GDT: ECQF #5 - RANGERS @ Canadiens

[Lycanthrope]

I hate overtime.

I wonder how many cumulative years of my life I've lost due to the stress of these games. Need another beer. We need Ottawa's luck in OT

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I saw the same in 2008 vs Flyers (Marty Biron!? How?), 2011 vs Bruins (many chances but either flubbed them or Thomas foiled them), 2013 vs Sens (outshot and outchanced OTT most of the time yet Anderson was a stonewall and everything Sens threw at net went in), 2014 vs Bruins (but got it done in 7 in spite of that), 2015 vs Sens (eked it out thanks to Hammond and Price coming up large in Game 6), 2015 vs Bolts (caught up to Habs thanks to their bouquet of incredible snipers)

2008 wasn't due to lack of finish but like you said, a Martin Biron in fine form and a rookie Price who struggled. That game 1 Kostopoulos OT goal was still awesome though. Miss that greek fool.

 

[CauZuki]

We've sucked since the end of the first.

We played well in the 2nd until the last 5 minutes or so.

Habs are outplaying the Rangers (not by a crazy amount) but still, a few bounces our way and it's a 4-2 game.

 

[HeShootsHeScores]

Wasn't expecting OT before the game started. Habs are struggling big time in this series. Can really go one way or another. We need that suck ass goal on our side. Insignificant play turning into a series breaker in our advantage.

Watching the game with my dad tonight and his new nickname for Pacioretty is diarrhea. Every time he touches the puck he says "dai diarrea" which means "let's go diarrhea" in Italian. This is coming from someone who's almost always positive about the Habs.

 

[Mario le Magnifique]

I see Lehkonen putting it in. He seems to have it today.

 

[Bell Centre Hotdog]

Well I like what Julien did with the lines near the end.

 

[Whitesnake]

Was much mroe important to send Galchenyuk a message than to get a chemistry going.

How the flying **** does this organization mention how it's important to form his team in preseason as soon as possible in order to form chemistry to start a ****ing season and yet....we are still TO THIS DAY, trying to find combinations that work in the ****ing playoffs.

Hint for the organization....when you keep looking to get different combinations, you might actually be looking to find NEW ****ING PLAYERS......and you actually hope that by mixing the lines, 2 players will get in a collision so that they'd form a new ****ing player.....

Having said all of that....we STILL can win. Go Habs Go. ********.

 

[Draft]

He's the captain. If he wasn't it may be different.

.... We're hung up on symbolism instead of actual play on the ice? That's great. Pretty apt metaphor for this team in general.

 

[OnTheRun]

MAB was better than Beaulieu

Ouch.

We had the game several times. As usual, couldn't finish.

 

[One]

Honestly I don't give a flying **** who scores in OT so long as they have a Habs jersey on

I might add in the nyr net...

 

[The Great Weal]

I will buy an andrew shaw jersey if he scores in ot

 

[Ursus the White]

I wonder why I came here
I thought the Habs would play much better
They just look a group of bedwetters..
I wonder why in OT
To live and die in OT

 

[Saint Patrick]

Who cares about the stupid letter, be mad at Pacioretty because he hasn't delivered, the letter means nothing. I'm not happy with Galchenyuk either, at all.

This has been the story with patch for years, can't compare him to chucky, we can expect more from both but patches duty is to lead by example, he's completely invisible out there

 

[Runner77]

That's very clever. But I knew that because I see a lot of ***** on the ice.

You're not alone. The angst in this forum is palpable.

 

[Doc McKenna]

How and why are we dumping on Pacioretty when Galchenyuk is playing like he's made of glass, he's clueless defensively and he's had half as many chances? I'm no Pacioretty fan, but he's playing like he has all year, the shots just aren't going in right now.

Stop this RDS bull ****. Chuckie has been back checking and has been seen below our hash marks a lot, he is helping the dmen unlike captain invisible.

 

[No More Subban]

Patches.. Chuckie.. Shaw.. wake the f up

 

[Genesis76]

Byron

Mitchel and Weber

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

AMEN

but then that leaves 28-26 with a lesser line and u know nothings going to happen then

I have no problem with Petry on the PP but Beaulieu needs to get on the bench. He probably shouldn't even play at all the way he's been playing this series.

 

[Et le But]

Not feeling good about this.

 

[Gravity]

I might add in the nyr net...

Yes that to, to be precise

 

[Team_Spirit]

Lol Tortorella

 

[CrewkHead]

One of chuckies worst game I ve seen so far. He is not even trying to win his battle. He better score in OT

 

[OnTheRun]

.... We're hung up on symbolism instead of actual play on the ice? That's great. Pretty apt metaphor for this team in general.

One is playing on the first line and is supposed to spearhead our offense. The other started the series on the 4th line with 2 plugs. Symbolize that.
