This is what I fukking hate about Montreal. They love to focus on one player and break him down. PK should run far far away from this retarded organization. MT pulled the same shyt in Pittsburgh. This is why I was so fukking pissed when he was hired. Never seen a team try to break down such a talented player. Always trying to downplay his contributions. fukke em.

As fpor the game we blew out the Send but there are some big problems with this team that will be exposed in the playoffs. Weak PP. Soft and terrible on the back end and no transition games. DD will not get any space and be neutralized.

And this is coming after a 7-4 win

I miss Martin.

Pretty sure Therrien prefers to play Doug Murray's worthless ass over PK.

Unless the Habs make a ton of noise in the offs Therrien's gone after the season.

Only problem is gonna be finding a francophone coach to replace him.

Guy Boucher?

only two defensemen have more points than pk and thats -18 karlsson and duncan keith, all these other cacs the media slurps on are not even on the list


pk also has more hits tahn keith and karlsson combined, and has more blocked shots

michel therrien is a idiot coach who got canned and the pens won the cup a year later dude is a joke

 

[MikelArteta]

btw i feel sorry for habs fans, dion phanuef signed a 7 year 49 million dollar deal and he sucks

pk should get easily get 8-9 milly a year

 

[MikelArteta]

im a big time habs hater but talent wise this is teh best habs team in generations

excellent goalie in price
up front your big with max and vanek guys who can score.
got wily vets who can shut down like gionta, plecky, prust
got talented youngsters like galchenychuk, eller
got a great defensive core
got a top 5 dman in the league in pk
but the coaching

Does Pittsburgh even win the cup if MT didn't get them to play disciplned hockey? We see Bylsma is a nothing more then a fraud out here. MT is a massive jerk but he's a good coach, he need to stop picking on PK so much and go after Markov for once.

 

[K-Apps]

Islanders winning meaningless games like they always do in April and playing themselves from the 2nd/3rd pick to 5th/6th.

fukkin idiots

Not really, Buffalo owns your pick from the Vanek trade

 

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

I miss Martin.

Excited for when he eventually gets promoted to the head job after the Penguins inevitably get outcoached in the playoffs and Bylsma gets shown the door.

This. Bylsma's greatest success was in adapting MT's pre-existing system, nowadays he categorically refuses to match lines or adapt mid-game and gets exposed viciously by any team with a robust defense. I had hoped that hiring one of the coaches that made him look foolish (Martin) as an assistant would help him get his head out of his ass, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Between him and Fleury, the Penguins have a lot of questions that won't have any answers until the postseason starts.

To his credit, Markov has been great for a 35 year old. If Therrien pisses him off, he's done, Andrei's been here since even before Therrien's first stint with the Habs.

Garth Snow and Jack Crapuano need to go. It's so sad to see the franchise that my hometown breh Mike Bossy played for looking so . They better act quick before Tavares demands a trade.

Lol I agree. Pittsburgh is not winning the cup because of him this year. They need a new defense in the off season.

It's just too bad he plays only 30 games a year .

Believe it or not, he's actually the Habs ironman because of all the injuries to other players over the last 2 seasons.

But I still do worry about his previous knee problems. If he goes down, the only offensive Dman cover we have is Nathan Beaulieu who's only 21. That's why they need to Fire Therrien, sign Subban for 8 yrs and play him 27 min per game. That way they can play Markov on the 2nd pair and ease Beaulieu in on the 3rd.
