Murray's stick was on the wring side too, the net was to his left and he decides to go around the Bruin from his right with his stick. How can someone have such low hockey I.Q and play in the NHL?.

 

[habtastic]

I'd rather have cancer than see Josh Gorges on a power play.

For real. The only program installed in that guys brain once he crosses the red line is 'dump it in', even when there is clearly no chance of us retrieving the puck and we're ON A FRIKKIN PP!

That said, I still think this is winnable. Stranger things have happened. Need a big kill and then some vintage Habs magic in boston.

 

[Whitesnake]

Ref has been inconsistent to say the least man. You really going to disagree with me on this? And if you call that, then how does Rask not get called for the punch?

Anyways, it's one of those games. No excuses. But no, that one didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And I didn't think Plecs warranted a penalty there...

'Cause the refs want to make a show tonight. Wasn't it obvious in the first 2 minutes? THEN, if you are kinda of intelligent, you adapt, and don't do anything remotely stupid. And when refs take control of games like that, they STILL want to keep it close penalties wise. So...Boston just had their share of PP's hence not being called for the punch. it puzzles me everything that we KEEP saying how idiots the refs are and yet....we whine about penalties not being called....Well yep....they don't call it because they're idiots? Isn't it what idiot refs do?

 

[Markov4Captain]

I'm not even pissed about the effort. Its the fact that we have perfectly good players being scratched tonight. We've become a joke of the league icing Murray.

 

[JuicyHam]

don didnt take his medication this morning

Bob, don't even start.

 

[dreamingofdrouin*]

we...look.....bad we have got to be better and for the love of christ if we can't capitalize on our PP's......reffs are calling everythhing this game....****ing CAPITALIZE!!!!

 

[Nashy]

More penalties in the first period than the last 2 games.....NHL reffing at its finest.

 

[ZARTONK]

Is Vanek playing tonight?

We can't tell either

 

[Habs_Apostle]

We dominated the first 7-8 minutes, what the **** happened man.

This has been a sloppy game by both teams, not to mention the refs. Just a weird one.

 

[Deluded Puck]

Therrien will probably go back to his hating on youth next year. If Bergy lets Murray, Gionta, Bouillon go like he should, MT will be panicking lol.

Good. Then MT will be exposed for what he is at a time when the Habs should be building a youthful winning team, and hopefully Guy Boucher will come on board.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

My 3 wishes

-We make passes in the general vicinity of the intended target.
-We take the extra step to the big red line before we dump it in.
-We don't pass the puck to a player deep across the blue line when we're in the neutral zone.

Lofty standards... probably asking for too much.

 

[Gustave]

Not too thrilled that our offence is drying up.

It's slowly bringing us down.

 

[Nedved]

how many pp goals has briere been on the ice for?

he had a big play on the weise goal.

not sure why you take out a game-changer, therrien outcoaching himself.

JM hockey would have beaulieu in the line-up.

the only coach I want here is the goalie coach. that's it. Murray and Bouillon over Beaulieu, only in mtl.

 

[gusfring]

The Prust insertion is truly baffling.

 

[Tyson]

I am not sure why Tinordi has yet to see any action. Murray does nothing better than Jarred.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Finishing the check....one of the most overrated thing in hockey. Hey, you gave a scoring chance....or you have a 2 on 1....well YES...but I finished my check!!!!

Don't you worry WS, these checks are gonna pay off by game 15

 

[Dharvey33]

I'll be the first one to admit Plekanec hasn't had a good game so far tonight, but he's been our best forward so far in these playoffs...both him and Vanek have 6 points in 8 games. Markov hasn't been noticeable so far in this series but sometimes that's a good thing with him. Pacioretty and DD definitely need to do something.

Lol no Eller has been the best forward by a fair margin.

Vanek dont care about the 6 points he is MIA.
Desharnais proving haters right we aint gonna win a cup with a smurf as our 1 st line center.
Paciorretty is just looking scared out there.

 

[Treb]

Maybe has something to do with our system?

Subban isn't god. He's not perfect. He plays with high emotion. He makes mistakes. He's best when he doesn't think. On the PP he's got to much time to think.

It is our system. MT has no idea how to use fwd on the PP.

 

[Whitesnake]

Agreed, but the problem is...where is the line? If someone runs Price and he retaliates it'll be interesting to see what the refs do....if they make it 4 on 4, then it's a ****ing joke.

Again, refs are idiots and inconsistent. ABSOLUTELY. But that's something we already know. Adapt to it. If Price retaliates and we had to kill 2 PP's...I will tell you that they will surely not call anything. If we didn't have PP's before, they'll surely call it. That's what idiot refs who want to be part of the game do.

 

[Tyson]

The Prust insertion is truly baffling.

And why Ryan White has not played at all, that baffles me. Arguably our best face off man, solid penalty killer and plays solid mistake free minutes.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

It is our system. MT has no idea how to use fwd on the PP.

Our forwards are terrible on the PP you're right.

 

[OldCraig71]

I am breaking things that I can't afford to break. The Habs have quit, it's all over.

 

[CH25]

I am not sure why Tinordi has yet to see any action. Murray does nothing better than Jarred.

Exactly what I said. It sucks that the best possible line up is not being used at the most crucial time of the year.

 

[overlords]

What do I order for dinner, guys? My chicken wings went bad in the fridge

 

[Universe]

Starting to look like the Boston-Montreal of old. Shows how important every shift is. From Game 2's collapse...to Pleks not wanting to get hit and dumping it in too early tonight, it doesn't look great.
