Well I hate to say it.. but I think that's it. the way the team has been playing so far in this game I don't see them getting 4 goals to win .. they have been pretty bad in general.. but hey, u never know.. either way it was a great season, a good first round and a good come back attempt ... but you can only do so much .. especially in the MT system and pp.

He's not fine. Is equally as useless as DD. Does not skate, does not forecheck, barely fights for position, has 1 board battle a game.

He is the Habs version of Phil Kessel. Do you want Phil Kessel on this team?

Are you high? MaxPac actually plays defense.

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.

I wish but it ain't happening unfortunately. If both MT and DD are back next season and DD is on the top line and getting top PP minutes again I'll need to step back and watch way less Habs hockey.

Haven't noticed any coaching adjustments during the game.

After 2 clinical wins, back to the non-possession game that yields zero offense.

Worst thing is, there's no chance that Bergevin fires Therrien.

I'm a sad panda.

Why is it disengenious? He got knocked out when we were on the verge of tying the series with Ottawa. And he got knocked out against the Rags. Those aren't losses man.

I'm not confident we win either of those series even with Price in net. We didn't score any goals. We wouldn't score goals because Price is in net. We're not scoring now with our backs against the wall.

Our lack of top 6 firepower is what killed us. You can play the blame game all you want, but the guys on the roster did what they could, we weren't good enough.
Our top six was built by the coach. That's on him. Galchenyuk on the wing and Eller on the 3rd line.

Dumb.

I wont even watch the finals if its Tampa vs Anaheim. Any of these teams will celebrate their stanley cup in the parking lot of a Walmart with a few thousands fans.

Right because TB's "system" has outplayed us every game? You've obviously been sleeping all series.

No system can win you games if your best players are not sharp...Price Subban Pacioretty all having off nights.

Oh Therrien's son comes to his defense. Keep believing what the BS that comes from his mouth.

I ****** lol at the people wanting to trade the whole team. That did us wonder the last time Gainey tried that. It really worked well.

My god ... some people ...

ALL teams have playoffs warriors and season players. Some people say NYR is a cup contender yet Nash really is not better than Patch in playoffs.

What we need to do is improve what we need to improve. First line center. First line center. First line Right Winger.

That should be the focus this summer. Not trading players just for the fun to trade them.

Cant believe Therrien wasted a Hart trophy type season, a 35 goal scorer and a Norris candidate.

Add no youth progressing.

An affirmitive action staff resigned long term.

A short playoffs.

the feeling is raw but hard to be happy with the direction of the franchise

I hope Tampa gets dusted next round

Oh they will. They're not that good at all. It'll make us look even worse that either NYR or WSH finishes them in 5.

The PK killed them in this series, plain and simple. They gave up a lot of goals, a lot.

The PP wasn't really stellar. The PK sucked cuz Tampa knows how to execute a PP. That's what should happen -- you should score. Do you remember the last PP we had? God awful to watch, and nothing to do with Tampa's PK.

There were many more things that lost us the series. Mainly everything, except Price. I feel so bad for him. He really needs to lobby for a coaching change cuz this system is so garbage, it has made a lot of us not even excited to watch the games, nor has it led to the kind of winning needed for a championship.

Forget Pleks having a bad game. Subban has been terrible. Is Pacioretty playing? Do we even have a game plan? Chucky...awful, just awful. But again, just looks like they're being forced to play a system that doesn't suit anybody.

Sidenote: I remember this ever since 2004 -- the tbay fan gimmicks are so lame. Even this year against Det -- the fan signs saying that the red wings were communists and weren't part of real 'murica. WTF?

I'm pretty sure I saw a "bish(op) please" t-shirt, clearly a free handout from the arena. They are going to be rivaling Ottawa for fan obnoxiousness.

ok im making a list of the non-believer scum who won't be allowed to celebrate at 4-3

right now yo

4-3 ftw, we're reenacting the series, letting them take the 3-0 lead then coming back. Just watch it, MT will have the boys ready to play big in the 3rd. :naughty:
