GDT: Habs vs. Bolts part II

[Compile]

What really killed us this series has been special teams. Theirs has worked, ours hasn't.

The PP actually does matter.

I remember 2010 as well.

 

[sampollock]

MB should be asked some ?'s

 

[Gomez91]

I wish we had palat

Why Palat and PAP are the same soft

 

[Habs8517]

Therrien's system is shining brightly today. The players threw his system away to win game 4 and 5 and somehow Therrien says there was no change to the system.

Guy is a moron for believing he made them win those 2 games. No idea why the players decided to revert back to Therrien's system. Maybe they are morons like the rest of the coaching staff.

 

[kassian]

I really hope Therrien's fired in the off-season. I can't stand to watch another 4 years of this boring, dump-and-chase BS with a team that has to rely on their GOAT goalie 4/5 nights. I've never seen a team struggle so much with breakouts and special teams either. Piss poor. Just piss poor.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Ya he's really helped the Ducks

At least he hasn't hurt them like Smith pelly

 

[OldCraig71]

It's amazing that a team that looked so good the last two games can look so lethargic today. Full credit to Tampa for playing way better, but Montreal just looks unengaged. They don't seem to have any jump today. Subban especially looks slower than usual.

It's just an adjustment by Tampa, we did it to them for two games the difference being for us is we have no margin for error being down in the series. It's Tampa responding after two losses and thats how hockey works.

 

[Tyson]

Not really disappointed in Markov because the old man gave it his all. His misuse and excessive minutes should be looked at...

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Our veterans letting us down.

 

[Ezpz]

Actually, it's the first elimination game Price will (?) have lost since 2011.

I mean to be fair that's being disingenuous. Price has been injured every playoffs since then and we didn't make it in 2012.

 

[Whitesnake]

Guys we didn't quit. Tampa just played up to their talent. We are a paper tiger. We desperately lack offense and are wholly dependent on Price. Tampa has played subpar most of this series and have finally started to show why they are simply a better team.

Like I said before, Game 4 was a game EVERYBODY thought we were done. So did TBay. Game 5, we were playing at home, TBay has way more problems away than at home. So tonight was the first game when they actually played thinking it was a game 7. We were like that twice already.

And yep, we have NO offense. Whatsoever. No C's to distribute the puck. No pure skills scorers except Pacioretty.

 

[sampollock]

MT needs to make DD his butler

 

[CupInSIX]

 

[HabsRockBruinsChoke]

I hope this season shows Bergevin that we need long-term quality forwards.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Galchenyuk..... wow.... tradeable for the right price.... before this playoffs I would have said no... now.... not sure.

Stop playing him on the wing and stop forcing him to play a defensive system. Those are the problems.

 

[void]

I won't watch a single game next season if Bergevin only makes a few minor moves during the offseason.

 

[Forum93]

Nobody believes anymore?

The non- believers were singled out for thinking this team wouldn't come back from a 3-0 deficit. Well with a 2% chance of going through to the next round looks like the non-believers were right. Habs flat out suck tonight.

 

[vokiel]

So how about how much Rush sucks?

Rush doesn't suck, shut up!

 

[expy]

Stop playing him on the wing and stop forcing him to play a defensive system. Those are the problems.

Get rid of DD and most of the team's problems will be solved.

And Therrien/PP coach.

 

[nyhabsfan]

Bergevin, if we open training camp with PAP and DD on this team, I hope YOU are gone !

 

[Markov4Captain]

Serious question: Babcock loves MTL, would love the challenge to coach Subban and absolutely admires Carey Price [ see last LeBrun article where he calls him the best players in the game].

MB cannot not consider Babcock. I mean, he can't be that stupid right?

 

[googlymoogly]

What really killed us this series has been special teams. Theirs has worked, ours hasn't.

Very true and just think about MB extending all the assistant coaches contracts. Special teams were horrible, we outplayed Tampa even strength and lost this series because of special teams.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Guess it's time to take a HF break seeing the trade Price galchenyuk etc.

 

[icerocket]

Only 3 less points than the playoff warrior while playing no games. Besides...what kind of reply is this? Okay so we won the "Who sucks more" sweepstakes? Great....if you are satisfied with that. I guess that's the kind of expectations we should have for this team.....sucking less than worst players.....Don't look....but with a more brillant coach, Sekac would still have a place in OUR lineup. Not the Ducks lineup....you know, the team who has reached the 3rd round....

Anyway, we were told to wait in the playoffs. That DSP real value would show there. Haven't I read that?

Yes yes it's all MT's fault that Sekac isn't a Hab and why he hasn't scored a hat trick tonight with the Habs. Booorrriinnggg

People bash DSP and the underlying point is that Sekac would have been some sort of god.

 

[Phenom]

MT, play Galchenyuk at center, put Eller in top 6. Try something you dumb ****ing ass clow stubborn clueless buffoon it's a damn elimination game and you're trailing. What a dumb ****ing buffoon ZOMGGGGGGG
