Although the guys are playing like shit, it's obvious that MT (once again) is being completely outcoached. There has been absolutely no adjustments on his part the whole series, and certainly not since they started sucking. DSP will be on that first line when the Sens are celebrating in game 7. DDD will be on the first PP unit until one of them leave this team. Eller will be marginalized until he retires in Legoland. They will dump and chase, play the perimeter and pass pass pass until they day we all die. They are still (trying to) play the game the exact same way they did in game 1. Cameron and the Sens have adjusted, MT and the Habs have not.
omg. i made it to the ice cream thread 1st!! its an omen... what i said is GONNA happen (...or else i get kmaxx, moeman, habsfan29, orangeman, saintpaddy whiskeysours 4life!)
Fuck this shit, FHFers, last season Montreal was down 0-3 in the 3rd period against the Sens, came back to tie the game 3-3 and winning in OT and the Habs made NHL History.
This game (ooh, Kate Upton's boobs) is hard to watch, but I'm going to stick it out. This game is probably lost (I won't count them totally out), but I want to at least see some fucking heart. Some hits. Some traffic in front of Craig Fucking Anderson. Just show me that you care. That's all I'm asking at this point.
Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!! Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!!
Some guys get you there, other guys get you through it. Hate to say it, but I think Patches is a guy who gets you there. gChuck is a guy who is nowhere.
Yeah, gCHuk is lost. I like to think he has Kovalevian talent and could work that halfwall on the PP like Kovy did. Maybe he need to watch Kovy's video.
I haven't given up on this team, I won't even give up on them after they lose game 7. I will give up on them if MT is still behind the bench next October.
I honestly don't know if they really feel that shame. I'm sure they feel bad and all, but I have never really felt a high level of passion and intensity on this team this year. I chalk that up to a lack of leadership.
Here it is: They win this series somehow and get destroyed in the next round and nothing gets fixed next year. Or, they complete the collapse and, hopefully, something snaps for next season.
Just trying to be positive. Because fuck this team right now. Fuck 'em hard.
oui mon frerés... je m'excuse tous le monde. cette match c'est me responsibilitè. i should not have so cockily said carey needs to stop at 4.
next stupid thing out of my mouth: 1. i knew those breakaways by CHarger and plexxxx would come back to haunt us. 2. carey needs to remind the universe whybhe deserves the hart trophy 3. patCHes and DDD need to create at least a 1/2 chance 4. which guy (undeservedly) subs out for PA?
Mitchell, Flynn and Prust have the same amount of points as DDD, Patches, PleXXXe, gCHuck and KidG.
In other words, the 4th line has the same amount of points as the 5 highest scoring forwards from the regular season.
Never mind skill level, those 5 scorers are averaging between 18-20 minutes of TOI (which includes all the PP time). The 4th liners are getting 10-11. When you throw in Weise into those bottom guys it's pretty obvious where the trouble is on this team. Your best players have to be your best players.
Sens fans are such drama queens. So we can add 5 more Habs who should get suspended to the list now. I know most of them just started watching hockey 2 months ago, but they seem to be really confused about what a penalty is. By the way, after the game Anderson said what Prust did was no big deal.
I know I should let it go, but I got lost in a stats hole. Do you know how many goals DDD has in 31 career playoff games. I'll give you a minute here.
TWO! Two fucking playoff goals (and one was an empty netter)!
Oh, but wait, you say. Davey's a playmaker, not a sniper! He surely has a bundle of assists to go along with those 2 huge goals! Again, take a guess....
TEN! Ten assists in 31 playoff games!
Some of you might think, Well that's not too bad. 12 points in 31 games. And again I ask, for a first line center who gets tops minutes, plays with the team's only real sniper and has the majority of PP time?
I have a headache. Time to go watch the old men play croquet in the park.
Exactly Exactly Bullshit. He hits Charger in a soft spot and Charger gives him a poke in the pads,and then Charger gets two handers. Assaults with a deadly weapon I say.
Lars Eller somehow got less than three minutes in the first period. Don't know what the coach is doing with this player. He's one of the best and never can get any ice time. He chased down Stone in the third period to stop a breakaway. Stone didn't even get a shot. Eller went to the front of the net the entire night and was a mess for the Sens D to handle.
