May I ask anybody, was that a hockey game?
What was that?! Really, I ask all of you who read this. Please, explain to me how this is a game of ice hockey...
Ok, this is what went wrong:
1. Does our defence know how to play?
2. Carey Carey; ma man, you ain't playin' next game...
3. Oh Lord; wait, what did I just see, Bruins 4th line, 3 goals... wow...

4. Hello! I think room service called 13 hours ago!
5. Where is the Kovalev line?
6. I guess Carey lost the walls of his castle...
I just can't see what went wrong? Does Guy Carbonneau have to buy 'em pizza again? Free food for great play? Even my high school team could play better than that!
All I'm gonna say, is that, if I was the coach -- I would say things that can't be said. I'd go and get some of my rookies down in Hamilton, maybe they'll play with more enthusiasm.

Were the habs players on vacation tonight? Extremely bad game. Going to be a long way back to Montreal.

Yeah for sure consistency has been a major issue for this Habs team, and it is something they will have to curb as the season goes on.
You know though, it's still early, and throughout the course of the year these top tier teams are going to go through this. They will get knocked down. It's how they get back up that determines how great of a team they truly are.
If you look at Detroit last year, they were on auto-pilot in February, and lost to LA, then to Toronto, and eventually lost seven straight to sub par teams. Once they got out of the skid, they were a closer team and better off for it. It woke them up and shook them from their complacency.
Now, I'm not saying this is what's troubling Montreal. It appears way too early to be on cruise control.
I know Kovalev doesn't account for all the offense, in fact they have a well balanced attack. But Kovy is inconsistent, and he is kind of the driver of the vehicle you know? If he isn't going, maybe the rest gets stuck?

Actually... I disagree with you. I seriously don'T think Price had a bad game and it certainly wasn't his fault that we lost. Sure, he made some mistakes but did you our D and our offense. Total crap....or even better....there was NOTHING! Geez...that's the reason Carbo might have not pulled Carey coz it wasn'T his fault....The Anaheim game...it was Halak's mistakes and he was replaced but at we lost 6-4....But come on! What happened to all the other players....by far the fourth was the best and they all were minus-2 by the end of the game...that was shameful....pitiful display!
I strongly feel that Price is coming back on Saturday and it's oging to Halak on Sunday. Let's wait and see what Carbo does today. Saturday....at the Bell Centre again! I f htey playing like people will boo...it's gonna be a fun game! I'm sure they'll find their consistency...I mean we know they can do it...but hey u can struggle but yesterday was pure giving up! Ok...Boston was more ready...they give u a tough fight...doesn't mean you are completely doomed! Ok...so my ranting is done! I certainly am not in a mood to write another article maybe after satuday.
Btw...did you see Price's after game interview. When we he ever lose his calm? .......I thought so. Man he was hesitant but no frustration. I would love to see him explode and say that the team played crap but no...he instead preferred to say ''We weren't prepared for them.'' It's more like ''Oh we didn't know the Bruins were actually that good even after seeing them win 7 of their last 8 and pushing us into a shootout in the first game of the season!''

The Canadiens are starting to settle down after a successful start to the season. This is the type of team the Canadiens will be and their toughest opponent will be themselves.
There are monsterous expectations on a team that would have to play above their ability level to reach those expectations. There is nothing wrong with them being a 4th or 5th place team and make the playoffs. I believe they can do some major damage in the playoffs. They just aren't going in as the number one or two seed.
As for all the All-Star votes and such, it was all pre-mature and a lot of hype. Especially if you put numbers up against numbers of other players who may be deserving of the honor.
The Canadiens need to find consistency in their game as a team and right now the players and coaching staff are not on the same page. Until this gets fixed they will be hot and cold.
Could be a long season in Montreal!
