After one period, Price = julien's system..

conceptual continuity

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

With all due respect to Weber, he has no business winning the Norris this year. He earned a player of the month award and that was warranted but that's about it.

I know. Burns and Karlsson are way ahead of him, especially Burns.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I don't even see a race.

It's got to be Burns this year.

Burns has ran away with it , he is ahead by a mile.

Burns could slow down and Karlsson could start scoring at a ridiculous pace like he has in the past.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Obivously he's not gonna win, but at worst he's going to finish fourth, and Subban is not even gonna get a single vote.

Players that are on the DL don't usually get votes.

Anyways, he's gone now.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Burns could slow down and Karlsson could start scoring at a ridiculous pace like he has in the past.

Sure. He could also get hurt.

Right now though he's a lock.

 

[BatVader]

Burns could slow down and Karlsson could start scoring at a ridiculous pace like he has in the past.

I don't see that happening.
It could. Anything can happen, but this looks to be Burns year.

 

[Hackett]

Man that 1 practice sure did not help what a waste of time


Fire julien am i right

Its going to be a challenge to find the time for CJ to put his stamp on the team. There just isn't alot of practice time available, but I think for the immediate future, he's just trying to work on the players' confidence. That is a a big thing on its own IMO.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

38 hits in the 1st period alone? Jesus lol

 

[Whitesnake]

Wait, Jets had 15 shots on goal to our 6? I thought we sucked because of Therrien.

What a great comment that you really really really hope was sarcastic. 'Cause if not....wow. And YES, what you're STILL seeing now is Therrien's. 'Cause his imprint still outweigh the 1 hour practice Julien had yesterday.

Mind you, your comment is ONLY true the day you are adressing it to people who solely believed that removing DD from the lineup would make this team a contending team....or that removing Therrien ALONE would be doing the same thing. Which obviously was never the reality....this team STILL has from to 3 to 5 great changes before we can think they are a true contending team.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I don't see that happening.
It could. Anything can happen, but this looks to be Burns year.

You never know, last year Karlsson was PPG with a worst team than the Sharks and he was not able to win it.

 

[Kenny Powders]

Emelin is terrible tonight, bad passes after bad passes.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I don't want to talk too soon, but nice to see the Price we all love !

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

You never know, last year Karlsson was PPG with a worst team than the Sharks and he was not able to win it.

That's true, the voters can be idiots sometimes.

 

[G0bias]

Seeing the top line still on the ice after their sloppy play in our end had me in shock. My brain is conditioned to see them benched and seeing the 4th line on the ice afterwards "to send da message".

 

[habfaninvictoria]

Didn't expect a miracle, but expected effort ... we see that. The play is pretty scrappy in the neutral zone which is scary, but kind of expected.

The biggest difference (other than Price playing like ... Price)

Engaged D, which has created a couple oddman rushes against.
Less dump and chase
Forwards are back deeper on the breakout
Coach is not punishing mistakes

It'll take a while for a couple guys to get their confidence back

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Emelin had 6 hits in the 1st period alone lmao

 

[Tyson]

This Winnipeg team has some impressive tools. Why are they not a top 5 team? Big, skilled...baffling

 

[The Nightman]

Goaltending, for the most part

 

[mariolemieux66]

Burns could slow down and Karlsson could start scoring at a ridiculous pace like he has in the past.

I think the only way Burns doesn't win the Norris its if he gets injure in his next game, miss the rest of the season and either Karlsson or Hedman puts up 30 points for the reminder of the season.

 

[G0bias]

Goaltending and defense isn't so great. Mostly goaltending.

 

[Team_Spirit]

No goalie

I low key like the jets

 

[Habs100]

I'd much rather see Ghetto on the fourth line over Flynn. Let Flynn compete with Mitchell for the 4c spot. Give Ghetto, McCarron, Carr, and Hudon time on the fourth.

 

[NobleSix]

His back is messed up though, that's the wildcard. He missed part of the pre-season with it and it's obviously hobbled him somewhat this year. The thing about Subban with us is that he was always healthy. If he's busted up going forward it obviously changes things. Personally I'd take Subban every day over Weber and twice on Sunday but that back is a pretty big variable in the equation.

Unfortunately, I dont think he will ever be 100%. If he's anything like me, or the majority of people who have suffered a serious back injury, his back will always nag him. I hope i'm wrong because I would never wish a serious back injury on my worst enemy, but I have a strong feeling that he will never be the level of player that he was here.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Now let's see what the powerplay looks like.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Price get run into again? oh not bad really nm
