brobin Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Gally has really tapered off. Seems slow and guys know to just physically take him off the puck. Bourque is useless beyond belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brobin Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Chicago fame should be embarrassing if thus is the effort we get. Zero pushback. No push to get back in the game. Bag skate time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The effort tonight was so poor Therrien didn't even bother pulling the goalie. I smell some callouts from the press conference. We got a nice preview of life without Subban during his benching. Curious decision by Therrien. When's the last time Rene Bourque missed a shift?

Chris Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Nice effort, 5 shots in the 3rd when down by 2? Man these guys are lazy and soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brobin Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 How does PK get benched... everyone is playing half asleep and we keep our only dynamo off the ice. A) he wasn't playing that well. B) he took a stupid selfish penalty. If he is going yo be a leader on this team and get $8 M plus, he has to stop that crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is going yo be a leader on this team and get $8 M plus, he has to stop that crap. Or what though? We trade him for Denis Savard? I'm not against coaches disciplining players, but the finishing school is over. There are plenty of hot heads in the league who are great players and take stupid penalties. (Crosby, Chara, Lucic, Subban, E Kane, Neal). Half of the team looks listless on any gameday, Therrien has bigger problems than Subban.

PK's crap is superior to the rest of the team's crap, hell it's better than most of them on a good night. B) yes it was a bad penalty, but I don't see how that's the only the play in a night of utter shite that gets singled out for a benching. Add to that he's one of the few guys, maybe the only guy on a night like this, who gives us a chance to come back. He'll be making 8 million plus next year, and with that caliber of player you ride him hot or cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We got a nice preview of life without Subban during his benching. Curious decision by Therrien. When's the last time Rene Bourque missed a shift? Bourque played under 3 minutes in the 2nd so I'm going to say he missed a shift somewhere in there. It's worth singling out Plekanec as he had a very good game. He had the lone goal, did terrific work shorthanded, was strong on the draw, saved a goal late, and was one of the few to generate any chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't even benched the entire period. He was outplayed by Boo Boo. That is all on PK, not Therrien. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Its the same story for Montreal. They crumble as soon as a team starts playing physical against them. My buddies were honestly laughing at how small Montreal looks out there. Gorges and Plek had a decent game. Other than that this team looked brutal. Gallagher has done nothing the past month and a half. Once teams start pushing around the small bodied Canadiens and take away point shots, Montreal falls apart. Probably one of the most boring professional hockey games I've ever seen in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you a) bench that player for 10 minutes, or b) use that emotion to get more out of that player and your team? If you are Therrien (and apparently brobin), you bench him for 10 minutes of the 3rd period, basically killing any chance your team has at a comeback. The only thing worse than PK's stupid, selfish penalty was Therrien's stupid, selfish way of handling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davehab Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Its time for some serious moves....after PK our D is pathetic and our Offence is too streaky and small. IF we make the playoffs we are in for a short series, it really doesn't matter who we play we will lose. I just took a look at the standings: Pittsburgh Boston Tampa Montreal Philly Detroit Toronto NY Rangers Washington Carolina Columbus Jersey florida Buffalo the only teams I feel we can beat in a playoff series are Buffalo, Jersey, and maybe the Rangers. Watching our games lately, its a miracle we are top four. That being said if Price played last night it would have been a much closer game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the most boring professional hockey games I've ever seen in my life. If you get out to a game, you have to see them in warmups. They might be the smallest team in professional sports. I don't mean that averages nonsense that the smurfaholics quote, but to a man, they are tiny. Murray and Pacioretty are their only big players. Whoever built this team needs a lobotomy, and if the advanced stats geeks are right, we're headed for a very heavy regression. And another thing! The Habs are off again today. Why are they constantly taking days off? Doesn't Therrien think they need to practice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
