Given all the shit DDD and MT and DGMB have taken in the press in the last couple of weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't actually injured. A "Lower Body injury" can be anything from a fucked up knee (see TFS) to a bent and bruised cock (see DDD + MT) - so the fact that they've put a boot on his foot means fuck all. It takes the pressure off of MT, you get a natural switching of the lines without anyone being able to say they forced his hand. The Pierre Gauthier Habs of a few years ago never rally went away - they just hid at the back of the Bell Centre until they were needed...
Hey moe...what an effin snow storm eh! Geesh! Haven't seen that since...2008.
Oh, there's a game? Maybe I can last past the 2nd this time around. I know there's a lot of hate on DDD but, come on, he's the only guy who had PatCHes score friggin goals man...I know he's not a #1 but I feel bad for the guy. He's being put in that position because of a bad situation.
Sorry Hadulf, but DDD has done nothing for Patches lately. Patches has scored 2 goals in the past 12 games, one without Davey on the ice, and the other I think was a PP goal and Davey didn't have an assist on the play.
I'm not saying DDD is the only reason for Patches' suckiness of late, but he certainly ain't helping.
Definitely not helping lately, I totally agree. And he's been playing poorly (like the rest of the team, except Lb). I just don't think he deserves all the shit he's getting more than anybody else on the team. They're all sucking the big dick.
Lessio back after being hit by Gudas. Now after taking a blind side head shot against a Devil's player, 'Player Safety' lets him escape any punishment. Good job, Pronger.
I bet you it's because of the player that got hit. That Devil's player is dirty too. Don't get me wrong, not saying it's ok, just saying that if it were a star player the outcome would be different. Hence, like juce said, this lease is a joke when it comes to player safety
As usual J.T. nails it. I watched the Habs win championships starting in 1968. No Habs fan wants the Canadiens to tank for a draft pick but we have been forced into this position by inept management, poor player deployment and bad coaching. What are we supposed to do, smile and blindly cheer? Screw that.
My prediction for tonight is that Lego lasts 3 shifts with Patches...some short ass will,be in front of the net on the pp but it won't matter because they will continue to shoot the puck into the corner of the rink or behind the net...a 5-2 loss will,be blamed on PFK and Chip.
Melnick on a rant that someone in the room is pointing a finger at PFK as a way to cover his own ass. Whoever it is, is really low.
Says if the organization (I surmise MT, but that`s just me) is trying to get PK traded they better be damn careful and said how the Expos traded Gary Carter because they didn`t like his `style`either, told fans that Carter asked to be traded but that was not true and they never recovered, Carter was the reason his new team went on to win. So, he went on, if you don`t like PK because of the triple-low five, his archer celly or his purple fedora, you better think long and hard.
Nilan earlier today said who knows, maybe someone (I think I heard him say DDD?) did it to say, `look you see, it`s not MT that`s the problem, it`s PK`
Dark days indeed, PK has been the best player through these last horrible months, even with the mistakes he made some games.
I'll speculate and say it is the Peter-principled Daigneault. Never liked him and even less so now. Can't help run the D. Can't help run the PP. Only excuse he has to still have a job is either MT2 or DGMB or a combination of both. I don't like him one bit.
It broke my heart when the Expos traded Gary Carter. He WAS the Expos, the first superstar player to be drafted and developed by them. The Habs better not trade PK, the ONLY true superstar they have had since LaFleur. I'm not counting goalies because they can't impact a game like a skater can. If he is, I think my days as a Follower of the NHL will be over. Also, I'll know for sure there are behind the scene forces (RDS, TVA) you name it, who will do anything to protect their own and fuck ever having a winning team again.
tva and rds have been the biggest PFK slaggers. He's made mistakes on the ice like all Habs have done but they just can't help themselves. Add to that the disgusting drunken slur that mario tremblay put out there. No one is ever bigger than the team but if I am PFK I go to DGMB and let him know that his pal MT2 is a fuckwad and for the sake of icing on the season's shit cake, mention that no matter what JJ says, I'll do the opposite.
Wow, I was quite surprised to see Benoit Brunet defend PK, said are if PK`s personality is affecting the way the team plays, then the players lack character and the leadership or the organisation, coaches etc... need to do their part, said PK always brings it, they give him huge minutes, so what is the problem. D`'arche also defended him and they both said too much is being made of it and people who are not in the room are doing all the talking.
