Post-Game Talk: Habs lose two straight to Ottawa

[Redux91]

Carey letting in that 4th goal and getting jobbed on our 5th goal is just..tough as a fan.., I feel like how Ottawa fans used to feel lol

Gally est en tabarnak.
BS call

 

[Dharvey08]

Price isn't losing us games, the team in front is playing terribly.
Having said that, Price isn't playing like an elite goalie and we should play Allen/Price 50/50 until one of them strings together some solid games and ride the hot goalie.

The season is too short to hope Price starts playing better, we need to have him compete to win the #1 spot because he ain't playing like one right now.

Allen has some of the best stats of the league what more proof do you need ?

Allen needs to start the next two games for sure

This season is in julien head. Atleast bergie went out and got him the guys he wanted. The toughness size goal scoring he wanted. Got rid of juliens problem in domi. And julien has danault play 18 mins. Bc haricot on the first pair. Things are rough man

Getting that goal called back was... epically bad.

Not just because it took what was a badly needed win away from us but it was just a flat out bad call.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I'm not arguing Price has been good mate, and I don't think any goalie is worth that money, had argued as much when he was an upcoming UFA.

But he's still not the problem. The team in front is playing like shit. It's like the moment Price allows a bad goal then fans forego the pathetic attempt at hockey put forth by the team in front.

I never said he was the ONLY problem.

All i said was he's not playing well and your best players need to be your best players. End of story.

Washington would be far more upset if Ovechkin plays badly than Eller. Common sense.

As I said in the other thread, Price entering next season at 34 playing this way with his contract would not be claimed by Seattle.

 

[Zorba]

And price will let in atleast one softie per game.

Price HAD a great career. He carried us for years. Bergevin wasted his good years
Kk is busting hard

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Congrats Gally. You just earned yourself a -5 penalty differential.

 

[mitchmagic]

Someone needs to tell Chiarot he's not Brent Burns. Dude thinks he can join the rush every time he touches the puck.

 

[Jesker]

Very very disappointed with the call.

Here's the positives. 2 points against the Sens out of 4... Basically same results as 1W and 1L. Still bad, but.. we got points... The loser point. Thank god.

After 18 games we have 22 points, 1 less than Winnipeg, 2 less than Edmonton with 2 games in hand, 3 more than Calgary with 1 game in hand... We are exactly where we're supposed to be. Next games are huge. If they find a way to win the next few games they could get away with that bad stretch.

 

[Kriss E]

Lol... I get Danault... I even somewhat get Armia... I do not get Chiarot!

Guy has zero puck skills and zero creativity to his game, all that space amplifies his limitations something fierce.

He's a better skater, and there's a lot of ice to cover. I get it.

There isn't a ton of options on defense. That's why I put Mete on our team over Kulak any day of the week, although that's not what will move the needle.

 

[Cookie007]

Allen plays tonight and we win. Crazy how the defence sucks when price is in nets but when Allen in net we only let 1-2 goals a game. The goalie is the problem!

 

[Hullois]

The guys came out like they wanted Julien fired but then remembered they are hockey players and hate to lose and started playing.

But they came out in a must win game like they wanted Julien fired until Tkachuk woke them up.

They came out like they want Julien fired until Weber did his job as a captain because he had to.

Julien needs to go.

 

[sheed36]

I have a few thoughts about all this losing maybe ending up being a good thing but these thoughts aren't permitted here and I don't want to get in trouble so go Habs go.

 

[zx81]

He was horrible today.

His whole line was trash.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Smoeone should remind them that Eller is still twice the player danault ever will be.

the man once praised by Crosby vs the man praised by MacKinnon. truly a legendary battle of top two-way centers

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Therrien Markov got more out of this team than Clod

Ffs

 

[Hins77]

KK is still one year younger than Tkachuk? I don’t want to hear that excuse anymore. Tkachuk continue to improve as much that KK try to stay on the 3rd line

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Mtl seems destined for the same results.

Suzuki has slowed and struggling
KK struggling, shows flashes
Romanov really struggling
Fleury is an uber driver

Meanwhile Weber and Price are aging out with no replacements
Expensive contracts

This whole so called rebuilding and development while competing hasnt worked for like 8 yrs and seems like it will continue

 

[nhlfan9191]

The most concerning thing for me is the defense and Price. Price has shown no signs of improvement. I'm a big fan of his, but he continues to be a below average goalie this year.

I don’t think it’s concerning. He was god awful tonight. But he’s not this bad. It’s all mental with him and we’ve seen this several times the last 3 years. What is concerning is the rest of the team. There’s just something unsettling with them and I don’t think they’re going to fix anything with Julien as coach.

 

[the]

Let’s go, time to bring back Michou.

 

[Kimota]

That's his strategy right there.

 

[Redux91]

Gallagher's right in the comments

He had time to reset...goalie had time to reset..

Totally jobbed

Really amazed they called this bag...amazed and...not amazed

 

[OnTheRun]

Calm down guys. They will figure it out. Still believe in this team and coach.

That's 2 wins in the last 8 games. Watch them do absolutely nothing relevant and just hope to catch Winterpeg flat footed for the next game.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Someone needs to tell Chiarot he's not Brent Burns. Dude thinks he can join the rush every time he touches the puck.

If I looked like Chiarot I wouldn't want to be like Burns
