Come on i know you are pissed, but you can't blame Monty on this, he helped us get a point.. the boys were not skating, no urgency what so ever.. if the boys can't close it then they don't deserve to play in the playoffs,. something to haunt them all summer..

I don't think its a lack of urgency at all. They probably blew a tire keeping the Leafs off the scoreboard for 3 periods. Then they got the yips.

There's a difference between blaming, which I'm not, and hoping a goalie steps up, which he did not.

Marty told Demidov he’s 4th shooter. He should’ve been 3rd shooter

You have to put 14 in as 3rd.. Laine has scored in the shootout so i see why he was there..

 

[Habspatrol]

Do we even want to make the playoffs? If this is the effort we get... it'll be a quick out.

 

[Habsy]

Vets looked really slow and D was totally lost. Some poor decisions were costly, especially Guhle’s.

Guhle played stupidly tonight

 

[lecoqsportif]

Don't get me started. He simply can't be Demidov's center.

Well no. He’s not a top 6.

 

[CH1]

The team looks absolutely gassed. They’ve basically been playing elimination games since mid February

It is true that the Habs playoffs started a month ago. But tonight was ripe for the picking...especially with a 2-0 lead at home

I thought he stepped up, he bailed us out so many times tonight

 

[Habsy]

When you have Demidov on the bench? No I don't see Laine as top 3. 4th out I can understand.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Islanders and Flyers will also be playing loose.

These Habs have no excuses. Need one win and lose three straight.

They’re both going to just lay down and fold to screw us and you know it. Were doomed

 

[Habsy]

Naw. Not enough.

Stepping up was what Dobes did.

Monty wasn't bad but he didn't step up.

No I don't know that and I don't believe Roy will let his team do that.

They needed to tighten up right there and then. 1-4. Hubris to play open. Way too loose.

No excuses. Clinch earlier then to rest.

 

[Rolex]

Monty should’ve stopped 2 of the goals, and we needed him to step up in SO

I know what you are saying, put that is a lot to put on a kid, you have to go with the guys that got you there..imo

Coaching

 

[Rolex]

Hawks goalie was much better

 

[Fred the Man]

And the blow it. Ultimate backing into the playoffs since they don’t beat Carolina. An OT lose is enough or Columbus does not win both games in regulation. Can’t make it easy for themselves.

Demidov got us to SO. Laine sucked again.
