dlbalr Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The lack of urgency on the PP is frustrating. Subban's drop pass to no one in particular was ugly, there's no support from the forwards when the puck is dumped back into Montreal's zone (Price stops it for one of the d-men while everyone else hangs out in the neutral zone), and the passing isn't crisp either. You don't have to go all out by any stretch but they need to start viewing PP's as a chance to score a goal, not an opportunity to coast for a shift and conserve some energy.

brobin Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Second half of that period was awful. PP is so bad, it kills their momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An odd note about Desharnais - he has been fantastic at the faceoff dot on the PP - 67.6%. That alone is going to have him out there to start the PP if he can keep that up.

Trizzak Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I don't want to alarm anyone, but there were 3 good chances during that 2:10 of 4on4/5on4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Lots of whizzbang for a team that can't score. Too many buddy passes, extra stick handling and behind the back passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Markov has been turning the Puck over a lot lately He and Subban seem to be having a competition for who can make the most egregious turnover in a game. It might be time to consider splitting them up again, perhaps that may help them be a little less nonchalant with the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs30/31 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 best line thru two - Eller prust sekac best pair on d thru two - gilbert beauilue price he is the leader, he is the unofficial captain, he is by a country mile the best player on the team every single night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's an uncharacteristic three line game from the Habs tonight. Weise barely has 5 minutes while Bowman's well under 4 minutes. (Malhotra, due to PK time and certain faceoff situations, is at his usual pace.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Larry & the Kladno Kid doing well and Prusty is doing fine on 3rd line. Subban and Markov got caught on long shifts and seemed to way too casual with puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs30/31 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 well said by commentary between periods "lars ellar the only montreal centerman never to have a set line to play on. already this year has had six different combinations of wingers. his entire career with montreal he has been constanlty shuffled around" this years centerman pleks - 5 Eller - 4 dd - 1 manny - 0 and Eller was playing with bourque.

Toronthab Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I think Subban is just messing with their heads. He appears to make a wonderfully inelegant drop pass to an opposing forward....knowing... and here's the diabolical cleverness of it all..... that Carey On will save the day against the poor salivating forward who will thereafter and for the rest of his career fear CP. It's a sublime pschological game he's playing. At our level of insight, we just don't understand it. Hmm..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett's Magnatones Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 This game sucks. If I had a few beers, I could easily fall asleep during this one. Stacking the deck with Subban and Markov works about as well as Crosby and Malkin on a line in the playoffs. The Habs are getting roughed up big time. Fear not. Gonchar is en route to the Bell Centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
