Vanek taking a beating on Coach's Corner. Bickle from Orno Ontario! Lot's of great slo-mo replays of guys crashing hte net super-hard. including that Ranger guy doing it 3 times. Cherry still backing Lucic.... and claiming Markov got him riled up. we get a 30 second slo-mo of the Canadiens/Bruins hand shake session just before Lucic mouthed off. Maclean: Don "has a firm grip on hand shakes here on Coach's Corner". | ||

nice play.... Shakespeare. with all these Canadiens fans claiming Price is "the next Patrick Roy"... i reply this way... "Tokarski is the next Steve Penney" Price springs the Montreal offense so much... his absence is a big loss for both offense and defense. | ||

The Montreal Canadiens are "done like dinner". No Rats in Game 4. | ||

Marleau also has the most playoff goals among all the current NHL players, so he is certainly not a choker. The thing about Thornton is that he's been carrying the team offensively for so long. This makes the team very predictable. The PP haven't really changed throughout the years. They still rely on Thornton holding the puck and setting up players in front of the net. They used to be a team that made the top 3 in PP every year, but it always dropped in the playoffs when they faced opponents who had scouted them thoroughly, and the last 2-3 years it has dropped significantly, even in the regular season. They are too predictable, and it's time that they get back to the basics. Other teams rely a lot more on blueline presence, and that's the direction I think they need to go. The reason why they haven't fixed this hole yet is probably because it never seemed necessary, because Thornton had that ability to create chances anyway. This may not be the case anymore, because many teams have studied their PP and they have fairly effective ways of dealing with it. LA just had to take out Pavelski and Marleau in front of the net, and it crippled the PP. What SJ had to do in response is to fire more shots, slap shots preferably. The problem is that the team doesn't have the tools for that kind of play. And it's not that the current style of making passes to players in front of the net is useless. The problem is that if you only play one way, you become predictable. Replacing Thornton with another forward on the PP will not save this teams PP, in fact it will make it worse. The real issue lies on the blueline. They are moving Burns back onto defence (and not resigning boyle). I think they're going to look to the young blood of Couture, Hertl and Pavelski to step up where Thorton has traditionally been looked at to produce points. Arguably the best teams / Juggernauts are in the west (Sharks, Kings, Ducks, and Chicago), and you can't fault one player for the pitfalls of a team. Everyone has to contribute. | ||