I tried to find a clip but couldn`t, few games ago, CHip scored and some mates were around him to celebrate but PatCHes just skated by while, (it seemed) like CHip had his arm reaching out for him. I wanted to find it to be sure I didn`t get a wrong read off it or if there was a longer clip (you know, like how sometimes a sound-bite is taken out of context) but I can`t.
"the Maritimer, The PK stuff was reported by Ron Fournier last night, someone was telling Wilde. don`t think I ever heard Fournier`s show or his reports before, but he is a former ref, maybe his former colleague called him after PK complained to the ref for not getting out of the way leading to Kane`s goal.
Latest H i/o video is OK (no Nilan or Todd). Stu always runs a good show, Reusch is a decent and factual guy, Boone to me is meh and Andie is the voice of the true and knowledgeable fans (and yes she is easy on the eyes and ears).
Whistling down their weekly wrap-up, its been a long season and it ain't over yet.
What weirds me out is seeing Geoff Molson and/or DGMB siding with the league on their agenda. Can't tell us why John Scott (nice guy and all) is shafted? Can't speak up about revenue transfers to garbage non-hockey markets? Let refs have their illegitimate way with Habs' games/players and not say a fucking word? Add a nickel to the price of beer and find some fucking balls.
"“I am troubled by Mr. Wideman’s total failure to accept any responsibility for his actions,” Bettman wrote in a 22-page dissertation released Wednesday" Says fuckface.
What about your fucking refs accepting responsibility for their actions?
I thought the last guy (before PK came along) who "got" what it meant to be a Hab was Mike Cammallari aka Squid. He was genuinely proud to put on that jersey and knew what it meant. Prust was someone else. I don't think Max feels that way. I think he feels like he got shafted by the team because he signed that bargain deal and is bitter about PK's megabucks contract. Hence the possible animosity between them. PK and Gallagher are probably the only two who care about what's going on.
Agree, the Maritimer, me also thinks he`s not too please with PK`'s largest philanthropic donation in sports history either. As for Squid, his words of playing with a losing attitude were taken out of context by the media and used by the Goat to classlessly trade him in game and demand he pay to keep his jersey.
To the comments up-thread. I don't listen to sports radio and never heard ron mourner's show but he's just another hack that is milking the Francophone angle and has done so since his hack referee stint. His dream of his new nordicks team is fading.
I've got two games on the go... Saint John vs Shawinigan on my laptop and Moncton vs Blainville on the local Rogers channel on TV. Gotta love technology.
I`m back, was CHatting on the phone with my daughter. MuCH better game this time but Sievens should just stay in his crease, try to stay off his butt and leave the puck alone instead of passing it right to the opponent - again. Though Varlamov did pull a Sievens at the other end, battle of the goalies`? GYFHG!
I was given premium tickets for Friday night's game this week. I asked one of our new guys at work if he was a hockey fan and he said he likes it but his girlfriend is crazy about the Habs. I gave him the tickets, he was thrilled, me thinks he'll get lucky ��
And PleXXXe hangs onto the puck for about 15 seconds with 20 left, with plenty of chance to shoot from a good spot. Sure looks like they're not concerned with the W anymore.
Eric Engels @EricEngels No other way to look at it: Therrien chose making a statement to Subban over putting best players on the ice down a goal with 1 min left.
What sucks more? The Montreal Canadiens or Game Center?
Had class all day (and I mean aaaaaaaallllll day), finally get home with a couple of beers and tasty dinner. Have to fight with GC to get it started for 15 minutes, as per usual. Everything is ok, although crappier quality than most nights. Then it just stops working. I literally just spent over an hour trying my hardest to watch the last 5 minutes of the game. Restart internet, restart VPN, restart computer, try jumping around on the feed (earlier parts played just fine, but would NOT play the last 5 minutes).
I decided to make this my Waterloo, I will spend until 2am waiting for this to work on principle. Then I realize, "Wait, they're going to give up a goal and lose. Who cares?" and right then the video finally starts up and the Avs immediately score.
I guess it was a lesson in accepting fate. But still, the new GC fucking sucks. Almost as hard as the Habs.
That foxhole comment took me aback at the time. Did he feel under fire? Are the two in on a big cover-up over the decision to bring back TFS before his knee was 100% and they are both to blame for it getting worse? There is more to come on this.
