GDT: Tampa vs. Montreal Game 2 Part II

[Couchcoach]

Babcock and then add Robinson for d coach, no French no problem diligaf........ Hire a translator

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

It's looking more and more like overtime.

Post of the year

 

[Lebowski]

At this point the best we can hope is avoiding a sweep lol

We'll win one away game. Win game 5 in Montréal. Eventually lose in 6.

They have the far better team. Is anyone surprised by this turn of event, really? Our only advantage is in goal, but the fact Bishop turns into Hasek's reincarnation when he plays against us kinda nullifies our one and only edge.

 

[hockeyfan2k11]

Guy Boucher is overrated. I wouldn't object to him but this 'modern day coach' hasn't gotten another job in north America in years. He's good but he's not great.

Neither did MT.

It's kind of annoying that all these fans of teams that aren't even in the playoffs anymore are mocking Montreal.

We have a playoff banter thread where we're instructed to act like jackasses. We shouldn't complain when it adds fuel to the montreal hate fire.

 

[WeThreeKings]

lol...is would be 10-1.... these are kids who would get eaten up and kill their confidence..... dear lord do we overrate our prospects around here.

Great. Does it matter?

 

[Redux91]

ive already stopped watching, and i already know tampa is going to score a couple more

 

[Andy]

No, some people think we have great talent up front.

3 players with 20 +Goals. 1 with 30+ goals. 6 players with 40+ points.

 

[Masuli]

No Vanek, no Gionta (who for some reason people did no appreciate) no Briere (Playoff beast) and no Bourque (who played well in the playoffs).

They are all gone and were replaced with PAP and a bunch of grinders.

Vanek was as bad as he is in Minnesota now, Briere was scratch in Avs most of the season, Gionta is nothing but a smaller version of Flynn or Mitchell. It's not the personel on the ice. In 12-13 we had Armstrong playing...

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Neither did MT.

Yes, but we're complaining about MT. So...

 

[Mathradio]

Why can't we hire Babcock? he wants to coach a contender team, which we are.

And he'll instantly become the most expensive coach in NHL history, were he to coach the Habs... it would cost us $10M+ per easily.

 

[Phil Parent]

Well, hello guys, you're a cheery bunch tonight.

All Desharnais' fault, right? :-p

 

[nyhabsfan]

When was the last time the Habs had a big centerman that could score ? It's been decades .

exactly.... how many team can you name with a worse #1 and #2 centerman in the league...and how many years has this been going on.

 

[Zorro]

Watch the game, how is Price suppose to save those quick cross crease shots. We haven't tested Boshop close to the same amount Tampa has with Price.

You're fooling yourself bud.

The Stamkos goal and 1st goal is where he needed to show up...bishop has stoned us on all our breakaways

 

[AnotherHabsFan]

This is the easiest series the lightning will face. Kinda sad. Thought we were better. Would rather us not be in the playoffs than watching this crap. All it means is we get a later draft pick.

 

[Andy]

Need an early one here.

Vanek was as bad as he is in Minnesota now, Briere was scratch in Avs most of the season, Gionta is nothing but a smaller version of Flynn or Mitchell. It's not the personel on the ice. In 12-13 we had Armstrong playing...

I'm talking about the difference between last year and this year. NO ONE can score now. NO ONE.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Ya? And on the first one? They didn't call anything on Patches, or Strawlman. Guess what, they also didn't call penalties after every post whistle scrum. Callahan and PK have been going at it since Game 1. Callahan rushes the net aggressively through the Ds when Price has the puck. Every single time a player does that the Dmen will react to it. It happens all the time. But fine, if you want to give him that.
The one on Gilbert was terrible. I mean come on, Johnson dropped like a little *****.

And on Petry, didn't Morrow do the same interference on DSP earlier with no call?


I don't think I have to give you examples of how inconsistent and terrible refs are in hockey. You know it. They've been very bad tonight. They don't put the puck in our net though, but they've killed the game tonight.

I was talking about the Subban penalty because I saw you claim it wasn't a penalty.

If the refs told both team to be careful with the scuffle after the whistle, be smart, don't crosscheck a guy while he's on his knees.

Gilbert's penalty was borderline. I won't argue with that.

I'm sure they could afford him

 

[OldCraig71]

Habs have this, OT is coming, Mitchell with the winner.

If you're going to be the league villains, gotta live with everything that comes with it. It is what it is.

Babock speaks Francais.

 

[punk255]

Therrien's system has slowly taken away the creativity of all our players.

What you see right now is a team that struggles to generate prime scoring chances and tries to score from sharp angles and perimeter shots.

Agreed
That what happen when you drill to much defensif minding on players
Habs players dont know anymore how to score

 

[OneSharpMarble]

I can't believe we have Desharnais for 2 more years and Lacroix for like 4 more ****ing years. How is it possible to be so awful at your job but be the first in line for a extension? I don't understand this team.

 

[Nashy]

Babock speaks Francais.

and so does Robinson....make it so number 1.
