Carey Price’s teammates blocked more shots than he did.
And now the Canadiens play a back-to-back on the road.
The worst power-play in the league was putrid again.
But Rene Bourque won the retribution fight.

Is it me, or it seems like price is really weak to the blocker side, and then he always drops to his knees which hurts his play. Now he is not responsible to score so the Habs would have lost this anyway cause they don’t score much.
Luckily we signed Kaberle…otherwise we may have been in 13th place…wait a sec…
fail.
Price lovers don’t see le prix we pay on too many nights. It’s OK for a goalie to have a bad game every once in awhile. The most you lose is 2 points every once in awhile.
Price’s problem is that on many, many, too many nights he lets some absolutely softies in. Ever play in front of a guy who does that? It’s very demoralizing to say the least and it makes winning, with our lack of real shooters, almost impossible when it happens early and more than once.
Shouda played the Budda. He earned the start.
Give Price a long term BIG money contract? J’espere que non but that’s what he’ll be looking for. Let him find it elsewhere and let the Habs reap some real talent in return.
My guess is however that the word is already out there and the word is inconsistent.
Taberwitt
Maybe a team wants to gamble. Trade him plus Weber to Columbus, Edmonton or Anaheim for their 1st pick.
That might work.
Taberwitt
No the best thing is offer him 3 million as another suggested, dont match the offer sheet, and collect several picks.
Like Happy Gilmore said, The Price is wrong……!
I actually think they didn’t play that badly. The PP was pathetic and CP got out goaltended, but assize from that Gomez is finally starting to look good (wtf?) and the team played tough… we actually won a fight.
People talking about house-cleaning and blowing this team up. That’s not what’s needed. You look at the teams of old that succeeded, the players played together for years and got a sense of loyalty and feeling at home (un sentiment d’appartenance).
What’s needed is patience. And a healthy Markov!
We also have some good prospects coming up – 6 in the world juniors.
I agree with most of what you say but this year? Patience was 15 games ago. They don’t have the quality to compete this year, it’s the painful reality
First time I laughed all night!
Don’t hold back tell us how you really feel!
Thanks!
5 players; Prybil, Gallagher, Tinordi, Bournival, Beaulieu.
IMO a blow-up is not needed but the team needs to sell this deadline and forget about the play-offs this year, try their best to trade Kaberle, Gill, Moen, and/or Kostitsyn.
Build with Plex, Cole, DD, Pacioretty, Subban, Gorges, Emelin, Diaz, Bourque, Eller.
See what other players may garner picks. This is not a play-off team. They aren’t a very good regular season team. They haven’t been good since the pre-season. They have won consecutive games only 3 times this season if I am not mistaken.
As an organization they have had only one top 10 finish since the last Cup.
What’s it going to be then, eh!
Bro, I’ve been telling you for 3 years about what would happen. Are you still on the hope bandwagon? Face it, it’s over. You have to come to grips with reality for once in your life.
Let’s not throw Price under a bus, folks. Without him, we might have only 20 points this year. It’s the rest of teh team that isn’t good enough to compete.
That’s the GM’s business. Let’s make sure we get who we want to hire before we can Gauthier.
Montreal once, Montreal twice, say who sucks, it’s Carey Price!
Red Light Priceicot.
Did you think of that all by yourself?
Aren’t you exaggerating a bit by saying think?
JFJ’s name popped up as a potential GM for the Canadiens!
JFJ? (laughs) He’d trade Price, Cole and Subban for Komisarek.
Unfortunately, Darren Dreger said so on TSN.
How Leaf fans remember him:
http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2008/08/wost-leaf-coaches-gms.html
Wasn’t JFJ shot in Dallas?
Price is solid, but not a star. Great puck handler, but gives up way too many softies. Plus, he never seems capable of truly stealing a game — happens way too infrequently.
Q: What the hell is a Petteri Nokalainen anyway?
A: 2004 – 1st round (16th overall) by the New York Islanders
Was that a Milbury or a Snow?
Goats had to have him no matter.