Okay, the move PK made was one he usually executes; however they were pressing for some offense, his GM has told them he wants them to play to win, (not "play to not lose"), and FFS he lost an edge and there were three competent players and some measure of a goalie back there to bail him out. Now, looking at the whole season, I haven't seen PK play as non-chalantly and get as few minutes a game as these last two. In fact Vodkov was their best D-man last night. But eMTy showed his unfortunate anti-PK bias in a rather uncool moment. Poor judgment is piling on for this coach. He needs to go now.
A lightning rod for criticism, Subban took the heat from his head coach Michel Therrien on Wednesday, after a late turnover cost the Montreal Canadiens at least a point in the standings as they fell 3-2 to the Colorado Avalanche.
"An individual mistake cost us the game," Therrien said.
Subban, as expected, took his leader's comments in stride.
"I've always had a huge target on my back," he said, according to La Presse's Marc Antoine Godin. "I expect it to be a huge story about the play that happened on the ice (Wednesday). I expect all that stuff. When you're the highest paid guy on the team, you make a lot of money and you speak your mind; people are going to have an opinion on you and that's fine.
"I just want to compete and be the best player I can be every night. I also understand that not every night is going to be your night. Sometimes the bounces aren't going to go your way."
It hasn't been the Canadiens' night in a long time; the bounces haven't been going their way for months.
Subban was benched after the turnover, spending the final two minutes of the game on the bench with his team down a goal. As Montreal's season spirals away, Wednesday's happenings may be looked back upon if and when the Canadiens miss the playoffs, or if and when Therrien is relieved of his duties.
Subban leads the Canadiens in scoring, with 44 points in 58 games. He also leads the club in ice time, at 25:59 a game. When you're out there that often, things can sometimes go wrong. It could be argued the defender's trying to do too much on the ice, but with Montreal reeling, options are slim.
Points wise, Subban has been more than solid since the calendar turned to 2016. He has four goals and 14 assists in 19 games in the new year."
I love Markov and PK but it is clear as a bell and to anyone who is not a PK hater that the coach simply does not like PK and has had it out for him all along. He blasted fans who booed Markov for turning over a puck in his OWN END leading to a goal yet he publicly slags PK to the media. Fans can boo if they want, they pay your salary, Therrien so just shut the fuck up, ever consider the fans were booing YOU and YOUR decisions?
What happened to your speech 'we win as a team and we lose as a team? Doesn't apply when PK's involved? Where the hell was Patcioretti instead of covering his man going back to the net? Down a goal and you nail PK to the bench? Yet all season, you don't do that to DDD. What's wrong with this picture, Bergevin? Open your fucking eyes.
Molson do something before it's too late and you lose the best player you've had in 20 years.
Oh, I am loving Marinaro's rant, "if you want to throw PK under the bus because you have the microphones in front of you, then now I am going to throw your under the bus ' and he is.
"Canadiens fans have been up in arms with Subban’s play of late."
A few days ago I scoured the internet for everything Habs, to get a feeling for what fans were thinking. Not just the usual places, but I googled random blogs and even ended up on reddit at one point. Not once did I see anything even suggesting negative things about PK's play. Yeah, there were the few regular coded "He's too bl...uh...flashy!" type stuff here and there, and even some hold outs who still defended MT (with no mention of PK). Yet TSN has somehow decided that Hab fans are 'up in arms' over his play? The leading scorer of the team? The only guy who shows heart (besides Gallagher)?
The SotU mediots have finally realized their prey is injured and have decided to pounce. They will do their part to rip this team apart. Not that it needs much help.
MT needs to shut his ugly mouth and go rub DDD's sore foot. The good news is that I never believed that he was gone after this season. I think even Molson has to have taken notice of the poison that is the coach now. I actually seriously don't don't that MB would choose Therrien over PK, but I don't believe Molson would ever let that happen.
Then again no one could have imagined the Habs would have traded Roy.
I recently watched The Purge. Premise, while initially intriguing, doesn't hold up to an ounze of scrutiny. So all crime is legal for 12 hours, and everyone just decides to hack each other to death? No one goes and takes all the money? And I'm sorry, but...rape? There'd be lots of rape. And like, if you steal during the Purge, can you still get arrested for stolen property the next day. Oh, and you're going to watch your neighbour rape your wife and kill your kids, and then what? Carpool with him the next day? And all this just to keep society safe the other 364 days a year? Wouldn't it take months, if not years, to recover from this purge? Towns would burn down, businesses would be completely destroyed, important and smart people would be murdered. How does this help the economy, exactly? Oh, and everyone is going to sit around until exactly 7pm to start shooting, and stop right at 7am? Why? Who would know if it was 5 minutes before/after? And isn't most crime out of passion, opportunity or even mental illness? Would the guy who caught his wife with another dude really wait 3 months for the purge? Would a crazy mass shooter who kills himself afterwards care about 'getting away with it'? Would act civilly to the people who killed your family all year and wait till the next purge to get revenge? But it all goes back to the fact that I don't think the majority of people would actually straight up axe someone to death just because it was legal. Rob a convenience store, sure. Take out a whole apartment block with arson? Errrrr....
IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE MAN!
But anyway, I bring this up because if the purge was a thing I think Therrien would need extra security that night. Just make sure they're not Hab fans.
Norman Flynn also mentions Markov & PK being taken off the first PP unit after 39 secs and replaced with N8 and Petry when you're trying to win a game.
Says if MT doesn't adjust and get PK on his side, he's the one who loses the battle and will lose his job.
1. Look in the fucking mirror 2. Shave the hipster beard (to feel fucking fresh) 3. Round up your management team (not including the fucking coaches) 4. Compare contact lists, make some fucking calls 5. Round up your team Captains, air all fucking grievances 6. Hit Presse-Café for multiple fucking incognito espressos (the shaved beard will help) 7. Text Geoff Molson that you will be in his office in 15 fucking minutes 8. Lay it all on the fucking line 9. Round up the marketing/communication team, no fucking leaks 10. Fire the fucking coaching staff, not including Waite
I heard that J - very impressive...then again - he could have been reading it on a tablet...Marinaro is losing what's left of his mind over that Journal de Montreal headline too...very interesting to listen to it staring out at the Tower of London (I'm in the office) knowing how much snow Montreal got yesterday...
I once read one of his articles where he tears down the myths created about the Habs and the 'French Canadian rule" I was looking for it one day but the link I had doesn't seem to valid anymore.
Gabriel Morency @sportsrage 22m22 minutes ago Im so mad im bringing @BWildeCTV on GTD at 5.30 to talk #Habs on the @FNTSYSportsNet !!! Be there Montreal!
I just saw Wilde on the new, excellent, if they post it, I provide the link. Keep fighting the good fight, Brian.
I've been out all morning and just getting caught up... great comments all around. I would like to add - if you will all recall back to the selection of Team Canada for the Sochi Olympics, fuckface was asked about PK being selected and basically refused to endorse him at all. I just listened to Hayes and O'Neill discussing what happened last night. They said that Therrien's benching of PK last night was a Junior coach move. I don't like you so I'm going to bench you. They can't fire this fucking clown fast enough.
... "Late in the second period Eller took a bad holding the stick penalty in the offensive zone. Just nine seconds later Iginla scored his first goal of the night to give the Avalanche the lead (Eller didn’t reference this when he referred to playing 58 minutes of good hockey only to lose on a late “mistake”)."
Michel Therrien. Mired in a free fall of historic proportion Therrien decides to single out Subban 24 hours after Ron Fournier tells his considerable radio audience there is a major rift in the Habs room and it’s because of Subban. What an act of coaching cowardice. Subban smear campaign. It’s on. Big time. Over 30 years ago, when it became obvious that baseball’s Team of the 80s had fallen short, ownership, management and some players pointed at the team’s most popular player as the source of the downfall. Charles Bronfman said giving Gary Carter a new multi-million dollar contract was the biggest mistake he ever made. President John McHale said the Expos dealt Carter to the Mets because the all star catcher had asked to be traded (total bullshit). Players whispered that the clubhouse had become fractured because “Gary Carter was all about Gary Carter”. I saw it go down firsthand. In his second year in New York Carter played a huge role in the Mets world series win. Expos fans were left with Hubie Brooks, Mike Fitzgerald, Herm Winningham, Floyd Youmans and nearly a decade of shitty baseball. This is beyond finger pointing. In addition to blaming Subban for being who he is (loud, brash, cocky) and what he is (which includes hockey champion) they’re trying to run him out of town to cover their own unproductive asses. We knew Carey Price was the glue that kept this team together. What we didn’t know was that he also cemented it.
Is it just me or does this thing remind anybody else of the Tremblay/Roy incident? Even before the Roy incident, I wasn't a fan of Tremblay and thought he exuded an air of arrogance behind the bench, much like we're seeing now. I pray to the Forum Ghosts that Molson/Bergevin wouldn't dare make the same mistake. So the only other option is FIRE THERRIEN! They cannot be blind to what's happening. Can they? While it's been refreshing hearing the CotU media taking PK's side and calling out eMTy for last night, I'm not a fan of the Habs being in the spotlight for these fucking soap opera reasons. That's some other team, not the class of the NHL - the Habs. WTF has happened?
