any team with Tsalikis wouldn't have PP woes

lol nice one bro

Yeah he's young.

That said, there's a difference between struggling to score and downright (frank)ing suck.
- TypLeafsFan fan

he's got zero confidence lately

Of course. But Therrien coaches an easy game. Play good D. Use your Vets alot. Fall in love with your grinders.

Oh it will get you in the playoffs.

Plus he's putting on the ice the worst powerplay system I have ever seen.
- Fredo

Use your vets a lot... You mean like Beaulieu? Or Pateryn? Or DLR?
Or leaving Galchenyuk on the ice after he took 3 penalties?
Don't you think he would prefer to fall in love with talented young players who can put the puck in the net instead of guys like Flynn and Mitchell?
Come on...

Yeah he's young.

yeah ok yeah ok yeah ok yeah ok

Would be nice to see anybody we drafted in the last 4 years take a step forward. Right now I only see Gallagher

Beaulieu took huge steps forward this year

Agreed, but he's not going to learn to be a 1st line center playing wing on the 2nd or 3rd lines.

He's into his 3rd pro year.

He shouldn't be struggling that much.

From EE at Sportsnet

Here’s what I gathered from a former long-time NHL official after the game:

1. There will be an investigation into Prust’s comments. There are microphones all over the rink, and the audio is accessible to the League. If Prust’s comments are true, the repercussions could be severe for Watson.

2. Watson is unlikely to oversee another game in this series, regardless of whether he said these things to Prust or not. According to the former official: “I’d be beyond shocked if he reffed another game in Round 2, and definitely not in this series.”

3. If Prust’s allegations are proven false, he’ll be subject to a massive fine for publicly defaming an official.

not while the matter is under investigation.

So the Habs' best players are Mitchell and Petry, and the worst are arguably Galchenyuk and Markov. No (frank)ing wonder they're struggling.

wise move

And we're already heard twice that "this playoffs experience will prove valuable next year".

wise move

yes. as always though you are free (and encouraged) to contact Crime Stoppers with any info

This series is over.

Time to start talking about WTF will Bergefail do this summer to shore up some offense.

I'm really hoping the habs win one, just so I can pick up the extra points in the loser pool.

whatever man I'll just give them to you.

PP i can't argue there. coaching has a huge hand in that failure. but it's not like the Habs have just been sitting back in this series. they're skating and they're spending some time in the offensive zone. but no one makes a play. at a certain point, it comes down to your top players executing plays.
- DoubleDown

They are doing that, drawing penalties and once they realize how pathetic they are on the powerplay they lose all momentum

don't worry. if they come back he will be the first saying he predicted it the entire time.

I did pick Tampons in 6.


Guess I was grossly optimistic.

Same here

i see the Leaf fans have solved the Marner/Strome debate by deciding that they'll just draft both of them
- DoubleDown

It's already been a long off-season. I expect the ideas to get even more ridiculous in the next couple months.