Sstatistically what did you think about Patches and DDD's game? "Everyone needs to be better"
What does Lego have to do to get more ice time? He's played very well over the last 2 games? "We play 4 lines, the 3rd and 4th lines get about the same ice-time"
The 3rd and 4th yes, but compared to the 1st two trios is what I want to know "We play 4 lines" http://www.rds.ca/vid%C3%A9os/anderson-a-%C3%A9t%C3%A9-tr%C3%A8s-bon-3.1131905
Then the panel on AC later hem and haw, "well every player thinks they should have more ice time, no one 'deserves' it." Fuck yes, DDD is not more 'deserving' than Lego.
Seems like the Habs / Sens are the most watched. https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/eh-game/the-great-canadian-ratings-report--nhl-playoff-audiences-on-the-rise-175232465.html
Maybe I shouldn't comment as I only watched half the game and this is only my half-assed theory, but these players are so dedicated to "the System" they play like robots. "I must not deviate from the System." So if the opposition coach figures out how to beat your "System" how about you re-adjust to their style so you can at least keep up? My eyes aren't what they used to be but it looked like Ottawa had a pretty simple plan. Weather the opening 10 minutes or so then just crowd Carey Price and fire lots of shots at the net. By the time Therrien figured it out they were down 3 zip. DDD and Max are a mess and gCHuk looks lost. Maybe put those guys in a blender and change things up? Anyway, they still got two cracks at this. Go Habs.
Bobby Hull and I believe Gordi Howe said the coach sucked beans. I do not know about your life but in my own life I got people telling me how to do everthing. If I was playing hockey I think that would suck and take away from my play. We got the best goalie in the world, so fuck defence, lets be creative and score some fucking goals. Score some fucking goals. We are like the depends team, we never leak, except when it pours.
No spoiler at all you must know it ends abrubtly. Kinda like the carreer of a hockey player over thirty who is a ufa swimming in a pool full of coke and MDMA. But there is good news 29 if you get a Timothy Oliphant addiction. Which I have. Administer Hit Man and Justified.
I am pretty sure we are dopplegangers, but one thing you do that I would never do is promote my own websites. But if people need information I just send them to a trusted source.
Your best soucre to understand that I have Identified for free.
Look I make some mocking sounds from time to time, and maybe I am sarcastic. I can tell you one thing about Moeman, when push gets to shove, he has a shovel. The details are so foggy I have to rely on the infrared vision on my BMW 7. Momean and 29 stopped me from running from the law. Now I only jog.
The eMpTy DDD Max love triangle will ultimately be the Habs undoing. When they are eliminated in Game 7 on home ice hopefully GMMB will finally recognize this and address it. I actually don't care if MT remains the coach, he is irrelevant, it's DDD who has to go. Big time liability.
I'm hoping my golf course opens up next week, I need something else to dwell upon.
He is too easy to contain. I recall a comment last night he had more snow on his uniform than the Zamboni. Actually, he had more snow on him than they got in Bathurst, NB yesterday - 20cm.
Got to tell you one thing about being happy int the jaws of defeat. Well you got some time to make it better. Your cause may be just but as you know it may loose to politices. Our you might just have come face to face with Zombies and if you have not been reading me surviaval will be difficult. Even if you address every concern I have about the Zombie apocplyse its still going to be a shit show. Now I have described this current playoff series.
Went out today for some beers with a friend in the sunshine. I will try not to dwell on the fact that it's 22c here with sunshining sun because I know there are still parts of Canada that are experiencing snow.
Things I was mulling over today in the warm sunlight:
-gCHuck was drafted as the Habs first line center. He has played 12 total games at center in 3 years and has collected 10 points. According to the team (aka coach) he asked to be removed because he wasn't being the best at that position. So although we like to say it's not DDD's fault that MT keeps putting him there, obviously the coach would respond to him saying it's not the best decision for the team. And in case it's not blindingly clear, him being the #1 center is not the best decision for the team.
-The EGG line was reunited for one shift this year. They produced a goal. They have not been put back together since, despite all of the line mixing that has been tried.
-As mentioned, Lego only got 3 minutes of ice in the 1st period, and one of the lowest totals for the game. Despite that, he got the most shots (tied with others), the most shot attempts and the best Corsi (which I don't understand, but I know it's good) despite having the most d-zone starts. DDD was one of two Habs without a shot attempt, along with (Y)Emelin.
