Time to score! I feel it. Galchenyuk goal

He's not exactly getting the minutes to do it...

 

[Habsawce]

This team is horrid right now and has been since that first game against NJ.

 

[sampollock]

cmon dude....subban never dive....thats just a rumors

 

[sheed36]

Watched the final 5 minutes or so of the 1st period and this team is stale and so boring to watch. Such a struggle to score goals.

 

[ZARTONK]

Francois Gagnon's suit looks horrible, too baggy....

 

[Pricef*]

Oh no. We're losing 1-0 after one. The sky is falling!!!

 

[Athletique_Canadien]

Panthers have nothing to lose so digging deep isn`t something they need to be reminded about doing. C`mon Habs, gotta equal their effort

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

I will never understand Therrien. Lines where working somewhat adequately, then he adjusts them to get DD going. Now the lines have been crap for the last dozen games, and he refuses to do much.

Sorry, DD and Pacs isn't really doing much either so there is no harm in trying say Pleks and patches, or Eller and pacioretty.

 

[68*]

Francois Gagnon's suit looks horrible, too baggy....

Damn right. He looks ridiculous.

 

[Krnage]

Francois Gagnon's suit looks horrible, too baggy....

at least...he didnt wear the kind of suit that Cherry's wearing

Who else is sick with this dump and chase philosophy under Therrien! God, the Habs have no flow anymore, and they don't seem to be able to pass anymore. A few years ago I remember the Habs had some crisp passing, and broke out of their zone with speed, which generated chances, and then they could sustain pressure in the O-zone with said passing abilities. They play a very boring style of hockey now, reminiscent of Jersey 5-10 years ago, but Jersey had the players that could snipe when other teams faltered, and a few bruising defenders who would punish the opposition. I think the Therrien's philosophy is not right for these horses. Perhaps he is developing a system that will pay off later when we get the right horses, but god, is this dull hockey!

 

[PhysicX]

Would you guys be ok with trading Pacioretty? If the trade's fair, I would.

 

[Habsawce]

I've defended it previously but I'm really starting to question re-signing non-star players mid season with the way their play completely drops off after the contract has been signed.

Emelin has been pretty bad since coming back with a few squirts of good plays and well, Desharnais has been well documented. If he re-signs Diaz midseason I will probably be officially off the Bergevin/Dudley bandwagon.

 

[tmesis]

Honestly, I don't think the Canadiens were even playing that badly. The worst part about this game is watching the horrible, cringeworthy reffing. Who hires these clowns?

 

[Aspirine]

Francois Gagnon's suit looks horrible, too baggy....

I think he's actually very thin

 

[HatTricK09]

Would you guys be ok with trading Pacioretty? If the trade's fair, I would.

No way, unless we're able to find someone as skilled and foolish enough to praise DD and love to play with him, we can't do it

 

[LesHabsRock]

Oh no. We're losing 1-0 after one. The sky is falling!!!

I think the concern is that it's very possible the score will remain 1-0 after 3 periods.

 

[sheed36]

Would you guys be ok with trading Pacioretty? If the trade's fair, I would.

What would you consider a fair trade for Pacioretty?

 

[Habsawce]

Would you guys be ok with trading Pacioretty? If the trade's fair, I would.

I'm ok with trading anyone but Price, Subban and Chuck

It feels as though they did a 180 turn on systems after we were blown out 6-0 by LA. That, for me, is the turning point which lead to the current playstyle.

 

[Gamimenos]

Would you guys be ok with trading Pacioretty? If the trade's fair, I would.

Not if it's fair. I would trade him for an overpayment, but not a fair deal.

 

[Habsawce]

We're a grinding team with small skilled forwards, hurrah for coaching!
