Scary how bad that was...

Yup. This was a weird period, no one trying. Just strange. Like Hrudy said in the intermission, Bob is in the dressing room know. He knows who's trying and who's not. Who get's along and who doesn't. If the players wants to pack it in, they will not be in Montreal next year.

As a habs fan I am torn. Part of me is really sickened by the terrible effort and the losses. The other part of me is happy that at least those on this board know now what poor CJ had to deal with night in and night out. Pathetic.

I can't believe this. I was out with my friends and I came home a little later than expected. I turn on the TV and there's 3 minutes left in the 1st and the score is 6-0. My first reaction is "no, CBC made a mistake!" How could our Habs be so bad? I briefly saw the highlights during intermission and they looked like poor goals.

So now I wonder, what do you do with Theodore? No team will want him with his huge salary and lack of production. But Gainey has got to do something or this team will continue to slide.

All I ask is that we don't all start on Theo because of this game. The Habs were completely invisible out there. The puck went right through every one of them as if they were not there. Hard for Theo to stop point blank shots to a wide open net without a single D-man knowing where his assignment is.

Kudos to the 'nucks for NOT celebrating every goal like it were their last. I think they were even shocked at how easy it was.

I actually heard something interesting about Buffalo on THE FAN today. Mike Grier was asked about their success this year especially on the road and he basically attributed it to how well they have gelled as a group. He said they actually enjoy each other's company on and off the ice which has resulted in comfort playing on the road. Something tells me (especially after these past two games) that les habs have non of that.

Self Destruct mode may have just hit DEFCON sh*t.

Something is wrong in that dressing room. This is a "whole" team problem. Bad games happen to teams but this was something more. Something I figure has no quick fix that's for sure.

Are you now reallizing how much team unity is lacking throughout the dressing room!

As Barrry mentioned Souray drops the gloves and creams McCarty and it has zero effect!

The players don't care about each other and it isn't all Ribs fault like you would like us to believe!

Saks has lost the room and respect of his players for whatever reason! It's possible only one player respects him...Rivet!

I think the problem is that there is no one in that dressing room right now that you would want wearing the "C".

I know that it's all Saku's fault and everything, but exactly where do you get such inside information about the players? From what I've actually read and heard from players (other than Ribeiro of course) who have left or all still with Montreal, they revere the guy. I'd like to see some evidence of what everyone is talking about.

Yes, it's obvious something is wrong with this team, but can we not admit that we are basically speculating about what the true problem is? Maybe it is Saku, maybe not...I'd like some real evidence though. Not just, the team seems not to be unified so they must not respect the captain. Or "players have tuned out CJ" or...The truth is, we don't really know what's up. It may well be that CJ was unlucky and was just righting the ship. I think firing him was probably the only move that could be made, but that doesn't mean CJ had necessarily "lost the players"...

good call Plouf, I would love it if someone on this forum had inside info instead of just implying that they do by making comments as FACTS rather than opinions. But sadly, they don't.
