The Good The Bad & The Ugly - Round 2, Game 2 - Habs vs Bruins
- Thread starter XPOFAN
- Start date
Come on, Markov was horrid on the PP. How about when he brought it in then coughed it up on the boards because he thought he could get around 2 bruins. He got beat at least twice. Once in the beginning and then again big time in the third period, and Price made huge saves. Then how about near the end in our zone that giveaway. Prust, you think he got a lot of ice time? Max didn't cost us this game. 55 redirected one, and then partially screened another, bad luck yes.
I think he's old enough to dress himself

That!
What's with the doomsday attitude? One game at a time, need to come out strong in the 1st Monday night and put a couple past Rask & Therrien needs to use the last change to his advantage - re: separate Bergeron & Chara from the 1st line.

Why bother, the Bruins were undressing him all game.

Losing this one hurt. We had a real shot of heading back to Montreal up by two. Up 3-1 with less than nine minutes to go and when the dust clears it's 4-3 with three minutes left is completely unacceptable. Two games in a row blowing two goal leads is unacceptable. This is playoff hockey. If we think we can coast the last period and walk away winners, we are very badly mistaken. Boston put on the intensity and kept the pedal down and played a hard 120 minutes of hockey in the last two games in regulation time. No one here on this board would say the same for the Habs. We should win this series and all we're doing is being our own worst enemy. If we don't play with intensity the whole game, this happens. I hope Therrien works them hard to remember that.

Oh wise one blessed with 20-20 vision, what could MT have done differently to ensure victory? Perhaps a glorious fan base in tears awaits relief.
Myself, I refuse to recognize the scapegoats in your mind.
Instead, I'm happy to move on to Game 3.

hell....we played better in the third than the other periods....just the bruins started finding the back of the net
they were in danger of going back to montreal 2 games down
they are the best team in the league
they are the best team in third periods
they sucked for the first 10 misn
they got the bounces

I agree. This series tied at 1 is pretty fair value at this point.
Habs need more from their top line going forward.

It's not a scapegoat oh jackass.
People are blaming certain players when, ultimately, failure falls on the coach.
What could he have done? Realized that they blew a two goal lead Thursday and not used his timeout early in the third? I realize the recent penchant of using it to rest players but in a playoff scenario, perhaps the timeout is better used later on?
How about sitting those that weren't listening to his direction as you, and others, seem certain Therrien was barking at them to press and they weren't.
How about using the old switch goalies trick to buy some time when the Bruins were all over them?
How about anticipating this is what the Bruins do, since they did it Thursday, and in turn having a plan already set up?
Therrien was a spectator to a disaster. He shouldn't be paid millions to spectate. He's as culpable as Bouillon, Gionta, Max... whomever you may feel didn't do their job.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
It's not just the games against Boston. They were playing with fire in the Tampa series too. Only difference was that the Bolts weren't good enough to make the Habs pay. But you could see the warning signs throughout that series and you knew just by looking that they'd never get away with it against the Bruins.
Tampa was a bigger fraud than the Habs. Beating them, even in four straight, was nothing to get excited about, especially when their #1 goalie was unavailable to play. It's easy to hide deficiencies in your game when you're playing against a team as mediocre as Tampa. But teams like the Bruins expose those weaknesses.
