So... Pateryn,4th and Beaulieu for Benn and a 3rd. MB's a genius.

Is that how it went down??

 

[The Great Weal]

Yeah, sure.

It's hard not to see his mistakes when he ****s up every time he's on the ice.

His play is indefensible.

Then what do you call Beaulieu who is far worse than Benn defensively?

 

[Habs]

SHAWWWWZIEEEEEE! PLEASE GET US MORE GUYS LIKE SHAWZZIIIEIEIEIE

 

[Whitesnake]

Not just a worse older guy......a waaaaay worse older guy. Not even a quarter as good as Markov.

And the funny part is some posters saying how Bergevin was "right" to not sign Markov and yet...it was all good to sign Streit. lolll There are so many comedians on this board.

 

[groovejuice]

So damn stupid to get Streit. Makes no sense.

Get rid of an old guy, then just find another old guy

Streit can't shine Markov's shoes. Not a very apt comparison.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Can someone explain to me why Julien has 5 years left on his contract? People say he is smart because compared to Therrien, everybody sounds smart.

Julien got lucky one year in Boston where everybody had career year, was in their prime and Tim Thomas.

 

[De Montreal]

I can totally see us scratching Mete in favour of Joe Morrow tomorrow

 

[WeThreeKings]

Then what do you call Beaulieu who is far worse than Benn defensively?

Uh. He's not.. and he is better in the offensive portion of the game.

And it's irrelevant? Benn sucks. Beaulieu isn't here anymore.

Babcock wouldnt even make a difference with this lineup.

You don't think the 5 year to Bergevin is a bigger problem?

 

[Tyson]

Jerabek with 2 assists tonight

 

[jaffy27]

I'd keep that D together. Didn't think it was possible to tank with Price in net but Bergy may have done it.

After game 2....

 

[Adam Michaels]

Sad reality MB has created, where a Saturday night is better spent watching the ahl then the mess he’s put together

For tonight, it's sad. But Laval came back from being down 2-0 and are winning 3-2 now. Very exciting so I'm happy despite Montreal's poor showing.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Looks like we are not winning the October cup.....what a shame

We won’t be winning the June one either with the garbage defense we’re icing. Cap Space needs to step up soon he’s been invisible so far.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Game two of the year. Still along way to go guys, but there is concern for the defense though. Not a lot of good movement of the puck or mobility in the two games.

I expect Jerabek, Mete, Benn, Petry, Alzner, Weber for next game.

A concern?? Understatement of the year. It's panic time for me already with this defence. We'll be out of the playoffs by Christmas unless something pretty significant happens.

 

[Rapala]

Just No...

He is better offensively though. Defensively there's not much difference imo. They both ****.

Yeah Beaulieu was so terrible the other night.
Benn will show this year why Dallas that defensive juggernaught let him go.

 

[habsterr]

CJ has some good strategies and isn't a complete fool like Therrien. Plus we can only hire french coaches and he was the best available at the time.

 

[LaP]

If we are not playing Mete in the top 4 we must call Jerabek up and try him.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Just No...


Yeah Beaulieu was so terrible the other night.
Benn will show this year why Dallas that defensive juggernaught let him go.

I thought Benn made that clear himself when April rolled around last season.

 

[sandysan]

Geez niskanen with a pretty severe helmet burn

 

[No More Subban]

I know that.

Not comparing the two. But how do you explain the moment we lost Markov, MB signed Streit right away?

He didnt have to do that.

 

[Tyson]

Laval down 2-and scored 3 goals. They are outshooting Belleville 34-18

 

[Mathletic]

After game 2....

It's not just early season panic for no reason. The team is put wrong plain and simple. A slow D that can't pass nor skate. Add to that a lackluster offense. This team is going nowhere. Ok big deal, maybe they turn things around by beating on Buffalo and Vegas and we make the playoffs. However, Habs stand no chance against decent teams. We're seeing it tonight. It's not just chemistry it's the wrong set of skills all put together on one team.

 

[LeHab]

We can enjoy the Ovie show.

 

[The Great Weal]

Uh. He's not.. and he is better in the offensive portion of the game.

And it's irrelevant? Benn sucks. Beaulieu isn't here anymore.

You say that Benn looked good before he turned into a pumpkin. I'm saying that Beaulieu has always been a pumpkin and looks good once a blue moon. If it's irrelevant than why do you keep saying lol Bergevin protected Benn over Beaulieu?
