You may dismiss Pacioretty's and Desharnais' contributions if it's convenient to your argument, however you must consider the fact that the Canadiens may not have made the playoffs without them. They came up in December and changed the profile of the team with their additions. At the times of their injuries, both were regulars...good enough to replace the guys who started in those positions at the beginning of the year. So, losing them meant losing regulars and having to replace them with less good versions. No matter when his callup, how can you argue that Travis Moen was a better option on the Gomez line than Pacioretty? Because Moen was there longer? Sorry, not buying that. Fact is, the Canadiens were not able to ice their best lineup. With the exception of Marc Savard, the Bruins were.

Halak will never, ever ...Can I had something here?<br /><br />Halak will never, ever repeat what he did last year. Never. He's good, but that was fluky.<br /><br />Price will be this good year after year, after year. If the team improves, so will the results.<br /><br />Oh, and Eller is slowly morphing into Plekanec 2.0. <br /><br />This club wasn't built for the Cup and they did good. <br /><br />Now, it's Gauthiers' time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-54434133416816165312011-04-27T16:11:25.737-11:002011-04-27T16:11:25.737-11:00I consider losing kind of like a mercy-killing, gi...I consider losing kind of like a mercy-killing, given how depleted the line-up got. Playing a whole round to game 7 will be valuable experience down the road for the young kiddy corps.

Desharnais was even a LATER callup. Using them as excuses is disingenuous as they were not integral parts for the majority of the season. As for players playing hurt well that happens every playoffs. Are you suggesting that Halak had an entirely healthy team in front of him? No comparison? In what respects?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-59730009523541815922011-04-27T15:44:43.852-11:002011-04-27T15:44:43.852-11:00@anon: Yes, the Bruins are not last year's Ca...@anon: Yes, the Bruins are not last year's Caps. But the Canadiens are also a seriously hurt team. The Bs were missing Marc Savard. The Habs were missing Markov, Gorges, Pacioretty and Desharnais, while Eller, Spacek and Wiz were playing hurt.

It was all Halak as he faced a shooting gallery against the MOST POTENT offense in the NHL that year. Yes Price did not have Markov and Gorges BUT the Bruins of 2011 are NOT the Capitals of 2010. The mandate of PG and Price was to IMPROVE on last season. They failed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-91553575995692539302011-04-27T15:30:14.653-11:002011-04-27T15:30:14.653-11:00Thanks for all the fine work again this year JT. I...Thanks for all the fine work again this year JT. I have loved coming to this site to read your insights and have a laugh or two at the wit. Crushing loss. I am proud of the team, but am done with this league. I just found the injustices this year were too much to take. The third goal tonight was the final straw for me. I will not watch another game until Colin Campbell and Gary Bettman are gone. I will always love the Habs, but the NHL wants the young male Ultimate fighting crowd. They can have them. They lost a 40 year fan this year.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848578843572601223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-90334782441299747222011-04-27T15:27:53.891-11:002011-04-27T15:27:53.891-11:00@anon: Halak also had a healthy Markov and Gorges...@anon: Halak also had a healthy Markov and Gorges in front of him for the Washington series. With the defence Price had, he worked a miracle to get them as far as he did. Let Jaro go. It's time.

Halak took them to the ECF that is a fact and you can make all the excuses and colour it anyway you want. Halak was ECF and Price first round exit.<br /><br />Weber scores two goals in limited action in two games and where was he? Gomez as usual is put out shift after shift and is a -3 for the game. JM has to go and take his buddy Gauthier with him please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
