To be fair. Murray has actually played solid this season. He read the play better than Gorges, but couldn't do anything. The problem is Therrien thinks Murray is a top four guy. On the bottom pairing, Murray is fine. Well, so long as he's not paired with ******* Bouillon.

I agree , Murray has been pretty solid. I like the Diaz-Murray pairing as our 5-6

We don't have any of the thing you just said.

Our pp sucks and they haven't tried to change it at all..

How does a PP suck while being #7 in the league? What would be the term if we'd be 25th?

He doesn't have powerplay lines. In order for him to change who works on the powerplay, he would have to change the actual 5 on 5 lines as well, and since that would be considered an "in-game adjustment", expecting that from Therrien would be absurd. In-game adjustments are just to much for Therriens mind to even begin to process.

Certainly seems that way.

Bouillon-Gorges on the PP, I can't believe it. Those two, especially Bouillon who had plenty on PP time this season and last year, NEVER EVER worked on the PP. Why the **** would you put them TOGETHER? Emelin might not be better than those guys but at the very very, very least try him. There's 100% chance that he won't do worse since they do absolutely nothing. And at least he's got a good shot. For christ's sake, I can't believe that the whole staff, which consist of 5-6 persons that have been in the game their whole life, can't figure this out. It's pathetic.

I understand that there's a whole lot of stuff that those guys do that I couldn't, they are professionnals and I'm just a fan, I totally know that, but it seems so basic... The fact that they can't see that those guys suck and that their might be a better option that is, at the very least, worth trying is completely mind boggling.

Sorry to disagree but Murray is a pylon who doesn't belong in the NHL. Before this game he has a 1:15 ratio.

OI for: 1

OI against: 15

between our mediocrity year after year and canada not showing up for half a decade, the flame that is my love for hockey is really starting to burn out....it's depressing because it's a noticeable absence from everyday life....hockey has always been such a pivitol part of my happiness....sochi is gonna make or break me. that much is certain.

I hear ya, but I'm just not feeling Canada at these Olympics....big ice, time change and the Russians most likely getting favourable calls, it all adds up to heartbreak.

Most frustrating thing is that I was watching this whole period instead of the Indy-Chiefs game....:shakehead

Indy's made an impressive comeback. Thought the Chiefs were going to walk away with it after the 38-10 lead, but like the Habs, Chiefs are self-destructing.

Ok guys we need better support in the offensive zone and defensive zone. More intensity. We ******* need support.

It was top 2 at one point, was it not ? It's been sliding further and further down because all they do is work it to the point.

Honestly, Gorges sucks. I've thought this ever since last season, and just wouldn't say anything because I know a lot of you value him and believe he is a good player, but man... he is brutal. I used to actually really like him and was one of the people who wanted him as our next captain, but over these past two years I've really noticed that he really isn't all that good. Honestly, If the habs traded him I don't think I would even care. I'd just see it on TSN and say "Okay, did we get anything half decent in return? No? Oh well then".

What will it take for Bergevin to cut Bouillon's sorry ass and call up Pateryn? Then how about turfing Bourque or Gionta (unlikely both get dropped) and calling up Leblanc? He's fooled by this team's record which IMO is a product of Price. Look at how he bails out this **** defense and poor offense. And when he's average like lately? We look baaad. Oh well Leblanc and Pateryn would just get the Bournival/Tinordi treatment from MT. This team is STILL so scared of giving its kids the chances. How do you expect them to grow?

Galchenyuk you spend a #3 pick on but disrespect him cause of hsi D woes but why does that including cutting his PP time? Toe Blake gave Yvan Cournoyer a lot of that when he was struggling in his effort in both zones. I guess Therrien thinks Galchenyuk's defensive issues will only improve if he cuts his offensive opportunities too. The dolt :help: We'd have drafted all the Oiler guys then watched Therrien put Yakupov, Hall and Eberle on 3rd line duty so Gionta and Desharnais can be on the PP. Cursed with ****** coaching since the moment Demers got fired. Even the good ones- Vigneault, Julien- do their best work outside Montreal for whatever reason :shakehead