Thank goodness it was sunny and warm (have I mentioned that yet?) otherwise these things would have eaten me up today. In closing I'd like to also point out that the Pens' 5 game exit this season is their quickest departure since 2007. Can anyone guess who their coach was at that time? Yes, he got them to the 2008 finals. And then he got them to a .500 record the next year before he was ousted, they went on a tear and then won the Cup. As I always say, it's not about this year (I don't think the 2015 Habs are the 2009 Pens). It's about the next few years. My greatest fear isn't losing this series, it's looking back in 5 years and having a 2014 ECF as the best result for this team.
Maybe I'm taking it all too seriously, though. Too much vitamin D from that blazing sun today got me dizzy. I should just get my AC dusted off instead of worrying about this stuff.
Everyone reading this blog is well centered and able to judge the world as it is. Evidence is important in making that declartion and exepct or OLEG I have to say Habs fans on this site are all in Universe 1. I do not mention it much any more but I walk the astral plane and thats an expericence you can not really buy, unless your dealer has good LSD. Do not confuse science with morality watch Fringe if you do not already know the differance.
So I have been probing the alternative universe and come to the conculsion we win the next game. Do not confuse this with a prediction.
Despite all the problems with this team, I believe they won't lose 4 straight to the turds. If the Wings can manage to knock off the Bolts, I think they can handle them. I wouldn't bet a nickel on them beating TB though. Then...who know.
But if MT doesn't adjust by changing up the PP, sitting $, gCHuk, or Patches (i won't even suggest ddd), then nothing will come easy.
"In their long history, the Canadiens have held a 3-0 lead in a best-of-seven series 32 times and never lost. In fact, they’ve never been taken to a Game 7 after leading a series 3-0."
"The New York Rangers may not be all that encouraged after making history in their opening-round series victory over thePittsburgh Penguins. While the Rangers managed to dispose of the Penguins in five games, it wasn't due to an abundance of offense.
What makes this even more dubious is the fact the Penguins were without three of their top defensemen in the series, namely Kris Letang, Christian Ehrhoff and Olli Maatta.
Most notably, regular season goal leader Rick Nash (42) was held to one goal in five games, while Martin St. Louis - who ranked second with 21 - failed to hit the back of the net.
The Rangers did manage to contain superstars Sidney Crosby andEvgeni Malkin, but will need to get the sticks going if they're going to return to the Stanley Cup Final."
Per Elias, NYR just 2nd team in NHL history to score 2 goals or fewer in all 4 wins in a playoff series, as they did vs. #Penguins. 11:01 AM - 25 Apr 2015
I took Saturday to contemplate what happened Friday night. I stated very early that the Habs would be in trouble if they didn't cash in early. They had the chances given to them. A pp which yielded fuck All set the pace for the game. They had a lot of shots...but a lot of the shots were easy stops for Anderson. I'm too lazy to research it but how many games did the Habs lose this year when they had over 40 shots? I suspect not too many...playoff hockey is opportunist hockey and the Habs didn't take advantage of the opportunities. Back to Anderson - why the fuck he didn't get at least a minor for his assault on Charger I will never understand...the ref was standing right there...tonight's game is going to be another intense affair with the turds trying to hit everything that moves...if the Habs can play their own game, weather that first 10 minutes and actually get a few decent shots on Anderson (he isn't that good!) then I think that they will be o. JUST FUCKING WIN, go Habs go!
I don't think he has a choice. I mean that literally, I bet MB has told him to put PAP in the line up. So who comes out? I'm thinking either Flynn or DLR.
I have a new good luck CHarm. My daughter came home last night on a break has taken up beading and made me a pair of beaded earrings that are the CH logo. GYMFHG

ReplyDeleteCa$h it San Fran Cocksuckers!
ReplyDeleteI hope PFK gave that little shit pageau a macro-fracture.
ReplyDeleteWell, there's that. They had it on a silver platter and they shat on it.
ReplyDeleteTop 6 have all been a waste of time this series. Start the 3rd and 4th lines on the PP next game. Give the opportunity to guys who will work with it.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, maybe something different that SUBBAN SHOOTS while on the PP! I get the feeling opposing teams are onto that. Call me crazy.
