I mean even the last place team in the league wins games. And no team wins every game, the Habs have just won 4 in a row and are playing back to back with travel against a team that hasn't played since Wednesday.

Scott462 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Too much overthinking on the PP, they are expecting something to go wrong. Gotta change that mentality and just try to have fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have played a lot of hockey. Knowing this team they come out and tie it in the third and hopefully get a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Tampa is the best team in the league so far this season, and by a lot. They also lost 7-1 to the Arizona Coyotes this season. They also have a loss to the Senators this season. No team goes undefeated against even "bottom feeders" Its a long season and shit happens.... the NHL is about being consistent over 82 games, not how you perform on one night.

They just never had a good goaltender to complement them. Now I think they finally do in Mr.Hart. So we're coming into this game after playing the night before, for what its worth i think we been playing a good game for a team whos played the night before. Hart just made big saves to keep his team in it. Something you're not use to seeing with flyers goaltending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even kidding. Seriously. Sad. Habs also suck 4 v 4, so they are actually better off having 2 players slash someone immediately and trying to score 3 v 4.

Habs came out strong, got stymied by a Price-like goalie performance, and gradually lost speed as fatigue from 4 games in 6 nights. Pretty simple game story, and a fairly predictable one the longer the game went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the end of the habs absolute worst stretch of the season in terms of games played in a short period and the flyers were off since wednesday. When the habs were going well early and couldnt score on hart... fading in the last 25 minutes of the game was a given. Now a bit of a rest to wednesday and then a long break after that.

alfredoh2009 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The Habs should have won, they were the better team for the first half of the game. They just didn't have the jump they usually have shown this season. Kulak pinched in and MTL got a goal, where Reilly pinched and PHI got a goal... it was a night like that. I liked Hudon's game, for someone who has not played in a long time he was fine. I hope he plays on Wednesday again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Domi tied for 41st in scoring. Is good to have at least 1 in top 50. Petry 12th in d-scoring. Habs tied for 9th in league. Solidly in 31st on the PP But up to 16th on the PK Just need 2 more wins to tie last years total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to seem him shaking off his mid-season slump. Still, that our top FW is 41st in scoring illustrates how this team just does not have the top-tier talent to truly contend. We will need guys like K-man and Suzuki to evolve into more than top-50 producers in order to escape the purgatory of being, as Larry David says, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, prettyyyyyyyyyy good...not great. It doesn't help our medium term prognosis that the three key cogs on the back end (Price, Petry, and Weber) are all on the back 9, but that's a problem for another day I suppose.

Lucic and Krejci both had 62 points, good for a tie for 39th in the league the year the Bruins won the cup. On the back end the " key cogs on their back 9" included: Chara - 33 years old and Tim Thomas - 36 years old and winner of the Conn Smythe. I can't recall who the coach was of that team but I'm sure he was pretty good and relevant to my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 In 09-10 playoffs, Plekanec was tied for 26th in reg season scoring, Habs got to 3rd round in 13-14 playoffs, Pacioretty was 44th in reg season scoring and got to 3rd round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
