The 2015 Sens are not the 2014 L A Kings Agreed....but if the Sens win this one, with us playing as we did in Game 4...all bets are off. If we lose 4 straight to the Sens, then we should also be losing 3 coaches.

If we lose 4 straight to the Sens, then we should also be losing 3 coaches. we should already be losing one coach. or is he coaching? that's my question. do we actually have a PP coach? 'cause if we did, you'd think he'd do something about the powerless play we have.

Goodness gracious. All this doom and gloom over one loss. My but aren't we are a fickle bunch of fans.
In the immortal words of Carey Price, chill out guys. It's all over Friday night.
Edit: Right from the start last night I could sense the lack of drive in the Habs and I was pretty emotionless during the game as well. Personally I had a big let down after the game 3 win - just didn't have the energy to get pumped for game 4. I wouldn't be surprised if the Habs were affected similarly (they sure played that way). Now I'm getting pumped for Friday and I'm pretty confident the Habs are too.

The Everett Silvertips were eliminated from the playoffs, bring in Scherbak... he'll add some jump to the team.

I think it was the extra day off….which they used to "relax and unwind" after only 3 games of what's supposed to a long playoff run. Seemed early for a reward, IMO. I hope they stopped by Tremblant on the way back to Montreal…..in order to pick up their legs and desire. I fear they've given Anderson and all the Sens the confidence they needed. A brutal performance last night…considering the stakes….and the fact that Ottawa wasn't exactly up to snuff….and the fact that the first 3 games were hardly blowouts….and the fact that Ottawa has recently "had our number". Man, do I hope I'm wrong.

Ottawa didn't bring it last night either. They were playing for the first goal win it sweepstakes, and had no desire to push the effort to get that goal.

Count me out of the doom and gloomers, i prefer to see the adVersity and way they've found ways to be Victorious all season as a good thing.

Where is Gonchar? Would he not be a good addition at home?

What browser are you using? Firefox has been wonky of late when it comes to displaying embedded content. I use the picture embedding code for proboards in full reply, not 'quick reply', so it should be there. It's Larry the Cable Guy with "Git r done" at the bottom.

That'll do. Not exact same, but the gist. Must be the site hosting my picture. While it's displaying for me, the site may not allow linking or embedding of content from their site.

I wish I could be as optimistic.
If our PP continues to chunk it up, and Max remains in a fog…..I envision another nail-biter that could go either way.
And with our pattern of NOT having the killer instinct…..
The Sens have some life. They're not going away easily.

...it's not gloom and doom... some guys on this team have not entered the playoffs yet... Guys like Plekanec and Pacioretty need to crank up their intensity level by many notches as both are key to the top 6. 4 games in and your most productive forwards are Mitchell, Flynn and Weise... no kidding...

Below is an interesting article that states that De La Rose should be given the opportunity to play a more offensive role. The writer also criticizes this coaching staff for player usage. DLR Should get more offensive opportunities

DLR Should get more offensive opportunities...strange article. I don't quite see what is supposed to be so shocking or incredibly hard to understand in the fact of using your top6 players in offensive zone faceoffs and using your bottom 6 in defensive zone faceoffs.

Well, this is it here, Doc ... your best players simply have to be your best players and other than Price and Petry, we really haven't seen any of that ... I'm wondering if Therrien might have read Subban the Riot Act ... with very few exceptions PK hasn't been a factor in the series thus far ... good to see you checking in, mon chum ... Cheers.

DLR Should get more offensive opportunities...strange article. I don't quite see what is supposed to be so shocking or incredibly hard to understand in the fact of using your top6 players in offensive zone faceoffs and using your bottom 6 in defensive zone faceoffs. I find it kind of strange too, though Berkshire clearly writes with an agenda. But who has been ripping De La Rose? He's maybe gotten some mild criticism because his play has slowed down, but I don't think ANYBODY was expecting him to contribute offensively. He never has, why would he all of a sudden do so in the playoffs?? It would be a nice bonus, but I don't think anybody is expecting it, or criticizing him for not contributing. De La Rose, to me, has appeared a little less poised than he did during the regular season. That's all. I wouldn't say he's playing bad, but that as a 19 year old playing in the NHL playoffs for the first time he's been a LITTLE overwhelmed at times. Not to the point of playing bad, but in my opinion he has not been playing AS WELL as he did during the regular season. The only reason I think anybody would suggest that he be taken out is because the team wants offense, Parenteau is an offensive guy, and De La Rose is NOT expected to contribute any goals in the way that guys like Smith-Pelly, Desharnais, Eller and so on are expected to. So if you want an increase in offense it only stands to reason that of ALL the guys who are not contributing offensively you would consider taking out the one guy who you never really expected or hoped to contribute offensively. The fact that he is only 19 surely factors in as well. At any rate, I don't think anybody is really ripping De La Rose (certainly not the coaching staff) so I'm not really sure what the point of that article is other than to continue Berkshire's quest to prove Therrien and Bergevin are incompetent fools that should never have gotten rid of Diaz and Sekac. I mean, in an article about De La Rose he goes far out of his way (again) to downplay Smith-Pelly's assist? Really? Why? Oh yeah, because it was a terrible trade and Berkshire has to prove it to us again.

This site is analytics heavy and what I find here is that if you are not entirely sold on the topic than you don't what you're talking about. Their dislike of the Smith-Pelly deal is evident - they even go so far as to assign style points on his assist of Subban's goal. It's not enough to get points, you have to look good doing it. De La Rose is a 19 year old played on the 3rd or 4th line. He's not producing points but I'm not surprised by that. I don't need an analytics snob to tell me why. As you said Doc, it's obvious.
