Guest Stogey24 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 9 hours ago, Commandant said: Why narratives are silly. "After the goal they look like a team that wanted out" oh really? So what happened five minutes later when they picked up their game, leading to Benn's tying goal and eventually to winning the game in OT. Did they start slow? Hell yes. No one likes that first five minutes of the game. But the idea that it was the result of players "wanting out". Thats a narrative to explain the poor start, and one that doesn't make sense when the team picked up their play after that. Most times a bad start is just a bad start, and its not about "wanting out" or some other narrative about a team not trying. The Devils were playing well. The Habs were making mistakes in their own zone. That was what happened. Not some narrative about the team wanting to be traded, or something. P.S. Plekanec is clutch. It was like 50 min of shit play by the Habs. Devils didn't get a ton of HIGH quality chances, but they controlled 90% of that game. 1 shot on 3 PP's... Running around in their own end, no sustained pressure. That was a game that should have been a blow out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Watched it on PVR, and I am happy with the result. Not impressed with how they came out of the gate, taking that penalty and getting scored on a 6-on-5 after a bad change. Patches made some nice passes, it seems like he is putting more emphasis on improving that part of his game. Drouin, like Galchenyuk, tries to dangle his way through too many other player. Nice to see Price battling, and Hudon coming through big time. finally, I like the 4th line. I don't know if it would be better with McCarron at center. DeLarose is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The devils had better chances on their PPs in the second, but outside of the PPs they didn't really control it. 5v5 the Habs were better team IMO. The Stats back that up too.

With Mete off the roster, they're down to 22 players for the time being. They can activate Lehkonen without needing to make another roster move. That will only take them to early January but it buys them a bit more time to make a decision on who to cut/waive/trade (or wait for someone else to get hurt).

Commandant Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 7 minutes ago, Stogey24 said: Did you even watch the game? Yes, I watched all of it. And the numbers back me up on the fact that montreal played well overall, and carried the play when it was 5v5. Thats the thing with the numbers, they avoid our personal biases getting in the way. We all want the Habs to do well, so there is often an element of personal bias in our perceptions of how a game is going, and that happens to every fan. The numbers though, they don't lie about which team had more shots and chances... and 5v5 it wasn't particularly close. The overall game was close as New Jersey did much better when the game went to special teams (reflected in the 5v3 chances and the Hischier breakaway).

Guest Stogey24 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I get you watched the game, i was just being a dick Shots on goals means nothing. Look at the top 7 teams in the nhl for shots on goal. Carolina, Florida, Pittsburgh, Edmonton, Columbus, Chicago, Montreal...Only 1 of those team's is in a playoff spot.

illWill Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I don't recall a team just throwing the puck at the net like the 2017-18 Canadiens. It's as if they are playing a carnival game and whoever gets the most shots wins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just shots on goal.... its on down the list.... corsi.... scoring chances, etc..... The Devils had plenty of scoring chances on their pps, and the Habs didn't get much on their PPs. But 5v5 the Habs were a better team. The tough play was the first 5 minutes and the PPs.... but it wasn't 50 minutes like you claimed, and it wasn't a game the Habs got badly outplayed in.

Guest Stogey24 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Funny how the team's I listed with most shots in the nhl, are grouped in the same area in corsi for..

Interesting points about the stats and our biases made throughout the thread. Admittedly, I felt the devils carried the majority of the play, seemed they caused more havoc for cp31 than Habs did for Schneider and seemed to get more extended zone time, made better passes and generally weren’t embarrassing on the pp as well as having a strong pk. But I am a biased Habs fan. Felt Habs worked their way to even play as game progressed but now must consider this in a different light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
