They better win after last night's performance.

 

[hairnova]

Think there will be any changes other than Allen starting?

 

[Habsy]

Yes. I think Kulak and Perry draw back in.

 

[hairnova]

Yeah I expect Julien to put the blame on Mete for taking two penalties that the Leafs scored on. Wouldn't dare sit any of the other guys besides Romanov.

There had been some talk about Frolik getting in this weekend but don't know who would sit. Byron played his best game of the year last night so wouldn't make sense to take him out.

 

[wiseguy1]

I think its time Drouin sat out, 3 assists , 0 goals in last nine 9 games.

 

[Habsy]

Special teams are once again atrocious. The PK is an absolute joke and you'd think it wouldn't be with the makeup of the team. They're still letting high danger chances from the slot consistently. As bad as the PK has been, the PP has been worse. Special teams are the Habs downfall and a primary reason they lose

 

[Habsy]

I still don't understand why they play so poorly with last change.

Habs are 6-0-2 on the road. 3-5 at home. 3-5. Five losses in your own barn. It's ridiculous.

Fuck those blue jerseys too. 0-3.

 

[Habsy]

Glaringly bipolar. Really makes no sense.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Sounds like a coaching issue to me

 

[Habsy]

Same coach on the road.

If they continue to play like this I'll be wanting them to play on the road in the playoffs.

 

[CH1]

Same coach on the road.

If they continue to play like this I'll be wanting them to play on the road in the playoffs.

but without last change, less in game coaching

I was mostly responding to the special team comment.

Not sure if it's a home-away thing or simply catching teams early in the season.

 

[hairnova]

Belzile has been recalled to the taxi squad, seems like a pretty telling sign that Perry or Frolik will be in the lineup tonight.

It's definitely a home /away issue at this point. They look so much worse at home and yes I know it's just a jersey but they have been awful every time they wear those blues. Not bad mind you, awful.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Yeah i never want to see those blue jerseys again.

 

[hairnova]

Only three more games! haha.

 

[GGpX]

I'm glad some of you are finally coming to your senses. The blue jerseys are fucking dreadful.

 

[Krustchev]

They better win after last night's performance.

The Leafs are just better. They have Matthews, we have nothing even close to that.

 

[GEEMAN]

They have 2 magicians upfront , we dont.
