenomenal.Oh and that #27 kid... remind yourself, he is 19 years old and tonight was his 2nd ever playoff game. SOOOOO GOOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackpetrilli Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 While I don't think we played as well in this game as last, Price played *much* better, especially in the 2nd when we really needed him. If he can maintain this level for 3 of the 5 remaining games, we should win, because outside of the goaltending, I think we're the better team. Price just needs to hold up his end of the stick.

The Sens honestly beat us in forward depth. Especially when healthy. But as the game proved, it isn't such a difference that the Canadiens can't overcome it. The defence has to support Price all the way. They can't be leaving him out to dry then just hoping he stops a 50/50 circumstance. The goal he allowed was also a real BS situation with Prust's stick being taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
