Habsy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm amazed Kirk Muller can take that no forecheck, passive garbage. It goes against everything he did in his career. I suppose an assistant hasn't much to say in the style the team plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 The habs have to start getting shots to the net with traffic in front, Rask can see everyone and there is no one around for a rebound... one shot and out. Shame Pleks couldn't bury that breakaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch_Habs_Fan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 at least they show up in the 2nd. Found an Sopcast stream, unlucky its nesn. Those commentators are the most anoying in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Shame that they have nothing to show for that period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksonJ Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) As much fun as these last three games have been I think it's time for Cammy to make a miracle recovery and come back for the third period. All in favor? Barring that I would put Plex on the Gomez line for a few shifts. Spreading out the talent hasn't done much, so it's time to load up one line.

brobin Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 This reminds me too much of the Florida game.. sit back.. do nothing, then the other team's goalie takes over. I just don't understand why they would not pounce on the Bruins.. hard forechecking game, get to them early.. take them out of it... Unless we get some breaks (PP goal, deflection, something), I see the Bruins just holding them off for another 20. Does anyone know why the kid line is barely playing?

brobin Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Sigh.. another deflection.. Boston is getting the luck today, but they have outplayed the habs so can't complain. The fact is, the team spotted the Bruins the first period. 4 good games in a row is elusive for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hab29RETIRED Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 well i did say yesterday that they won 3 in a row, so it was time for another loss. I really didn't think they would come out as flat as they did though. I'd love to hear what Martin has to say in his post game conference. If he says the same crap like he did in the 2nd game in Florida on how he thought they played well, i'm going to puke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I had such high hopes for Maxime Lapierre. An instigator, pain in the arse type. So what if he doesn't fight much, I don't recall Ken Linseman dropping them to often. It's just not working out though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of our more consistent and better players last year. This year, he's been pretty invisible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Critical game against a team that has 3 games in hand on us, and they don't show up. This team seems to get up for tough opponent, but seems satisfied with a few good games and then the effort level drops. Mediocre team. I wouldn't mind if they lost with all the players they were missing, if they played hard. They simply didn't. Is it the team, the coach, or both. I am sure JM was not impressed with that wide open play yesterday.. he fixed that problem sure enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible choice as a coach to begin with, may as well cut the cord and pay him for his 3 or 4 years he has left. This team has the horses to play a run and gun agressive skating style not the JM sit back and wait 10 year old NHL style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody in the office of the team should tear him a new one. Kick some garbage pails, I don't know. What a waste of a sunday afternoon.

redondo Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 If we'd won this one, it was really an opportunity to drive a stake thru their hearts. I know there are still plenty of games to play, but personally I don't think the Bruins would've recovered from this to challenge for the playoffs again. Instead, we breathe new life into them and make it harder for ourselves, again. You can talk about the 33 year old rookie on one of the top lines, a bunch of kids on the 4th, Cammi out, and the fact that we stole a game from the B's last week we had no business being in. But the fact is you gotta take these chances when they present themselves, this team just does not have that killer instict, honestly the last time they remotely showed it was when Michel Therrien was the coach, and even then only in spurts.

hab29RETIRED Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 You know with the kid line not clicking like yesterday. I really can't understand why Martin wouldn't try trotter of Desharniais with G&G and SK74 and Pleks. Moen looks completely lost on the G&G line. While Darche has been effective in creating chances and worked hard with Pleks and Sk74, these guys need someone who can finish, as I think if Cammy or Pouliot were playing with them, either one would have potted a couple of goals. Lastly, even though Metro has had success this year on the PP, let face it, while he scored against Boston a couple of nights ago, most of his goals came during a hot spell early in the year. If Metro is the answer on our #2 unit, we are really grasping. Why Martin doesn't have SK74 on the PP is beyond me. IF he sets up a couple or pots a few goals, its going get his confidence going and with Cammy and AK46 out and now Pouliot, we could really use SK going like he was when he first came up in his first year. SK really was playing well for a few games, but Martin never seems to reward him with PP time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. yeah they got 36 shots - after spotting the bruins a 2-0 lead. They also really didn't create a heck of a lot of traffic around Rask or drive heard to the net to get at rebounds.

You do realize you two are diametrically opposed, right? Can you blame me for being a cynic with the jekyl & hyde team we have? ALthough yesterday, I was actually feeling quite optimistic that the habs can pull out 3 out of 4 wins before the break. Now the best we can hope for is 2-3. I saw the Washington-Pittsburgh game today and really can't see us beating the caps the way they are playing right now. IF the play like they did against Philly, you can kiss those two games goodbye as well though - sorry the negative vibes I get from this team are just too hard to shake BTW, unfortunately i'm no where near retirement - that is strictly in tribute to Dryden's whose number should have been retired 3 decades ago.

johnnyhasbeen Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I expected a simular result. The team came off big wins, and yesterday proved alot. Today, without rest, they faced a team who had been playing decent hockey but has been not getting a bounce in weeks. ( a feeling we all know too well from the last few seasons) Boston was due, and were pumped. We were not into it and lost. happens. Simular thing happened to Ottawa last night. I am still not worried. We are going to be at the dance this year, or be oh so close.I'd rather compete for that and hope to get hot in the playoffs than tank. Actually I think we lost because we called these guys up too soon and are rushing their development. LOL. Remember, according to mosts preseason analysis, this team is over achieving!
