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

[Natey]

Pacioretty constantly led the team in points but was also invisible offensively

Sure, but he also did nothing else. Lehkonen always gives 200%.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Carey sucks and isn't the greatest anymore, buyout contract please
Go tank go!

Aren't those two statements contradictory?

 

[jBuds]

Domi is a freak. I can’t properly describe the fear he instills when he’s on the ice.

I feel the same way about price

 

[GHJimmy]

Yes. Otherwise I would not have said it

 

[Canadienna]

Price cost us, no doubt. But I hope the rest of the team doesn't feel off the hook, that's not a consistent way to win games, even if Price should have that OT goal.

A few bright spots this game with Drouin/Domi but overall a poor defensive effort against a close divisional team.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

If Benn is still on the top pairing next game

The Benn - Petry pairing have not worked at all, and its been like what 10 games?
They cause several goals against every game...

Mete was playing with Petry at the start of the season and it was a good pairing...

Sure, but he also did nothing else. Lehkonen always gives 200%.

200% as a 20-30 point player is still a 4th liner.

Talking about other stuff than Price.....the day that Byron told us that they were already tired, is the day you should have been concerned about this team. It says a lot. Too small, system too demanding for how small they are. Overall mediocre D....that team gave us hope. They will rebound. But they are what they are....a bubble team that I hope will be way less than that if we ever want to rebuild seriously.

@Lshap I remember we had a discussion about this on the main board

I'd be curious to see an UBER video about our powerplay.

It was definitely still entertaining instead of the boring robot style hockey from the last 2 seasons and if we are going to lose this is definitely the best way to do it. On a different note, it is amazing to me to see how much of a difference there is in NHL goalies with just a few small tweaks to equipment, there are some goals being scored this year that look really bad and analysts are saying that the equipment is the cause. How many goals would we see today if goalies still looked like this?

 

[40Armia]

Lmao Price. Nuff said

 

[Adam Michaels]

Red Light Pricicot!

 

[40Armia]

Honestly im pleasantly surprised with this years Habs !! Very exciting win or lose. Look they have the exact same record as the SJ Sharks ! And are one point behind the almighty 18-19 stanley cuo champ Leafs.
My only disappointment is Price really !! But then i look at Rask and wonder if this has to do with the new goalie equipment?
That said maybe with this team Price just doesn’t fit. Move him IF you can

Probably less considering those pads, blockers and gloves are all illegal due to size.

 

[Scintillating10]

Conceding overmuch.

Killing our chances on the 2 man advandage miserably...

Goaltending killing them. At some point it will break team morale. If it hasn't already.

 

[Tuggy]

Price was off all game. Very slow on lateral movements. Bad control of rebounds. I hope it was the flu and nothing more.

He's been shit for 5 games straight.

No excuse for his play right now. He's a headcase.

He even said it during his postgame, "It's not physical, it's mental right now". It's been mental with him for a few years now...

If entertainment sport upsets some of you that much, you should get another hobby. Reading some of the messages here you'd think you guys are all in the Hall of Fame when in fact the "worst" player in the NHL right now would skates circles around 95% of the posters here.

Was at the game last night and a number of things stood out besides the obvious.
Our work on faceoffs was horrible two lost Ozone draws in the first period alone resulting in immediate two on ones going the other way. Two Dzone losses resulting in goals.
I hate the animator and the DJ a ton of useless noise.
4 Michigan Hot Dogs 2 bags of chips and 2 draft $73.00
Enjoyed the game for the most part except for that useless point.
Was thinking if this continues the Cage may include a disclaimer with their wings offer.
5 goals and must win the game to qualify.

Thank God my buddy had gift cards for the food and beverage or I'd actually be crying.

 

[le_sean]

The 5 on 3 is pathetic. Not one shooter.

It’ll be nice to have Weber back. But it would also be nice to have a forward that can shoot a one-timer.

To their credit, the Habs let Kotkaniemi take plenty of faceoffs, almost all of which he lost. But that's exactly the kind of faith and big-picture patience we need to see with the kids. It's worth losing possession to let him develop.

Yeah, I was also at the game and was entertained. Like watching a bunch of cars skid into each other in the winter -- it's an accident, but you can't turn away.

I love your tagline!

 

[Tuggy]

I said it during the GDT last night, but this season I never feel like they are going to score on a 5 on 3. I have 0 confidence in them until Weber comes back. They have zero shooting threat.

Oh well. Still tied with the Sharks

Damn, you really stuck it to us. We are bad at hockey compared to NHL players.

We have a forward who’s got a good one timer but apparently you need to be at least 19 to be on the 1st PP
