Habs just have a lack of offensive talent,all the can do is dump and chase and hope they can get the puck in the other end ,I also think we are being out coached
Go Habs Go!

Dépendamment de l'article que tu lis tu vas peux être avoir une version différentes , bien-sûr qu'il a un contexte si tu prend pas le temps de lire ...
De mémoire l'article en anglais dit que le deal allait se faire mais que c'est la ligue qui la cancellé un autre dit que c'était une rumeur. Si la ligue la vraiment cancellé c'est pas un si ...
Bref je cherche pas a partir une chicane
Vous faites ce que vous voulez de l'information ...
Sans rancune alan, ça prend une victoire à soir pour qu’on arrête de parler de vielles histoires. Le spirit est pas tellement là mais faut pas remonter à si loin que ça pour se rappeler que les Habs de 2010 avait sorti Washington en 7 après avoir gagné le premier match et perdre les trois suivants. On avait des trios quand même particuliers avec des gars comme Kostitsyn, Plekanec et Cammalleri ensemble et aussi Gionta, Gomez et Moen/Pouliot! J’ai adoré cette run en Playoffs. JUST WIN BABY! GO HABS GO!
Mets-en les jeunes!! On doit vivre ou on doit mourir avec Kotkaniemi, Suzuki et Caufield. Ça me fait même crissement suer qui fasse pas jouer Romanov, c’est de la grosse expérience qui pourrait acquérir...
As soon as Galchenyuk made that pass I knew the game was over. By the time the pass hit Caufield's stick I had yelled out, "that's game!" That being said, I feel terrible for Galchenyuk because that has to be one of the most mindless passes I ever saw. I was wondering if any of you guys sent him empathetic messages on social media? Honestly, I do not even know what you could say to him about that pass.
If I may be so bold as to criticize Caufield, I think he should have taken the shot, in that situation he had a better angle to put power moves and a power shot on Jack "Soup" Campbell, but instead a cute pass to Suzuki which honestly took Suzuki by surprise. But Suzuki recovered quickly to score a goal off a sudden and unexpected pass. I wonder if the Montreal coaches, after all the hysteria died down, talked to Caufield about being a little more selfish, holding the puck longer, faking the pass to Suzuki, getting Campbell to cheat towards Suzuki's side, and then hit Campbell with a power shot high to his left once Campbell cheats right towards Suzuki's side?

qui auront payé le gros prix....alors faut pas les décevoir de même que les très nombreux fixé à leur écran.....on met le paquet .Gulchenyak is going for revenge since he's got the opportunity to do some damage to his former team, after
the previous game performance I think he was feeling that he was "The Man" ...
Caufield pass (Or should have not ???), do we really care about how many passes as long as the puck goes in,
we are having tough time to score, so now we gonna criticize our passing game ???
Looking forward for two though matches (With improved, unnecessary passing and all) etc etc .
Just a Friday morning after Habs winning relieved response here.
The "objective" announcers on NBCSN were questioning whether Caufield should have passed, so it was not something I made up. It was a 2-0 break, and of course you have to score on it and it doesn't matter how, but paying attention to smaller details is what determines what side of the line you are on between winning and losing tight games. And the fact of the matter is Suzuki was surprised to have received that pass, go watch the replay. It's a credit to him that he put it away.
Sports announcers/analysts are there to fill in the silence. Not the first time and last time we hear pointless/stupid comments from them.
I don't believe Suzuki was surprised... rather the puck was a bit forward and not flat... he had to take the shot a bit on a weird angle...
Still that was definitely the play to make... move the goalie three times he's doomed for sure. They would have been benched if these two passes weren't there...

I am a Rangers fan, not a Whalers fan- your geography is off because I was much closer to NYC than Hartford at that time. I went to one Whalers game the entire time they played in CT, in 1986, against the Habs. Montreal won the game and all of the fights in the game, and Chris Nilan was in the middle of all of those fights. Do you even remember him? The Habs won the Stanley Cup later that year. I suspect some of you guys (except Cruiser) were not born or still breast feeding at that time. Other than Cruiser, who in this thread actually saw the 1986 Habs play?

Oh hell yeah I saw them win that year... I turned 10 just 2 months later... that was awesome... what a series that was... Claude Lemieux goal was the best I've seen!!! Not pretty but it counts!!!
You should mentioned that some might not even seen their last cup in 93
You may remember that Chris Nilan was the "tough guy" on the 1986 team. Some years later I recall him giving a "mea culpa" interview in which he said he was ashamed of his fighting in hockey. It was on one of the mainstream TV stations. He is an American from Boston. All time American record holder in NHL penalty minutes. There is a movie about him called "The Last Gladiators", by Alex Gibney who also did the excellent documentary film on Eliot Spitzer called Client Number 9.
I still remember a much better enforcer than Nilan.
I never saw him lose a fight No 22 , John Ferguson.
I will never forget his fight with Boston enforcer Ted Green that was replayed for years.
Ferguson was not a big guy but he was so stable on the ice and he was a former boxer who knew how to use his fists.
I think those times are gone, while it was entertaining, I prefer hockey for the skills players have not their fighting ability.

Nilan was listed as 6'0", 205 pounds, not big, but he looked bigger than that to me when I saw him in person.
By the way, Nilan holds 3 impressive NHL records: most penalty minutes in one playoffs (141), most penalty minutes per game (4.42), and most penalties in one game (10, while playing with the Bruins against the Whalers). He was impressively consistent with the toughness and did win his share of fights and all of them in the game I saw against the Whalers.
...et 100,000 autres partisans déchênés à l’extérieur du Centre Bell sur l'Avenue des Canadiens!...Beat the Leafs! Beat the Leafs!....rvous demain soir au Centre Bell 19h30....et devant 2500 fans
Nilan was a product of Southy! Great guy, I met him at a boxing gala event at the Four Seasons!
The "Brawl in the Hall" was my all time favorite!...I wished that Nilan on his way to the hallway could have beaten the crap out of the "rat" and "schmuck" Linseman who like the rat and pussy he always was all he was capable of doing was to scratch Nilan in the face and run away somewhere in the catacombs of the Garden or run and hide in the garbage dumps outside the Garden near the tracks with the rest of the rats!!!
Nilan vs Miller ...two good 'ol boys from Beantown!
