Post Game Talk: Habs lose by 2 goals and lose another 2 players

HunterZThompson Mitch Melnick
Just saw Plekanic on his way out. Asked him if he was ok. His response "We'll see". He was walking ok.




So I'd say.. he waits till tommorow to see what's up. If he's walking fine.. maybe misses a game or two? Please nothing major. please.

There are better ways to spend money.

Don't disagree, but I thought Gill looked as bad or worse than Hammer tonight.

Why is Hammer getting double PP time too???

It blows my mind.

Moen-Eller-Kostitsyn line. It's like Poutine. When you look at the ingredients mixing, it seems awful. But have a taste, and man it's good.

The Poutine line....I like it, but doesn't it need........nevermind.

guys what happened to Plecky. will he miss games? serious?

[Hackett]

its a strange game to single out hamrlik.

I thought the defense as a collective unit had a very hard time with the caps tenacious and aggressive checking. You bobble the puck for a split second, and they are on you.

An awful player? He's been our best and most busy(minutes) d-man all year.

Re-signing him depends on a lot of factors, but for the right cost and the right role I'd re-sign him in a heartbeat.

[JustAHabFan]

We are now in big trouble. If Pleks is out long term, does it mean Price has to play every game just to get enough points for us to get into the playoff?

''Lower body injury'' <---- A term I really despise.

I found he was ok, not great and not brutal. Gill looked bad on the Laich goal, made him look like a burner by taking a bad angle.

More like trade them for a bag of pucks line. These are some of the guys that get the most lashing from HF posters including myself

[Souvenirs]

Losing this game sucks because Price was really great. (yep, despite allowing 4 goals). The team did not show up though. No execution, tons of turnovers and our D was bad. If we lose Pleky we're officially done. We already needed another top 6 player. With Pax and possibly Plekanec's injuries, we'd be down 3.

What were the final shot totals tonight? It didn't seem like the Habs generated much offense..

[TheBuriedHab]

If they can get Younger and quicker on D in the offseason do it. Re-signing Hamrlik hopefully is plan c or d. Mcdonagh would look nice back their...

I'm pretty sure we could get into the playoffs without winning another game...4-5 OT/SO losses probably does it(87-88 points).

Indeed, if you want to point out a D that had a bad game it's Gill, he was atrocious tonight... I mean wow.

I thought he was one of those US busts like Pacioretty

Technically he allowed 3, that first one well that one doesn't count

All I know is that the last game against the Leafs....had better be a meaningless game for the Habs.

Nash is slow. Picard sitting in the press box is better than Nash sitting in the pressbox.

If Halpern is out, then Engqvist will take his place.

Chances are we'll hobble into the post-season and be beaten by the Bruins, who need anything to keep their low self-esteem lives fruitful and will think they're the best again.

I mean, if I were in a fight with an equal, but someone broke his leg before the fight started, I'd totally feel like I'm big, strong and a great human being too.

If plekanec is injured, god forbid, then we boys probably call up boyd. nearly all of the call ups that we would make for forward would be rather raw players.

[Richiebottles]

Call up Avtsin and Palushaij
