brobin Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 And we lose.... That looked like last years team. Solid 20 minutes, then go to sleep and let the other team storm back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The problems are the same too. Can't get inside and can't keep the opposition to the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well, first in the east didnt last long. Instead of proving they belong there, they blow a winnable game while NJ, Toronto, and Boston all won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOPAVILLIN Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 A game like this is acceptable considering they just won 5 straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habinator33 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 A game like this is acceptable considering they just won 5 straight. Anytime you blow a 2 goal lead by sitting back for the second half of the game it's not acceptable. We weren't playing a playoff team we were playing a consistant bottom 5 team that looked like they wanted no part of us in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think they were lucky to get 1 point. I'm not sure if they were sitting back or just qorn out. I believe it's 4 games in 6 nights. Either that DD penalty changed the game. up by 2, stableized the game then quickily a 1 goal game. As BCabnut put it, they were really soft defensively, didn't win any battles and refused to drive the net. Points in 6 straight, can't complain alot. If i were MT, i would let them have it after the game and get on them again tomorrow. Pretty soft 3rd periods the past few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 this team needs some asskicking that's all I can say. They thought they could mail it in WRONG. This team needs to wake up and get with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Diaz was awful on Moulson's 2nd goal. He totally let him alone in the slot, busy watching.... no one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I normally would not complain with a point streak like this, but to be fair I have been complaining the whole time. Haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Patches hits the wide open net instead of the goalie who was out of position MTL has a 2 goal lead. They can't win them all. MT has to get them to a place where they can play his high energy game even when fatigued. 3 games in 4nights ok, but their upcoming schedule is going to be a really challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I believe the boys are showing signs of fatigue. All those consecutive icings in the third period would point to a team just holding on. I read that 11 of our next 15 games were on the road. Therrian will have to get the rest of the roster going or we will continue to die in the third. We have had a great start, but we should have a pretty telling indication where we stand by the end of the road stretch.It looks to me that we could use a Hal Gill right about now.

hab29RETIRED Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 What we could use is more ice time for Subban and have Subban paired with Gorges. He is our youngest dman and should be playing 25 min a game. I believe the boys are showing signs of fatigue. All those consecutive icings in the third period would point to a team just holding on.

BlueKross Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Obviously, younger guys have more stamina. In the short term, playing Subban more makes sense. However, eventually no matter whos' out they will wear down. They need to use all the roster. The fatigue is just a symptom that is already creeping into the line-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 That was a tough loss considering how well they played early on. However, it's 1 game, all isn't lost (I'm happy to see no one is panicking on here). To combat the defence fatigue, I think it's time to rotate Kaberle back in for a game or two. Gallagher hopes to be back as well for tomorrow, I'm curious to find out who would yield their spot to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well, what I was afraid would happen, happened! At least they got a point out of it, but to lose two 2 goal leads is unacceptable. This team needs to learn how to win. When you've got an opponent on the ropes, you gotta learn to throw the knockout punch. This is the third time this year that thye blow a 2 goal lead (Buffalo, Tampa and last night). I'm sure Therrien will let them know that this is unacceptable. I'm expecting a much better performance saturday night against the Rangers...especially considering that I,ll be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Some thoughts on the game: -Where is Markov? The powerplay is dead. -Too much Diaz. "Kostka treatment." A solid d-man, but only Subban or Gorges should play those minutes. -Subban and Gorges? Why isn' this the second pairing? I know every coach wants to put his brand on a team, but the bottom pairing should be Bouillon and Diaz. -PK needs to be on the first PP and the first PK -The Islander's announcers are some of the worst i've ever heard. This is understandable, but the Devils and the Isles get the leftovers from the Ranger's prospects. Some gaffes- "Alex Lemelin" "Corey Price" "Gal-yen-chuk." -They can't win them all, i'm happy to get the point, all these loser points add up. This is a good team, once we can get a solid winger to replace Gio or Cole, and Tinordi and Galchenyuk mature, we should be in contention.

Chris Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Honestly if MT wanted to make a statement, he should sit Cole or Gionta when Gallegher is ready. Teaching 4th liners a message is not sending the team the message. Both Gionta and Cole have been pretty much worthless. That move would give the team a shake up. Thye need to do something with the PP. i noticed the first 6-8 games the PP was doing well because they moved the puck, moved there feet and shot the puck all the time. Now they are standing around waiting for the perfecrt play. Just like last year. The need to have a few players planted in front of the net as well.

Keep punishing Ryan White? He's a 4th line center. Sit Cole. He's been very useless. So useless in fact, that we haven't noticed how bad Gionta has been. Bad contract, held over from the Gainey years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what kind of message sitting him does when you're on a 7 game point streak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
