GDT: Buffalo Sabres vs Montreal Canadiens- 2/3/15 7:30pm EST SNE,RDS (HD),TSN 690

[Mrb1p]

It's a freaking rave in the Bell center right now

 

[M.C.G. 31]

No trades will help this team if they continue to play like this. The roster is so much better than what they show on the ice.

Of course. We're never prepared to play. It's the coaching staff.

 

[Andy]

Thomas with Plekanec and Pacioretty?

 

[sampollock]

MT has no idea how to fix this pp

 

[Kenny Powders]

Subban was ready to let the Sabres player come and get the puck again..LOL

It's ****ing terrible how he does it

 

[Saintpatrick*]

We aren't really a top team though, we have the top goaltender and a few good player. We've been playing like that all year. Price just has one of those games where he's not a god.

But the record....look see the record?

 

[CH25]

Therrien putting the numbers in his lottery ball again to make his lines

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

I wonder what the coach of a losing team says to his team before, during and after games?

Good effort? Let's get this one tonight boys? I just wanna see some improvement? It's my birthday, come on boys, please?

Thomas on the first line with Plekanec and Patches.

 

[Andy]

How is Sekac benched at ES, but plays first wave PP. If you're going to punish a player, be consistent.

 

[sheed36]

Weise off the top line and Thomas now with Pleks and Max?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

MT has no idea how to fix this pp

Well, the players could hit the net tonight. That's not a coaching issue. Lots of blown chances.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Thomas on the first line with Plekanec and Patches.

Wat.

 

[Hoople]

Same old crap lines from MT that still can't score and can barely generate scoring chances.

Therrien and his constant line juggling act continues.

 

[Ezpz]

Thomas shows nothing for 7 games. Is completely invisible in the current game. Better put him on the top line.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Thomas on the top line.

line combos get worse and worse

 

[Mrb1p]

But the record....look see the record?

I look see the record but I'd rather look see the games.

 

[Kenny Powders]

see that line Therrien, KEEP it ****.

Energy line

 

[Andy]

Wat.

Better than Weise?

 

[sampollock]

Nathan is have a tough game

 

[CH25]

Wat.

We have to even the playing field, can't have NHL players out on the ice vs AHL players

 

[Whitesnake]

How is Sekac benched at ES, but plays first wave PP. If you're going to punish a player, be consistent.

7 games rest coming.

On TSN tonight they said that Nolan has gone so far as to tell the guys to play hard because some contending team might want to pick them up if they play well...

... or don't punish players?

It doesn't help anybody - if a player consistently and constantly goes against your tactics or instructions you bench him for the game, not during the game and hurt your team.

Negative reinforcement rarely works - this is the kinda unintellectualism that really turns me off of Therrien but I'm sure most coaches are "old-school" like this.

Well, it might be on the coach... Since there's fourth line grinders in our top 6
