Neech Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Fun third period, no whistle for over ten minutes. Not the highest caliber of hockey on display, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 St. Louis pulls the goalie without control in the offensive zone and history repeats itself once again. If this game actually mattered in the standings, I wouldn't be a happy camper seeing that happen over and over again. Have him near the blueline, then pull him if you get control. If you don't get control, at least you're not getting scored on within 10 seconds.

Neech Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Farrell was pretty invisible for the most part, go knocked over easily a couple times. Big adjustment from the NCAA to the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, in the future when the Habs get better that trend of his ends. Its unfortunate that Matheson misplayed the puck on the Flyers 3rd goal, but no biggie because the Habs are better off with a loss anyway. Primeau wasn't highly tested in this game but he looked decent and seems to have improved. I want to see him play 1-2 more games this year just to see how he does.

With a goalie in net that's still an egregious error that becomes a 1 on 1 breakaway. With normal play by the defenders we're going the other way with the extra attacker.

With a goalie in net that's still an egregious error that becomes a 1 on 1 breakaway. With normal play by the defenders we're going the other way with the extra attacker. But if Primeau is still in net, does Matheson make that desperate play? He was the last line of defence so he decided he had to try something. If Primeau is there, does he make a different play, such as play it back to Primeau to pass it forward to where the coverage isn't and basically reset? It's a bad play from Matheson, no doubt, but I think his decision to do that was based on him being the last-resort option since Primeau was pulled already. No way to know for sure obviously but that was my line of thinking for my comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
