He tried that a couple of times on Karlsson. Neither worked but if it even plants the seed in the defender that he might try it, that may give him that little bit of room to get the shot off. While the Habs played a lot better in the first half of the period, that second half wasn't particularly impressive. It's nice that they're winning but they could be playing a whole lot better.

ehjay Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Pleky seems a little slow tonight with Hudon but Schlemko is like on fire going up ice. Edited November 30, 2017 by ehjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 As I see the Sens bumping Price at every opportunity with no fear, and Smith falling into him on purpose the way he blatantly did, I find myself questioning why Deslauriers hasn't responded.

Good question! In fact, why hasn't ANYBODY on this team done anything to warn the hens that they shouldn't be touching Carey Price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed at 1 point he was about to go with a Sens dude but Habs hadn't scored yet and the hens guy seemed to back off too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Long live the randomness of the faceoff stat. Drouin is at 39.5% on the season but is 6/7 tonight. Duchene is at 56.3% on the season but is 1/10 tonight. Ottawa ranks first in the league in team faceoff percentage while the Habs are 23rd. Naturally, it's Montreal that has won 73% of the draws through 40 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 'code' crapola big lazy Laraque spewed didn't fly with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Man, Pleks is just lost once he hits the opposing team's blue line. 6 million dollar defensive specialist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly! It's as if he's lost all offensive abilities. Hard to believe he once managed a 70 point season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, why hasn't ANYBODY on this team done anything to warn the hens that they shouldn't be touching Carey Price! It is like I mentioned in a previous post, this D is very soft once you take Weber out of it. There is no way if you bump, stumble or fart near Price while Weber is out there that you don't get ragdolled out of the crease, face washed, and likely have a hole burned into your soul by the gaze of death. It is just a different dynamic when he is there, there is an intimidation factor, and a je ne sais quoi to keep players honest more often than not, and he doesn't even need to fight to make it happen, he just does. It is not like Alzner is going to put the fear of god in these guys, so basically when players like Smith look up and down the bench right now and ask themselves who is going to come and push me around if I bump Price "accidentally". It simply isn't going to be as daunting of a task as when a guy like Weber is starring at you from the bench, or he takes a couple strides towards you after you have done something stupid near our net and you know whatever is coming, won't feel very good.

The last thing this team can afford is to risk is Price getting more injury prone due to fatigue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 JoeLassister, the streak continues What a nice win by the CH. Schlemko an Jerabek are an improvement. And Carey is back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
