maybe they should put darche with cam and pleks, at least he could show them the right way to work (especially cam). The guy was blocking shots when we were down 3-0 at the end of the third period..

Darche doesn't work the way Plekanec and Cammalleri do. Darche's job hockey-wise is much more simpler than the latter's. That's why he's paid less.
When the players and the coach keep on saying that they need to work harder is because they either have absolutely no idea what else to do to find a solution or it's simply a waste of time and too long to come up with an elaborate hockey answer. It's an easy pre-fabricated answer in time of difficulty.
What's happening on the ice with the habs is pretty simple:
There's no confidence at all, so they freeze instead of playing because they're afraid to make the mistake that will cost the game. And that's why they look like they aren't trying. When the opposing team plays better than them and seem as hungry or even more hungry for the puck, they panic and play even worse. When the game is open and the neutral zone is a figure skating rink, the habs play much better.
Turnovers happen all the time in hockey, sometimes they end up in your net, some nights more often than not. But the team crumbles in pieces when it happens, because they have zero confidence that they can get it back and still be in the game. Mostly because the powerplay is absolutely non-existant, so it makes it easier for them to lose hope in a game.

All I am saying is instead of puting blunden there, he should put Darche, he works much better and he deserves it more.
That's not even it. I hated your team from like 07/08/09 but for the last few years you guys have gotten rid of alot of the guys I hated.. (Lappy, Komi, etc). Only guys I can complain about on your team is Subban and to a lesser extent MaxPac. I have all the respect in the world for Price, world class goalie right there.
IMO we could use LL. I know he needs to develop, but he was doing well here and would help cammalleri get some pucks (who to use on that line now? I bet it'll be Blunden). I thought Gionta coming back was the tilting factor in sending him back down.
Is LeBlanc definitely not playing? Our GDT has him in the lineup. Was looking forward to seeing him play.

I kind of feel that way about Toronto... I miss hating on Tucker, Allison, Sundin, McCabe, etc.

Great job on the GDT, hilarious!
He was sent to the AHL about a week and a half ago, after Gionta came back from his injury.
Gionta will apparently be out for the rest of the season though, after he re-injured himself last game, so I wouldn't be surprised if Leblanc is recalled this afternoon or this week-end.

Thanks. If he plays, I'm the one in the Bergeron jersey cheering for him.
good job
Awesome job as usual MiG..
