Lovett's Magnatones Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Players crashing into Price and none of the players stand up for him. I miss that line of Parros - Prust - Moen from first game. Nystrom needs a visit from Prust. That had to happen on the play. Retribution is hard to come by for bottom six plugs.

dlbalr Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Losing Briere doesn't exactly help our cap situation... They can still pull off one more recall without touching LTIR. It requires several other roster moves but I can think of one way that they could get a replacement up and have a full roster without LTIR.

dlbalr Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 The one thing we lack on the team is a true faceoff specialist. Faceoffs are one of those things that are really underrated it seems. The importance on winning faceoffs is huge since you don't need to try and win back puck procession So far, they're hanging on against a tough Nashville team at the dot (50% through 2). Adding a specialist is never a bad idea though, it's one of the reasons I wouldn't have mind if Halpern came back (he's with Phoenix's AHL team now). Also, welcome to the boards.

Colin Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Kinda nice that we have the talent in the lineup that, on any given shift, can wake up and take over a game. This is going to get called off, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The call on the ice should stand. Toronto can't see what happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Nashville has done a good job of taking away the shot from the point on the PP and we aren't adjusting. Galchenyuk is also taking too many shots from bad angles. The call on the ice should stand. Toronto can't see what happened For some reason, the explanation was that the call by the four officials was that it is no goal. Bullshit call, since the ref behind the net - the only one who had any chance of seeing it called it a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 ref #5, getting lots of camera time, said all 4 officials didn't see puck cross goalline, but he pointed to it as a goal, seems odd? But it didn't look like a goal anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 After that long delay, why would Therrien leave his 2nd PP unit on? All the offense flows through Subban. Give him elite minutes, and stop pretending that Bouillon is adequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I think he's going to be ok. Even if he's not 100% he'll play. Between he and Pacioretty the trainer needs a lie detector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'm still angry about that no goal. The ref on the ice clearly signalled goal. The replays were inconclusive We go back to the ref and he says the replay was inconclusive and the call on the ice was no goal. NO IT WASN'T. THE CALL ON THE ICE WAS GOAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If I didn't know better, I'd say the entire team was coming down with the Bourque flu. They all look massively sluggish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 That's why you don't dick around getting it out of the zone. They don't deserve to win this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im happy De La Rose is playing for a better hockeyteam in Sweden than this bunch of lazy coasters. They make Kovalev look like a workhorse.

brobin Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Came out slow... Couldn't handle the Nashville D with our small forwards. Lose the game as a result of the winger failing to clear the zone, again. Price did all he could, but just nothing in front of him. Do you really think we are going far this season with so many under performing smurfs and one line? If they don't get off their butts soon we are going to slump badly. You can't expect one line and a goalie to win it for you most nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Puck Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 What is Therrien thinking???? We had a faceoff in the Preds zone with 72 seconds left but he won't pull Price until we gain control??? Of course, the faceoff was scrummed and the puck fought for along the board for 10 seconds before Nashville got it and cleared the zone. We never got control of the puck in their zone for the rest of the game. Even if we lose the faceoff with 72 seconds left we still are better off with 6 skaters.

dlbalr Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Time to give McCarron his Jr tryout? That can only happen in an emergency situation (less than 12 healthy forwards). One might exist if Briere or Prust can't go next game but even then, his recall would take the Habs into LTIR (which they're likely trying to avoid). Also, McCarron isn't playing all that well at the moment; he has been demoted to the 3rd line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalhabs Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I hated us getting Therrien, changed my mind a bit after the great start last season but seriously? Martin got alot more out of these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
