Habs Lose in Boston
- Thread starter expy
- Start date
Yes was going on all game. I don't get it.
But they are big, strong, agressive. Also defense has great the first pass, that's why they have a quick transition into OZ. Compare with your. Also don't forget the experience and the fact that Dach hasn't played all season, Armia played in the second line but he wouldn't have played higher than third in Boston either. And look: Suzuki - 25, Dach - 23, Newhook - 23, Slafkovský - 21.

Because we've looked so good these first two games?
We pretty much just got run over and B2B isn't a great excuse game two into a new season.
Losing is one thing but that was pretty ugly.
To me, Primeau's weakness is that he plays way, way too much on his knees. That tendency makes him vulnerable to high shots and greatly limits his mobility in the crease. I don't think that tendency can be coached away.

Like someone else mentioned earlier he plays really small for a decent sized goalie.
It suppose to be an ugly game?
Since when were good in a back to back in Boston with our backup in net?

Mon dieu, did we lose a game we were expected to win?
I missed all the action.
Did anyone fight?

This team is easily bottom 10, maybe worse. Montembeault will have to play like Price on a regular basis if they want to finish higher than that.
Hutson was the best player again, Matheson still trash on the PP — wake the **** up Marty. Top 6 needs to be way better —Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf all invisible at even strength, rough game for Dach but he’ll need time won’t be too hard on him.
Team as a whole is trash defensively, constantly stuck in the D zone and can’t get out. Hard to watch.

I hope Mailloux tears up the AHL and forces Hughes to bring him back. At least he isn't soft
Sorry RR only accept greens in a duffel bag.
Lane Hutson is the best, and he is ours.
I won't say you are wrong but those two goals he gave up off the left side of his crease just can't happen. Those were team killers.
Bruins keep getting bigger and bigger..they must have about 10 guys that look like Shrek out there lol. I guess getting slapped around by Panthers two years in a row in the playoffs will do that to you.
Lane Hutson going ppg this season
The kid is pure magic. I like that he got to play with the first line after St-Louis changed the pairings.
Primeau was really bad, but let s face it Swayman was not much better tonight. For me that s always the same issues coming back :
Transition game, forwards don t propose immediate solutions to the Dmen so they have to do these long stretch passes which rarely work
Possession game, little ability to keep pressure in the o zone
Defensive coverage, collapsing around the net leaving way too much space to opponents and confusing coverage across players leading to several goals
Not the end of the world, some games you win, some you lose, but if this team really wants to play some offense as Hughes said, they ll need to have the puck more and to shoot more.

Most of these complaints come down to coaching. Marty needed a competent assistant with NHL experience and instead hired an old coach of his. The PP needs Hutson desperately, the PK makes 0 sense, Arber played bad but still 10 mins for a Dman? What's the point? Especially in a lost game. Really disappointed in MSL as a tactician. He's probably a very smart guy who orates at an elite level but someone has to tell him to wake up. The icetime distribution, the defensive schemes, the in zone coverage, the lines, none of it makes sense
He doesn't need the money, if he did he wouldn't be coaching SKA, he's much more into business, and he's excellent at marketing etc.
You probably won't get Demidov this season. Mikhkov has already left, SKA can't lose another young player. I even doubt they will loan him to another KHL team.
He's going to have to rethink those other two pairings.
The problem is we've seen the Savard/Matheson duo in the past and there was a reason they moved away from it.
As much as our D looked bad I don't understand why our forwards aren't able to play harder in the D zone.
Biggest disappointment so far is how ineffective Slafkovsky has been this year. Except for a few shifts in the third period tonight, he has been, as you noted: invisible and very ineffective. But the season is young and Slafkovsky has a lot of runway to prove that he was worth that very large contract.
