Man, this is getting tired.
Your Montreal Canadiens blew a 3-0 lead on home ice.
Yes, they’re playing the Cup finalists.
But still …
Shootout:
DD: Glove save on backhand
Hodgson: Goal shelf
Max-Pac: High and wide
Kesler: Save
Cammalleri: Save

Played most of that OT in their own zone, one hand on the stick, watching the Canucks.
another shootout…more time for JM to take notes
Shootout. Great….
Got one point for sure
Most thought we would get blown out
Disappointing still
Lou suck in shoot-outs too!This will be fun….
That was embarrassing
“It’s not an obsession, It’s a way of life..”
Nooooooooooooooooooooo

very nice sequence of good coverage there
Sweet DD pass but Pac is too tall for that knee on the ground shot move.
Look at JM’s teams in Ottawa. Given that they had Alfredsson, Hossa, and Havalat to name a few, those were talented teams that should have won at least one cup. Problem is they would meet Toronto in the playoffs and lose because like their coach they had NO PASSION, NO FIRE. The Laffs had their way with them with lesser talent. I see no difference with this clown coaching Montreal. Time for JM to hit the road.
worst comment of the year- trade Price to Van for Luongo and 2 first round picks. Habs suck anyway, might as well try and get CP31 a deserved Stanley Cup in Vancouver. (just kidding…I’m not frustrated)
Am I the only one who DOESN’T like the idea of a mid-season coaching change? When has that ever worked for the Habs?

Jacques Demers !993… I believe we won the cup…
Lemaire had a better than expected playoff run riding minor-minor league call up Steve Penney.
But, yeah, I hear ya. The best solution would be Cunneyworth on an interim basis. At least we could dispense with the unwritten francophone Rule for the next hire.
PS – in was moments away from asking you for lotto numbers for your prescient predictions.
Are we shorthanded?
Haha, sorry but that’s funny. I told Martin do not know how to coach offense, this has more offense than they know what to do with, it has to be Martin’s way or no way, and you’ll sit, it’s not working. Plus the team is too predictable, same crap all the time, if it wasn’t for price and Lou we would have lost already!
IF this gets to a shootout, tonight would a good night for Habs’ shooters and Carey Price to, you know, do it properly.
Budaj better be warming up for a shootout
“If you’re not the TOP DAWG, the view never changes”
Full of rational points again this evening eh?
wtf is wrong with PK?
cough… choke… sputter… die.
How many more leads we gonna blow this season, can we set a record?
No lead is safe with this bunch. They could be up 5-0 half way through the game and it would still be nerve wracking. They don’t know how to win. Almost like they expect to lose even with a lead.
JM coaches not to lose. PG manages not to miss the playoffs. When you play NOT to lose, you usually don’t win.
If this goes to a shootout, Luongo’s as bad as Price is.
Great coaching by the genius JM ,We earn another loser point.
Where did I read that the Habs don’t even practise the shootout much?
Full Breezer 4 Life
If you seriously read this somewhere, it is, to me, another clearcut indication of the atrophy that has set in with JM’s coaching methods.
I mean lets give him his system. Let’s give him kudos because his system takes them to a shootout so often.
Then isnt is almost mandatory that you PRACTISE shootouts.
And still some here say JM is a great coach.
The system is …………………………..”THE MATRIX” take the blue pill and this nightmarish coaching continues, take the red pill and you will know what “THE SYSTEM” is. Do you want to know what THE SYSTEM is?
How do you turn two points into one? Play for a Jacques Martin coached team. Disgusting, again. Blew a three 3-0 lead.
The Betmen zebras are at it again!
Number 25 in 2012!
Actually I would have been comfortable with the strategy of protecting a 3-0 lead. It just has to actually work, and should be possible! Habs hit the snooze button here.