ReplyDeletePredictable? Lets see we have a 37 goal scorer, maybe set him up in the slot? No DDD is there
DeleteThey need to do more...fucking passes into the corner piss me off!
ReplyDeletewe may have a moral victory here
ReplyDeleteSome guys get you there, other guys get you through it. Hate to say it, but I think Patches is a guy who gets you there. gChuck is a guy who is nowhere.
ReplyDeleteYeah, gCHuk is lost. I like to think he has Kovalevian talent and could work that halfwall on the PP like Kovy did. Maybe he need to watch Kovy's video.
DeleteI finaly figured it out, Stone is Jim Belushi
ReplyDeleteBon nuit...fuck!
ReplyDeleteI think its time to take that how to Score like Scott Gomez out of the Fourm library and burn it.
ReplyDeleteWell, see you in Ottawa.
ReplyDeletedidn't oleg predict a 4-1 game.
ReplyDeleteOh Vodkov
ReplyDeleteFuck it going to watch Dig Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Although I have to say I am not that worried maybe a little like Churchill in 1935 but nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteI haven't given up on this team, I won't even give up on them after they lose game 7. I will give up on them if MT is still behind the bench next October.
ReplyDeleteWould it be stupid to pulll DLR and put in Hudon and just see whats going to happen. I would pair Dish woth PFK, Vodkov with (Y) and Plaid with Gonch.
ReplyDeleteSN is having so much fun rubbing it in .
ReplyDeleteMerck Moeman...a dimanche...
ReplyDeleteSalut
Deletenow we have just given up
ReplyDeletedon't know why MT hasn't pulled TFS already, what do you have to loose now?
ReplyDeleteTotal team loss. Be ashamed of losing to a lesser team of slugs.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know if they really feel that shame. I'm sure they feel bad and all, but I have never really felt a high level of passion and intensity on this team this year. I chalk that up to a lack of leadership.
Delete"This all started with a spear by Prust!'
ReplyDeleteVideo clearly shows Anderson hacking away at Prust.
Prust weilds a hachet and Anderson comes back with a chain saw
DeleteWell, could be worse. You could have spent $300 on a ticket to this mess.
ReplyDeleteMore like $3000, thats for two
DeleteWHY THE FUCK IS THERE NOTHING FOR ANDERSON?????????????????????????
ReplyDeleteFucking salt on a wound. I believed in you, Habs, you let me down.
ReplyDeletemisery building on misery oh the humanity
ReplyDeleteI hope they burn down whatever cabin they stayed in in Tremblant.
ReplyDeletemaybe they all have bedbugs?
DeleteTerrible. But on the flip side both of these teams will go nowhere in the second round.
ReplyDeleteSens, maybe, I don't don't believe that for the Habs.
DeleteHabs find ways of playing up or down to their opposition.
DeleteThere's no excuse for this moe. They had them right where they wanted them.
DeleteHere it is: They win this series somehow and get destroyed in the next round and nothing gets fixed next year. Or, they complete the collapse and, hopefully, something snaps for next season.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to be positive. Because fuck this team right now. Fuck 'em hard.
Intensity level needs to be cranked up. Need to wipe the smirks off those faces and shut up the SFU.
ReplyDeleteOk, I was wrong and we're going to Ottawa for OSED in their barn! that will wipe those smirks of their fucking faces.
ReplyDeleteGood night all, thanks again moeman.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything more useless than a hockey player interview?
ReplyDelete"I thought we played a good game tonight"
You're either a liar or an idiot. Either, I'm not getting any new information here.
The only players to score since G2: Weise and Gilbert.
ReplyDeleteCameron crying more and more about how "cheap" the Habs are. Man, I just want these drama queens gone.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, I'm not defending what Prust did at the end. But can the coach just stop whining for 5 minutes.

So although we like to say it's not DDD's fault that MT keeps putting him there, obviously the coach would respond to him saying it's not the best decision for the team. And in case it's not blindingly clear, him being the #1 center is not the best decision for the team.
-The EGG line was reunited for one shift this year. They produced a goal. They have not been put back together since, despite all of the line mixing that has been tried.
