Pre-Game Talk: Game 4, Tuesday

[That Habs Fan]

Interviews with Therrien and the team have me encouraged that we'll play our game tomorrow night.

We will win if we do that.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Flash back to 1 year ago...this statement reads exactly the opposite way.

I'm not a huge Desharnais fan, never have been. But things can change quickly in the NHL

Yes and when Eller and Galchenyuk are outpacing him by a mile it will seem even worse. Our centre depth is becoming much stronger and DD is now a 3rd/4th liner.

 

[void]

I agree.

ArponBasu:
My personal opinion, Therrien needs to worry more about his team than what he's going to say to reporters.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Hope for a better game tomorrow. Yesterdy was painful.

GO HABS!

 

[Madevilz]

Can anyone tell me which team in NHL history has gone to win the Cup after being blown out in a game? It must have happened...

dunno, but I remember us being dominated and losing 1-3 to the caps before going to the Eastern finals in 2010

 

[InglewoodJack]

Can't see the Habs losing. Too much on the line, they bounce back after losses, etc.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Did MT break up DD and Patches today at the practice?

 

[CaliHab84]

We HAVE to get the first goal next game....

 

[Habaddict]

This was supposed to be a team built from the goal out. I think the
only way we win this series is if Price is our best player every game.
I'm still optimistic that it could happen.
But we also need big games from Markov, Plekanec, and MaxPac.
These should be our best payers, and we need them to be that.
I didn't mention Subban because I'm pretty confident he'll bring
his usual strong game. He doesn't have many bad games anymore,
and at least when he had a bad one, he made Turris deal with his
frustration.

But our job as fans is to keep cheering for the Habs. Watching games
isn't that difficult. So I expect a big effort from each and every one of you.
I know I'm ready to bring it!

We need the first goal next game and Desharnais has to play like he wants his team to win. Same thing for Pacioretty if he plays.

 

[Saint Patrick]

Scratch DD put in Halpern. DD has played like poop all season and hasn't been punished even once. Every time his line gets "split up" he ends up with more icetime than anyone. He is not good at anything.

Its time, Halpern deserves to play. He did a great job game 2. Please sit DD, for at least one game, his input is pathetic, dont think it will happen.

I too agree. Halpern brings good vibes to this team. At least, he's doing useful things on the ice.

 

[Nicko999]

Man... if Desharnais does not wake the **** up, we're done!

Price have to be better as well!

 

[HeShootsHeScores]

Hopefully next game the sens won't be allowed to protect from a hit with a crosscheck in the face.

 

[Coldplay]

Feeling good about this one. Best test of character there is. GO HABS GO.

 

[Nicko999]

Who is next to lose a teeth? Pacioretty?

 

[void]

Did MT break up DD and Patches today at the practice?

It was only an optional skate. We'll see tomorrow.

 

[Habssince89]

We better win. Game 3 was so painful to watch and the score becomes irrelevant because the series would be 2-1 regardless. But to lose in that fashion makes my blood boil. MT better wake up and get back to our game 2 lineup because Gio and Max suck right now. Halpern needs in, and I agree with those who say DD needs to sit.

#Habs @CP0031 describing last night's insanity, invoked the Anchorman line, "It escalated quickly." P.S. Price loves Will Ferrell films.

 

[Habskrieg]

I agree.

ArponBasu:

Seriously... He's commenting too much about what the other coach is doing. I don't know if he's really pissed about it or if he's only saying all of this in order to put more media attention on McLean and give him more distraction, or if he's talking about anything but his players to avoid reporters focusing on his boys. But if MT is really pissed about the time out and what McLean has been saying, then he's obviously being played and Paulrus has gotten under his skin.

MT should be putting his team back in place. Getting the players to produce when they should be. Getting the players to tighten up their defensive play. And motivating everyone to give it their all.

 

[Muminek]

I believe those who say that Therrien is drawing the attention to himself on purpose are right. He knows Montreal media and fans so he`s giving them some fodder to get stupid about instead of being a distraction to the team.
I`m sure he and the team won`t try to beat the Sens at their game again. It just never works for us, whether it`s Bruins, Sens or Leafs. Habs hockey is smart and disciplined (especially with our PK).

[habs88]

Lol what a dive

 

[CupInSIX]

Can anyone tell me which team in NHL history has gone to win the Cup after being blown out in a game? It must have happened...

Can't think of any series off the top of my head,but Cherry goes on about this every year. Apparently teams that get blown out always come back hungry the next game.

Well, obviously not always but it happens quite a bit.

SC FLASHBACK: MORNING SKATE

That cracked me up so much. What the hell

Oh, and on a side note, the entire league pretty much hates the Habs now and many count us out. Isn't this the type of thing the Habs thrive off of? We can do it. GO HABS!!!
