Brandon Smillie: Canadiens (1-2-0) Host Blackhawks (2-0-1) In Home Opener, Breathe
- Brandon Smillie

no one is panicking, but there is literally nothing else to talk about with this team aside from the fact that they have been worse than anyone imagined through 3 games. whether or not it's a slow start or this team is in fact terrible will be borne out over the next 10 games or so.

also.. wouldn't refer to Schlemko as a key player. he's a dime a dozen third pairing defenceman.

If you read Jose Theodore in the Journal, the finger-pointing in the dressing room has already started. Pax say the forwards can't do anything when the puck is always coming to them on the boards; Price says there are too many loose pucks in front of him and the D is saying the opposing forwards are being allowed to press the defence too quickly. It can only get worse before it gets better.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

That's called 'constructive criticism', it's how problems get solved.

Not finger-pointing..

I think pete26 is the problem around here.

Constructive criticism is made to the other members of your team inside the dressing room. When it's an on the record complaint to the Montreal press it is finger-pointing.

Good constructive criticism!

Jose Theodore is a writer now? That's total BS to sell a piece of poop paper, which it always has been. When a team is losing, there will always be blame to go around. But I am pretty sure this team has enough veterans to not allow the above nonsense to end up in the paper. Besides - Price doesn't say poop like that. Never has. It's not his style.

How does he know these things were said, but not one other reporter, in any language, has the same information?
