Guest Stogey24 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Jeff Petry 4th in the league in turn overs. Thats telling you something when a player like Petry has the many turn overs. Just for shits, Weber is 17th and Subban in now 66th. That's for you Don. Quote
THE Bobby Orr Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Montoya very solid...top line needs a change Quote

Several Habs are always at the top of the list in turnovers regardless of whether they actually turn it over a lot or not thanks to Montreal's 'creative' statisticians. (Unfortunately in Petry's case, it's justified that he's up there...) Weber had 39 turnovers last year and 69 already this season. He's handling the puck a bit more often this year but is he realistically on pace to at least double his giveaways? Probably not. On the good side, the PP looks a lot better tonight and the Habs were better in the 2nd. They still need to find another gear if they want to get this one though. 1 Quote

I think he's overrated by Habs fans. Soo inconsistent Quote
THE Bobby Orr Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Ok ...i.m gonna get hate for this but --- Danault is our #1 C...the chemistry is there with PAx and Rad... 2 Quote

Hate, shmate...#27 has been el stinko in his #1C audition lately. He can stay on line 2...can't be experimenting this late in the season when points are so crucial. Quote
Trizzak Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 13 goals for Lehkonen as a rookie (and for his first season on North American ice) is pretty cool. 1 Quote
sbhatt Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 That game was a total piss-off...a lot of sloppy hockey...no excuse for that this time of year. Just when you think this team has gotten it's shit together...frustrating. Quote
TheDriveFor25 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 A point is a point.. but that game was a stinker Quote
Scott462 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Darn we were pretty bad in OT there. I thought a lot of calls were missed but what can you do. Chucky looked just silly on that goal. Still doing his fly by lazy plays.. Quote
Trizzak Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Montoya deserved better... so many amazing saves in OT and the Habs can't even register a shot. Also, Galchenyuk's first shift in OT was that last one where he looked silly with Mantha dancing around him. Quote
THE Bobby Orr Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 i just don't get #27...he looks lost out there. Quote
habs rule Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Montoya was great, the team let him down. Start him against the Canes. Quote

Toronthab Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 As others anticipated .. bit of a let down after back to back Ottawa wins... Pretty understandable. 1 Quote
Scott462 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I hope Chuck can turn his stuff around for the playoffs we really need him to step up. I like him but he isn't learning and I remember those fly by plays right at the beginning of the year and he is still doing them. Kind of sad to see that. Quote

Here's the thing though...you look at a team like Pittsburgh...and they aren't using the excuses to play a crap game. A slew of injuries...comfortably in a playoff spot, but they keep on going out there and executing and winning. This time of year, there shouldn't be 'letdown' games against teams you should be able to beat. Quote
Commandant Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 The three forwards acquired at the deadline, combined.... 17 GP, 0 goals, 1 assist. Thanks Marc, that was the extra scoring we needed. 1 Quote

Perfect for egging. Quote

Machine of Loving Grace Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Galchenyuk will never be a defensive player. Best to just accept it. That doesn't stop him from top line duty nor does it stop criticism. Just don't expect too much. What was Shea doing? Did he think if he stared at Mantha long enough that Mantha would feel bad and just dump the puck? Quote

That line is chasing the puck all the time instead of generating offense, I agree that Danault is not the answer but he's just a better center, better vision, very responsible without the puck, sets up his wingers, good in the face off circle. .

DON Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Nice to see the young finn score and team tie it up at least and just good thing Habs arnt playing the Wings in the 1st round. Quote
