BigTed3 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Who was good tonight? Gallagher, Kotkaniemi, Petry, Ouellet, Mete, Armia, Danault, Domi... Drouin and Hudon were horrid tonight. Lehkonen was near invisible. And they got nothing from the 4th line for about the 4th consecutive game (coincides with however many straight games Deslauriers has played). Like I've said, without top end talent, you need to really have your 4 lines skating and tiring out the opposition, and the Habs have lost that edge with the 4th line they have now.

CaptWelly Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I hate to say but I thought this was JK's worse game of the season . He looked really hesitant with the puck and got rid of it very quickly tonight. I also thought both Druin and Tatar took dumb penalties and didn't look good tonight , Jullsien was stripped of the puck a few time tonight also. Tampa is a tough team though and has a lot of talent and experience. I think with Hedman back they're defiantly a cup contender. I few could of captilized on a couple more early chances it might of made a difference. Price wasn't bad the 4th he should of had but we still needed 3 more. The PP has to get better.

Worse than that. Deslauriers may have single handedly lost the game with a dumb penalty. Was it a questionable call? Yeah but its 50/50 if it he gets called for it. We have momentum fully in our corner there is NO reason to make a play like that. Worse still, he's a guy who cannot rectify the situation by going out & scoring a goal later. Lots of other players messed up too but i pin the complete shift in the game on that one dumb move by Deslauriers. You knew TB would wake up at some point but we could have conceivably had 2 or 3 more goals on them at that point which would have changed things dramatically.

jennifer_rocket Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I didn't watch last night's game, but... what I'm hearing is poor effort from the fourth line, and... especially from some of the higher paid guys.

You knew TB would wake up at some point but we could have conceivably had 2 or 3 more goals on them at that point which would have changed things dramatically. Delauriers took a stupid penalty for sure but if your going to blame one player and not the team, then should be pointing the finger at Hudon for making a dumb cross ice pass, And coming back ever so lazy on the third goal. Two of his actions resulted two goals. And no i didn't see Hudon scoring to make up for his mistakes in the game either. Actually from what I seen it was one of Delaurier best efforts this season, even having said that I dont think there is any place in the lineup for Deslaurier when Byron returns. As for Hudon it was his worst and not at a good time when you may only have a few games to prove you belong on the top two lines. Its was hard enough for Domi and Lekonen to cover the defensive side for Droiun, now Domi stuck with the task of covering for both Drouin and Hudon on the defensive side of the puck. Maybe move Domi up with Gallagher and Tatar and drop Danualt back with Hudon and Drouin, I would say Danualt is a better defensive center than Domi.

ChiLla Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Yeah, I don't know about Deslauriers here. First of all, it was a terribly weak call to begin with IMO. Deslauriers is expected to finish his check in that situation, so I'm really not sure what McDonagh is doing on the play (trying to actually draw a call? unlikely but there's absolutely no reason to turn his back in the last second, he must know that Deslauriers is coming). Sure, the PP goal following that bogus call caused a huge momentum swing but it's not like the game was over after Stamkos tied it. We had a boatload of prime scoring chances in the second period but just couldn't finish (Armia twice, Juulsen, Drouin, Tatar, Gallagher). So yeah, I'm with caperns on this one. Hudon was directly responsible for two ES goals against, the first one because of a high-risk pass right through the middle, and the second one was even worse. It's his first shift after the second intermission and he's coasting instead of playing D, leaving Stamkos of all people uncovered. It's frustrating because right after he played his best game of the year, he follows it up with a rather poor outing on the top line. We need him to be better, while Deslauriers is just what he is.

Pretty much sums it up. Dlo did have a few strong shifts after that, but i still think we have better options for the fourth line,,,, especially if CJ refuses to shorten his bench in the 3rd when trailing by a couple. That continues to irk me, and i'm sure the majority of the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I didn't mean to lobby for Delo, I actually don't think there's room for him and he's been hurting our chances of winning more than he's helped this season but I also don't think he lost us the game last night.

I feel pretty much the same way, i like Deslauriers but i don't feel he fits this teams style of play anymore he got a weak call there but imagine he was not on the ice and we had a faster more mobile 4th line out there continuing to wear down the other team allowing us to cycle 4 line more efficiently. on a side not Hudon was not good he better be careful and not throw away his chance to play on a good line with poor efforts like last night.

BigTed3 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Agreed with bits of what everyone is saying... Hudon was bad last night, I think I mentioned this at least once or twice during the game. And at the same time, Deslauriers's penalty took away a large amount of momentum that we had built in the first 6-8 minutes. We were dominating up until that exact moment, and I think it's possible to say both guys contributed strongly to the loss. Outside of that moment, Deslauriers did have a couple of strong shifts, but also had a few moments where he failed to clear our zone and missed coverage. He was better than he usually is and was still bad, and therein lies the problem. Outside of his luck scoring goals last year, he doesn't really bring much to the table. I'm more willing to foregive a younger guy like Hudon who can learn from a bad game and who can also bring other elements down the line. I can't live with a bad player like Deslauriers continually being thrown into the line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
