I bet it's maddening for the refs when they watch these things on reply later. Add Scrivens to the blacklist...

Did Colorado ever challenge that lousy call? Sorry to see Scrivens willing to buy into the 'win or lose, show no class' Shab mentality. Their dressing room inspiration quote should be changed to better reflect how they play the game nowadays. Something like..."To you from flailing bodies, we throw the torch, our sticks, our helmets, our jock straps, really anything that might draw a penalty".

Didn't think what Subban did, warranted being called out by his coach. Creative hockey player trying to create something to try and win a hockey game. If he hadn't lost an edge and ended up scoring, or at least, almost scoring, Therrien would have loved what Subban did.

If he hadn't lost an edge and ended up scoring, or at least, almost scoring, Therrien would have loved what Subban did. I guess its how you look at it as a coach. Late in a tie game, on the road, for a team thats desperate for points,and trying to get back in the playoff race. This wasn't the 1st or 2nd period, where there is lots of time left to get the gl back if the play screws up. Play for the tie, go to OT and try for the extra, at least thats what Therriens coaching manual likely said. Risky play, not the safe play. * I should add, personally i'm so glad that Slewbban tried that and it failed miserably, looks good on him. The good ship Scab is on fire and the fan base are trying to get on one of the under supplied life boats, typical. Hope Therrien is back next yr.

The truly amazing thing to me is that since TGGITW went down, the Habs have exactly 1 (that's right...1 !!!) regulation win. That win just so happened to be on Jan 1st. That is a run of ineptitude of the highest order. Once, if ever, Price returns, they should just rip the C off Miracle Max and the A's off of Gallagher, Subban, and/or Plekanec and put a C-A-A on Carey's uniform.
I know Bergevin said he wouldn't fire Therrien during the season, but after he benched Subban and threw him under the bus in the presser I don't see how they can keep him around much longer.

Poor Henry, when he first got here, he was so full of enthusiasm and confidence, so full of Scab bravado. He lamented the Bruins precipitous fall and imminent languishing in the basement clinging to the hope of a lottery pick, he seemed genuinely concerned for our well being and hoped our team could get some dignity back so the once great B's/Scabs rivalry could once again flourish. Aww, the old days…..now Henry is nowhere to be found, his departure coinciding with the free fall that his beloved team has done in the standings, how fitting. He did say that things would turn around when Gallagher, a new backup and the easy part of their schedule came up, and that they would right the ship, those three things did come to pass but alas nothing has changed. His team is now a full blown dumpster fire, and i hope he is tuning in to the Montreal sports talk radio stations for solace, and what can be done to sooth the suffering Scab fans open wound of betrayal at the hands of Mssr's Bergevin & Therrien. Maybe Henry will be back next yr with promises of Scab grandeur. Karma's a bitch Henry!

If he hadn't lost an edge and ended up scoring, or at least, almost scoring, Therrien would have loved what Subban did. I get that in some situations, and you want to allow Subban to have his creativity and instincts. But this didn't seem like a good spot for that to me. For a defensemen to jump in the play like that, it is usually done for a real opportunity that is worth the risk as a legit chance to score. In this case, he didn't appear to have numbers really, and he tried to do it himself, skating past someone instead of passing or shooting. When he fails, it's a big risk. Third period, tie game, and he's totally out of the play, leaving an odd-man rush to go the other way. I'm not sure whether the coach should be calling people out publicly like that or not, but I do think he has a point. That seemed like a bad risk to me. And it somewhat literally cost them the game.

Whats the point now? In order to save what little dignity may exist over there. Let the fans know that Subban is a lot more important than Therrien...and that Therrien is ultimately responsible for losing the team and the fans. Not a guy who fell down. Honestly, Subban blows an edge in the offensive zone leading to a 3 on 3, and Mumblecheeks throws him under the bus...yet doesn't even mention that Miracle Max floats away from his man and decides to cover absolutely no one on the winning goal. Therrien can't even throw the blame correctly at this point. ...but I will admit this tastes as sweet as honey, watching the bad ship Les Habitants take on water like this.

I wonder if Pacioretty is still crowing about how Therrien coaches 'the right way' and Julien doesn't...

I was just thinking, Julien could very well end up back in Montreal someday. That would be weird.

Gotta love Therrien, i hope he stays right where he is. I think Tom Gilbert had more TOI than Subban last night, nice! Thats winning hockey, too many mistakes by PK i guess. After Bergevin came out and emphatically said at his press conference that Therrien would remain coach until the end of the year, whats he going to do? Dignity be damned, theres no dignity in Loserville.

Nope and even the announcers were wondering why not. Oh how I love when Hughson's voice gets lower and softer when he realizes that the Shabs were not coming back in this game. Didn't matter in end Iginla was all over the Scabs last night.

"What is crazy about this is even after the turnover the Canadiens were still in pretty decent position to defend the Avalanche rush up the ice, and every man seemed to be accounted for as the Avalanche entered the zone ... right up until Matt Duchene slowed up, started a tic-tac-toe passing play, and Iginla somehow found himself wide open in front of the net as every other Non-Subban Canadien on the ice ended up getting lost."
Sure, Subban took himself out of the play with a dubious decision to get around the Avs defender, but the rest of the guys on the ice seemed to take the rest of the play off.

Comon 50, I know you don't like PK, but this is what OD's do. He's the leading point getter on his team since Jan, 1. If he didn't try to create you'd be saying he's supposed to be an all-star. The guy did the same thing 3 other times during the game and they resulted in scoring chances. He was trying to lead the rush and lost an edge. MT did this to take the blame off himself. His team has quit on him and this will only make matters worse. Where was the Movie goer on this play?

That whole French Speaking thing doesn't make things any easier. In Montreal they will speak English, but if another team goes to Quebec...they'll freak out if the coach & GM doesn't speak French.

C'mon nite, i know you like PK and thats fine, but in a tie game late, it was definitely the wrong play. Go to OT and take the point and go for it in OT. For a team desperate for points, it was the wrong time for a foray into the O zone, imo.

I already have 3 parody accounts on here. And 4 accounts on BDC. Don't need another.
Some photo shop on Therrien could be in the works though.
