Game 59: Canadiens come home with little to show
posted by Kevin Mio at 22h26 EST on Feb 19
But instead of giving up, the Canadiens dug deep and came back to tie the game 4-4. Only 13 seconds after Talbot's goal, Andrei Kostistyn snapped a quick wrist shot past Marc-André Fleury to narrow the gap. Three minutes later, Tomas Plekanec fired a slapshot past Fleury, his second goal of the game.
That 4-4 tie didn't last long as Sergei Gonchar, who missed the first 56 games of the season, scored his first of the season at thr 7:18 mark of the third period for a 5-4 Penguins lead.
The Penguins opened the scoring in the first period when Petr Sykora scored his 22nd of the season.
After Plekanec tied things up 6:22 into the second period with his first goal of the game, Miroslav Satan got his stick on a Ryan Whitney point shot to deflect the puck by Price.
The Canadiens would tie the score 2-2 before the second intermission when Mathieu Schneider scored his first goal for the Canadiens in more than 13 years. His blast from the point eluded Fleury on the power play, Montreal's fourth power-play goal in the two games since Schneider was acquired from the Atlanta Thrashers.
Midway through the third period, defenceman Francis Bouillon left the game with the help of two teammates as he was unable to put any weight on his right leg. Replays showed his right knee or ankle twisting behind the Canadiens' net when he tangled with Jordan Staal.

Perhaps Carbo is too patient or to calm,He seems to rely on the players doing the right thing when on the ice,but they have to be 'coached' at all times,and blasted from time to time, I don't think leaving a player at home for two games,is very smart,discipline is definetly needed,but they are sitting the wrong players,take Price right off the bench,for a long stretch & run with your backups,....Carey just isn't going to get it going.and with all due respect This team has some seriously deep problems,& I think nothing less than a whosale skae up is desperatly needed ,if only to give some hope to salvaging this season,if possible,We have a team that noone fears,and almost everyon looks forward to playing as it almost guarantees two points ........Changes (and maybe from the top down) I believe that Bob is a good GM ,.& I think Carbo,can be a good coach,whether he can be a good Head Coach ,still remains to be seen.

I find it interesting how all the stupid news articles come from Jean Perron, 110% and La Presse or Journal de Montreal. You never hear of crap or sensationalist reporting from Boone, Stubbs, Hickey, Mio or Fisher. I wonder why that is?
And these same idiots who have these scoops will condemn Bob Gainey for not attracting free agents to come to play in Montreal in the off season. I'm now convinced they would rather see the team fail than succeed. Anything that sells more newspapers or gets more viewers.

We haven't had a legit Hall of Famer come through this team since Roy was run out of town at the end of '95. Prior to Roy, the last real Hall of Famers I can recall were Cheli and Robinson towards the start of the 90s. So 20 years for this franchise and only 1 real Hall of Fame player and that was 14 years ago at that?????

From what I have gathered, sk and ak have been keeping bad company, much like jose did a few years ago. Their young and stupid but they have not, as yet, been incriminated of anything. The guy would talk on the phone, get them booze, sometimes girls but no direct mention of drugs. Hammer sometimes hung out as well. AK admits to knowning the guy but not what his occupation is.
This may be a bad PR situation but, so far at least, I don't think it's going to tear the guts out of the team. If anything, it might be a way of refocussing everyone on the team. What else could the reasons be for their crappy play?

This season is a nightmare. It's a shame it had to happen on the team's 100th anniversary.
I don't think we have what it takes to make the playoffs, much less win the Cup this season.

They are saying the news will break out tomorrow. No details have been given by any media outlet so far.

I am at my wits end with these guys.
Do we have a plan to get the damn puck out of our end of the rink? The D is constantly getting beat to the puck and losing all the battles.We make passes to nowhere in the offensive zone.We have no forecheck to pressure the opponent. Pass when there is the opportunity to shoot.We are not skating which is supposed to be the strong point of this team. Put a checking line on the PP and plumbers on in the last minute of a one goal game. A goaltender who has lost his confidence who should be on the bench is being hung out to dry. We are in big trouble.

The team has gone from a favourite to win the Eastern Conference to a question mark for a playoff spot. If "they played hard" or "we can still make the playoffs" is your goal then you should move to Toronto. I have spent all my life in Toronto being ridiculed by their fans and having to listen to their foolish "if we make the playoffs, anything can happen" garbage.

Well we played ok, not good certainly not great.
My 2 cents;
• The pens beat us on just about every battle along the boards and in the corners we need 2 or 3 guys just to steal it from Crobsy.
• Price was ok not great and was out of position quite a few times...again.
• Pacioretty-Plekanec-Kostitsyn was the line that kept us in there good job guys.
• Laraque fight was the worst I've ever seen, if you don't want to hit or fight then go join Kovy.
• Koivu was invisible tonight.
But I will say that Scneider (spelling??) has been playing great, he's making Gainey look pretty smart.

