hab29RETIRED Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Feel so bad for Price!!! I really dont understand why Buffalo was going so hard after the win? When do you pull your goalie 2 minutes to go with one goal down. Its usualyy in the 1:30 - 1:00 mark! Also pulling with 3 minutes to go! Kinda surprised me but it worked for them. considering how the habs were sitting back and the sabres were all over the habs, it was a sound strategy. Difference between having a good coach like Ruff who will take chances and will adjust to the situation and Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Unreal, way to blow a game boys...... Bad luck with a high stick and a simple bump and the sabre falls into the net.... more like just bad luck, not that luck exists or anything...

hab29RETIRED Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 well, in the last 3 games where we could have secured the playoffs, we come out with 2 loser points. I still don't understand why Cammy (off a month and late in the game) and AK were out there in the late stages. Half expected to see MAB out there too... Don't know why you would be surprised. Martin is been making bonehead decisions all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakiqc Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Gotta give credit to Lindy Ruff for pulling Miller down 2-0. It's easy to say now, but I would not have sent Sergei/Moore on THE FIRST UNIT to kill the PK on a crucial 4-6 ! nor Andrei (as much he deserved the hat trick) when it was 2-1.

BCHabnut Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 gotta hang on to that 6th spot. This is gonna get interesting down the stretch. I'm not happy with the streak of 3 losses, but they were in all of them till the end. I'm not giving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference between having a good coach like Ruff who will take chances and will adjust to the situation and Martin. Don't see what Martin could have done. Hell! he was not going to replace Price by another forward! Anyhow, nice move by Ruff, but he had nothing to lose. Also, you have to consider that we got too many penalties at the end of the 3rd. The players were obviously a little tired. Once again, we were a bit unlucky on those penalties. Particularly on the one to O'Byrne. Well, at least we played well and Price too. He could have stopped the first goal on the shoot-out, but let's give credit to Pominville. He faked a move on the left and sent a quick shot between the pads. Nice goal. Let's face it. If we played like that every game we would lose very few in a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin should have called a timeout to settle the team down when tit was apparent the sabres were all over them. Why he would have Ak46 and Cammy out there at the end of the 3rd period was beyond me. why you woudn't have had some defensive players with Pleks is inexcusable. You need to adjust to the situation and the "experienced" Martin seems incapable of adapting to situations in the game - this isn't just tonight, it has been an issue all year. Lastly, Ruff was ALL OVER the officials when they called 4 straight penalties on the habs. While not another penalty was called on the sabres again - despite some very obvious infractions (slash on hammer), the habs got 6 straight penalties. All Martin did was play the mute.

This is his MO. The Sens played the Leafs 4 times in the playoffs with the more talent 3 times, yet the Leafs won EVERY SINGLE TIME. Martin would watch the Leafs implement the same game plan year after year, yet never adjust. He would sit and watch like an observer then give the same uninspired post game remarks every night. I sit an wait patiently for the Guy Boucher era to begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 What can you do, this is why i keep saying until this team gets legitimate 3rd and 4th liners this team will tire at the end. Having MAB as a forward kills the ability to have 4 lines rolling over which is exactly i beileive why they started rolling for a while. You want your checkers otu there the last few minutes, Moen, even Lapierre, Moore, SK all needed to be out there doing those things. The top 2 lines get gassed. Price was excellent. Offense really struggling down the stretch, 4 goals in the last 3 games, not good enough for the playoffs. They need 2 points tonight and Minnesota, Toronto and the Devils to all win. I am very interested to see how they respond tonight, I know what the old habs teams would have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is that if he would have put defensive checkers on the ice, people would be criticizing JM for not putting his offensive guys out to try and get the play to the other end of the ice.

Sir_Boagalott Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 gotta hang on to that 6th spot. Unforunately 6th seed is probably the worst matchup the Habs could have. I guess you didnt hear when the announcers said that Miller has the best stats against the Habs than any goalie in the last 30 years.

Athlétique.Canadien Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Our recipe for .5 took a hit last night. I wish they had gotten both points because of nothing earned versus the Sens. Two points versus Florida will be sweet. It'll right the wavering ship. Atlanta can get a maximum 93 points now. Hopefully the Leafs can sting them tonight. Then their max possible output will be 91. That'll put us in striking distance. Still, a point is not frowned upon IMO. Edited March 25, 2010 by Athlétique.Canadien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are getting a young coach why would you hire a coach who has never had playoff success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
