Note: this downtrend was entirely predicted and braced-for by many of the more savvy hockey writers. Unfortunately, even Arpon Basu has joined the lame side and has become increasingly, offensively anti-rational.

I'm counting the days till Therrien is fired - February, one would hope.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Blame Price on a cross ice pass? Wut.

In no league should that pass make it through when someone named Bickell is making it.

 

[kassian]

Somebody shall get smashed in the 'ead for dem poor starts eh.

 

[Nicko999]

We are not playing that bad. Price had to make that stop though.

 

[JayKing]

Our defense is scary

Our offense is scarier.

 

[OldCraig71]

We have 8 1st period goals while Pittsburgh has 33?!!? That's insane[/QU


CAREY PRICE IS THE REASON FOR OUR RECORD. Caps are used for the shouting of my opinion!!!

 

[CHarlie]

I am so tired of going on NHL.com to check the score in the first 5min of the game only to see us down 1-0 again.................WTF.

 

[Vi Nc E x13x]

We need more production from the backend ... besides Subban/markov the rest of the d are pretty brutal in offensive zone.

 

[kassian]

Ovie has more 1st period goals than this entire team.

When you look at the stats it's pretty amazing the Habs are where they are in the standings. It will all come crashing down really fast if they keep playing like this.

It's going to get reaaally messy.There are a lot of problems that aren't easy fixes...

This.

It should never have gotten through two defenders like that.

 

[Markov4Captain]

Price is expected to stop cross-crease passes, stop the puck, score goals, fix the PP, make us contenders...HE HAS TO DO EVERYTHING OR HE SUCKS.

 

[Habssince89]

were in the low % zones too often. We need some tape to tape passing...

 

[Habssince89]

Ovie has more 1st period goals than this entire team.

Then we better hope for the loses to pile up. I doubt Therrien gets fired if we're still flirting with a top three spot in the East.

 

[Saintpatrick*]

What I wouldn't give to have Quenneville as our coach

 

[Kriss E]

Our leading scorer plays with Dale Weise and David Desharnais. Fact.

Martin used to do this too, but he had half his top 6 injured. Therrien does it because he thinks it's a good idea.

 

[Habsawce]

This team is going to take a swan dive in the standings. I'm really not looking forward to it.

 

[JayKing]

1st period goals:
Hawks: 30 ( now 31)
Habs: 8

 

[Tabarouette]

Then we better hope for the loses to pile up. I doubt Therrien gets fired if we're still flirting with a top three spot in the East.

unless we lose like 10 more in a row he's not getting fired, like it or not

 

[Hoople]

Its a flippin shame watching the BlackHawks offensive setup and execution compared to the Habs approach and execution.

Sure, talent makes a difference. However, the vast difference between the two teams offensive philosophies is very evident. They attack the net, we cycle around the net. Attack the net vs perimeter.

We need a new coach. Badly.

February so Bergevin can relive the story the Penguins wrote when they fired Therrien in February the year they did and end it with winning the cup.

Honestly, I'm sick of these slow starts. We had a crazy amount of luck to keep coming back early on, but luck isn't always going to be there.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Offensive zone face off, sends out second line with Gilbert-Weaver.

That's intelligent.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Brandon Prust is exactly the guy I want on a breakaway if I'm a goalie.

 

[dkd]

Prust that was weak.