His pod cast on EOTP (link upthread) he says this is the first time he has ever done this and he knows he has to walk into the room tomorrow and face Mr Turd. He makes very good points, he knows that he can walk in there because he did not act based on emotions but based on facts, such as the stats on DDD, said he never said DDD was shit, the facts said it and if you think those facts are shit, then change them. If you listen, it starts around the 9 or 10min mark.
Everyone has touched on Wilde on today, NHL Tonight, Around The Horn, Tim & Sid etc...
Fuck Dreger. "PK has been told time and time again by Therrien not to make such plays" or something like that. How the fuck does he even know what goes on or what his coach has said to him. Idiot.
Here's my new prediction...The Habs will lose tonight (Friday) and it will then give DGMB the weekend to change his mind and sack MT - he won't have a choice as the team will be sent off the ice to a chorus of boos and debris will rain down on the Bell Centre Ice...or...PFK will play the most awesome 32 minutes of hockey we have seen this year, be "la premiere etoile" and then he'll rally the troups when he gets interviewed by the Renauld Lavoie (or whatever his name is) at Centre Ice. Trust me - one of those two things will happen...
"L’œuvre d’éradication des frogs entreprise par Bob Gainey et Pierre Gauthier avec Trevor Timmins comme homme de main, a obtenu la solution finale. Des francophones, il n’y en avait plus dans l’équipe pour cette défaite."
Loose translation: There wasn't a single francophone in the lineup in Colorado Wednesday. The goal to eradicate frogs undertaken by Gainey and Gauthier with Timmois as their henchman has been attained, there was not a single francophone left when they lost.
It's strange really because just a week or so ago the Antichambre had a segment about how there are less and less francophone players in the NHL and they had a table showing the number of players there were in consecutive years pointing out that among those there are vets who have been around awhile such as Bergeron etc... So I guess there must be a conspiracy league wide to 'eradicate frogs' from hockey altogether then. And what disgusting choice of words.
Actually - Patches is probably the only player the Habs have that would net them a worthwhile return. he has a cap friendly contract and he has been playing "sof" for a while now - He's the Captain but he's not the star and that is never a good combo to have. There would be some concern about the Habs trading a captain but a lot less uproar then if they traded PFK. I don't see it happening before the end of the season but that is a scenario I can still see happening.
According to Louis Jean last night on TVA PK's name has been brought up and I saw this today.
BrianWilde @BWildeCTV 59 mins59 minutes ago BrianWilde Retweeted Louis Jean Hmmm, I wish wording of this was slightly better. Like "came up" because Marc floated it? Big difference. BrianWilde added, Louis Jean @LouisJean_TVA Did the rounds to find out if Subban is on the market. One team executive said "his name has come up". @TVASports
BrianWilde @BWildeCTV 18 mins18 minutes ago BrianWilde Retweeted Louis Jean Wow! Well that is clearer. So Habs are initiating according to LJ. A new farcical chapter everyday to this season. BrianWilde added, Louis Jean @LouisJean_TVA Not suggesting #Canadiens will trade Subban. Just saying one team confirmed #Habs are "gauging the market".
Didn't watch the game but I saw the replay on His Flashyness's blown tire and that will happen. It appeared more that Grigorinko got a poke check more than His Flashyness fucking up ( which he does all the time ) but the thing that got me was that Jerome was alone in front because Patches stopped back checking turned his back on the play and left His Man alone in front. So who fucked up here besides Little Boy MT2.0 ? Our Captain. That's who. Go Habs
A game without DDD, can't remember the last time that happened.
ReplyDeleteProbably too little to late but...ABOUTFUCKINGTIME!

DeleteGiven all the shit DDD and MT and DGMB have taken in the press in the last couple of weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't actually injured. A "Lower Body injury" can be anything from a fucked up knee (see TFS) to a bent and bruised cock (see DDD + MT) - so the fact that they've put a boot on his foot means fuck all. It takes the pressure off of MT, you get a natural switching of the lines without anyone being able to say they forced his hand. The Pierre Gauthier Habs of a few years ago never rally went away - they just hid at the back of the Bell Centre until they were needed...

