McGuire was saying yesterday word around the league amongst scouts, is Dobes is very vulnerable to high SOG due to subpar positional awareness - his anticipation in G is viewed as very weak so he reverts to dropping down too fast

I think it's fair to say, every goalie in the league gets beaten up high.......every single one....

Not with a beach ball though..

Looks like the Habs are losing their game in hand.

Still control their own destiny, but no room for error now.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Not feeling very positive.

Every game at this point is supposed to be the biggest game of the season, but our two most recent 1st periods we've looked like a peewee team vs team Canada. We've handed both New York teams an opportunity to overtake us now.

Maybe if they ride Monty even harder he will suddenly handle shots from distance.

Thursday is the only "gimme" game this week. But after toronto embarrassed them torts will have them ready. Stlouis better have mtl ready to start the game.

LOL!!

Did you see the 3rd one on Monty tonight?? lol

I think it might be time to let Monty take a game off, and either Dobes or Primo try to get us a W.

 

[Miller Time]

Let down game after the emotional rush of Saturday night...

Happens.

Nice thing is that sens lost, red wings are losing... just need Rangers to lose on the road against the hot Kings.

How they bounce back Thursday will be huge as far as setting tone for the stretch. Can't afford to go on a long losing streak this time of year.

I've never seen a goalie struggle so much with wrist shots from above the hashmarks. It's so bad.

Looking at the teams in playoffs spots or close to them, they all have fewer goals against then the Habs. Don't understand why Montembault is played until he struggles. He plays much better when he's rested, which is pretty much the same for most goaltenders, especially one playing behind a young d corps. If they believe in Dobes they should play him, if not give Primeau a shot as well as he's played since being sent down (maybe not a coincidence he's found his game getting to play more).

If they are serious about making the playoffs this season or going forward and making some noise when they get there would be wise to have two goaltenders they have confidence in sharing the load in my opinion.

Still in control of our own destiny.

 

[Jabba11]

We lost our cushion. But still in the lead. Just need to start winning again. Starts with the Flyers.

 

[Andrei79]

This game was a pretty good example of why it would have been fine to send Dobes. You're not going to win every game, but you're giving yourself a batter chance if you rest your number 1.

Rangers actually score 1st. J.T. Miller.

1-0 NYR over LAK, early 2nd period.

 

[bleuetbio]

Sometimes, just give all the credit to the other. Blues are red hot since two weeks and we are just another casualty

 

[Rapala]

LOL Listening to l'Antichambre they said the Rangers had 2 shots after one against LA.
Unfortunately they are now up 1-0. A win knocks us off our pedestal and with Anaheim and San Jose on their dance card all of a sudden wins are worth more than games in hand.

It's just one goal, although Rangers are now out shooting Kings 8-3 in 2nd period.

15-3-3 in their last 21 games... Hottest team in the league since start of February

 

[MarkovsKnee]

1-1. Kings get a PPG. 7 minutes left in 2nd.

 

[rik schau]

Well, do they identify as a team that wants to make the playoffs or do they identify as a team that doesn't want to make the playoffs?lol

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

It was a bad game. Every team is owed one once in a while. But they have to stop playing Monty like he's 2011 Price. Dobes should've started vs Colorado. He should start vs the flyers. And he should start vs one of the canes or Panthers. Guhle should take mathesons spot and Matheson needs to take either xhekaj or Savard spot. That pairing (mostly due to Savard) is brutal. Next sit Armis for a game or two, he's obviously hurting. Start preparing for the games better

 

[red devil]

Kings take the lead in the 2nd with 2 minutes to go

 

[TRG]

Danault, forever a Canadiens hero

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Danault comes through for Montreal!

 

[red devil]

Kings win 3-1 over the Rangers