In other news:
Bourque was the Habs 1st star tonight; won his fight and hit the post.
That’s the best we could do? A fight and a post.
Is that worth $250 a ticket?
That’s better than what any of the others did. Bourque deserved it.
Price was weak – he was on his knees by the time the puck left the stick for the 1st two goals.
I didn’t see much tonight from anyone. Cole perhaps but he can’t play all the time.
We had a 5 on 2…..and we shot it over the glass! I think that is when I lost it for the year.

FIRE GAUTHIER, FIRE GAUTHIER, FIRE GAUTHIER
The architect of this debacle is still employed and he still has time to leave his paw marks ont eh Canadiens dim future. We will not make the playoffs, trade our players and get some young talent or draft picks. Cammy for Bourque, is not trading for the future. Kaberle at $5mm/year, OMG!
Whatever he does, Carey Price is not worth $7MM for 7 years. He is good, but not that good. To lock up 7 years at Gomez like money is ridiculous. Who cares what the recent mistakes comps are (Rinne). Goalies are a 3-5 year max project. Win the Stanley Cup and then perhaps we can discuss a 6 year term.
What are the bad moves that Gauthier has done, according to you?
What are the good ones?
(btw, Cammy for Bourque is about getting rid of an underperforming bad seed for a big body that can mix things up in front of the net, not about the future. You don’t trade away a $6m player for ‘picks’)
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Bad Move: Accepting employment from Club de Hockey Canadien.
Good Move: About to come, when he’s shown the door.
I like the Bourque trade. Dislike very much the Kaberle one.
His summer make-over has been a disaster. He should stay his hand and start thinking seriously about the play-offs… for 2013.
Have there actually been any good moves? Maybe Eller for Halak, but frankly, jury still out on that one.
Markov, Kaberle, SK74, Moore, O’Byrne, Pouliot, and the list goes on……
Signing Cole this summer has proven to be a good move. I like the Cammy trade … Also a good move in my opinion.
But Gauthier has also made some terrible moves … His signing of Markov has to be one of the worst. 3 years at $5.75? C’mon man!
Maybe the players are intentionally tanking to get a good pick. Management can’t do anything about that. You can’t get rid of the whole team.
Ken Dryden: “There are two types of forwards. Scorers and bangers. Scorers score and bangers bang.”
With the exception of Cole, Bourque and Subban tonight, who came to play?
Bourque stands up for himself, and by extension this organization in only his 2nd game, and this team supports him by shitting the bed again.
Cole sacrifices his body on every shift for a scoring opportunity and guys like Kostitsyn and Plekanecs float around like the quitters they are.
Subban drives me crazy but you can’t deny that he comes to play every night. And Kaberle, who was done in Toronto 5 years ago, gets 20+ minutes of icetime.
Good for Gomez and Gorges too. They did what they could.
You know, I think we all keep watching this team because we think they are an extension of the Montreal Canadiens teams we grew up with. We see Beliveau and Richard in the crowd and think we are watching Les Glorieux. But we’re kidding ourselves. These are not Montreal Canadiens. These are professional hockey players. And they don’t care who wins. All they care about is the paycheque and they know that win or lose, the money will still be there.
Geoff Molson, blow this thing up and blow it up tonight.
This season might set a record for being shutout……….
“take your time and hurry up”
So…where is my positivity??
I have tried to keep the faith, not listen to the crap and hold on to the shred of playoff hopes. Right now I have formally thrown in the towel.
Now I have to take my boy to Montreal (from Newfoundland) for his birthday later this month. I would cancel but he would lose his mind.
I wonder how he will feel when he sees the game? It’s gonna cost me a ton of cash for hotdogs and other things to keep his mind off the game!

