Post-Game Talk: End of the Cinderella Story, Habs lose to Sabres 6-5

[26Mats]

Our lack of talent and elite shooter shows on the PP. It's basically 5 guys passing the puck and none is comfortable to shoot it.

imo the first unit can be decent, especially if Petry can start hitting the net or Weber comes back. Drouin, Domi, Gallagher, Petry/Weber, and either Kotkaniemi or Tatar is good personnel. The problem is the coaching.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Our D tonight:
Benn - Petry
Alzner - Reilly
Ouelett - Mete

Our D when healthy:
Reilly - Weber
Mete - Petry
Schlemko - Juulsen

man that would make a huge difference

 

[26Mats]

Then you never saw Theo play

yeah I did

This why my France French has a problem, fait face a la musique, face? That’s not a France French word (I’m guessing it says Price faces the music?) now living in Ottawa (although more precisely Stittsville, Kanata) I’ve never seen so much French (in Calgary you got French coming out of the airport and that’s it, I only met one person who spoke French and she was from Montreal)

 

[Frank Drebin]

Weber's contract is perfectly fine. Price, Alzner and Shaw (in that order) have the worst contracts. I can live with Shaw's, although I would try to trade him. The two others are just pure junk.

Feel the same way. Unless Weber comes back as a third pairing dman his contract is fine.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Just as gimmicky, if not more gimmicky, than a shootout.

I they want this garbage then make all games worth the same. 3 points. 3 for regular win. 2 for OT/SO win and 1 for OT/SO lose.

But that would ruin their 'parity'

 

[Video Coach]

I am a big Carey Price fan and I will just always stand on his side as long as he is with us. He needs to get going , almost every elite athletes go through rough patches where people believe they are done. True elite players come out stronger from these strech. Ovechkin was done at some point , Crosby was cooked at some point.

Maybe his knee is not feeling great, maybe he just realises it will never come back to what it was. Personally I had a knee injury and I lost like 50% flexibility on it probably for the rest of my life. Luckily I play forward cant imagine the feeling for a goalie.

Maybe he still feels he missed the chance of a lifetime to win a cup in 14' playoffs where he got injured by Kreider.

I think what happens seems to be mostly a mental problem and yes he wins a LOT of money but money does not buys confidence or swagger and it does not cure depression.

He needs to pick up his game and I feel like the fans in montreal are actually going to make it harder on him now because he is struggling/winning ton of money.Fans always had a love/hate relation with him. Cheers would help but BOO's will come.

Right on.

He's 31. There's lots of runway left. Almost every elite player goes through this, the true elite stay with it and find a way back.

I believe he's eventually going to get back to a very consistent, high level goaltender. I think he's a winner and we can win with him. But we probably won't be ready to win with this core for another 2-3 years. That puts Carey at 33-34 which is not necessarily old for a goalie. I think he can good really good until 36 or so, just in the way he plays and approaches the game.

I really hope he doesn't become another player run out of town by fans and media.

 

[Lycanthrope]

TSN radio guys getting owned as far as I’m concerned....until he said we were only one player away from being a cup contender.

 

[Scintillating10]

LOL

Some HF posters Kicking players when they are down... Piling on..

Give Price some love & a break & a slap on the back.

That's how people move forward.

Enough with the 10.5 talk.

Price been bad for 2 years. Almost

 

[Frank Drebin]

Can't wait to finally see Weber start practicing more.....From "we don't want to rush him" to "he's ready soon" in no time....

The overpaid useless dman with the albatross contract?

Yes this team needs him badly. Yet he has no trade value around the league. Weird.

 

[Runner77]

Any link or transcript of Carey's post game interview?

No, but we have a comment from Drouin ...

That last call was good!

 

[Frank Drebin]

What the hell could of broke him if it wasnt his knee , hes not even playing like a top 10 goalie atm , even saying top 10 might be flattering

Top ten is insulting to good goalies.

Bottom 5

This why my France French has a problem, fait face a la musique, face? That’s not a France French word (I’m guessing it says Price faces the music?) now living in Ottawa (although more precisely Stittsville, Kanata) I’ve never seen so much French (in Calgary you got French coming out of the airport and that’s it, I only met one person who spoke French and she was from Montreal)

The expression coping with music is modeled on the English to face the music, which means "face the situation" or "assume the consequences".

 

[Lycanthrope]

That last call was good!

Ya and they couldn’t handle the truth, for the most part at least until he went off the rails at the end.

While there are plenty of "anglicism" in Quebec spoken french. I must point out:

Définitions : face - Dictionnaire de français Larousse

"Côté quelconque de quelque chose ; chacune des parties extérieures de quelque chose : Les faces d'un cristal. Mets l'autre face du disque."

 

[Lycanthrope]

Kotka should have played more. Mete too. Movement jeunesse my ass. Caller making a good point. Leopards can’t change their stripes.

 

[Habby4Life]

Well let us know when we should be worried.

Nothing wrong with being worried. His play has to improve but the hysterics is tired and old

 

[Frank Drebin]

Good interview. Good to see him take ownership

 

[Belial]

It seems like no one can handle the truth lately... Carey is just not delivering FFS! There's nothing wrong in criticizing his game! We do it all the time for all the other players.

Ok translated that and it makes no sense

 

[CauZuki]

Well you are right in the sense that it is an anglicism , which is why it sounds wrong but face is a word in French as well.

This explains why proper french shouldn't be using this expression as it's a literal translation from english:

Banque de dépannage linguistique - Faire face à la musique

 

[lxc03]

Nice to attack other members in your first post.

Please point out any "attack" on other members. Or point out a statement that is false... I thought this board accepts over the top exaggeration.. but it in seriousness. 1 point out of 2 for tonight game. 8-5-3 record. Not much was expected about this team this season. But reading these posts makes it sound like we're contending for the cup.

 

[Runner77]

Ok translated that and it makes no sense

They give examples on this site: face the music - French translation – Linguee

He needs to face the music on that one. www2.parl.gc.ca	Il doit faire face à la musique. www2.parl.gc.ca
It was time to "Face the Music". ocsm-omosc.org	Il était temps de faire face à la musique.

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

It's as you originally thought, the expression is tantamount to "facing the music" in English.

 

[Archijerej]

Points are all that matters at this time.
Weber, Byron, Armia, Schlemko and Plekanec could help this team.
Habs are still 3rd in the conference.....tied at #6 in the NHL.

Things are still going pretty well for the Habs

That's true. Overreaction IS the name of the game on this board. The are some concerning trends in our game, however. We are bleeding goals. Lots of them. And our franchise goalie seems to be absolutely shellshocked.
