JMMR Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Briere is doing well That whole line creates a lot. Not a lot of success on the score sheet but they do look good together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those things that'll eventually start going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 What a stop by Price. Weise's dad is a Habs fan. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Beaulieu's gonna have plays like that. I just hope the coaching staff doesn't try to squeeze the life out of him like they've tried to do with Subban. Lord, Price is AWESOME. EDIT: the Twitter twits on the front page are reporting that Patches will be good to go for Sochi! Wolverine strikes again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Well, closer for Gionta. Good way to go into the Olympic break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yep, we managed to right the ship and can head into the last chunk of the schedule - a very demanding chunk - feeling pretty good. Weird to see Komisarek and Hainsey out there for the Canes. Remember when those were supposed to be two key cogs of a rebuilt Montreal Canadiens powerhouse? Sigh.

DON Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Just for practice! Hope Max not injured badly. Just how well will Price do with, Subban & Keith or any of other Canadian d-pairings, in front of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Price has been scary good all season. Even during the horrible slump when we were getting shellacked, I never saw him as the problem. His play has basically been as good as it is possible for a goaltender to play. And if this is his "new normal" - if he can avoid his tendency to slump - then we have one hell of an asset in our quest to become contenders. Great game by DD! If he can keep that up, he'll silence a lot of doubters. Canucks officially in meltdown mode. Gillis has his work cut out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I would like to apologize to David Desharnais, he is playing like a man on a mission. He looked absolutely great out there. He can actually play with someone not named Patches. I am now becoming a big fan of the wies trade for whoever that bum was. The 4th line looks great. 3 weeks off eh? That will be tough. Btw what happened to Patches? I missed the first 2 periods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Patches has a lower-body injury, but Mackezie and others are tweeting that he will be playing for Sochi. Probably, then, a charley-horse after getting smashed hard into the net. DD needs more than one game to prove he can do it without Patches, but damn, he sure didn't miss a beat without his bum-buddy tonight.

kuternoga Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 When we are losing games it's not Price's fault. It's our defense. Great game Carey, DD, Gally and whole team! Stupid leafs won. And now Go Canada Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Beaulieu's gonna have plays like that. I just hope the coaching staff doesn't try to squeeze the life out of him like they've tried to do with Subban. They've been trying to get that out of him in Hamilton too and haven't had a whole lot of success. It's worth noting that he didn't see the ice after that gaffe.

Neech Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Decent game overall, Price bailed us out several times. Briere finished strong before the break, Subban finished weak. He still has the habit of needlessly skating into trouble in the defensive zone, and then forcing a pass from a difficult position. I think the Olympics should help a lot in re-focussing him (and it's clear that he's a little distracted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Ha ha, Machine, other than the D - which is actually pretty good - that is one garbage lineup. It's weirdly reassuring that we haven't made THAT many egregious mistakes in terms of letting guys go. Guess that's why we've been a pretty good franchise for most of the past 7-8 years.

It's weirdly reassuring that we haven't made THAT many egregious mistakes in terms of letting guys go. Guess that's why we've been a pretty good franchise for most of the past 7-8 years. The crazy thing is that a lot of teams can't do that. They can't say in the last 10-12 years they could pretty much make a full lineup of guys who are mostly still playing in the NHL that they let go. That's the Timmins magic of finding guys in late rounds. Interesting fact: when looking at the current roster, our luckiest pick (not to count the first round with Patches, Price and Galchenyuk) is in the third round. Tomas Plekanec, Alexei Emelin and Ryan White are third rounders while Weber, O'Byrne and Beauchemin are former third round picks by us. Gives hope to guys like Nattinen, Bennett or Bozon.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 A fair criticism...but he found Subban. There's your superstar right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 We needed these two points. Look at the string of games following the Olympic break: Red Wings Penguins Maple Leafs Kings Ducks Coyotes Bruins Senators all in a row, with some west coast travel thrown in. Plus, a lot of our key players will probably be pretty tired at that point (although the same could be said about a few of those teams).

It just goes to show you that just because you have youth, it doesn't automatically equate to success. Plan for the future all you want, but shit happens.
