Notes on the First Period
-Thanks to shitty programming interruptions I missed the Goal by Pacioretty, whoops.
-What the hell another interruption? I’m pretty annoyed.
- Ok, so while this is like that, lets talk about the current losing.
The Canadiens are losing, and seem to have no upside, It took Carboneau about 2.5 years, to take over from Bob Gainey coaching to taking over the Helm, having a great season losing in the second round to struggling the next year and being fired after being swept in the first round by the Bruins. Then Martin took over the helm led them to the conference finals only to lose to the flyers who went on to barely hang on vs the Hawks. To last year pushing the now current cup champs lame ass Bruins to overtime of a seventh game facing injuries, and giving up a 2-0 game lead, to ….this.
They’re not doing well, in fact I haven’t seen them give up wins like this in years, take the lead, or even look one or two steps behind every team in every game, barely hanging on. There’s only so much a team can do, or star players can do before the team starts to slide completely.
Who is to blame? Is it Jaques Martin? Is it Pierre Gauthier? I solidly believe it’s the GM. Martin can take teams to do good things, look what he did with the senators, but back then they were stacked with solid players all over, but he did also ignore his young players for shitty fourth line grinders…..looks familiar. I think its both, Gauthier did nothing this off season except sign a guy with one leg who can’t play on either leg until January at this point…and….nothing else really comes to mind save for Diaz. Stupidly enough he took a solid awesome center in Betts but I guess the doctors found a phantom illness in him and gave him back, now they have Nokelainen, who is solid, in the AHL.
Something has to change and has to be done. Ok well that’s enough ignoring play that has come back.
-Versteeg scores, what the hell? Why?
-Well, its kinda nice to not have Ed Jovanovski in phoenix, god damn I hated him so much, look at him, terrible decisions made on ice. Never hits the net.
-How the hell did Markstrom make that save, he’s not even higher than a foot off the ground on his back and Pac spins and instead of lifting the puck fires it along the ice straight into his glove. Sigh LIFT IT.
-Oh Look, Jovo is trying ot act tough with Moen, back off, did you not learn when you got your ass knocked out by Matt Walker?
-and speaking of shitty players, Why the hell is Budaj in net? Why was he signed? Did Gauthier not read my 2011 NHL Dubious Awards post? Come on man, I pay attention to hockey.
-The Panthers are one of the worst teams in years gone by, they shouldn’t be allowed by the Canadiens to skate around with the puck with such ease in the offensive zone.
Period over, boring hockey, over for this period too.
I'm honestly a little surprised the game is tied.
Second Period Notes:
-I guess I’m watching the Panthers casting because boy oh boy, I’m being told a bunch of shit about the panthers I give no crap about.
-Love that Subban is just toying with the panthers when he gets the puck, “you comin to get it? Ok bye!”
-Good to see that Diaz has some jets, nice to see when Subban doesn’t have to be on the ice to catch the play.
-I’m not a big fan of the panthers, its kind of hilarious they keep trying to keep them afloat when they’re equally or worse than the coyotes in attendance, and often, I mean they freaking tarp off sections of seating to count it as less seats in the house to have better attendance? Cheating Much?
-I don’t think giving the save fo the game to the Panthers goalie early in the first is a good idea, but then again Price isn’t playing so the Habs defense is playing a more collapsed way around Budaj knowing he’s not as reliable.
-I like PK being exuberant, he makes the game more fun, but calling him for a penalty when the other player had him tied up? Retarded
-WHAT A SAVE BY BUDAJ wow, didn’t think i’d say that did you? Neither did i! ON a breakaway too
-and he leaves the net and the defense has to make the saves for him. Wow! Weiss is tearing it up, but not on the scoreboard.
-They’re trying everything!
-And their powerplay is over!
-The Canadiens are starting to fight back, it’s kinda nice to see that.
-Weber has a canon why does it only get used once every other game? SHOOT THE PUCK MORE DUDE.
-Patch with the good shot, and immediately with a bad penalty
- And back into the defensive, I just realized, we have a few too many defensive grinder type players, theres lots of good ones but oto many doesn’t get it done.
-Is it me or are the panthers against me? I keep having play stoppages. Now back to play.
-I’m a little bummed the Canadiens make a shitty trade for Nokelainen and the panthers traded David booth, that totally sucks, we could have used him.
Notes on the Third
-Too much fancy stickhandling makes players give up the puck, sometimes its great but you gotta cut down on overdoing it, looking at you Eller.
-Man, screw Upshall, stupid Budaj
-After further review, Damn It!
-That hook should have had a penalty, how the hell did Kulikov get away with that?
-RANDOM FACT OF THE DAY: did you know Kevin Constantine was a goaltender in the Canadiens System?
-Come on guys, PICK IT UP!!!!
-There are way too many turnovers, I thought Jaques Martin had a system for defense and offense? I wonder if Martin is puking at the lack of offense.
-If Fleischman is the guy crashing your net you have a defensive problem.
-Jesus, they get the puck give it away at the blue line end up offside and dump it and back it comes. Communicate boys.
-Stephen Weiss is on fire, why can’t we have him?
Sorry, missed the last few minutes of the game, I got some news that just blew my mind, I may make a blog about it, if not I’ll mention it.