To vent some frustration i think HIO needs a hockey game of the “realists” vs the”optimists”. I’d like to see some line combos for that game.
Kessel, Connolly, Lupul
MacArthur, Bozak, Rosehill
Kulemin, Kadri, Lombardi
Crabb, Steckel, Frattin
How are we complaining about Price? Are you people serious? We get shutout, we don’t score on any of those powerplays, and we are down on the goalie that is very understandably starting to have bad games past the halfway point in the season in which he’s been one of the only bright spots? Come on guys, the ONE thing the habs have is the stud goalie of the future, and you bitch about him in a game that his team wouldn’t have one if he posted a shutout. Pathetic.
Tell us how you really feel.
Pretty much this. This team has one bright spot and that’s Price after that pretty much anyone on this team is expendable. This team needs a massive house cleaning time to get some competent hockey people in the front office and rebuild the right way. Not some half-assed rebuild thru free agency. Gainey and Gaulthier got the team into this mess and they need to be removed from this team as soon as possible.
Price is not the Franchise. The Habs should start drafting goalies. Everybody needs motivation in the form of a replacement. Anointing him will create complacency where it never existed before. It’s human nature.
I agree but as of this moment he’s pretty much the only bright spot on this team right now. Seems like this organization purposely trades away any goalie that has any shot at making the show so that Price is the undeniable number 1. That thinking isn’t healthy. When Price had a bonafide competitor for his job he sulked and had a lousy season . When all his competition was gone he had one of the best seasons of his career.
Potty mouth!
Stop showing passion!
The millionaire hockey players might see it.

Its rather good that they should see it rather than using such kind, constructive crticism like “I think were losing games b/c we have a losing mentality.”
Got the chance (sic) to attend the game in a corporate box tonight. The highlight was when I saw Pierre Boivin and his wife (I assume) come out of the elevator. I was surprised to see him and said “M. Boivin! Vous êtes toujours impliqués?” They both chucked and he said “En tant que partisan”.
I thought that was cool. Also, there was no other highlight to remember on this night…
Oh well, if that was THE highlight of the night… Speaks volumes about the game! You should have asked him what he thought about the team, as a partisan.
Just wondering, were there a lot of empty seats all game long, or just when people figured it was hopeless?
Last five minutes were pretty dead. The building was comparatively quiet all night. I mean Price gave up 2 goals on the first 4 shots and the Habs haven’t exactly been the comebacks-kids this year… so you can understand the paying fans.
Of course I can understand.
I had the chance (yah, right) to attend two shutout games in the past two years. Isn’t it nice to save some money for that.
Especially the game I saw against Toronto, the one game that even the coach qualified as “definitely the worst game of the season”.
Good times, I tell ya.
The one time I brought my 6-yr-old daughter we got shutout. She has yet to experience 21,000 fans cheering at the same time. It would have been nice if they got ONE!
My french is rustier than a belt of nails, what does that mean?

Alas, Don McLean
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how
Those Habs used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make these lyrics dance
And then Hab fans would be happy for a while.
But then a cold night in January
The Caps were being sanguinary
Bad news for coach Cunnyworth
The Caps goalie was Neuvirth.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his wounded pride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the hope for Stanley died
So…
[Chorus]
Bye, bye to the Stanley Cup Drive
Watched the Habs drive me crazy; I’d drink until dry
Watching les boys score no goals after many tries
Thinkin’ this’ll be the day that they score
C’mon guys; one more.
You’re getting good at this.
It’s amazing how a crap all around performance inspires.

“Fans” suck
—Hope Springs Eternal—
I used to read HIO back in the day any never posted. I used to come here because I thought it was a great way to get insights into the Habs that were not being covered by the mainstream press. I found HIO either from Robert L’s old blog or Habsworld. Either way stumbling upon this place was refreshing. I felt that fans had better insights than all the so called experts. At least here no idea is taboo. That simply fact allows for, if not a true debate, at least the exchange of extreme and contradictory and contrasting ideas, even if laced with occasional invective.
So the Habs are sucking. At least we have each other.
‘Fans’ aren’t letting in softies…
Lately, “fans” have been spewing them.

