sbhatt Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 PISSED that MT had slumping guys on the ice...they have been useless, don't put them on at crunch time. Pacioretty trying to shoot through a skate and blowing one possession...Gallagher botching the pass back to the point....these guys belong on the bench in clutch situations right now. I'd rather see Byron than Gallagher out there based on performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neech Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Bad luck game overall, but boy did we look lackadaisical on those goals. Once again we have two faceoffs in the O-zone with under 3 minutes on the clock and we don't get a sixth attacker on - we have to wait till the final minute to have possession 6 on 5, and never really wind up threatening Andersen. Someone in the organization can get through to Therrien on this, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott462 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Gotta love it sometimes. How we worked our asses off for every single goal but the Sens? Just throw it on net and get lucky. Pretty funny actually. That third goal could of been prevented that was just some terrible coverage. Oh well what can you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davehab Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I thought for about half a second that MT would let pacioretty take Biron's spot on the first line after his penalty in the third. When he came out of the box with about 3 mins left they were accidentally all out together and had a good scoring chance setup by Patches. But very next shift BIron back out there. So disappointing, I mean is there a better time to put your best three forwards out altogether, 2 mins left and down a goal. SMH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 There is justice tonight impact win over tfc 3-2. I feel a bit better now but the habs have a load of soul searching to do tonight. MB time for you to do your gm stuff and make it a d-man. ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see Byron than Gallagher out there based on performance. In the final couple of minutes, you need to roll more than one line. As much as Pacioretty is struggling, he's still a better late game option than guys like Terry, Desharnais, Carr, and Danault (not to mention Mitchell who was hurt late).

I don't feel much better as we took 2 goals at home... now a 1-0 loss won't be enough. Impact need a tie or a win to reach the Final.

BCHabnut Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 There were some bad bounces that went against montreal tonight, but there were also some big defensive gaffs. Way too many giveaways. Anderson was solid as usual against montreal. He loves playing against the habs I'm sure. Chucky needs to simplify just a bit. He scares me a bit with his stick handling sometimes. Taz is amazing. Absolute beast. Protects the puck like jagr. Sees the ice like crosby and grinds like gallagher. I got a huge man crush on that man! Little exaggerated I know, but holy crap he is good at hockey. This team needs a left defenseman something fierce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I didn't see the game...but for how long are Gally and Patches going to struggle ? This is getting ridiculous. With the emergence of Radu and Galy they're more insulated from checkers than ever before. So what gives? (Pleks, I have less hope for. He's lost a step, as I've been warning since last year, although I'd expect him still to get hot spells now and then as part of his transition into a pure checker).

DON Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Galchenyuk 5th in scoring and Markov/Weber tied for 1st in d scoring. Habs PP is 5th, but PK is now 15th. At least Pacioretty must of had some signs of life with 5 shots and they outshot them 39-23. I assume Price had a poor game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 If Radulov played left wing with his left shot, Montreal could keep him with Chuck and put Gally back there. That line would destroy the league. At this point, with Plek, Patch, and Gally's struggles they should be split up across the lineup. Also: send in the young blood. Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov Danault - McCarron - Gallagher Byron - Plekanec - Shaw Hudon - Mitchell - Terry I know Big Mac hasn't looked great in the AHL but this team could use some experimentation for the 2C. (Also don't see Patches or Plek or both making it to 2017 as a Hab. Montreal loves December trades.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both had some good scoring chances in this game but both looked kind of hesitant. It becomes a vicious circle, hesitant because of a slump, and in a slump because of being hesitant. Gally especially needs one to get the confidence back and you can tell he wants it bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedman just had something out there Bergevin is in the hunt for 1 or 2 power forwards(who isn't, I know).

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I don't believe Pleks will get traded. He eats tough minutes against the best opposition C. He's also a grizzled veteran, the type of guy contending teams tend to want to add at the deadline. I don't believe Patches will get traded either. His contract is insanely cap-friendly and if we trade him away, we need to get another elite FW back to replace him. Where's the sense in that? Then again, I couldn't see PK Subban getting traded either, so anything's possible, I suppose. But both Pleks and Patches are Good Boys who play by the rules - they don't do horrible things like set up $10 million charities without getting the organization's permission, or do big celebrations when they score, or low-five the goalie after wins - so my guess is they stick around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
