brobin Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Gomez has been on the ice a ton with Crosby as well. The reason Crosby scored is because he was on against MAB, for the first time, and for the first time, was alone in the slot to score. If Gill was there, no goal. They switched to Subban and Crosby was useless again. I am disappointed with Pleks play based on his play, not his points. I see him avoiding the slot again, like he did last year. Now, if he wants to be Staal, ie, a 3rd line shut down guy, then he is doing great. Unfortunately, we are about to sign him to first /second line money based on offense. That scares me a bit as I was hoping to see him performing better in the playoffs. Now if we win tomorrow, he still has plenty of time to get back on track. AK's struggles are well documented, as are Pouliot. I give Pouliot some slack, he is still young and there is time to fix him. AK has no excuse, imo. If he doesn't have a major turn around, I would pack him and his brother off in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 AK's struggles are well documented, as are Pouliot. I give Pouliot some slack, he is still young and there is time to fix him.

Agreed, but last game was an example of what's so frustrating about AK - he was a force out there, including that terrific hit on Staal. Note, too, that Martin seems to believe in AK. I would not be a bit surprised if the Habs retain AK while shipping out the baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't have a major turn around, I would pack him and his brother off in the summer. He has 10 pts in 13 games, while playing a mostly defensive system due to the teams we've played (Offensive juggernauts), I think without him, our PK was not as stellar vs. the caps first round. He's not getting first line PP duties like he was during the regular season, so there goes pts from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakiqc Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I mean, if Chris Lee is refereeing tonight, it probably means he won't ref the Habs game tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Pinch me people. Ah nevermind, no need for it. There's that nervous heart rhythm reminding me that the Habs are still alive. Yeah! :hlogo: Thank Hockey Gods I'm a heavy sleeper GO HABS GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l<OV4L3V Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I hope this game is called fairly and the Canadiens have 60 minutes of winning left in the tank for this series! GO :hlogo: GO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I know I would really appreciate a 6th first goal of the game in these playoffs by our # 13 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I know I would really appreciate a 6th first goal of the game in these playoffs by our # 13 ... Pro golfers always assume the other player will make the twenty foot birdie put so they don't get too disappointed. I can hardly believe that I get to cheer for les glorieux ce soir in game seven. Holy Mary mother of God, pray for our players now and at the hour of their death, amen. Go Habs Go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhabs Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) The key to tonite is that hopefully nobody slept with the refs wives. Also, the first 10 mins pitt will come out hard and if we can pot the first we should be good. Edited May 12, 2010 by jrhabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The key to this team as always is how many goals they will score. If they score 3-4 goals they have an excellent chance. If thye score 2 or less the Penguins will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can weather the storm and actually score a goal in the 1st period, we should have a good chance of winning this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