Did Luongo even break a sweat in the third period. He looks fresh as a daisy
I am glad our goalie doesn’t look like a fresh daisy…
Evenin’ gents! Was watchin’ the Rangers get muscled by an angry, upset Tampa team that lost five in a row with some talent (Pyatt, et al ex Canadiens) and I came in at 3-1 and look!! It’s now 3-3. Come on! What is the matter with this team? Do they just not want to win, or is JM soooo bad that he can’t get his team up on winning a game against any team not to mention Anaheim or Columbus? Thank God Florida beat Boston, but New Jersey won and we’re really bottom feeding. What gives? Again?
Promote the Youth, Support From The Veterans and Remember the Heritage!
Ref misses a call. No big deal. Happens all the time.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
WTF? No penalty on Bieksa? Insane!
Refs lost their whistles.
Wonder what the record is for most games played that go to OT since new OT began
And for tonight’s shoot-out Yemelin ,Moen and Diaz
You’re assuming there will be a shootout. They’ll be lucky to make it out of OT.
Judging by Price’s recently record the Canucks may be hoping for a shootout.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true.
This might cost Martin his job. Only one game in the next five days.
We’ve been saying that for 40 days already..
It’s rare that you get one game in five days to prepare a team with a coaching change. The second game is on the eve of the fifth day against the Islanders.
A bad start wasn’t going to produce a coaching change, but a lot of blown leads should. And this is the third blown game in a week. Considering that and the home ice record, and it’s time.
It wasn’t time ten games in, this wouldn’t be a knee jerk reaction.
Nah Molson will look at the 3 mil he made this game and do nothing
When are they gonna learn that they aren’t good enough to sit on a lead? They needed a 4th goal.
Is the love affair with eller over yet? He frigs around with the puck in his own end and takes dumb penalties.

I’ve seen this movie before. We lose at the end of it.
I completely blame the players and not JM for this. They totally went to sleep on this lead.
Uncharacteristically weak game by Price, but this is when the Habs need to win one for HIM, for once, God knows they owe him.
Full Breezer 4 Life
What game are you watching? Lord martin is hands down to blame for this
Price held the fort pretty darn good imho. Heroic in the 5 on 3, and made some insane saves. Taking penalties against the no.1 pp in the league will usually wind up costing anyone else in the league.

The player do what they are told, hang back, no two men deep, surrender the blueline and fall back to the net.
This scenario plays out way to often for it to be the players.
Its the SYSTEM.

What does the Commissioner of the NHL do?
In short, a league commissioner is the action man for the Board of Governors.
They tell him what they want done and he works to make it happen through his subordinates while making sure that individual franchises play by the rules.
******** Translated if you haven’t won the Stanley Cup in 40 years your NHL team is becoming irrelevant in a sports mad city long behind MLB, NFL and NBA teams, you just tell the commissioner(who you gave a new contract at 7 plus million per) to make it happen and the rules are bent sufficiently to action the command.
Every facking time we have a lead, only to blow it off in overtime or shootout.
This team sucks. Frustration would be a nice way of saying how bad I feel from the inside. And I am sure, more than half of you here feel the same way.
PUCK!
PK … So much offensive upside, so much defensive downside!
Sophomore blues for the young D.
Yeah, that wasnt crosschecking or anything….

How do you blow a three goal lead, you can’t pin all that on Carey, he’s the best goaltender we’ve had since Roy, don’t be idiots, there’s more than him on the ice!
I don’t think anyone is blaming Price for this one.
Look on the bright side this will surely accelerate any “plans” the front office has!
Whadya bet OT or Shootout loss?

brace yourself the haters are back!
Now JM can do what he does best…play for the point!
This loss in on Price 3 stoppable goals
“If you’re not the TOP DAWG, the view never changes”
It would be bad enough if the boring defensive “system” worked. The fact that the “system” doesn’t work is horrific.
I could see this coming from a mile away. Has a coach ever been fired in the middle of a period. ITS NOT THE PLAYERS!
Clap clap martin….. This guy is going to win coach of the year he is such a winner!
I’m willing to take a few more losses for jacques martin to lose his job.
here…here
Good thing the ref with no way of seeing what cammy hit the puck with made the call
Not his fault.
as predictable as the patented JM third period, “protect the lead” defensive shell™
I figured out now what the notepad said to do with a 3-0 lead
JM thinks he gets paid time and a half for overtime
LOL!!!
Maybe he does! You never know.
J-Mart teams are, in theory, good defensively.

Good to see some traditions never die…you know, like the nightly shi**ing of the bed.
Our team could use some point shots like that.
How typical is this? LOL, we cant hold a lead…. terrible.
Is JM fired yet? I want to start enjoying a 3 goal lead become a 4 goal lead.
Jm should be gone
No lead is safe!
Please God no shootout …

This is sad
That one hurt!

Well, we were sure stupid in this game.
3-0 lead barely into the second. 3-3 near the end of the third. Where’d all the pressure go? Did that shortie kill them? They’ve had a lot of chances since then.
haha. so predictable.
fack
It’s a dangerous play, but I’d rather Eller take O-zone penalties like that rather than some crap hook.
This is the game right here
