give you a break for what? defending a trash team?

let's say they get back on track, what's the point? are you confident this team can win the stanley cup? are you confident this team's future looks good?
So they go from a multi 100 point team under Therrien to the worst team in the league under Julien? Makes sense. I don't think they can't make a cup final, but I also don't think this is the worst team in history and everything needs to be torn down.

yes that's what teams do, they change. This is not Therrien's team, this is a significantly worse team, and players who overplayed in the past aren't overplaying

I don't think this is the worst team in history, but a lot of things need to be torn down, starting with management.

Look at that defensive squad, a team of people got together and decided that this was a solid group. They didn't even account for Mete making the team, they planned to have zero puck moving defensemen in the lineup.

we had one, we traded him for a dman who's already slowing down

"Significantly worse"

Yes if only we could have Therrien, Desharnais, Emelin, Flynn, King, Barberio, Beaulieu, Martinsen, Ott, and Redmond back we'd be division title holders again! Losing Markov with no obvious replacement is a huge gaffe on Bergevins part, but losing him doesn't take this team from the top to the bottom.

I 100% don't think the defence was ever great and Bergevin claiming otherwise is him saving face, but when you are one of the* top shooting team in the league and you have the best goalie in tbe league you should be able to compensate for that, but it's an obvious fuck up on Bergevins part.

you're ignoring the players progression/regression/aging in your statement. Pretty convenient

2017 Galchenyuk is significantly worse than past Galchenyuk
2017 Pacioretty is significantly worse than past Pacioretty, injuries, aging
2017 Weber is significantly slower than past Weber, aging
2017 Petry is significantly slower than past Petry, aging
2017 Gallagher is broken, as compared to being a 20 goal scorer, injuries
2017 Danault isn't overplaying anymore, he's back to normal
2017 Lekhonen isn't overplaying anymore, he's back to normal
2017 Markov is gone

That's the majority of our top 6 F, and the majority of our top 4 D

just go back to not posting until Galchenyuk scores his monthly goal, and then you can tell us "told u he's good"

You know how much of this is stretching, and it's ridiculous.

So when does Price start getting some heat from the media? .800 save percentage is an absolute joke.
He's already called himself out and media have said he's not at his level or where he needs to be. What else is there to say?

How about that when you're making $175,000 PER GAME there is an expectation of performance. Tonight he lost the game for them (again) minutes into it.
 
I swear to all that is holy if the scratches I heard on my roof are not a fucking squirrel and are instead that cunty attic crawling motherfucker bat I got rid of months ago I will lose my shit so hard holy hell

As if the Wild letting me down again wasnt enough I get this shit again goddamnit

what difference would it make, the habs would still have cap space. If the habs were at the roof, and the extra money could have gone somewhere than complain.

why do you jump on price all the time
cant blame just one player for this, price should be sharing the heat with the rest of the organization.

I don't think I've jumped on Price prior to this season since like 2010. He's been the savior for the past 6 years.

But he has been dogshit this year.

This team could rebound during the season, win the Stanley cup and you guys would still be saying "they didn't deserve it", "they got too lucky", "Patcioretty is still a shitty captain", "Price won it for them"

It's such lazy narratives.

well there you go, just take 30 shots a period and hope to score 1

#volumeShootingTeam
Like this. Apparently the worst team in history can put 30 SOG in one period.

yeah i'm lazy and "always negative"

I literally unironically predicted we were winning the cup last year

still believing in McCarron and Timmins isn't crazy tho

whatever

and only score once, against a goalie who isn't stealing anything. Jan Bulis was also really good at shooting right on the goalie, bring him back

I just got to watch the replay of the Avalanche game. According to the rule book that should have Not been reviewable and counted as a goal, however, as an avalanche fan I do have to admit it was offsides.

Does the concept of a teams shooting percentage escape you? Do you actually understand how abnormal and impossible the teams shooting percentage is? If they can continue to out shoot teams like this, they scoring will come. Bryon will not be the teams leading scorer at the end of the season and Patches will not have 6 goals in May. I don't know why this is such a hard concept to grasp. The team was always going to be a low scoring team but there's a massive difference in low scoring, and a 3% shooting percentage.