D`'arche also defended him and they both said too much is being made of it and people who are not in the room are doing all the talking.
DeleteI gotta turn on the teevee machine.
DeleteI tried to find a clip but couldn`t, few games ago, CHip scored and some mates were around him to celebrate but PatCHes just skated by while, (it seemed) like CHip had his arm reaching out for him. I wanted to find it to be sure I didn`t get a wrong read off it or if there was a longer clip (you know, like how sometimes a sound-bite is taken out of context) but I can`t.
Delete"the Maritimer, The PK stuff was reported by Ron Fournier last night, someone was telling Wilde. don`t think I ever heard Fournier`s show or his reports before, but he is a former ref, maybe his former colleague called him after PK complained to the ref for not getting out of the way leading to Kane`s goal.

Delete"“I am troubled by Mr. Wideman’s total failure to accept any responsibility for his actions,” Bettman wrote in a 22-page dissertation released Wednesday" Says fuckface.
ReplyDeleteWhat about your fucking refs accepting responsibility for their actions?
I thought the last guy (before PK came along) who "got" what it meant to be a Hab was Mike Cammallari aka Squid. He was genuinely proud to put on that jersey and knew what it meant. Prust was someone else. I don't think Max feels that way. I think he feels like he got shafted by the team because he signed that bargain deal and is bitter about PK's megabucks contract. Hence the possible animosity between them. PK and Gallagher are probably the only two who care about what's going on.
ReplyDeleteYeah Squid was a proud Hab. CHarger even more. I'd suggest Eller as another.
DeleteSorry for being gone this long, who's CHarger?
DeleteI would actually add, to an extent, AK27 to this list.
Agree, the Maritimer, me also thinks he`s not too please with PK`'s largest philanthropic donation in sports history either. As for Squid, his words of playing with a losing attitude were taken out of context by the media and used by the Goat to classlessly trade him in game and demand he pay to keep his jersey.
DeleteCaught #33 on rds. Molson missed out big time.

ReplyDeleteWhat sucks more? The Montreal Canadiens or Game Center?
ReplyDeleteHad class all day (and I mean aaaaaaaallllll day), finally get home with a couple of beers and tasty dinner. Have to fight with GC to get it started for 15 minutes, as per usual. Everything is ok, although crappier quality than most nights. Then it just stops working. I literally just spent over an hour trying my hardest to watch the last 5 minutes of the game. Restart internet, restart VPN, restart computer, try jumping around on the feed (earlier parts played just fine, but would NOT play the last 5 minutes).
I decided to make this my Waterloo, I will spend until 2am waiting for this to work on principle. Then I realize, "Wait, they're going to give up a goal and lose. Who cares?" and right then the video finally starts up and the Avs immediately score.
I guess it was a lesson in accepting fate. But still, the new GC fucking sucks. Almost as hard as the Habs.
I think the team should get some shovels, gather around the pile of dirt alongside the foxhole, fill it in then pave over top of it.
ReplyDeleteThat foxhole comment took me aback at the time. Did he feel under fire? Are the two in on a big cover-up over the decision to bring back TFS before his knee was 100% and they are both to blame for it getting worse? There is more to come on this.
DeleteOkay, the move PK made was one he usually executes; however they were pressing for some offense, his GM has told them he wants them to play to win, (not "play to not lose"), and FFS he lost an edge and there were three competent players and some measure of a goalie back there to bail him out. Now, looking at the whole season, I haven't seen PK play as non-chalantly and get as few minutes a game as these last two. In fact Vodkov was their best D-man last night. But eMTy showed his unfortunate anti-PK bias in a rather uncool moment. Poor judgment is piling on for this coach. He needs to go now.
ReplyDelete"Subban's used to this.
ReplyDeleteA lightning rod for criticism, Subban took the heat from his head coach Michel Therrien on Wednesday, after a late turnover cost the Montreal Canadiens at least a point in the standings as they fell 3-2 to the Colorado Avalanche.
"An individual mistake cost us the game," Therrien said.
Subban, as expected, took his leader's comments in stride.
"I've always had a huge target on my back," he said, according to La Presse's Marc Antoine Godin. "I expect it to be a huge story about the play that happened on the ice (Wednesday). I expect all that stuff. When you're the highest paid guy on the team, you make a lot of money and you speak your mind; people are going to have an opinion on you and that's fine.
"I just want to compete and be the best player I can be every night. I also understand that not every night is going to be your night. Sometimes the bounces aren't going to go your way."