I think people are getting fired. Might be coaches, since they are talking about the organization. Bob won't quit or get fired by Boivin.
Even Jean Page looks sad.
I think people are going to pay for the extra curricular activities of some players.

I understand that everyone is down and it is completely understandable...but remember, during this slump we all wanted them to at least look good losing, ie. effort....well we got it, they are playing better but still losing.
Keep the faith, they will make the playoffs, they still have a 5 point cushion between in and out...and they still have enough games left in the schedule to pull out of this downwards spiral.
I still believe in this team, they will pull through and make the playoffs and definitely play better than they have been lately.

Playing only the last 15 minutes of the game doesn't cut it though. They need a 60 minute effort and a coach that knows enough to put his scoring line on the ice sometime in the last 2 minutes of a game, when down by a goal.

I agree with the effort statement...the only excuse I have for the slow start is the back-to-back, it would take just a little bit of time to get the legs going...and the Pleks line proved it since they were on fire in the second half of the game.
For the last 90 seconds, the two big lines were gassed and they could not get a timeout, so he tried using the grinders to hold the offensive zone long enough for them to get a quick breather or a timeout of some kind, it did not work unfortuantely....I have more faith in Carbo than that, maybe he should have learned the trade through the minors, etc...but he has played enough games that when down by one, you put your scorers on ( he had a long career and was not blind to what went on around him during those years, he must have learned something).

Unlike some people here, I still have optimism left in my tank and your negative posts are just mind-boggling. Ok a very tired team after six games on the road blew a tire and the goaltender failed to keep you in the game.
All the mistakes you make seem to turn into goals and you wonder if some of these guys sneaked into the NHL because they really couldn't score to save their lives (that's you Higgy and you Kosto).
-Can't say we didn't try. The boys didn't give up.
-New number one line has been finally found.
-AKos is on fire. Who said sending his brother down with make him play like this. Actually playin' out the worth of his contract.
-Pleky just needed a two-game suspension to get his game back. Impressive what two games at home could do to a person. (Right Kovy?)
-Price was okay at best but in a wierd game like today, we needed key saves like we got last night. Some lucky bounces for the other team and some where you wonder what happened to this Kid.
-Price was pissed for losing last game in a shootout. Wonder how pissed he will be today. First career loss against the Pens!
-Schneider really shouldn't be played so much. Nice shot from the point.
-MaxPac played one of his usual good game working his butt off. A whooping 6 hits. (Komo had 6 too!)
-D'Ags...I didn't like so much. Maybe rehab in Hamilton and bring Sergei back?
-Chipchura HAS to sit! I insist on playin' Begin!
-BGL played 3 minutes! What a waste of money and cap space!
-Among other NHL news, Buffalo lost! and Florida did too! Still not mch breathing room but we're not 8th yet.
-I wouldn't push the panic button just yet.
-Just think about it for two seconds. If we were actually winning a few and losing a few at a regular pace (no streaks). This game wouldn't have been so hard to swallow. The fact that it's coming in the middle of a big slump like this adds to negativity.
-No point talking about Carbo coz it's a given that he ain't not going anywhere. I just don't wanna waste my time.
Just stay positive. And please do not Boo the Habs! I know you guys are true fans but there are few people who have the audacity to commit such a cheap act.

I just came on to ask the same question.
My initial thought was a big trade, but then why would we all be so disappointed.
Then they were talking about Boivin being a straight guy and this is a huge surprise - I figured they might be firing Gainey.
Then they mentioned the guys partying, and that is somehow related.
All I can think is that they are going to call out (Trade? Waive?) the players that are not adequately focused, probably some team favourites.
But why is this the biggest and most disappointing thing in 100 years?

We can scream until we are blue in the face but it doesn't appear Guy Carbonneau is going anywhere. Bob Gainey has made it clear he's his man.
So our options are as follows:
(1) The team sticks through this and somehow we turn it around and make a run to make the playoffs. We will meet Boston or Philadelphia in the first round and promptly get knocked out unless Price turns it around.
(2) The team continues to stink and we miss the playoffs. Come the trade deadline we become sellers and trade Koivu, Kovalev, Tanguay, Komisarek, Begin, Kostopolous, Dandenault, Bouillon, Brisebois and Schneider. Al of whom are going to be UFAs and are unlikely to come back.
I don't think option 2 is realistic as Gainey wouldn't have made the deal for Schneider. Clearly they want the team to make the playoffs.
And I used to think Rejean Tremblay was nuts forecasting that this team would end up in 9th place. Sigh.

