PP outage and lack of discipline probably cost us the season, Prust and PK's selfish penalties sucked the life out of us in the 1st and went downhill from there especially now that we gave the Bolts some confidence on their PP
They weren't selfish penalties. It's like some of you are watching hockey for the first time and I know it's not the case.
Prust penalty: According to him, as he was skating to the bench he told the ref that the call was soft, which it was, and then the ref chewed him up. Prust didn't respond and just said ''ya okay'' repeatedly. Apparently the ref didn't like this nonchalance from Prust so he gave him that extra 2. I mean really, we've all seen players go absolutely nuts after calls, slash their sticks, slam the doors, go berserk in penalty bench, and they don't get extra 2. But now that Watson decided to give an extra 2 on something nobody could even see, it's suddenly Prust being selfish and undisciplined? Please. BS Call.
PK penalty: Routine little crosscheck that every player gets in the POs when they rush the net hard as Callahan did. Sure, PK could have let down a bit. The refs also can stop being inconsistent and randomly pick when they decide to call a penalty. That might help players. They just gave a 4 min PP to TB, usually the Refs would let that go.
Gilbert penalty: Johnson tries to cut in front of the net, Gilbert sticks his arms out and crosschecks him. Routine play that you see almost every time players are attacking the net. ¸
Petry penalty: Morrow did the same thing earlier in the game. He hit DSP who wasn't looking and didn't have the puck, which caused him to fall down. No call.
But hey, let's call this one. Sure.
Mitchell penalty: Bishop is out of his crease, and if you look at the overhead replay, you can even see him moves towards Mitchell after he made the stop. No doubt in my mind he was fishing for a call. It's not like Mitchell just tried to hit Bishop. He was rushing to the net, Bishop came out of his crease.
The Habs were not any more undisciplined than usual. Sure, maybe at the end they kind of lost it with Prust going after Bishop. That said, I commented earlier in the game how Bishop always creates interference when he gets out of his net. He was doing it all game. Goes out to play the puck and blocks the lane after, he even tried to sell an interference earlier in the game where he clearly embellished and seemed to have gotten a warning for it. So I don't mind. He lost it after when he threw his elbow pad, and Weise getting the game, which, again, debatable but at 5-2, I get it.
It was 1-1 after the first period. I don't care how annoying the PK penalty is. The game is not over. Isn't Therrien this great motivating coach?? So what gives? His speech after the 1st period wasn't motivating enough?? We come out flat in the 2nd. Why is that? Oh right it's that penalty PK took over 20 minutes ago..
Then, we have back to back PPs, that goes nowhere yet again. Ya ya, our PP suck, nothing new here. So let's brush it aside because we're used to it, the real issue is the penalty PK took about 30 min ago!!!
And of course, that's all Therrien had to say right. It's the lack of discipline. When asked about the PP, can you guess what he said, the players didn't execute. Right. It's been two freaking years that they're not executing his terrible strategies. Oh no wait, when the PP does look better even without scoring, like the previous game, it's the players following the game plan.
This guy has no answer whatsoever to why we are scoring at the same pace the god damn Sabres scored at this year. But ya, sure, the problem is the discipline, not this putrid scoring.
Otherwise I think the Habs and their pathetic offense and PP are done unfortunately.
