Blame the shitty calls and bad bounces etc but what it comes down to is the coach is a ****ing dolt and the team isn't as good as people think. Yet another "disappointing loss". Whatever. I can't stand the way Therrien makes this team play.
The penalty kill and Price kept us in the game. I like the bounce back but we really need another top 6 dude to balance the lineup and take on teams like the Hawks.
The team actually played well, they were even with the Hawks for most of the night and lost on a bad bounce.
A better bounce just a few minutes earlier on Galchenyuk hitting the post or seconds before the rebound bouncing over Desharnais' stick gets a better bounce the Habs win.
Overall i think there are signs here of coming out of the slump, just like there were signs of it starting it before.
Some people still don't believe Therrien is a dolt.
He'll keep doing hat until he's desperate enough to put Sekac on the Pacioretty line and when it works the dolt apologists will will buy his garbage claims that he wasn't ready until then and therefore it was Therrien that prospect whispered him into being successful on the top line.
Team played well .It sucks to lose it like we did at end of game . This team still is way far away from being a contender .Yes i agree playing Sekac on 4th was ugly !
Let's see something like this... or even swap AG and DD around.
Max Pacioretty - Alex Galchenyuk - Jiri Sekac
David Desharnais - Tomas Plekanec - Brendan Gallagher
Eric Tangradi - Lars Eller - PA Parenteau
Brandon Prust - Manny Malhotra - Dale Weise
