Post-Game Talk: Habs lose two straight to Ottawa

[Lafleurs Guy]

Yeah this loss isn't on Price, he had a lot of great saves and we were outplayed for 40 minutes.

As I said earlier, if we'd won 4-3, I'd absolutely have called it a steal. But when you give up a softie to make it 4-4 in the 3rd, that's on you. So you could say we never should've been in it to begin with, but at that point it was ours to lose. So... he certainly deserves his share of the blame there. Just can't do that.

 

[The Great Weal]

Engels is such an ass kisser. And Gallagher should be more pissed off about the teams performance rather than the call.

 

[Supersonic]

Haven't you formed some kind of tolerance over the years?

I imagine that if you eat shit every day, at some point you just get jaded and used to it?

Sure, it might be harder in the case of tolerating Bergevin, still...

This is a refined sort of masochism

Yes I am used to it but it still hurts

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Just remember boys. That was no goal.

But this is a good goal

That one was a worse call than tonight's was.

 

[Walksss]

Stutzle had just beating him on the five hole. It was a good strategy by Norris.

Are you paid by Price to defend him like this? It was a good strategy by Norris to shoot high? When the goalie is basically on his knees nervous as hell? Damn my 6 year old is a strategic prodigy then he lifts it every time.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Every coach has their best before date. Julien I think has reached his. It's time to move on from him.

I just hope to God we don't hire back Therrien again.

As much as Gallant is a favorite, I don't want him either. Just another recycled coach.

I'd go with Bouchard before anyone else. Or, even a Euro coach.

 

[expy]

Agreed that the Habs shouldn't have been in that position.

But the comment was that he "got spun around." That suggest Gallagher was the one who spun him, when it was a simple touch. And even after Murray does his spin-o-rama, he had time to set himself up. The guy was standing when the shot was taken.

I explained it so that you saw that Murray’s best shot at getting back into position was to complete the spin. Sure it was only initiated by Gallagher, and it wasn’t malicious in intent, but it doesn’t have to be, it’s incidental.

 

[Doc McKenna]

How is this not a good goal?

If you look closely Murray is doing the spinorama by himself...

And aince the moron refa didnt whistle it dead, shouldnt the danault goal have counted, deapite everyone looking around.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Yeah, everything I've heard about Bouchard is positive. Get some new blood.

The contact is at about the 7 second mark. The puck crosses the line at around the 2 second mark. 5 full seconds to reset.

After Murray spun himself around he stayed on his knees looking forward trying to find the puck. Murray not having time to reset is complete BS.

It's ridiculous how when the NHL situation room and NHL DoPS have to make decisions everyone says it's 50/50 on how these calls will go and somehow the NHL manages to get it wrong 95% of the time.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Just remember boys. That was no goal.

But this is a good goal

This league was, is and will always be a joke

 

[OldCraig71]

There’s no chance in hell we’re going back to Therrien. Zero.

I think that it will be given to Ducharme on an interim basis.

 

[Supersonic]

LMAO Bergevin shoulda ran to Pittsburgh when he had the chance

 

[expy]

And aince the moron refa didnt whistle it dead, shouldnt the danault goal have counted, deapite everyone looking around.

The review was initiated by the War Room.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

The contact is at about the 7 second mark. The puck crosses the line at around the 2 second mark. 5 full seconds to reset.

From the 5 seconds mark to the 2 seconds mark, he made no attempt to position himself. A full 3 seconds of doing nothing.

I would've been way more frustrated if they deserve the win but they sucked, so I don't really care.

 

[The Great Weal]

As much as Gallant is a favorite, I don't want him either. Just another recycled coach.

I'd go with Bouchard before anyone else. Or, even a Euro coach.

I don't know if Bouchard should be an NHL coach yet. The AHL team hasn't really done anything with him. Ducharme would be my first choice and then reevaluate in the offseason.

 

[A Loyal Demidog]

Some Leaf fans are really going hard at us in the main boards. Can it be playoff season already? I’m dying to see them lose again in the first round of playoffs (54 years and counting).

 

[1909]

Hard one to swallow. They came from behind, had the lead. Score a refused goal.

Looks more and more like last year's two eight games winningless stretches.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

And aince the moron refa didnt whistle it dead, shouldnt the danault goal have counted, deapite everyone looking around.

Play stops dead once the puck enters net, so Danault's goal doesn't exist.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And aince the moron refa didnt whistle it dead, shouldnt the danault goal have counted, deapite everyone looking around.

The Danault goal wouldn't have counted because the puck crossed the line before with the Gallagher deflection. So anything after that wouldn't have counted anyways.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

LMAO Bergevin shoulda ran to Pittsburgh when he had the chance

Huh?

 

[expy]

And aince the moron refa didnt whistle it dead, shouldnt the danault goal have counted, deapite everyone looking around.

And also, the puck entered the net so the play was dead, and Danault’s shot isn’t even recorded.

 

[Doc McKenna]

The review was initiated by the War Room.

That makes it even worse. My god this league is corrupt.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Just saw the highlites including the disallowed goal.

Made me laugh hard. I mean you laugh after a joke and this league is a joke.

Wonder how many geniuses in TO looked at that replay and how hard they looked at it to come up with that decision.

Either they don't know the rules, have no common sense or are simply biased against Montreal.

Gally was laughing as well at the decision. What else can you do?

 

[Supersonic]

Huh?

just a joke that when they were looking for front office staff before they hired Burke he should have inquired
