Thread: Laval Rockets game #7
Blandisi , Brook and Olofsson all played their best game of the season so far. Vejdemo and Poehling have really good speed but they disappear. They can have a very dominant shift or several then you don't see them for half a period. Harvey-Pinard is a smaller Gally, just goes all the time. Schueneman was not as noticeable but I love his game. So smart with the puck and has quick feet and good stick.

The player I just absolutely love is Ylonen, man he plays such a smart game. He makes those around him better. Definitely a PP specialist. A complete player. He is in Habs line up in 2022 or 2023. Another player that is really and I mean really good is Guhle. This kid has a very bright future. A ten year career. He is so smart, stick in lanes, opens his hips properly. With 2:29 left in 3rd and protecting a 1 goal lead, Coach sent him out for 2 of those minutes. I really like this player a lot.

Laval won 4 to 3.

Thread: Wow Carey Price bashing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>I don't understand french. I understand the team is playing awful, but Price is suppose to make up for those mistakes we make, which he is currently not.</div></div>

He said and I fully agree with Mr. Flynn, that he watched every single Jets goal and not counting the empty net goal, so the other 5 goals, on 4 of the goals, the players picked up the wrong lanes and defensive assignments. I completely agree with this assessment. If you pay a goalie 1 Billion dollars but the players in front of him are picking up the wrong players and defensive responsibilities 80% of the time as has happened in the last six games, then guess what your goalies save percentage and goals against average is going to go way up.

Again, Carey is not playing his best hockey but his stats would be a touch better if the players in front of him would be doing better. To be fair, I have not broken down Jake Allens games but I will the next time he is in the pipes!

Thread: Wow Carey Price bashing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Florida_Man_Maroon</b></div><div>I personally haven’t seen any comments saying he is bad or washed. The issue is when you’re making 10 million a year you’re expected to be among the best in the game, which he is not. That is my issue when it comes to price</div></div>

inside the dressing room, the salaries mean diddly. Only outside people bring this up. The game is played between the ears and right now Carey is letting in 1 bad goal per game and he knows this. So when I go on capfriendly, RDS, TVA, Lapresse, JDM, Gazette, Antichambre and many are saying the guy in the red pads needs to go, he is making so much money, Marc Denis said and I agree with him, every time Carey doesn't stand on his head, his twitter is bombarded with "he gets paid $10 million he should be better", if half your players are missing assignments, line changes, back checking to periphery and not hard to the house, then you can pay a goalie 1 Billion and the other team will still get plenty of goals.

Thread: Wow Carey Price bashing
I am NOT saying he is playing his best hockey but my goodness the comments on here. Go through last nights game one goal at a time. He was weak on the Thompson goal. 1 was an empty net goal. Now we are down to 4 goals. on 2 of the goals, the players in front of him took the wrong players and left Jet players wide open for mis-directional goals. Then 1st goal was on the PP and it was a nice goal. Then on Dubois's goal, Petry should have shot it down the ice, instead he shoots it into a Jets player, next thing you know it goes to Dubois at a bad angle and Carey is not even facing Dubois, total flook goal.

Again I am NOT implying Carey is playing his best but neither are half the team in front of him. Way too many missed assignments. Kulak on wrong side of the ice, Mete constantly pushed off the puck. Weber and Chiarot not has strong defensively as last year. Last games faceoff's #24= 43%, #14= 54%, #15= 14%, #41=40%

I know Dom personally and he will address these things but it will take some time. But dumping on Price when 1 goal out of 6 was his fault helps nobody. We win as a team and we lose as a team.

Thread: Price on the bench
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chuckforit</b></div><div>You don't need to sell it if the new coach makes the team win more games.

''Vive le Quebec libre'' as you say was in 1967, I think as the older generations go off into the sunset, the emotions related to language for a hockey team coach will be gone with them...</div></div>

Although I agree with you, go read some of the comments on RDS. I cannot write in French but I can read it very well. Almost everyday there is a comment about language. It is heavy to always be dealing with that. I knew in 1987 I was leaving Quebec not because I hated the place but because I was tired of the same arguments all the time. In 34 years of living outside of Quebec, my ears have only heard it once that they did not like the people in Quebec, only once in 34 years. Now I am not blind, I know there is currently many people in Alberta that are angry at the pipeline being cancelled and I am reading online that it is perceived as Quebecs fault. But when I speak with my extended family members still living in Quebec, they still complain about the language stuff. Back to hockey, I believe the head coach will be french or bilingual. But there are plenty of French speaking coaches, so for me this is a mute point.

I am going over the 6 goals. 1 empty net, so 5 goals. Of the 5, 3 of them are players picking up the wrong players in their defensive assignments. Price was weak on the 4th goal. But he is getting absolutely slammed by the comments already. If those players pick up the right players, you have no need for the extra attacker and the game finishes 3 to 2 for MTL.
