"Douglas Murray is a presence out there, he brings the physical element we are looking for from our defence" - #Habs Therien #BellLetsTaIk

I can't....I can't

Well, he is a presence out there, for better or for worse, he tosses guys aside and clears the net like no one else on this team. It's just too bad his overall game is lacking and he's playing way too many minutes.

Yes, I agree with him, He is a presence. And in my opinion he does fill a need. I don't post often and don't want to feed the Therrien fire but the fact is, that Murray is being misused.

If he was being used to serve his purpose (Lay a big hit, Clear the net, play low minute, pure defensive shifts within his limits (I.E. Hang back and don't get caught because of course it's true his skating is slower than global warming)

Canes fan here with a question:

Do you find the Canes top 2 centers to be intimidating? Our announcers seem to think that having 2 6.4 200 lb monsters coming at you eventually wear teams down. Thoughts?

They are tough to play against for sure but I don't really consider the Staals the way I would Messier or Lindros or whatever just because of their size.

Nice. Parros is in to deal with Semin if he goes on a slap attack. Parros will probably suffer a concussion from it, but at least he was in the lineup instead of you know... Someone ****ing skilled at something.

Very nice GDT!

Not feeling good about the game tonight, the Murray-Parros special along with ****ing DD as your PP center and a ****ing 3rd line that's not really one.

Hello everybody, long time lurker first time poster!

I am undecided on my opinion of Therrien. It's easy for the armchair coaches to sit back and say he's misusing players or has a bad relationship with others, but he does have a ton of NHL experience and took the East's worst team to 2nd in one season. And he has the Habs currently sitting 5th, even though I think we can all agree there are teams with way more talent below us in the standings.

He's done a great job considering what he has been given, but are the players starting to tune him out? Even if he gets fired and replaced will it make a difference? I think expecting this team to finish top 3 in the East again is very unrealistic.
