The only reason the Caps should have won, is because they enjoyed so many PP's. Habs earned the win, Caps deserved to lose. Yes, any Habs fan sour about that effort simply doesn't understand what a gut-check road trip game looks like. That was a tremendous effort by a depleted roster, on the road, in the second night of a back to back. Hell of a win and fully deserved. And Neech makes a legit point about coaching.

The team played together from top to bottom. Perhaps the first time in the history of this forum that "Therrien" and "better coaches in the league" have been said in the same sentence. Maybe he will start to finally get some credit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Caps had 21 shots on net, Montreal worked to shut them down yesterday.... fully deserved win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero shots till 13minutes into the 3rd, I guess they need more better centres perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petry is only 1g from his career high of 7 and has 4pts in last 5gms. Radulov kept to 17:49, which is much better than 20 or 20+ and seemed to of played better.

Habsfan Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Boy am I glad to see the Habs bounce back against a good Capitals team. They really needed those two points. I was also relieved to see Carey back in nets. Nice overall effort from everybody last night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the Habs lost to a team with their number one centre gone, their goalie playing back to back after being run out of his net, several players hurt, at least one bottom six calibre player on every line, several powerplays... and couldn't get it done. We'd be furious at the performance. Caps should be embarrassed they lost to a team with Philip Danault on the top line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be furious at the performance. Caps should be embarrassed they lost to a team with Philip Danault on the top line. Yes with Radulov, one of the most talented hockey players on the planet, and Pacioretty, one of the NHL's top scorer in the last few years, the Canadiens have one embarrassing first line... It's actually not uncommon for teams to mix two offensive players with someone not usually known as a Top 6 forward n 5-on-5 situations. For example the Hawks have Anisimov, who struggles to get 40 points in the NHL, centering Patrick Kane, and no one is laughing at them. Danault is a player with strong hockey IQ and pretty good overall skills, he keeps his game simple, and if he has chemistry with the other two it can be a very good line. We're not talking about a Steve Begin type player here, Danault is doing quite well in his first full NHL season, he was excellent in the bottom 6 role, and has shown so far that he can hold his own skating between some of the teams' top forwards (actually more than Plekanec or Desharnais) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 For sure, Caps fans should be frustrated. But they should also tip their caps to the opponent, who played one hell of a road game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think you guys are trying to over analyze what Machine was trying to say. Personally, I find myself to be one of the more overly optimistic posters on here but I still had a bad feeling about this game, in particular due to our depleted lineup. The Caps are supposed to be a team who feast on injured teams and failed to do so. The caps should be "embarassed" and our team should pat themselves on the back for a nice road game. Artem Anisimov is also on pace for 70 points prior to being injured and I'm not sure Danault would ever do the same even when playing with Patrick Kane and Artemi Panarin. I agree that the game was an exciting one. You can really hear everyone skating against a team like that. Ever since the playoff series where Halak was literally a brick wall/stop sign in net, I've found them (Washington) to be one of the teams that make me the most nervous to watch the Habs play against.