“Fans” aren’t scoring, either.
3 goals on the first 10 shots – our Goaltending maybe not as good as we think – the “D” had to be good only allowed 16 shots – as far as goals washington only had 9 more goals than the habs coming in our goaltending is a question mark – we out shot them 31-16 couldn’t score their “D” was weak – they’re goaltending was the difference that’s why they got the 2-points.
Neuvirth was solid but not severely tested, really. Was he better than Price? Well, yeah, just saying he wasn’t that good.

Is it my imagination, or did things start going south on this franchise just as soon as owner Geoff Molson(and his merry band of lawyers) demanded that the site name be changed from “habsinside/out” to “hockeyinside/out”?

It was either when Gomez took number 11, or when Ference gave the Bell Centre the finger and no-one punched him in the face. I’m undecided.

so many great memories of the past few years. might need another bottle of scotch
at least rene bourque stood up for himself tonight. when was the last time a canadien did that?
Hey! His glove was stuck. It was an equipment problem. Get your facts straight! It just happened to be stuck after he scored a goal… When he was facing the crowd… With his arm in the air… Could happen to anyone!
hahahaha
as if he even tried to have an excuse
the ol’ glove malfunction
Yes he should have stopped the 2nd goal. But he should have been on the bench to start the game.
Budaj played well enough vs the Rangers to draw the Capitals. That is on Cunneyworth. Not a knock on Price (I have to admit, I was madder than a mosquito in a mannequin factory after that 2nd one). He was not the only reason they lost.
The team out front did not do enough. So in the end, everyone sucked (I never watched the 3rd, so maybe they poured it on – hahaha). Sure there were times where it seemed like they could get it done, instead, the Capitals backup goalie said “not tonight, none”.
Frustration is setting in big time. Almost seems like the players are playing, like they could be the next to go. Not a good dressing room right now. I don’t think I need to be an insider to know that. It just can’t be fun right now.
One thing that could change things around, is to name an “Interim Captain” (that is seeing Gionta is likely gone for the season). Sounds silly that it could make a difference. But I bet it can have an impact…ask Mike
Got to admit, Bourque plays a hard game, he respects the boys club rules of the game. Knew what he did was dirty, took ownership for his OWN mistakes and acted on it (hey Bert is still playing, and on the Red Wings, a very respected club). That is a character player. Someone the Habs need, plays with emotion. I don’t think they have enough of those guys.
//end rant
Ahhh the Kovalev days always brought playoffs…and a great PP.
Can we call the KHL and borrow him for the rest of the season? (3,2,1…let the Kovy bashing begin)
I guess the reason there was no boo ing at the end of the game is because the place was empty.
I thought price would have picked it up to prove he’s worth 7 mil a season. Guess not! But PG will lock him up tomorrow for that 7 mil for sure after this terrible performance. That seems to be the way he operates…backwards!
diaz and weber would look great on davos..but not on the pp for the habs…
Too bad we didn’t keep halak.Could you imagine a top line consisting of nugent-hopkins and yakupov?
exactly!

goal now 29th..and the only games we win this season is vs the bruins and leafs..lol..doesnt sound that bad i might take it…
Well the Habs made Neuvirth look good. Improve his GAA to 3.05 from 3.23 and SV% to .894 from .886
Its time to switch to whiskey, we’ve been drinkin’ beer all night
well you have to admit, he made himself look good too.
Yep, firing Martin was surely the fix. Oh and trading Cammaleri mid game was also certainly necessary, and not a moment to soon.
Glad most also assume locking up Carey for millions, and millions, and millions, and millions of dollars will also guarantee this continued success weve revelled in since the seventies.
Let me know when the next round of inoculations occur, so I can get on that line of thinking.
Its seems medicoracy is not only contagious. But acceptable. That is if even you consider this product mediocre. Or should I say bi-product.
Genius, PG, pure genius.
I’m sure you realise that the reason they traded Cammy mid-game was because they wanted to let the Calgary game start so that it would count toward Bourque’s suspension.
I’m sure you realize that and are just being flippant.
I’m also sure you realize that most of the fans were calling for Martin’s head, thinking it was the right thing to do as well, claiming to be better GMs than PG. Which is what people are still doing now.
I’m sure you realize all this.

