Have to agree with this analysis. I think they hold onto a playoff spot due to the three point games, but this team is upset fodder for the Sens or the Laffs. I would bet the farm on it. The Habs are a team that just fired their coach. They've played like a lottery team for the past month. This doesn't end well, aside from a Pricean miracle.

Don't care what other teams do after the break, 2 of them won. Stop with all the excuses, these guys suck, just like last years bunch. Pacioretty & Radulov 0 shots.

BCHabnut Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The team appeared to be trying to carry the puck a lot more. Something they aren't used to. Timing was way off for all skaters. I would say that the bye had a lot to do with it, but I wonder if CJ didn't encourage them to carry and control the puck more. They seemed confused. Rightfully so. It will probably take 5 games and a few practices to adjust to a new system. Price made some good saves but was swimming a bit. The other side of this is that the Jets were awesome! They played a near perfect game. Defensively, offensively, hitting, face off, PK. Everything but PP, the jets played very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neech Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The good news is that we'd likely get an easier first-round opponent if we shit away the division. Maybe even Claude's revenge in Beantown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Man, this was the first game I've seen in Montreal in 15 years, and they have to lay an egg like that. Weber was pure garbage. Petry was worse. In fact the only d-man who looked good was Markov. DON will hate this, but last night at least they really, really missed Subban's ability to move the puck and lead the rush. If that blueline does not stabilize, we will need to make a major move. Galchenyuk slowly evaporated after the first...not sure what's up there. What I saw was a team relying way too heavily on a washed up Plekanec and a 38-year-old Markov. Hopefully, having a few actual practices with the new coach will start to yield improvement, because that team last night looked nothing like a club with a legitimate chance to contend.

Part of that is they are still Therrien's team. Julien has had one practice. give him a bit to start to implement a system. The other part of why they look so awful is that basically every team in the NHL has looked awful when coming off the bye week. The Blackhawks went into their bye on a 5 game win streak. They looked terrible against Edmonton. This five day break seems to just kill teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been the major issue I've seen with the habs this year. It seemed to me that, at least in this game, we were relying on Plekanec to come back and try to skate the puck up... not sure that is the solution. Hopefully strats change or a player changes.

Scott462 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Every single Hab was bobbling the puck around like a potato. So it's true that guys were coming out of the by week in a funk. Still glad Carey is getting back to form, we really need him to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to let Ottawa have that and play the Leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 4 Habs who stayed in Montreal last week and worked with skills trainer Adam Oates, instead of taking spring vacation. But 3 of them Pacioretty, Radulov and Pateryn had zero shots, not sure who 4th was. But extra training maybe will pay off and good on them to keep on the ice and put in extra time.

But, at least it must of brought back nice memories when Beaulieu did his best impression of that ex-hab and coughed up breakaway goal and fell down at same time.
