Pretty ugly. He should have a fish on it for the way he flops around out there.

It should be...starting goalie for the Oilers.

Ballgame right there.

The Habs are small, slow, tired and can't score. Always a huge thrill for me when they get knocked out of the playoffs.

The fans will be frying Therrien and Marc Bergevin's asses on a very high flame all night on 690 TSN Radio postgame.

CYA Thibs. your offensive system is horrible.

Almost as much fun as watching the Leafs flounder.

Therrien sure...

... but Bergevin too?

Therrien has done a fantastic job with what he has. He has them play a system to get the most out of the players. They have very little offensive talent and were 2nd in the league this season.

I really don't have an opinion regarding Therrien, but the scuttlebutt has been largely negative.

Seems that Bergevin has done a decent job in his short time on the job.

I don't think most of us could tell Petry from Chris Campoli up till a few weeks ago.
Hindsight is 20/20.

Seem to remember JJ having a source citing 'Hawks would be inquiring on Petry. Started watching him in Edm and thought he'd be a Rundblad upgrade and handle 15 mins a nite.

He needs a floor leader who can take over games, not go 7-24 (0-4 on 3s) and get to the line more than 3 times.

There is nobody safe with the fans or media when the Habs lose, its either Stanley Cup or everybody is incompetent and must be fired.

Hell, after they won the Cup in 1971 they demoted the coach to the American League because Henri Richard and the other French players on the team didn't like him.

@Lazerus tweeted: "No surprise, but Bowman indicated the #Blackhawks will not be putting Corey Crawford on the trade block in order to free up cap room." Talk amongst yourselves.
- Marlowe

Bowman indicated??? Mark has to lay off the sauce. SB ain't gonna say poop with the 'Hawks starting the WCF. Besides even if he were to open up, what else he gonna say?

And he'll be in NO or Cleveland next year.

His system extends too far away from the basket and using Noah as the trigger man is kind of asinine.

And the whole foul thing is baffling. A good coach can get calls for his players.

- Elbows15

Leafs suck but they have nothing on the Cubs. Leafs + Blues < Cubs Takes a lot for a diehard fan to say that too. Up 4-0 end 6 tonight so its not all bad right now. Unlike the Leafs and Blues, at least the Cubs look like they're trying.

- StLBravesFan

Watch those teams have a lot of injuries.

Noah is so offensively inept that the Cavs are leaving him alone - the ball just gets to him as a safety valve.

Gibson gettin thrown out didn't help. And no Gasol (offsetting no Love).

No doubt.

He barely played Miritic who was an offensive spark for the team until after he sat on the bench forever. He truly doesn't like young players.

Meanwhile his teams goes for stretches of a baffling number of minutes without scoring?

No way. The Habs have a rich tradition of winning. The Cubs not so much. There is virtually no comparison that can be made between the Candiens and the Cubs.

May want to read all that over again. No one was talking about the Canadiens in that context.

And they went from the frying pan into the fire with Scotty Bowman. He didn't take any poop from any of them. Straightened them all out.
