I had thought that Picard was going to play for Wiz, who might have been sick. Ithought Spacek was horrible in the third - but then he had a lot of company, as I really thought the only habs that were more good then bad in the third were Pleks and Ak46.

Pacioretty never gave up, he was a beast all night. Whenever the puck came near him he was pushing the play into the Flames end. He got Gionta going as well by the very end of the period.

Yep i would agree that maxpax also played a great game, I thought he was snakebit a bit on his chances - but it wasn't from a lack of effort. Eller also like very good.

MaxPac - if he plays like that every night, then we really do have the power forward we've been needing for all these years. A very good sign.

I've heard some rumblings that Gomez was pissed at Subban last night for his celebration. If it's true, what is everyones thoughts on it?

:rolleyes: Yeah, we wouldn't want anybody to show any emotion on the ice. For God's sake - what is wrong with the NHL?

People wanting to start you know what to serve their own vendetta. Frankly, the person at La Presse who thought it was column worthy should be ashamed (and suffice it to say, you will not see it in the links section on the main page). Gomez's face was on screen for about 3/4 of a second. If he, or anyone else who thinks they can legitimately distinguish his emotion, demeanor, and what was said in that 3/4 of a second span, they're frankly in the wrong profession. It's a joke, and the fact this is being discussed (not just here, I'm glad it took that long to be mentioned here honestly) is embarrassing to Hab fans in general.

Haha damn Brian you're gutting me here.

I don't believe it...but just saying it was out there.

Not trying to gut you at all, you're just the one who brought up the topic. :) What I posted was a toned down version of my original opinion too, I originally went off on more of a tangent.

Why is that most crap pike this is from the French media?? I'm not a big fan of the gazette, but with the exception of that idiot jack Todd, you don't to have this kind of crap in the gazette.

What they are talking about is there at around 35-36 seconds.

.

And added to this at 5 seconds http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=0&id=93109 some would say it's enought to "know" that Gomez "is pissed" that Subban "chose to celebrates the win alone and take all the credit instead of celebrating with Gomez who set the play up".

For my part, not convinced that Gomez was pissed, but not convinced that Gomez was not pissed either.

Given the absolute, gutter-gougingly piece-of-crap waste-of-cap-space season he is having, the only person Gomez has a right to be angry at is himself.

Why?

Getting Gomez has propelled this team further in the playoffs than any other team since 93 i believe.

So if you don't like him or his numbers that's fine. However he does have the credibilty to be mad about celebrating if he wants.

The problem is we don't know the context of why he might be pissed off.

It could be an inside joke, it could be a conversation they had before the game about his celebrating, etc.

Yep; he could have had to sneeze for all we know and didn't want to infect anyone given the bug going around the team. That's why it's much ado about nothing and is just trademark trying to start something when there's no controversies going on that we've seen far too often.

Actually, I'm a Gomez fan and have tended to be one of his bigger defenders on this board. But this season, his rushes have been almost mind-numbingly futile and the dismal numbers back that up. He did have a little spurt for a couple of weeks but seems recently to have slipped back a notch (notwithstanding his unexpectedly creative setup of PK's GWG). So I think he needs to look in the mirror, at PK, Cup rings or not. Of course none of this means that I interpret the above clip as proving that he *was* mad at PK. Indeed, the whole thing is ridiculous in my books. But it offered a chance to vent about Gomez ^_^

Here's Gomez's quote from RDS on this issue-that-really-isn't-an-issue:

«Si j'affichais un air un peu bête, c'est parce que j'étais fâché que nous ayions laissé filer une avance de quatre buts, a-t-il expliqué. Il n'y a aucune controverse avec P.K. Il a réussi un superbe but en prolongation et nous nous sommes bien bidonnés par la suite de la façon de célébrer qu'il avait choisie. Il n'y a aucun problème entre nous deux. L'esprit de camaraderie entre tous les gars est excellent. Il n'y a aucune dissension.

Basically, his facial expression after the game was due to the fact they blew a 4-goal lead. It's good to win, but he was upset that it happened that way. Naysayers may call it damage control, but I think that's a little more plausible than suggesting Gomez hates Subban based on a brief video shot after a single game.
