Fire the coach!
Trade that lousy goalie!!
Fuhgedaboudit!!!
Erik Cole put the 6-3 loss in perspective, pointing out “we were working out the kinks … it’s been a while.”
“It’s the preseason,” Cole added, “but we gotta work. We have to do better things, up the tempo, up the physicality.”
Jacques Martin had praise for Alexei Yemelin, Raphael Diaz and Jarred Tinordi, who, the coach said, “got stronger as the game went on. He’s a big kid who uses his reach.”
Negatives?
Martin said the penalty kill needed work, after ceding two goals to Dallas.
Martin said the line of Tomas Plekanec, Michael Cammalleri and Erik Cole were “not at their best”, noting the trio were outplayed on several shifts by Mike Ribeiro’s line.
“We weren’t on the puck enough, especially early the game,” Martin said. “We gave them a lot of their goals.”
Martin also faulted poor backtracking by his forwards, which resulted in Stars being left along in front of Carey Price and Nathan Lawson.
“There were a lot of mistakes,” Martin said. “But this is a learning curve.”
STATS that jump out:
• Raphael Diaz had four shots on goal to lead the Canadiens but was minus-3
• Mike Blunden had six hits
• Yannick Weber played 25:54; none of his five shots were on net
• Tomas Plekanec was 6-14 on faceoffs, Brian Willsie 2-7, Andreas Engqvist 0-5
• Alexei Yemelin had five hits, but the only memorable one was on Francis Wathier
• Carey Price gave up 4 goals on 13 shots
• Michael Ryder had four hits
• Hal Gill played only 14:55, low on the D corps
• Dany Masse, Alain Berger and Ian Schultz were the only Canadiens who played less than 10 minutes

Another nice play by Yemelin, the pivot off the boards and shot
Yemelin has got some game!

Cole looks great. Yemelin is a ghost. Shultz is nice to have, especially if he were on a line with white. Lawson is better than price for goodness sakes. Price needs to become a forward with how often he plays the puck. And not in the NHL with all those giveaways.
Halak, White and Muller for life!
Wheeeeere to begin
I can point out one thing that’s right in your statement, but I’ll let you figure out what it is.
I just wonder what color the sky in your world is? In the words of the great Carey Price “Chill out nobody has ever won the Stanley Cup in the preseason”
The Pelican has laid an egg.
i’ve been listening to this Bartlett on team990, he is quite refreshing to listen to, i like him!
I know this means nothing for Price’s regular season but have some pride dude. You’re wearing the CH playing in front of your fans. Have some f***ing pride.
Chill out.

Go Habs Go!
Beat me to it Bill
Last one was on Lawson.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
WTF is that supose to mean 72?
It’s freakin practice …
It is all for nothing if we don’t win the Stanley Cup!
I think you need to feel more strongly about this exhibition game, HFS72
Lame goal.
Anyways, Diaz looks great. A solid season in Hamilton and some added bulk and he could be legit.
Sell playoff tickets…NOW!
***Subbang Baby!!!***
Budaj’s job is safe…phew
No more goalie controversy:-)

Price is still garbage. Don’t argue with me, you all know it’s true. Halak!
Halak, White and Muller for life!
We still have White. Or maybe I just don’t catch your drift
“When I was a baby I wish my first word had been “QUOTE”, then right before I die I could say “UNQUOTE” – Stephen Wright
….but he’s my favorite player. Don’t ruin this for me dude. Last warning!!
Go Habs Go!!
Apologies if I missed the banner news, but does anyone know where Joel Bouchard has gone from RDS? I thought he was pretty insightful.
He’s on radio.
Cheers.
Yemelin’s starting to get warmed up, maybe we’ll get to see a good test of the new glass. The fat could be a good weapon if wielded correctly!
“When I was a baby I wish my first word had been “QUOTE”, then right before I die I could say “UNQUOTE” – Stephen Wright
YES! Love the sneaky wrister from the point by Yemelin after some great puck control. I like a guy who can mix it up, who isn’t always winding up for the big slapper. In this case the puck was tipped away- but I really like that play.
Yeah, he’s crafty on the point.
I’ve been pleased to see Yemelin’s mobility and poise with the puck, especially under pressure at the blue line.
so who hates preseason? no one? K

Nice shift for Yemelin before the fight
good job Schultzy!!
Halak would have lost that fight.
Just sayin’.
Someone larger and grittier than Shulz would have won it faster.
Gaustad?

Stirring the pot there eh Andrew, lol
LOL, I’m willing to give that one a rest, ya big jerk.
Good old time tilt. No BGL crap there.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
Shultz is most definitely game. Shoulda kept the mohawk though!

Schultz is starting to redeem himself in my eyes.
Good bout there
very nice win shultz!

Yes, Lawson, wow!
There was a worry we had no goal tending depth.
remember, this is what it would look like in dallas cup game 7

So what can we get for Budaj in a trade since Lawson is the backup this year?
Halak vers. 2.0? :O
What the hell kinda name is Gulutzan??? Sounds like a sound effect.

“Hey Kirk, Jacques here… we finished the first period and we’re down by 3. What should I do? You’re always good at these things. Call me back if you can. Miss you.”
More like “Randy, I’m at a loss here. What do you think we should do?”
Uh huh….

Love Woywitka giving Cole a playful facewash at the bench there. Great shot, and I like that Cole is the kind of guy who will mix it up like that with a cub like Woywitka.
kostitsyn playing like a MONSTER!!!

Classic in the making.

That last goal, was as dominant a 5 on 5 shift I have seen in a while from our boys. Nice to see
Are we going to need to chill out?

i cant beleive i bugged my neighbors for preseason.
tonnes of time… still
Kostitsyn looked like Peter Forsberg on that shift.

It’s all cause I changed into my favorite Habs shirt, the other one I was wearing just didn’t feel right haha
Flash backs of last season … Goal post after goal post .. LOL …
It is all for nothing if we don’t win the Stanley Cup!
AK was God for 3 minutes.
Yemmy… We had to wait, but sure enough…
That Third Period was awful. Didn’t really see many people step up… but yeah, Diaz is looking good. If Marky is out for a spell, this guy could make things interesting.

Go PK Go!
I’d say that was some offensive zone pressure
Who’s getting cut, Jerkshire? :p
Love, love, love the pressure for Habs 3rd goal.
Meh… This is about the kids trying to create surprises and for Pricey to get dialed in.
But if they want to live a nice moment, all they have to do is crawl this one back and it will be louder than most playoff games in any other building… For some of these guys who will never play in the Show, this is it. So make it count les boys!’

great minds think alike Andrew.
Cue the comeback boys!
Slow start, just like last year- but last year JM didn’t work with a group of 50 players through the exhibition games, at least as far as I can remember.
It’s important to remember how meaningless these games are except for the players trying to make their mark.
Like ANDREI KOSTITSYN!
Plan the parade!
***Subbang Baby!!!***
Nice wristshot.
BAM! AK’s got a hell of a shot
That’s the AK we like!
BINGO!!!!!!!

NICE
What is the matter with that COLE, does he not know how to play Jacques Martin style???
Wanna see a big hit & see the how far the pexi-glass will sway/move…….
Geez, maybe Yemelin IS fat afterall.