Exactly. 1:30 to go, down by a goal, faceoff in the offensive zone and there's no timeout, no pulling the goalie, and he puts out Stewart/Kostopoulos and Lappy??????? Then waits for over a minute before they leave the ice and he sends KOIVU'S LINE OUT THERE????????
AK46 and Plekanec were the line that scored all 4 fricken goals and he doesn't put them on the ice in the last 2 minutes of the game???????
The team has a grand total of 6 fricken shots on net 35-40 minutes into the game and we're going to try to hang this on our goalie???????
The goals scored tonight were deflections and uncleared rebounds mostly, our shot weren't going anywhere near Fleury while Fleury couldn't stop a beachball, and our idiot coach won't put the hot hand on the ice when we need a goal. This team is going nowhere but right down the crapper unless they fire Carbonneau and hire a REAL NHL coach. It's that easy sadly and even more sadly, Carbo and his buddy Gainey seem intent on sitting back and pointing fingers at one player or another rather than realizing that they are losing as a team, largely because the coach isn't putting the right players out on the ice at the right times in the right positions with the right game plans.

I am disappointed in the loss...they could have taken it...at least we know Pacioretty-Plekanec-Kostitsyn is a line to stay...
The loss cannot be hung on Price tonight....the puck was bouncing all over his crease...the loss falls on Koivu's line tonight (which should please the Koivu bashers since the Kovy bashers have had a field day lately)...they were at fault for all 3 3rd period Pens goals...the first on a bad giveaway at center by d'Agostini (when Kovy comes back, Dags loses his spot), the second Koivu tried his best to take the penalty but Malkin got the shot off anyway and the third was a bad line change.
The only positive is that they still did not give up...and came back from 2 down...Carbo should put Price bacck in.
And as to why the 4th line was on...both Koivu and Pleks lines were gassed, they both had long shifts right before...so they needed a rest of some kind....that is why, it is not because of Carbo's stupidity, he really had no choice, the top lines could barely skate anymore.

Is anybody but me ready to call it quits on Price? Carbo should have pulled him after 3. Halak is a great goalie and has confidence. If Gainey and Carbo keep waiting for Price to pick it up, it is going to be and early summer for the Habs. It has got to be frustrating for the team to score 4 goals and Price lets more in again. Halak or a trade for someone else will have to carry them down the stretch.

For all of you Carbo aplogists out there...With one and a half minutes left and trailing by a goal, Carbo throws out the third line...as well, he leaves a seriously struggling Price in net despite 5 goals against.
Two things need to happen:
1. Carbo needs to go. I like and respect him, but he is not a good coach. He is making fundamentsl mistakes that are costing us games. The time to change him is now, while we still have a chance to salvage the season.
2. Price needs to be sent to the minors to find his game again, because it is lost. He may very well be our future, but he is certainly not our present. We need to bring in a veteran goalie to compliment Halak for the rest of the season. I believe we have let in 63 goals in our last 15 games. That is not NHL goaltending, folks. Compare that with Boston, who has let in only 131 for the SEASON (58 games played so far)!
The time for change is upon us. Gainy must just admit his mistakes, and move on. Carco can be moved at a new position.

3 wins in 15 games.
3 points out of a possible 12 points on this road trip.
players got away from the defensive game what can you say.

the problem is carbo. 1:32 to go and his answer is put lapps line on and then their worst line of the night saku's. Now thats really gonna tie it up. They couldnt put the puck deep to try for a faceoff. Carbo has to go.

I can see Price here for one more season, then off like a hebrew's foreskin. Pittsburgh with fleury will suffer the same fate. Thank you Chicago. Thank you!

Habs now is the "tylenol" in the League. If a team has problem, go to meet Habs, no matter offensive problem, defensive problem, or unknown problem, Carbo will help 100% cure it, guarantee!!!

What a mess!!.... (shaking head in disbelief)
Submitted by Marty on Thu, 02/19/2009 - 22:31.
Wow, I'm glad that's over. That was painful....
PIT shouldn't be proud of that win and the Habs should really consider keeping Halak in nets...

coaching problems in montreal???? leave price in so he can work through it. plain and simple. for the most part price sucks. he has flashes of brilliance but other than that he's very weak!!! ride halak for the rest of the season.
Submitted by nutsacks on Thu, 02/19/2009 - 22:28.
another loss, go figure. send price home too.
Submitted by nutsacks on Thu, 02/19/2009 - 22:24.
Ya, he could be the clown. he's really looking like the chokin' one right now.

Price needs a nice long stay in Hamilton. Maybe he can join the rodeo

put halak in.....carbo needs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carbo's changing goalie bottomline: 7 goals letin.
Submitted by Clay4bc on Thu, 02/19/2009 - 22:20.
Agreed! Goalie lets in 5 goals, it's a no-brainer to make a change. Carbo needs to think more!
