Pretty much...blame it on lack of production that is now playing mind games on the coach.
When you cant score you are always thinking defense.

It was the first shift. He had pleks matched with him all night. Pleks and Bryon had a scoring chance. Their goalie stopped our shot and ours did what he did best all night, let in goals.

If Price played well tonight everyone would be talking about how Julien shut down the leafs offensive. Not his fault the price was wrong yet again.

Maybe next time, instead of trying to defend in overtime, you try to...i dunno...score?!
good one..you know our offense sucks..when you are averaging a goal a game before tonight and the other coach throws out arguably one of the best forwards in the game you have little faith in scoring so you try and dodge that first bulit and ho head to head with Kadri or BoZak

Nope, not with that player on the ice against you.
Why not? He scored anyway.

So what he wanted to keep that match up going. Pleks was fine against him. Pleks and bryon had a scoring chance as well. Their goalie made the save.

It's 3 on 3. If the coach doesn't know that defense is near impossible playing pond hockey he shouldn't be a damn coach in the nhl.
Take you best forwards, tell them to go score.
But no,3 on 3 and the habs try to play prevent defense.
He was fine against him 5 on 5. He can't keep up with Matthews 3 on 3. And, moreover, the goal is score. 14 is done doing that. 92 and 27 should have started the OT. Dumb coaching.

I don't think so. Byron was out there for his speed vs those two.
Why should of 67 been out there? He did nothing all game.

Benn looks really bad. Davidson looked ok and he can atlest put the puck on a forwards stick. Once DS comes back Benn should sit.
I don't know why either, especially since I didn't say he should have been out there.

Thought you put 67. Either way I have no issue with CJ starting those two on the first shift. 92/27 would have been a good pairing to go out right after.

I am among those who wanted nothing to do with Julien, and couldn't believe the euphoria his hiring was generating.I did not dislike Therrien as much as most, either. And going back further,I wanted nothing to do with Bergevin when he as hired.
The fact Bergevin jumped when Julien was available is just one in a long line of events that showed he does not have a clue. But, by then we knew that for some time.
A mess.

Yes, I'm kidding people.
I was also tired of Therrien. Wanting Therrien gone does not equate to thinking Julien is any better.
This is the one issue I have with wanting Bergevin gone. While I strongly believe he needs to go, I have concern that Molson will just hire someone as bad, or worse.
This "must speak French" requirement is a serious hindrance in obtaining the best possible candidates. There were rumors that Babcock had some interest in the Montreal job, why wasn't Therrien immediately fired then?
