Karine Hains: Game 38: Canadiens vs Lightning AKA Crashing Down and Prospect Watch Day 3 If you're both a Team Canada and a Habs fan, today must have been a tough day for you...

Tampa came out firing on all cylinders in the second period.....but what sunk the Canadiens was how soft Kulak and Petry played. Goals were scored because they missed their assignments or were standing around letting smaller players own the net in front of Price.

2 weird bounce goals and a softy under Price's arm...so it wasn't a blowout it appears to be on paper....if Petry s going to go back to his soft ways.... move him.

Brutal loss last night...what was soft...was the Habs response to the torrid turn around from the Bolts in late 1st and early second...first Sergachev creamed Domi at end of 1st and they did nothing..Sarge cross checked Domi into the goal...they melted in 2nd..and in 3rd Joseph took a shady hit at Fleury for a boarding penalty and the Habs did nothing.....this team is SO soft...they need size.....the speed guys aren't enough...and sorry but Domi coughs up the puck way too much...Drouin 2.0

It was a pretty even game all around. Vasilevski was just a bit better than Price. Price tends to always give up 2-3 softies in that arena.

Worst part of last night though was Jordan Weal scoring. Just bought himself another month on that top PP unit.

He has 2 PP goals this season, you don't think we should give up on that production do you?

Good point...unfortunately... let’s hope Drouin is back soon and it’s the good version of him that turns up

Backreading? That's for suckers and refs!

It looked like Luc Richardson was running Team Canada's defense yesterday!! Yikes!

And hopefully MB is a seller at the deadline. This team is all over the place and with Weal and Cousins playing the roles and minutes they are.....well that just speaks volumes.

Keep losing.....

This is not the year to (frank) ourselves out of a good draft position.

Drouin, Armia and Byron are injured, that’s why someone guys are playing a bigger role.

I think even with them in the lineup we're too small overall. When the schedule gets tougher and more meaningful, i'm not sure we'll be able to compete....not to mention playoff hockey.

And by the looks of last night....they don't have it mentally either.

I hope i'm wrong, but this team needs better pieces. They've benefited from a very weak and underachieving Atlantic division so far.
