Third period starts, they start running into eachother, falling down, can't connect on a pass, skating lost in their own zone. That 3rd period was embarrassing. Something major has to change after what just happened. The Corsi percentage is clear ... 1st period: 74% 2nd period: 54% 3rd period: 43% And, on top of that, they were able to finish their opportunities better than the Habs were.

tomh009 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I do have to assume that the injuries (and all the injury replacements, from Kovalchuk down to the AHL journeymen) do impact the team's ability to play with Julien's system. The newer players have no experience with it, so the system falls apart. And we give the opposition glorious scoring opportunities, which they are more than pleased to take advantage of.

The 1st round pick of every team that doesn't make the playoffs has a shot at #1.

CockyHabs86 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Dear my Habs fans, Our season has no hope. My worst fear is being up 2 goals and from now and forever, I will always be scared of this lead. We can't win games even when Carey plays well. Our defensive crumble occurs, every 3rd period, it's absolutely horrendous. I don't understand why. We play decent defense for the first 2 and the 3rd is the worst. Claude Julien needs to go. As much as I disagree with Marc Bergevin and his choices. Claude Julien is to blame for the defensive breakdown. Tanking and getting rid of the fat is is our best option, I watched a reasonably solid game tonight, or so I thought, and we still can't come out with a W or even at least a point. Sad Hab right here. Full on rebuild should be in full effect, right now! Edited January 10, 2020 by CockyHabs86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always the last period where we fail miserably. This has to be something in the management that they know about that we don't. We are blowing this on purpose I feel like. These guys are professionals. They don't tank games unless they're told to most likely. I get that we don't have the most consistent roster nor the depth, but what other excuses are there? Play 2 period, I tell my wife, just watch what happens. Guess what, I predicted it. Look at me, genius. No, it happens every single game.

Unfortunately. We were always a bubble team, to start with. After a decent start, we got some injuries combined with dodgy goaltending and went into a tailspin. And we still have not stabilized the team. The injuries are not the only factor, to be sure, but they definitely contributed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’re beyond salvation now. Let’s hope Bergevin can sell some (older) assets at the deadline, and then let’s enjoy the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This simply is not a good time, poorly constructed with too many holes and kids put in positions they shouldn’t be in. tires of hearing about bad bounces. Good teams good bounces go there way more on average. Bad teams use them as an excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
