The Habs looked for a third straight win at the Bell Centre Wednesday night facing the Senators. Here’s Brian Wilde….

Hey Brian, I agree on JDLR, but who centers the 4th line if they send him down? Froese? I wouldn’t mind seeing a Carr-Holland-Froese 4th line. If Deslauriers isn’t stepping in when Price is crosschecked in the head, there’s no reason for him to be in the lineup.
Agree, I was disappointed in the lack of retaliation after the hit on Price… Deslauriers may be head shy following CJ’s comments on his untimely fight against the Coyotes…
Brian, I get you not wanting to call our specific members of “the media” but lumping them all together is not fair either. Have heard Lebrun and Gord Miller say positives things lately.
You took the words out of my mouth on the Stone goal. Petry do SOMETHING!!!! In his defence, he’s been great lately.
TOTALLY AGREE on De la Rose. I mean common. WTF. Who does he have pictures of to get such a long, fruitless, look. McCarron is more useful in my opinion and Carr is a no brainer. Which leads to the question, what happens when Lekhonen gets back? I like the top 3 lines right now and feel like Hudon will score. His passing is already impressive. (Doesn’t help that stone-hands Plekanec is his centre). Carr with Lekhonen and McCarron would be better than this pile of garbage on the 4th trio.
No one is lumped together. They know who they are. They know what they said. The people who didn’t say it aren’t confused that they didn’t say it.
I completely agree about JDLR and have for the last 1.5 to 2 years. We have better players waiting and he’s been given enough chances. Also, “Roman Gladiating Bastard”? I love it, this will be my new Sens team nickname 😊
How much defence does a team need? Plek can’t score, JDLR can’t score. Carr should’ve been called up earlier, time for Danny boy to fire up the grill and get hot in the NHL once again. Carr-Shaw-Gallagher, no goalie will be safe. Let’s even out the defence a bit with some skill. #MoarGoals
I like wins as much as any other Habs fan, but I can only take so much of these 2-1, low scoring, sleep-inducing games. The Habs play a boring style, making it tough to watch, but I guess all that matters is the number in the “W” column.
