GDT: Winnipeg @ Montreal - Feb 18th 2017 - 2:00 PM - CBC, SN, TVAS, TSN690

[M.C.G. 31]

Weber again joining the rush. It's beautiful.

 

[Mrb1p]

Price giving a lot of potatoes in the slot, lucky it didnt translate to goals.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Not to believe in conspiracy theories but it might be possible Price was sandbagging his play just to get rid of Therrien


Now the rest of team needs to wake up

I haven't seen Price play like that in 3 months.

 

[lou4gehrig]

I don't even know what to say if you really believe that's what he did.

Don't be naive. I didn't say he shot the puck into his own net. But even if he was playing 1% less than his maximum effort because he was annoyed with MT, then it's the same exact thing. It's human nature to care less when you're not respected. I guess you must be in the 0.001% of the population who gives 110% in all situations, no matter what.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Wow our team is mess defensively !

CJ need times to correct that.

 

[Drew4u]

Team is still bad in the defensive zone. Really need another defencemen

 

[Smokey Thompson]

First line out to finish the 1st period

Weber with stone hands and stone feet can't do much in the offensive zone

 

[NobleSix]

lmao, come on guys. Ya'll act like Subban has been any good this season.

As much as you dislike Weber, he has been the better player this season and its not really close right now.

 

[MTL-rules]

It's only the 1st, but man does it look like Price said "**** off, Therrien you're done", cause this ain't the CP we saw the last month.

 

[Toene]

He's playing better than Subban.

NSH would have to add to get Weber back at this point lmao.

Subban + Fiala for Webz?

 

[Whitesnake]

Well somewhat tentative....a little too be expected. This team is in serious need of confidence. Let's hope Julien build that. And let's hope Price helps building that too.

Oh and hopefully the end of Nesterov happens sooner than later. We will see around here if people will be just as much on his case than they were on Barberio....

 

[Redux91]

that was a hook on Weber wtf

Well, were a bit rusty, but were leading

and Price seems like hes BACK, 15 saves in the first.

god we need him in form the rest of the way

 

[No More Subban]

That was actually a bad period for the habs. Even with the lead

 

[M.C.G. 31]

This is the Carey Price we all know and love.

 

[OldCraig71]

Nerves all nerves, Price being price again is the difference.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

OK, that was, uh, shakey... this will take time... BUT Price looks rejuvenated, as sharp as he's looked in a long while.

 

[jaffy27]

oh yea sorry Wpg was game before , that CBJ game was also really good

So Winnipeg is not tired then right?

 

[habamillions]

Not the best period. But overall good pace

 

[Smokey Thompson]

Weber again joining the rush. It's beautiful.

I'm thinking acquiring a top tier LHD PMD should be more of a priority than another centre.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Of course he isn't your a Subban (MOD)....doesn't surprise me.

Lol are you serious ? At least Burns, Karlsson, Doughty are all way ahead of him.

Unless he goes PPG the rest of the season + great defense, he won't win the Norris.

 

[JAVO16]

Okay. The only way you become a great two-way player is you need to develop the offensive side first and translate that confidence over time to the defensive side. Because of his mismanagement by MT, he hasn't been allowed the room to focus on offense without being punished for D mistakes. Part of good D is increased possession in your offensive zone.

Yeah, that’s the only way. No initially proficient defensive center ever developped an offensive game. As far as I’m concerned, Chucky has a bunch of good potential teachers on the habs to learn defense other than the head coach: Muller, teamates like Plekanec, Pacioretty, etc. His failure to develop a decent defensive game is mostly on his head IMO and Therrien is a convenient excuse.

I actually prefer a Nesterov over Barberio, mind you it's not like either defenseman are world beaters by any means.

 

[The Nightman]

Price knew the team had no chance at a cup without a coaching change. The deed is done, and it's now back down to business.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Keep in mind that this is a team that just had six days off as well.

 

[Peanut]

Love hockey again good to see Chucky as the #1 center


Wish Subban was back as a Hab right now!
