GDT: Montréal Canadiens vs. Chicago Blackhawks Dec 5th @ 20:30 EST RDS,SNE,CSN-CH, TSN 690

[Runner77]

At least we managed a breakaway ...

 

[JohnLennon]

We are 30th in the league in first period goals. I'm no Einstein but maybe and just maybe this means that our players are not ready for games? Who's responsibility is that?

Not that I'm defending him, but how exactly is this Therrien's fault? Do you want him to give them a pep talk? Pat their butts before going out onto the ice? They're not even playing that poorly this period.

 

[MontrealCanadiens*]

I think Prust was aiming for the goalie.

 

[dkd]

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

To make you look good eh? LOL

Beggars can't be choosers

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

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

I think if we actually fall out of the playoffs or are in a wildcard spot, Therrien could get canned. That would be a Leaf-esque freefall.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

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

#facts

That's crazy.

 

[Deebs]

We might be down, but at least we're skating and in the game with these guys.

 

[Wats]

These days getting out of 1st period tied feels like a success.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Yes Prusty had a breakaway but chicagos top line is on the ice and MTL counters with their fourth.

It's not a high likelihood of success there

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

We might be down, but at least we're skating and in the game with these guys.

Skating means nothing if they can't ****ing score.

I don't see that happening though, i'm sure we'll get back on track soon

 

[Habs8517]

I don't know why you guys are surprised that the Habs suck in the first period. It is crystal clear that this team has given up on our moronic coaching staff.

This is like when you work and you have a crappy supervisor, you do the minimum to keep your job. You don't go the extra mile since that crappy supervisor will get all the credit.

Same thing the Habs players are doing, minimum work, just give a little extra effort in the second and third period to keep their place in the lineup. The players are patient, they know they will outlast Therrien. Besides, they have guaranteed contracts, no need to rush.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Thank you, post.

 

[Tyson]

Habs are competing which is more than they did on Wednesday

 

[Runner77]

LOL, Hawks almost had another one in.

 

[ROSSter]

4Th line is looking terrible tonight.

 

[sandysan]

God that was awful defense

 

[Deluded Puck]

1st line cheat so frigging much in our zone.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I think if we actually fall out of the playoffs or are in a wildcard spot, Therrien could get canned. That would be a Leaf-esque freefall.

That's the horrible problem... if you want MT to be replaced you have to hope for a good team to start to lose.

We're well beyond the rebuilding years, this team should be contending now. Instead we play like crap and rely on our goalie to save us. Sooner or later though it catches up. If not in the regular season then in the playoffs...

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Freaking abysmal defensively.

Emelin and Gonchar checking no one.

DD? Weise?

 

[Krnage]

its gonna be a long night for carey tonight :

 

[Tyson]

Emelin/Gonchar is a scary duo.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

I got caught by Plekanec's early start again. Thought that Galchenyuk+Easier starts would make him produce more but he's having a typical Plekanec season. Offense all but dried up.

 

[sandysan]

its gonna be a long night for carey tonight :

Don't worry he's used to it.
