Jordie Benn Gets Scratched And Jeff Petry Still Gets A Pass?

By -

Now I understand that we have injuries, and Petry is getting more ice time than he normally would....BUT...lets get real here.  The guy has amassed 22 points so far this year, and for this Habs team, that's impressive.  However, his defensive play is horrendous.  He's a -22 this year and a -93 in the NHL.  

 C'mon man if you want to play wing, play wing.  Can you learn to play centre even?  I heard we need a centre.

 Benn on the other hand has 10 points this season (a shut down defenseman) and an even 0 rating. Through 363 game in the NHL he's a plus 6.  

 For a team that is near the bottom in the league in scoring maybe a shut down guy would help you win some 2-1 games?

 However, with the tank being ON this is a great move, and therefore I must support it in these chaotic times.

 TANK TANK TANK.

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

Where did a decade go? I remember this game, and basically being on my knees throughout most of it.  When Laich scores the late goal in the 3rd I almost hurled, and then on top of that we take a penalty! The ride Halak gave us in 2010 will never be matched!  41 saves in a Game 7! No idea how Sportsnet isn't airing this one tonight!?  I'm surprised they aren't airing random 2016 Blue Jays baseball games instead. I don't need 80s and 90s game all week.  Mix in some modern classics like this!
