FirstStar Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 He's still not playing well, but I think he's at least starting to show some speed. He's still drawing penalties, but everything else is questionable. Seems sluggish and not firing like he usually does. Ok, that's a few times Emelin has come to Marky's rescue.

Flying_Lion Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Decent 1st. Habs are 6-0-0 when leading after 20. Flyers are 0-5-0 when trailing after 20. Keep the streak strong! Go Habs Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepingminotaur Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 He's still not playing well, but I think he's at least starting to show some speed. All I see is a forward doing the same predictable move across the blueline but not having the fortitude to go to the net. He doesn't seem to have any interest in doing the little things to score. Overall, though, I'm pleased with the period. We definitely outplayed the Flyers. If we keep our legs moving and stay out of the box, we should have this game in hand.

powerplay2009 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Replace Subban with Diaz on the first PP unit, please. This. Only 2 or 3 shots (granted, 1 was a pretty difficult glove save) in the period for Philly. Setting Budaj up for success. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepingminotaur Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Markov-Emelin is a pairing that has gotten worse and worse over the course of the season. Emelin looks lost on the right side, and neither man has speed to recover if they turn the puck over at the blueline. I'd much rather see Markov-Gorges and Emelin-Subban. Gorges has played the right side very well in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying_Lion Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I miss good power plays. Agreed. A poor PP is awful. If we can't consistently capitalize on extra-man opportunities, opposing teams won't be as reluctant to play more physical & risk the penalties.

FirstStar Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Replace Subban with Diaz on the first PP unit, please. That'll leave us with Diaz and (?)... gorges, soupy, for 2nd unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepingminotaur Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 This. Only 2 or 3 shots (granted, 1 was a pretty difficult glove save) in the period for Philly. Setting Budaj up for success. Keep it up. Well, Philly has talent, they'll get chances. But if we control the play like we did in the first, we'll win a whole lot more than we lose, regardless of whether we cash in on every chance.

wmarcello Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 All I see is a forward doing the same predictable move across the blueline but not having the fortitude to go to the net. He doesn't seem to have any interest in doing the little things to score. Before the last few games though, he wasn't even moving his feet so it's a slight improvement. But yeah, still poor overall.

weepingminotaur Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 That'll leave us with Diaz and (?)... gorges, soupy, for 2nd unit? No, no, I meant that the first unit D should be Markov and Diaz, with Subban and Kaberle (in my world) on the second unit (Gorges if Therrien never activates Kaberle again). So Scott Gomez 2.0? A bit harsh. Before the last few games though, he wasn't even moving his feet so it's a slight improvement. But yeah, still poor overall. True, but my patience with him is really wearing thin.

That would mean benching Soupy. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwolf Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Good 1st. That change on top line looks great. We'll see how whole game goes for Cole. Maybe Prust will create some space for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepingminotaur Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 That would mean benching Soupy. Good luck with that. It's what we should be doing IMO: platooning Kaberle and Bouillon until and unless one of them steps up and makes a strong case for staying in the lineup.

powerplay2009 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 FWIW, Subban is leading the team with 8:31 ice time, albeit Markov is only 11 seconds behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't argue it's what we should do. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. First we need to reduce his minutes to the third pairing range before thinking there's a chance MT will bench him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
