Eric Engels: Habs new Leadership Facing First Real Challenge

Bring back Josh

I think the shots were 19-6 for the habs at one point and then the Hawks got 20 straight ... how can you go from dominating to being dominated like that

They could use a Gorges or Gionta. Heck even a guy like Briere!

They normally start by taking dumb penalties...

I'd play Sekac with DD and Pax.
Play the EGG line, last chance Eller.
Bourque out, Plek with PAP and Bournival.

EE, did you ask the players after the game if it was another isolated performance? And how can you not laugh in their face when they say such a thing, when they have not played a full 60 minute game so far, after 13 games?

I'd be OK with that...makes a lot more sense than Weise on the 1st (frank)ing line...

It can't just be frustration.


Canadiens haven't played a full 60 mins yet this season.

Cam Ward would solve all of your problems quite nicely.

When your weak D let offensively talented players control the puck in your zone you can expect some damages. And those lines combos are just nasty. At the end of the day, you come up with the same conclusion when the season started, this team need a top 4 D and a top 6 RW.

Each player should adopt a playing style from an insect or animal like they do in kung fu.
Only then will they have success.
Go habs go!!

whatever happened to that guy?