It hasn't been the Canadiens' night in a long time; the bounces haven't been going their way for months.
Subban was benched after the turnover, spending the final two minutes of the game on the bench with his team down a goal. As Montreal's season spirals away, Wednesday's happenings may be looked back upon if and when the Canadiens miss the playoffs, or if and when Therrien is relieved of his duties.
Subban leads the Canadiens in scoring, with 44 points in 58 games. He also leads the club in ice time, at 25:59 a game. When you're out there that often, things can sometimes go wrong. It could be argued the defender's trying to do too much on the ice, but with Montreal reeling, options are slim.
Points wise, Subban has been more than solid since the calendar turned to 2016. He has four goals and 14 assists in 19 games in the new year."
FUCK YOU THERRIEN!
FU Therrien indeed!

ReplyDeleteI love Markov and PK but it is clear as a bell and to anyone who is not a PK hater that the coach simply does not like PK and has had it out for him all along. He blasted fans who booed Markov for turning over a puck in his OWN END leading to a goal yet he publicly slags PK to the media. Fans can boo if they want, they pay your salary, Therrien so just shut the fuck up, ever consider the fans were booing YOU and YOUR decisions?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to your speech 'we win as a team and we lose as a team? Doesn't apply when PK's involved? Where the hell was Patcioretti instead of covering his man going back to the net? Down a goal and you nail PK to the bench? Yet all season, you don't do that to DDD. What's wrong with this picture, Bergevin? Open your fucking eyes.
Molson do something before it's too late and you lose the best player you've had in 20 years.

Oh, I am loving Marinaro's rant, "if you want to throw PK under the bus because you have the microphones in front of you, then now I am going to throw your under the bus ' and he is.
ReplyDeleteFrom TSN:
ReplyDelete"Canadiens fans have been up in arms with Subban’s play of late."
A few days ago I scoured the internet for everything Habs, to get a feeling for what fans were thinking. Not just the usual places, but I googled random blogs and even ended up on reddit at one point. Not once did I see anything even suggesting negative things about PK's play. Yeah, there were the few regular coded "He's too bl...uh...flashy!" type stuff here and there, and even some hold outs who still defended MT (with no mention of PK). Yet TSN has somehow decided that Hab fans are 'up in arms' over his play? The leading scorer of the team? The only guy who shows heart (besides Gallagher)?
The SotU mediots have finally realized their prey is injured and have decided to pounce. They will do their part to rip this team apart. Not that it needs much help.
MT needs to shut his ugly mouth and go rub DDD's sore foot. The good news is that I never believed that he was gone after this season. I think even Molson has to have taken notice of the poison that is the coach now. I actually seriously don't don't that MB would choose Therrien over PK, but I don't believe Molson would ever let that happen.
Then again no one could have imagined the Habs would have traded Roy.
PFK is the best skater the habs have had since Guy Lafleur. How can we drive the bus over him?
DeleteThe only bus Therrien can drive is the one in the McDonald's commercial and picked up a kid's meal for DDD.

ReplyDeleteI recently watched The Purge. Premise, while initially intriguing, doesn't hold up to an ounze of scrutiny. So all crime is legal for 12 hours, and everyone just decides to hack each other to death? No one goes and takes all the money? And I'm sorry, but...rape? There'd be lots of rape. And like, if you steal during the Purge, can you still get arrested for stolen property the next day. Oh, and you're going to watch your neighbour rape your wife and kill your kids, and then what? Carpool with him the next day? And all this just to keep society safe the other 364 days a year? Wouldn't it take months, if not years, to recover from this purge? Towns would burn down, businesses would be completely destroyed, important and smart people would be murdered. How does this help the economy, exactly? Oh, and everyone is going to sit around until exactly 7pm to start shooting, and stop right at 7am? Why? Who would know if it was 5 minutes before/after? And isn't most crime out of passion, opportunity or even mental illness? Would the guy who caught his wife with another dude really wait 3 months for the purge? Would a crazy mass shooter who kills himself afterwards care about 'getting away with it'? Would act civilly to the people who killed your family all year and wait till the next purge to get revenge? But it all goes back to the fact that I don't think the majority of people would actually straight up axe someone to death just because it was legal. Rob a convenience store, sure. Take out a whole apartment block with arson? Errrrr....
ReplyDeleteIT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE MAN!
But anyway, I bring this up because if the purge was a thing I think Therrien would need extra security that night. Just make sure they're not Hab fans.

