trevluk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I haven't seen him do one meaningful thing this game. I thought he was supposed to be a big game player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevluk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Wow, Briere a total n ow show today, including on the penalty shot. That was the worst penalty shot attempt ever. I could have shot it straight into Lundquist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevluk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Laviolette sends out Briere instead of Giroux ????????Was Giroux on the ice during the penalty? It has to be someone from the ice and I think Giroux was on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Briere is sucking bad this year, he has done nothing to help the team. Been pissed at him for awhile now, dude just stands behind the net waiting for simmonds to do all the work. He needs to be bench, I don't care if he wears the A.

I could have shot it straight into Lundquist.I was thinking the ice was probably bad enough that he was forced to shoot. Not the shot I would have liked but I knew he was shooting.However the point remains is that he needs to be the "secondary" scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was thinking the ice was probably bad enough that he was forced to shoot. Not the shot I would have liked but I knew he was shooting.Remember 2 yrs ago when the Flyers beat he Rangers in the shootout in the last game of the year? Where did the shot go? 5-hole. That's where Danny was going and he had the 5 hole. All he had to do was lift the puck over the stick. He didn't get it up high enough.

Vincent05 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 @Phlyer1Yes but Lavy choosed Briere because "he is a natural goal scorer." I would've went with your best player who is Giroux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Lundqvist moved very quickly to close the 5-hole. Briere tried a good shot, but good goalies make those saves more than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briere tried a good shot, but good goalies make those saves more than not.The thing is he didn't get it closed. Danny didn't get the puck over Hank's stick. The 5-hole was WIDE open.

Check out the slow motion replayhttp://video.nhl.com...id=14&id=146678Most good goalie shows you the 5 hole with the stick in front, they want you to shoot it there and they will close the pads quick. Danny must've thought Lundqvist was Bryzgalov in goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskaFlyerFan Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 *************I did not take that into consideration. Does anybody know if Giroux was on the ice?Giroux was on the ice. He made a cross ice pass to Vorachek and Vorachek put the puck on net. You can see it in thebegining of the video link posted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hard to see the puck go into that hole.Vince,It certainly looks like there is no hole there in that picture.I went back and looked at the video (several times). (Elapsed time in the video) 1:00 - When the puck left Danny's stick - HUGE 5-hole. 1:01 - Puck half way between Danny & Hank - Big 5-hole. Sitll at 1:01 When the puck hits Hank's stick - I can't tell if there is an open 5-hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange_crush Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Briere has no chemistry with his linemates, they need to put him with Roo and Jagr.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 If Henrik Lundqvist is showing you five hole on your penalty shot approach you can bet dollars to donuts Henrik Lundqvist wants you to shoot five hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Where the hell is this guy at? Forget JVR, this guy is getting paid 3x more then JVR and has disappear this season. Tonight we had 5 scores and he had nothing to do with it, not a single point. I'm tired of him just standing behind the net while his linemates do all the dirty works and he just watches. If you don't hear Briere's name mention on the broadcast look behing the net, I guarentee you he's there.I know Briere does not play defense but after seeing a 39 year old Jagr backchecks Briere should be able to do the same. I don't care if he's a playoff performer, that's no excuse for cruising through the season. I doin't recall him having a impact to us winning games this year but surely do for losing games.

Hexy27 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 @Vincent05I agree. He's not having a good season at all (at least for him). He's on pace to score 20 goals this year. That's pretty bad for the salary he makes. He deserves more criticism than he gets. I just hope he can turn it on around playoff time.

Right now I see Shelley has more use then him, Shelley will hit, backcheck and get his face pounded for his 1.1 mil. Plus he won't take minutes away from the rookies who all has look good.I would like to see Homer move him somehow and allocate his cap hit to get Weber. I think Briere would fetch a pretty good package to help offset the package it would take to get Weber here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
