GDT: ECQF #5 - RANGERS @ Canadiens | 7 PM | CBC,TVAS,MSG

[Goldenhands]

it sucks, we are dominating bad but cant finish, lets keep playing like that, the chance will turn in our favor.. still pissed that King is playing over McCarron..

 

[CH25]

Habs are dominating this game guys

Yes but it still his feels like a coin toss game given the goal/chance ratio of the Rangers.

 

[habtastic]

Danault line pathetic though Radulov seemed to come alive at the end.

Pacioretty either has a broken leg or is the worst player of all time

 

[Bell Centre Hotdog]

I think they need to tinker the lineup try to spark some offence.

Lehkonen Galchenyuk Radulov
Pacioretty Plekanec Gallagher
Byron Danault Shaw
King Ott Mitchell

 

[David Suzuki]

Yes but it still his feels like a coin toss game given the chance/goal ratio of the Rangers.

Agreed. People in here are acting as if the Habs are being dominated.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Pacioretty deserves the heat, but man is Danault playing like ****. I know he's not a 1st line center but hes not even playing like a 4th line center at this point, Ott is outplaying him.

Danault is a playoffs 3rd line center playing on the 1st line. That's on Bergevin inability to improve the team at center.

 

[PsychoticHab]

Even if we win this series we're going to get absolutely dominated by a real team

Maybe but the winner of Boston/Ottawa would be next so we wouldn't face a "real team" for a while longer.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Could be a lot worse, who's watching the raptors? Haha

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Canadiens stopped skating in the last 5 minutes and gave the rangers free reign to enter our zone

Yeah, pretty much. Rangers kind of just waited around until the Habs tired themselves out and then counter punched. Rope A Dope strategy.

We had chances for that 3rd goal and blew them all though.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

his choice was defend nash, defend against the streaker, or stay in the middle and trust price stops/freezes it. that was a good rebound and weber was stuck between a rock and a hard place

If you're going to defend Nash then do it. Don't stick out your stick like that, run the guy over. That's what we got him for. If you're not going to do that then let the others defend him and take the other man.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Where the hell do you guys come up with this stuff? Rangers aren't a real team?

Oh come on. Let's step back from the ledge.

I don't think we're totally doomed or anything but they're definitely the easiest team on our road to the Cup and our struggling offense worries me.

 

[Markov4Captain]

And yet we have scored a bunch of highlight reels so far.


????

Ya by the same players over and over. Im not saying we have zero talent. Im saying that you cant expect Radulov to always score. Galchenyuk, Pacioretty.... these guys are not playing as good as they should. We have no one near Nash's talent level not to mention our center depth is probably worse than it was last year. If we're relying on an 18 year old rookie to score all our big goals for us, thats a problem. MB should have gotten a legit scorer at the TDL (or at any time in these last 5 yrs) and its biting us. Im not mad, its expected.

 

[Team_Spirit]

The Rangers ****ing sucks

 

[The Great Weal]

Shaw needs to do something

 

[Stive Morgan]

Maybe but the winner of Boston/Ottawa would be next so we wouldn't face a "real team" for a while longer.

Theyre very beatable yes but playoff Anderson is our kryptonite

 

[Deebs]

We're a 3rd period team... Lets go boys

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Habs are dominating this game guys

It doesn't mean much if you can't put the puck in the back of the net. They need to finish in the 3rd because all it takes is one play for the Rangers and the Habs are heading back to New York down 3-2.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Well, here comes the most important period of our season. We've got to win this. Don't want to be down 3-2.

 

[Born in 1909]

Not too worried.

CJ will make adjustments.

Habs looking good... minus the errors that cost us goals.

 

[Whitesnake]

No but you largely make your own luck over seven games. No killer instinct...2 goals isn't usually enough urgency on the PP.

To have a killer instinct, you actually have to be a killer. Our main killer, while is shooting a lot, is not killing. And then you go downhill from there. Radu, Galchy, Gallagher and Pleks are doing a really fine job. RAdu most definately is. The others....well it's inconsistent. And while Pleks is having a very very good series....you still don't think that he could come in and score the big goal.

We need our D's to come and help out here. We need scoring from the back end.

 

[eklund the clown]

Price has to play better. He's doing well, but nowhere near Price standards.

Price has been ok .Lunquist has just been alot better.Keeping the Rangers in it time and time again.What a series!!!

 

[David Suzuki]

It doesn't mean much if you can't put the puck in the back of the net. They need to finish in the 3rd because all it takes is one play for the Rangers and the Habs are heading back to New York down 3-2.

So? We can't do anything about it. People in here are crying like the habs are getting destroyed.

 

[DaNaultinus]

We got this one boys!!! No doubt the Habs come out strong and show the Rags who's boss!!

GHG!!!

 

[groovejuice]

I dunno how that wasn't a penalty. Came to say just that but it's like no one else noticed.

There were several posts about it. Mine included.

 

[The Nightman]

"I played great! **** you!" - Max Pacioretty post-game, probably.
