That goal was just completely unacceptable. Iginla was a good 3+ steps away.

And wow they get called for a penalty. And the first one at that

Well that makes two completely unacceptable goals. Julien has to rip them all a new one for that.

Not only did we get the first PP, but it came on a sketchy call too.

Iggy's hit iron in 2 straight games. Frustrating game so far.

Habs have been going for a lot of wraparound attempts this series. I wonder if that's a strategy specifically designed for Tuukka or if they just always play that way.

Marchand with yet ANOTHER dangerous turnover in the defensive zone. Getting pretty fed up with this guy lately.

I was never much of a Marchand fan to begin with.
Feels like Krug's been one of their best offensive players lately. At least he shoots the puck and doesn't screw around.

We're playing like bums, we don't deserve a comeback attempt tonight.

Yes that's probably game over. Unless they finally decide to pull their head outta their asses and pull another comeback.

Don't get me wrong, Price is good but he's not some impenetrable force. But these guys seem to either be hitting the damn post or flipping it straight at his chest. Doesn't help when there have been pucks sitting there and they haven't been able to finish even the open netters


Alsp, do you think Tuukka's been off?

He's really been hung out to dry tonight, it's tough to put much blame on him for the 2nd and 3rd goal.. those were basically shootout style breakaways. Even with the first one, there needs to be SOMEONE on that side of the ice to give Tuukka at least somewhat of a chance to slide back into position on that plate.

But, yeah, he really hasn't made one big save tonight when we've needed it (that I can think of offhand at least). I thinkits totally fair to question if Montreal's in his head.

Why is it that this team feels they don't need to finish their checks when they're on the road? That always ends up leading to more aggressive offensive chances too.

I love Soderberg's aggressiveness but nobody on this team has more wtf moments than him. Dumb penalty.

A high stick that draws blood... and no penalty? Shouldve been a double minor.

This 100%. Although I didnt get to watch game 3, thank god.

Next one is a must win, head back to Boston at 2-2 and I will be content. This one was always going to go the distance. Take the next game and try win on home ice.

Game three wasn't worth watching to begin with. They're too content with it being a tie game and then only turn it on when they're down. Marchand and Krejci need to start doing something. Marchand in particular because he has ZERO goals in the playoffs. I think Krejci would be doing better if Lucic and Iginla would show up and finish, but he still hasn't been up to what he usually is.
