GDT: ECQF #5 - RANGERS @ Canadiens

[NobleSix]

Habs have 1 shot this whole period. That's pathetic.

scratch that 2 now thanks to casper

 

[sukimono]

Captain crunch......

 

[Runner77]

Damn, Pax had a goal on his stick on that clean breakaway. When nothing works ... nothing works.

 

[yianik]

Cmon man. Where you come through.

 

[Whitesnake]

That was your chance bro.....what a weak shot.

 

[LeHab]

Pacio with a golden opportunity

 

[Nashy]

As always....the effort is there.....the results, not so much.

 

[Nedved]

lundqvist is owning us.

 

[Habs13]

Most lackluster breakaway I have EVER seen

 

[le_sean]

Of course he only skates when he knows he can have a breakaway. He's gutless.

 

[The Nightman]

You cannot miss that ffs! Terrible on breakaways and even worse under pressure. CHOKE!

 

[Hab-a-maniac]

I'd rather captain Gionta back at this point.

By 2014 he was washed up thanks to a few injuries but yeah he was more of a prototypical leader-type of guy. I'll never forget how clutch he was in 2010 and 2011 along with Cammy. Patches hasn't had those moments much (series winners vs TB and BOS in 2014 stand out but otherwise, he hasn't come through when we needed him to. The other side of the sword is how bad our offence would be if not for him and his 35 goals this year not to mention how many were OT winners, albeit in 3-on-3 I realize). He's like a poor man's Kessel and I feel he'd need to go to an elite team a la Penguins to fade into the background and just do his thing.

Then he may finally be regarded as a non-choker in the playoffs. The pressure placed on his role as the team's sniper extraordinaire was one Stephane Richer often faced hard times with and even he had great playoff production but it might be worse cause he ain't a local guy AND he wears the C. Doubt we see Patches traded unless it's in a plum of a deal that nets us a great youngster or two. Unfortunately for him when he's a UFA he'll wanna cash in after his poor contract he signed and that'll limit his options to weaker teams with room to spend $5.5-6.5M per year on a sniper.

 

[WeThreeKings]

My cat could have saved that. he didn't even shoot hard or in a good location

 

[Genesis76]

For Pacioretty can he do it??????........


.......Nooooooooo

 

[Lycanthrope]

Hank is getting it done. He's been lucky but you have to be good to be lucky

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Usually they deploy Galchenyuk on an offensive zone faceoff, if you lose that faceoff you spend most of that shift chasing the puck. Can't score without the puck. I would switch back to the lines of last game at the end.

If they deploy Dannault it doesn't matter if you win the faceoff or not.

I'll take the 40 percent chance we win. And if we don't then I'll take the chance we can get the puck back. Enough with playing guys who can't freaking score.

 

[sheed36]

There's another thread for that.

I don't see moderator under your name. Let them decide what's acceptable to post and what's not. Thank you.

 

[LeHab]

Nice reception

 

[The Nightman]

Most lackluster breakaway I have EVER seen

We make it so easy on him

 

[Draft]

Don't see anything from Galchenyuk. Just weak any time he doesn't have the puck and not fast enough to make space. Centre or not, just not what he needs to be.

 

[Mario le Magnifique]

You can't win a cup icing a lineup that has no real talent. Daneault, Plekanec, Shaw is an awful combo to lead your lines. Absolutely horrific. It's on the GM.

Totally.

Molson needs to realise the sad reality that we're gonna have to rebuild.

 

[Runner77]

Habs have 1 shot this whole period. That's pathetic.

That was it then, the Pacioretty breakaway? Plus Lehkonen just now, so 2 shots. Pathetic.

 

[No More Subban]

Patches is fn done.

Who cares if he scores 35 goals in the regular season next year

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Dammit.

 

[luthar]

Capt'in 0 in 26... nice avg!
