sbhatt Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I am about ready to concede that all the Sens fans around here that have said the Habs are nothing but a 'bubble team' without Price...were 100% right. Maybe they were being generous with 'bubble', actually.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It's too bad Tinordi gets brought in when this entire team has been complete shit. -3, but really didn't play bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Put Subban out there for ten minutes, shorten the bench to nine players. They have a break coming up. They may have a break coming up but they have a game tomorrow too. They needed to do a better job of rolling four lines once it got to 4-0. Tokarski is practically sitting in the parking lot. Yanked in two straight starts - that may have Bergevin looking a bit more towards a stopgap goalie option. Bright side: One goal is enough when Carey Price faces 17 shots Depending on the quality of the shots, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Despite Tokarski's struggles, I was surprised they pulled him at 3-0. They're worried about Condon playing too much (he now has played at least part of 20 of the last 24 games) so if you're giving him the night off, give him the night off, especially with the game tomorrow.

illWill Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The lineup for the game tonight: Max Pacioretty - David Desharnais - Dale Weise Tomas Fleischmann - Tomas Plekanec - Paul ByronLars Eller - Alex Galchenyuk - Daniel CarrBrian Flynn - Torrey Mitchell - Michael McCarron Nathan Beaulieu - P.K. SubbanAndrei Markov - Alexei EmelinJarred Tinordi - Tom GilbertDustin TokarskiMike Condon The lineup on opening night: Max Pacioretty - Tomas Plekanec - Brendan Gallagher Lars Eller - Alex Galchenyuk - Alexander SeminTomas Fleischmann - David Desharnais - Dale WeiseBrian Flynn - Torrey Mitchell - Devante Smith-PellyAndrei Markov - P.K. SubbanAlexei Emelin - Jeff PetryNathan Beaulieu - Tom GilbertCarey PriceMike Condon Look how much better the lineup looked on opening night compared to now. Up front we have Byron, Carr and McCarron instead of Gallagher, Smith-Pelly, Semin. Throw in a Kassian rehab stint on top of that just for fun. Four proven NHLer's have been replaced by a waiver pickup and two rookies. That is going to hurt any hockey team no matter how good they are. 25% of the team is different than the group that was on fire to start the season. And I don't think we have to discuss how important MVPrice is to this team. He literally is the most valuable player to his hockey team. This is likely just the low point of the season and things will turn around at any time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It makes no sense... it really doesn't.... 34-18 in shots.... more than 2:1 in scoring chances and lose another blowout. Its ing ridiculous. Despite Tokarski's struggles, I was surprised they pulled him at 3-0. They're worried about Condon playing too much (he now has played at least part of 20 of the last 24 games) so if you're giving him the night off, give him the night off, especially with the game tomorrow. Agreed, that made no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurdBurglar Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So I've watched about 10 minutes of hockey in the last 2 weeks because of this. Worse part is all the "without Price" comments are completely false. Condon has player nearly as good as Price on many occasions, but can't win a game when your team doesn't score or as in tonight's case, when your down by 4 already. Defense and goaltending isn't the problem with the team now. It's the same problem as the Habs have been having for a very long time, offense. The lack of pure goal scorers is glaring right now. We can point the finger all we want at Pacioretty, but the fact is he has a supporting cast of nothing. 11 other forwards, no goal scorers. Our 2nd best goal scorer on the ice is Galchenyuk, a playmaker. I was hopeful of Semin, but he didn't work out. No money to sign a goalscorer, so we got what we paid for with Semin. Kinda hard to have cap space for a goal scorer with we have $24m of $70m cap (34%) wrapped up in 4 guys who can't be relied on to score goals, Subban, Markov, Emelin, and Petry. Somebody need to get creative somewhere. We need cap relief and another goalscorer. Sadly at this point, to get that we are probably looking at Plekanec or Petry being the only players we have with enough value and return to improve our scoring situation that will relieve the cap space enough to afford the replacement. Tis dark times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
