  1. repost from SiM: (This paragraph from Brian Wilde's write-up)

    "There’s a moment late in this one with the Habs up 3-2 with a chance to seal the win. Josh Anderson has just missed a gimme on a sweet pass from Kotkaniemi. The puck comes back out to the slot where Jonathan Drouin has a chance, but he can’t finish either. Here’s the thing though: Drouin does a fly-by. He’s got two goals this season. Why? Because he’s too often doing fly-bys. You have to stay in the crease, like Gallagher does, to score goals. You can’t time your moment in the crease area for one-tenth of a second hoping the puck comes out at that precise moment, then you leave the area. You have to stay in the area for as long as it takes. That’s probably going to hurt though. They’re going to cross-check you across the back. That hurts. They’re going to slash you across the wrist. That also hurts. They’re going to punch you in the face. That hurts too. Goals often mean pain. You have to sacrifice. Fly-bys don’t cut it. This doesn’t cut it."

    uk3x said ditto. and i totally agree with this analysis. ide like to further point out that kid-G does this EVERY shift as well and he is prob same size as druid? so having said that, size doesnt factor into desire to score dirty goals. is it safe to say we all agree on this?

    having said that, ide like to introduce everybody to my own personal source of frustration: GIJoel.

  2. I just want to say one thing about this critical game before I lose my train of thought. Why dont we have a high speed train between Montreal and Calgary?

  3. cause that requires a border crossing and we arent even their biggest trading partner

  4. Shirly this team can be serious for two games. Its if you ask 29 like passing the bar, you do one or two things right and then you can coast till the payoff. We win two games and we can fuck around for 15. Thats my style.

    1. i was thinking (worried about) the same thing. is it better to lock it up now and somehow go into the playoffs lethargic, rusty, and cold? or is it better to have some kind of pressure pushing you towards that goal?

      im inclined to agree with you so that you can have time toplay around with line-up trials, figure out a playoff role for CC, blow it up and re-build the PP... but coaches are always too conservative to experiment trying new things...

  5. I an lothe to talk business or politics on this sports blog. However sometime the intersection or venn diagram just rips the internal censor from the contributor. Narco has embraced NFT, for you who dont know what an NFT is, think pet rock without something you can actually touch.

      I know what NFT's are (Non Fungable Tokens),you are basically selling cyber space cards that are stored in the Block Chain whatever that is. When that chain breaks or collapses you are fucked. Somebody has your coin and you have a memory.

  44. What I never understand is why a coach would ever change a team that has just won a game. Habs beat the leaf without Army and with 7's in the game. Army isn't the 2nd coming of Guy Lafleur and 7's is playing well. Leave shit alone! If the Habs were to have lost without Army, then they bring him in next game, Now that they lost with him in - do they sit him or does someone else get moved in? The chemistry of this team is fucked right up the ass! No wonder they are playing like a group of guys who meet up in a beer league - sometimes on fire- mostly just playing...Fuck sake...by the only team that can catch the Habs for 4th place are the Flames - Habs didn't play like that was the case at all! (Rant over)

    1. This is quite the case. I think they had Meat for the TO game, but it was wrong to putz around with the line-up for the sake of inserting GI Joel (for some reason Ducharme is high on him - one of the reasons I'm not high on Ducharme). KidKoho plays well every night even when others don't. Sevans too, albeit with a lower ceiling. I find Tyder's play has fallen off. He takes too long with the puck and ends up having it taken away from him. And BBQ is on a see-saw between playing coherently within his limits, and trying to do things he can no longer do - always seemingly a huge surprise to him. With this schedule, they should rest him here and there. Dish too.

    Top 4 D should be 26 + 44, 27 + 77. Put Weber in bottom pairing with the new guy. He should never be on the PP again.

    Replies
    1. almost correct bigM, though i think cpt bbq still has a role on the PP.

      these situations being...
      - when one of 26, 27, 77, 90 are not available
      - when a hail mary save-your season or else somebody gets fired goal is needed

      Delete
    2. in regards to your d-pairing... ive always felt a slow/steady guy should be paired with a fast/offensive guy.

      thus... it really bugs me when dish and kadilak work well together or when kadilak and romeo work well together or somehow when two slow guys like chariot and cpt bbq do well together

  46. I might need to take a mental break from these guys. Guess I'll test my fortitude tomorrow night.

    ReplyDelete
  47. sorry guys... still on cpt bbq...

    what happened here? his first two years (albeit w/ injuries) were mostly as advertised and was the reason why barginbin has no GM friends. looking at him now... i cant ignore any longer those wacko fans who say he should be traded to seattle for a pick/left exposed in the summer...

    looking at him since ~ november, his d-game is none better (or prob worse now) than PFK's when he was vilified for poor d-play all those yrs. maybe just me, but it seems like game after game, there is always one guaranteed bonehead play. the worse part is cpt bbq doesnt do any hitting anymore (aside from the usual grey area shove in the back into the boards). the worst worst part is that he doesnt deliver bruising open ice hits anymore, but then again, did he ever?

  48. last thought before i go set myself on fire.

    before last night, with all things considered, i was just about to post that losing would have been inexcusable. then i read somebody's post about cinching it up so that they could rest and coast into the playoffs. that changed my mind so then i felt like it was important to keep the heat on so they wouldnt get sloppy waiting for playoffs to start. now that ive watched it actually happen, im back to being super mad.

    wpg and edm dont really scare me and i think a match-up vs tml is a 50/50. what scares me is playing somebody like cgy. i remember that last game in cgy which was darryls first. last night wasnt as tight and to be fair, there were two posts which would have resulted in a loser pt, but im still mad at the lack of ability to impose on your tired, desperate and fragile opponent.

  50. we will limp into the playoffs and as an older person I know, when staring at all the ways I can die, I become momentarily stronger. So we ice half the geriatrics at a time, feed off this old man strength and rotate our way to the parade.

  51. Cole's in the Cash Cab from Laval to Montreal. I was hoping they'd keep him in Laval, but when your lone goal scorer is a guy who last scored more than 2 calendar years ago...it was inevitable. Could play Saturday night. I hope his new mates are ready to protect him.