DeleteI expet in the futre eMPty will go on the road with a personal addiciton story.

They can't fire this fucking clown fast enough.

DeleteMichel Therrien. Mired in a free fall of historic proportion Therrien decides to single out Subban 24 hours after Ron Fournier tells his considerable radio audience there is a major rift in the Habs room and it’s because of Subban. What an act of coaching cowardice.
Subban smear campaign. It’s on. Big time. Over 30 years ago, when it became obvious that baseball’s Team of the 80s had fallen short, ownership, management and some players pointed at the team’s most popular player as the source of the downfall. Charles Bronfman said giving Gary Carter a new multi-million dollar contract was the biggest mistake he ever made. President John McHale said the Expos dealt Carter to the Mets because the all star catcher had asked to be traded (total bullshit). Players whispered that the clubhouse had become fractured because “Gary Carter was all about Gary Carter”. I saw it go down firsthand. In his second year in New York Carter played a huge role in the Mets world series win. Expos fans were left with Hubie Brooks, Mike Fitzgerald, Herm Winningham, Floyd Youmans and nearly a decade of shitty baseball. This is beyond finger pointing. In addition to blaming Subban for being who he is (loud, brash, cocky) and what he is (which includes hockey champion) they’re trying to run him out of town to cover their own unproductive asses. We knew Carey Price was the glue that kept this team together. What we didn’t know was that he also cemented it.

Even before the Roy incident, I wasn't a fan of Tremblay and thought he exuded an air of arrogance behind the bench, much like we're seeing now. I pray to the Forum Ghosts that Molson/Bergevin wouldn't dare make the same mistake. So the only other option is FIRE THERRIEN! They cannot be blind to what's happening. Can they? While it's been refreshing hearing the CotU media taking PK's side and calling out eMTy for last night, I'm not a fan of the Habs being in the spotlight for these fucking soap opera reasons. That's some other team, not the class of the NHL - the Habs. WTF has happened?

He makes very good points, he knows that he can walk in there because he did not act based on emotions but based on facts, such as the stats on DDD, said he never said DDD was shit, the facts said it and if you think those facts are shit, then change them. If you listen, it starts around the 9 or 10min mark.
DeleteEveryone has touched on Wilde on today, NHL Tonight, Around The Horn, Tim & Sid etc...
MT = Mr. T = Mr. Turd. I hope the crowd boos the fuck out of that arrogant prick when he steps behind the bench tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteFuck Dreger. "PK has been told time and time again by Therrien not to make such plays" or something like that. How the fuck does he even know what goes on or what his coach has said to him. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteHere's my new prediction...The Habs will lose tonight (Friday) and it will then give DGMB the weekend to change his mind and sack MT - he won't have a choice as the team will be sent off the ice to a chorus of boos and debris will rain down on the Bell Centre Ice...or...PFK will play the most awesome 32 minutes of hockey we have seen this year, be "la premiere etoile" and then he'll rally the troups when he gets interviewed by the Renauld Lavoie (or whatever his name is) at Centre Ice. Trust me - one of those two things will happen...

Loose translation:
There wasn't a single francophone in the lineup in Colorado Wednesday.
The goal to eradicate frogs undertaken by Gainey and Gauthier with Timmois as their henchman has been attained, there was not a single francophone left when they lost.

the french coaching staff needs the guillitine. Only the goalie coach stays, everyone else both AHL and NHL has to walk the plank
DeleteIt's strange really because just a week or so ago the Antichambre had a segment about how there are less and less francophone players in the NHL and they had a table showing the number of players there were in consecutive years pointing out that among those there are vets who have been around awhile such as Bergeron etc... So I guess there must be a conspiracy league wide to 'eradicate frogs' from hockey altogether then. And what disgusting choice of words.
DeleteIts fucking rejoin tremblay, biggest loudmouth séparatiste left.
DeletePatches and Y to Tampa for Druid and a first and a prospect
ReplyDeleteI doubt it, his cap friendly contract vs what he produces makes him too valuable to the Habs to move.
DeleteActually - Patches is probably the only player the Habs have that would net them a worthwhile return. he has a cap friendly contract and he has been playing "sof" for a while now - He's the Captain but he's not the star and that is never a good combo to have. There would be some concern about the Habs trading a captain but a lot less uproar then if they traded PFK. I don't see it happening before the end of the season but that is a scenario I can still see happening.
