DON Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Not expecting a win today, but hope the young guys can play well and bury a puck or two. Just six more shows after this one: Wings & Penguins this month and Devils, Jets, Wings and to cap off season, Sat. April 7 vs Leafs.

DON Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) pre-game facts by Reusch http://intentionaloffside.com/?p=46397 Price 6-12-4 vs Caps. Habs have lost 20 of their last 27games. Habs have given up the most PP goals against. Since 09-10 Caps are 19-6-4 vs Habs (good chance will be 20-6-4 in a few hours) Edited March 24, 2018 by DON 2nd thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We traded a 2nd round pick to pick 22nd and grab Tinordi and Kuznetsov went 26th to Caps. I have to say I hated the move to make Tinordi pick at the time, defensive d-man shouldn't be taken in 1st round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 price looks like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Price has looked like absolute shit all season. It's getting old, and I don't care what his excuses are. He has been human garbage since game one. If that's what he's gonna play like, we might as well save 10 mil and play some run of the mill Niemi type. Some entertaining displays of individual skill early in this period, though. Scherbak's moves were sick and Galy was razor-sharp. Even Price's two big glove saves were exciting, although I confess they also made me uneasy. When Carey Price is on, he doesn't need to make showy saves; he barely seems to move. I've decided I don't like the coach's challenge. Not because it hurt us this time, but because it's just one more thing slowing down the game. Goals used to give teams a boost and create crazy momentum. Nowadays, between challenges, video reviews, and even TV time outs, momentum just dissolves. I'd rather have reffing mistakes and an exciting sport than lawyerly precision and delays. Funny moment from early in the period: a Hab came in on a break and the crowd got excited. Then everyone realized it was Logan Shaw, and you could hear the excitement evaporate Bob Cole's voice sounds odd tonight - even odder than his usually half-stoned seeming self. I wonder if he's getting over a cold or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and if he doesn't, any offseason moves become irrelevant. I don't know what explains his lost season. He has not looked this terrible since 2010. His numbers look like Peter Budaj's FFS.

It's a terrifying prospect if he doesn't regain superstar form; it'd be the biggest albatross contract in the league, and he'd be absolutely untradeable.

dlbalr Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The Habs were actually looking good for a bit there but the offside call really deflated them (and Price struggling doesn't help either). Jerabek doesn't seem to be getting much ice time with Washington...just like his time with Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no choice but to hope he recovers his game. I don't even expect him to be 2014 Price. But he has to be Henrik Lundqvist at least - a reliable, elite starter. One thing I'll say is that I don't think Mr. Price would stick around as a middling-to-mediocre goalie. I think he expects elite performance from himself and would retire before becoming a medicority a la Jose Theodore. I could be totally wrong, but that's just my sense of what kind of guy he is.

Metallica Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 You know for a organization that has needed a 1#center for the past 20 years, we sure seem to pass them up a lot in the 1st rounds of draft's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