Eloquently put.
That’s what I was thinking, listening to his presser.
If Budaj beats the Pens this Friday, I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes back with him against Toronto. What’s he got to lose?
Full Breezer 4 Life
Nothing.
I like Price a lot, but Budaj seems to play better. I say go with the better.

Up to now, the biggest game of the year to get the team back in the playoff race and Price gets out goaltendered by a large margin. We needed our best player (Price) to be our best player and he wasn’t.

They kick the ass of anything the CBC can muster.
When asked by a reporter after tonight’s loss against Washington if he could have played better given the team’s dire playoff situation, Price responded with: “Just chill out.”.
Who’s buying tix now?
PG should resign. At this point everyone looks flat. Like they don’t even want to play. It’s a mess to watch this unfold. I would like to see PG just pack it in instead of trying to make a bigger mess of this team while he’s still running the show!
This place is hilarious all of a sudden.

Bourque was the 1st star for me. He took care of business.
The rest of the team didn’t.
It was great to see Bourque win that fight. That is all that matters boys. Now lets go and beat the crap out of the Bruins in their next meeting and that will be like our Stanley Cup.
If Price would have had a shutout after 60 mins. How was the Habs suppose to win with NO goals?
The lot of ya blaming Carey are just pathetic!
B Ice, hating on Carey is recreation for some people. Let them have their fun.
He was outplayed by the goalie at the other end..Again..Simple..Sure we need to score, but he could have gave us a chance to come back and tie it up…He basically, by letting in 3 soft goals, gave us an uphill climb we couldn’t overcome…He has to be better than what he showed tonight, but that goes for the entire team..
——————
Yes, I’m a Hab fan..Wanna fight about it?
So he had a bad game. Let’s say this game is on him.
It doesn’t change the fact that the D is weak, and the forwards aren’t scoring. These 2 factors would expose any goalie.
oh deuce6 you are way off 3 soft goals it was only 2……..lol
Well, since the Habs outshot the hell out of them, that is not an unreasonable thing to ask, and it would have gotten us a point anyway.
Maybe the Habs score a goal if they aren’t down 2-0 after 4 shots?

ok I think we’re all getting pretty sick of this now.
Here;s who’s got to go. Simply sick to death of looking at Price & Suban losing all the time. Should be worth some good players and picks.

Hahaha. Gaston blasting the Kaberle deal. No friggin’ kidding!! I knew it from the moment it happened. If PG can flip that contract I might start believing again but this is looking bad for many years moving forward. No team in front of Price is going to get the Habs a whole bunch of high draft picks. Wait a minute!!!
Carry on.
Give the whole team a defib, put an electric shock collar on Price and use it everytime he sits back in his net, get MAB back here for the PP, Gauthier is gone, RC is gone, Crawford comes in along with Robinson…there that was easy!
Shaker
Tampa’s PP is 28th, guess MAB isn’t helping much there.
He’s got more points than any of the habs D……and when he was here, the PP was number one!
Shaker
On the positive .. Closer to a top 3 pick! Maybe they can draft the ever elusive centerman thats been missing for the better part of 15 years now
that would be nice hali but heres the prob with that if we do get a top 3 pick we will just waste it on a big no name d-man with no upside…lol
some people on this site are saying…oh good we are closer to the 3rd &5th picks……….so what they will be going to Hamilton for 2 or 3 years….what we need the most is Pierre Mcguire as GM Fire Gauthier & get rid of Ganiey.don’t let the door kick you in the a.. on the way out Gainey……..we need someone you has the balls to get rid of the garbarge players we have………I don’t blame Cole for being frustrated he is the only one that is playing for nothing when the other players are not even there…….STUPID!!!!!I also think that they make too much money, when we played hockey years ago money was not the issue they just wanted to play hockey & very proud to wear the CH logo that is not the case to-day MONEY IS & once they get it they don’t play…..WHY??? because money is everything to the the whole league

