GDT: Canucks @ Habs 7:30PM EST (RDS, SNE, SNP)

[void]

My guess as to why we've reverted to last year's dump & chase system is because Therrien asked them to simplify their game and go back to basics until Price comes back.

 

[NobleSix]

but he did make lineup changes! Semin! Obviously he's the only reason we win or lose or whatever... that's the answer... yeah...

I'm not sure if our team is closer to the October performance or this performance... obviously we're not this bad, so I'd guess somewhere in the middle leaning towards October, but we need a top-6 impact forward.

Anyways, seems like I made a smart choice switching over to Raw instead.

Agreed. If Therrien's plan is to use DD's line as the second line... yikes. That line is not a top 6 line.

Time for MB to finally improve the top 6 for more than 20 games at the end of the year. Habs top 6 has been bad for years.

Why is it that every Habs home game sounds like an away game?

because the Bell Library is too expensive for people who actually enjoy having fun at a hockey game

It's possible. Smart to go with the losing strategy.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

That would be too many roster moves. Therrien is incapable of more than bench Semin, sub flynn.

Or rotate galchenyuks right winger

To be fair, MT is showing patience. We heard a lot about him swapping lines too easily and quite frankly I like that there's patience to let them work things out and show faith in them.

The only issue is some lines(namely Galchenyuk's) need help beyond Semin/Flynn.

It is slowly turning into the ACC. Tickets are getting too pricey for the average fan.

I find when I watch on rds it's loud but the english streams are trash #rogersconspiracy

Pull your boot straps up and work habs

You never know, Semin might mesh better with DD than Galchenyuk. Who knows.

DD and Semin could click

But I'm more interested in seeing Flash with Galch

It's not just the broadcast. It's actually that quiet at the Bell Centre..

 

[LyricalLyricist]

RDS just said Tinordi refused to go to Hamilton. Is this speculation or fact now?

 

[MXD]

Galch - DD - Weise
Flash - Eller - Semin

As the middle six. What the....

 

[Tabarouette]

I meant the broadcast...

I think that has to do with sound level, usually if we're on CBC and RDS you can hear a CLEAR difference in favor of CBC

RDS just can't do sound right, ever

 

[sampollock]

Wish this team had a Pat Burns behind the bench

 

[sheed36]

At the beginning of this year, I thought we'd look more like the shortened season team...

but now we've just gone back to hacking the puck down the ice without any real possession. "The system" tends to make our players work harder than they need to, and it leads to slumps like this where we can't catch a break because there is no energy left. Therrien does not coach creativity, and when the energy and speed wares down, it shows.

It's MT's fall back strategy when things go a little south. The teams is struggling a little without their best player so he's back to the safe boring approach. Remains to be seen what will happen when Price returns but I'm not holding my breath that we'll see the up tempo aggressive team we saw start this season again.

He said the contrary yesterday.

Indeed. Very, very good 3rd line. Doesn't cut it on the Top-6.

Link? I'm so confused about what the real story is.

Score some bet it gets louder

 

[Nashy]

Not only Pleks. His buddies Pacioretty, Galchenyuk, Eller need to remove theirs also. I'll even add MT as well who's done nothing to light a fire under anyone on the Pleks or Galchenyuk lines. Only Gallagher is doing anything out there between these 2 lines. Maybe try a little shake up to see what happens to these lines?

I expect smarter play from Pleks...I agree there's a few of the lads that are playing dumb, but I hold Pleks more accountable for playing heads up hockey.

Tinordi

If MB feels no need to make a trade, then bring up one of holloway, hudon or big mac to wake up eller and chucky
