Habs-Sens

Some observations on tonight's Montreal-Ottawa game:

• Claude Julien has to start instilling a sense of discipline in his team. The Canadiens probably lead the league in too-many-men penalties, and they got another one tonight. It's embarrassing for a coach to continually get penalties like that, because it exposes the level of disorganization on the bench. More importantly, it's an idiotic penalty that could be avoided.
  
• The Habs seemed to be playing quite lazily, as if they were reserved to losing to the Sens. It's not the first time I've noticed that this season - against other teams as well - and it's an attitude they're going to have to lose if they ever want to win another game this season. It's starting to look like the old days for the Habs, and by 'old days' I mean the decade of futility that was the post-1993 1990s.
  
• When is Rick Green, the assistant coach in charge of defencemen, going to teach his troops, and the forwards too, for that matter, how to cover the man standing in front of José Theodore? Too often this season I've seen Mathieu Dandenault or other defensemen out of position when they clearly could have been pushing an opposing player out of the way, and it has resulted in too many goals against, including at least one tonight against Ottawa.
  

Hopefully these issues will be addressed so that the Canadiens don't turn in another sub-par season. It's getting more than a little frustrating to watch the Habs play and make these stupid, avoidable mistakes.