-As mentioned, Lego only got 3 minutes of ice in the 1st period, and one of the lowest totals for the game. Despite that, he got the most shots (tied with others), the most shot attempts and the best Corsi (which I don't understand, but I know it's good) despite having the most d-zone starts. DDD was one of two Habs without a shot attempt, along with (Y)Emelin.
Thank goodness it was sunny and warm (have I mentioned that yet?) otherwise these things would have eaten me up today. In closing I'd like to also point out that the Pens' 5 game exit this season is their quickest departure since 2007. Can anyone guess who their coach was at that time? Yes, he got them to the 2008 finals. And then he got them to a .500 record the next year before he was ousted, they went on a tear and then won the Cup. As I always say, it's not about this year (I don't think the 2015 Habs are the 2009 Pens). It's about the next few years. My greatest fear isn't losing this series, it's looking back in 5 years and having a 2014 ECF as the best result for this team.
Maybe I'm taking it all too seriously, though. Too much vitamin D from that blazing sun today got me dizzy. I should just get my AC dusted off instead of worrying about this stuff.
GO HABS GO! and all that.
Everyone reading this blog is well centered and able to judge the world as it is. Evidence is important in making that declartion and exepct or OLEG I have to say Habs fans on this site are all in Universe 1. I do not mention it much any more but I walk the astral plane and thats an expericence you can not really buy, unless your dealer has good LSD. Do not confuse science with morality watch Fringe if you do not already know the differance.
ReplyDeleteSo I have been probing the alternative universe and come to the conculsion we win the next game. Do not confuse this with a prediction.
Despite all the problems with this team, I believe they won't lose 4 straight to the turds. If the Wings can manage to knock off the Bolts, I think they can handle them. I wouldn't bet a nickel on them beating TB though. Then...who know.
ReplyDeleteBut if MT doesn't adjust by changing up the PP, sitting $, gCHuk, or Patches (i won't even suggest ddd), then nothing will come easy.
"In their long history, the Canadiens have held a 3-0 lead in a best-of-seven series 32 times and never lost. In fact, they’ve never been taken to a Game 7 after leading a series 3-0."
ReplyDeleteVery encouraging. GYMFHG
Delete"The New York Rangers may not be all that encouraged after making history in their opening-round series victory over thePittsburgh Penguins.
ReplyDeleteWhile the Rangers managed to dispose of the Penguins in five games, it wasn't due to an abundance of offense.
What makes this even more dubious is the fact the Penguins were without three of their top defensemen in the series, namely Kris Letang, Christian Ehrhoff and Olli Maatta.
Most notably, regular season goal leader Rick Nash (42) was held to one goal in five games, while Martin St. Louis - who ranked second with 21 - failed to hit the back of the net.
The Rangers did manage to contain superstars Sidney Crosby andEvgeni Malkin, but will need to get the sticks going if they're going to return to the Stanley Cup Final."
So much for those saying the Habs can't score.
Per Elias, NYR just 2nd team in NHL history to score 2 goals or fewer in all 4 wins in a playoff series, as they did vs. #Penguins.

ReplyDeleteOne of the good, nice, guys. Condolences.
DeleteI took Saturday to contemplate what happened Friday night. I stated very early that the Habs would be in trouble if they didn't cash in early. They had the chances given to them. A pp which yielded fuck All set the pace for the game. They had a lot of shots...but a lot of the shots were easy stops for Anderson. I'm too lazy to research it but how many games did the Habs lose this year when they had over 40 shots? I suspect not too many...playoff hockey is opportunist hockey and the Habs didn't take advantage of the opportunities. Back to Anderson - why the fuck he didn't get at least a minor for his assault on Charger I will never understand...the ref was standing right there...tonight's game is going to be another intense affair with the turds trying to hit everything that moves...if the Habs can play their own game, weather that first 10 minutes and actually get a few decent shots on Anderson (he isn't that good!) then I think that they will be o. JUST FUCKING WIN, go Habs go!
ReplyDeleteWe have owned the turds, all we have to do it Ca$h the fucking ownership.
ReplyDeleteMT will make a 'bold' move I think PAPS will be in tonight.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he has a choice. I mean that literally, I bet MB has told him to put PAP in the line up. So who comes out? I'm thinking either Flynn or DLR.
DeleteI have a new good luck CHarm. My daughter came home last night on a break has taken up beading and made me a pair of beaded earrings that are the CH logo.