Whatever, this is not like past years when i get really upset about the Habs losing. This team is not making the playoffs so a loss brings us closer to a better draft pick. It also makes us sellers at the deadling (hopefully) and we can get rid of dead weight and build for the future.
Price, Subban, Cole, MaxPac, Gorges and Eller are the keepers, the rest i do not care.
i would keep bourque as well played good tonight not a bad sec third liner
Not blaming Price..But the team seems to play with a different swagger when he’s not in the nets……….
“take your time and hurry up”
Good game…. Another step to a top 5 pick… They’ll screw that up too
Bergeron blames Price …

only one person left to fire
This loss was entirely Price’s and the coach’s fault. The coach should have given him a regular hockey stick and put him on the PP.
If Molson does not fire PG, then no more will brink his beer.
I think the spring just broke on my panic button
Man, we’ve got to fire PG immediately.
He didn’t score one goal out there tonight.
He didn’t put one goal in on the PP.
Burkie would’ve got in three fights and checked four players face-first into the boards to earn a 20-game suspension!
Get rid of PG!

Now why on earth would we want to do that?…One of the best Hab GM’s in the History of this franchise as was proudly proclaimed recently in a post by one of the delusional (to the bitter end) rose coloured spec set…he’s guided the Habs to the lofty position of 2 points out of last place…forget the ingenious moves/non moves he’s made during his glorious tenure…his team’s record speaks for itself.
Getting Erik Cole was a terrible mistake.
As was securing Josh Gorges.
Also picking up Campoli, the best of a decimated group of FA d-men at the season’s outset because of Gorges’ injury.
Horrible.
Tar and feathers!!

Matty, really, I’ve been on this site awhile and always like your input. You obviously are quite frustrated. So am I. So are all.
Are you going to the next HIO summit?

Cole (good)…Gorges(what was that?…first in the summer then later this winter)…Campoli huh, really???…that’s the point, he had ample time to make much better choices before the FA group was decimated (defence and 4th line) and didn’t…regardless, those rare good or fair to middling moves were not near enough to overcome the stupid ones/non moves (as evidenced by the quality of the current group). As mentioned above, look @ the team’s current position in the standings.
(and I do like the acquisition of Bourque/shipping out of Cammy move)
In our neck ‘o the woods we’re talk’n maple syrup and pink fibreglas insulation.
I just watched what I believed could have been the start of something good. NO. It was the beginning of the end. This is it. This is as good as it gets. The habs are sellers!

Agreed time to sell at the trade deadline and rebuild the right way this time.
agree sly now we sell ..pg gets the axe at the end of the year .we get a top 5 pick and rebuild like we were suppose when gainey took over..but we can,t fire pg just yet because if someone new comes in now the habs might start winning and just miss the playoffs there for out of the top 5 in the draft..habsfanforever
good game
exactly what i want out of a tanking team
Loooooosertalk.

The thing is, with a rebuilding team, and that’s what the Canadiens have become, there will be many more nights like this one before the club finds its way, so if we fans find the Habs exhausting our patience now, imagine how enervated we’ll be after two, three years. Yoga might be the answer to help us get through more of the dark days that lie ahead. Yoga, and game night sedatives.
But the Habs aren’t a rebuilding team. They should be, but they aren’t. What they are is simply a bad team that is going nowhere fast and that has absolutely no plan for getting better. I might have more patience if I believed for one second that the people in charge of running this franchise had the first clue about how to organize a proper rebuild. But as it is they’re still in denial about the need to rebuild in the first place!
Why is Darche given ice time? Why did Cunneyworth break up the Eller, Kostitsyn, Moen line? Why does the pp try the same tricks over and over?
Why, why,why???????!!!!!!!
