Post-Game Talk: Murphy's Law kicks in. Habs lose 8-2 to Ducks

[nhlfan9191]

The golden boy got a boo boo that year.

A big player running his leg into a post is a “boo boo.” Halak was a fluke, five teams after us saw it. Stop crying over that.

You just have to accept it. Our fanbase loves to chase goalies every chance they get. I imagine it’s like a high for them.

It's pretty sad. It's those same fans who booed Roy against the RedWings that cried about the trade.. seems like they don't learn from their mistakes.

Like I said, Halak has never shown he can be a starting goalie in the league. On multiple teams. They all gave up on him.

Halaks better when it matters though.

There’s nothing any fan can do. That’s what sucks so much about it. It makes a sane person want to scream.

I'm not crying over it. I'm just sick of price constantly **itting the bed and watching as everyone gives him a pass. Do me a favour and watch the sports highlights from last night. Then go back and watch the highlights from last Saturday against pittsburgh....then the last time we played the leafs. That my friend is the true Carey price.

Then why he couldn't get it done with the Blues or the Isles?
Or how the hell super clutch goalie manage to get less playoffs wins than Carey McChoke?

There were deflections coming from areas I rarely seen a peewee team give up. If you’re trying to somehow make last night about Price, I will laugh historically at you. The team was attrocious.

I missed the GDT tonight. And I guess you can say a few players deserve getting crap. Price isn’t one. But the team has overachieved for the most part so I have a hard time ripping on most of them outside a few and even management. We’re still transitioning after Bergevin destroyed the previous core a few seasons ago and every time I looked at the schedule, I knew this stretch was going to kill us so I guess I was just prepared for the drop off.

keep that bar low buddy

Point is they stunk....that is never justified by some over achieving through the regular season

31st place team without Pricer.

In a fast-moving league, the team has to move on quickly to the next one.

The Habs are not 100% awful, but they've also shown they cannot win the big games.

Lots of players with career years, though. So there's that.

It will be a 1st round exit, or a miniscule percentage draft lottery.

At least the promising prospect pool is there...

This Habs team is running out of gas. It just happening later than I was expected. The guys battled hard most of the time so far this season, but their resources have limits. In this trip, they hit the wall, but it could be forecasted back to those games vs the Leafs. Losing in OT in one, and allowing six goals after having taken the lead 3-0. The loss in NJ was bad too. Very bad for the "mental" ! They played a very solid road game in San Jose.... but their backup goalie let them dry.

Now, it would take almost a miracle to save them. Unless Columbus keep sucking hard. Philly is not far behind and can catch the Habs too.

If I am really positively surprised by their overall performances this season, I am disappointed by some individual players that could had made the "difference" if they would had provided more consistency in their game. You know them (him) as well.

In his last 4 full seasons Julien’s teams have not made playoffs 3/4 times. If we don’t this year it’s 4/4.

Babcock has on one round in 8 years.

Julien is a good coach. He has a lottery team with a great goalie.

I could honestly care less about Price. He wasn’t good, but the game around him was embarrassing. Yet people use the easy scapegoat to blame the goalie. That’s what I can’t stand about this fanbase. It got to Roy and Dryden. And it’s what makes Price staying here impressive.

If Montreal misses the playoffs for the 3rd time in 4 years there is no justification to bring back that clown Bergevin.

I'm impressed by Price period. But I would have been just as or more impressed if he has pulled a Tavares and split in pursuit of a championship.

 

[MasterDecoy]

I quit with a few minutes left at 5-2, how’d it get to 8?

Shoulda sent anti instead

As Boone said on Thursday "the habs could lose every game the rest of the way and this season would still be a huge success"

Thats how low the bar in Montreal is these days. MB will bet there for year to come.

Why ? The team had made lots of progress in the lst year and the prospects cupboard is looking better than in the last ten seasons.

He should have. Bergevin was to stubborn to do it. He offered a once in a lifetime contract. No rational person would’ve turned that down in his situation.

I know. He kept Carey to keep his job. If not for Price MB would have ceased being a GM in this league atleast 3 years ago.

The face of a Captain whose team is struggling on this long season....

 

[Sword]

Habs only beat the Pens in 2010 because of Fleury, he sucked ass in that series, he allowed a bunch of softies in game 7.

Didn't NHL players just pick Price as the goalie they want to start a game 7?

NHL players say Carey Price still the most clutch goalie in the game

 

[PaulD]

Another day at the office for price. I've been saying for years how much I believe this guy is a complete overrated fraud. His "days at the office" only get worse come playoff time.

Let's face it...besides his Olympic success he hasn't won anything....and a pee wee goalie could have won gold for Canada that year.

Allowing 8 goals in a must win game against one of the worst teams in the league is inexcusable. He's also put down similar efforts against Toronto and Pittsburgh. Can we buy this clown out already?

One of the best habs goalies of all time....hell no. One of the best goalies of all time...hell no. One of the best goalies this year....hell no. A mediocre overpaid goalie who was handed everything since he was 18....sums it up for me.

Won Gold the World Junior Championships
Won the AHL Calder Cup and MVP of the play offs
Won Gold Medal Team Canada
Won World Cup Teams Canada
Won all the hardware he could possibly win in 2015 as the best player in the world.

Only place he has not won a Championship is in Montreal.

I like Brendan Gallagher . But show me a team where he is your best forward and ill show you loser team.

Price is a problem though.

1. He is the only reason the habs have had zero first over all picks.
2. He keeps Bergevin employed as the GM.

Its too bad for Habs fans and for Carey himself that he is not a Jet, or Canuck, or Oiler. He should have pulled a Johnny T .
