Post-Game Talk: Monty shines in chippy OT loss to Greasebag Panthers!

[Habs13]

No push back from sad sack Canadiens. Pushed around again.

 

[sukimono]

Most mad I've ever seen Monty, guy is usually a teddy bear.

That's precisely how i've been feeling about the guy for the past 2 years costing us either Bédard/Fantilli/Carlsson

 

[Tyson]

Amazing how insignificant Anderson is game in and game out

 

[le_sean]

This is my reaction to St. Louis everytime Gallagher is given icetime

 

[Habs13]

...that's what I've been yelling at Gallagher all season long!

 

[HelloBellyvo]

We could have won that game

 

[HabbyGuy]

Most mad I've ever seen Monty, guy is usually a teddy bear.

Wanted to beat the team that gave up on him.

He did all he could do, he played very well, soft goals or not, he kept them in it tonight.

Were you also pissed at Suzuki and CC for torching the league in the first half of the season which also "cost us" one of those guys?

 

[OldCraig71]

It was much better than my prediction of a 6-2 Florida win, probably the best game they played all season.

 

[WG]

I was entertained. Team played hard, fun game. We just need about 7 new forwards for the bottom 9.

 

[Redux91]

Could of been waaaaay worse lol

Big game from the Capt
Slaf played really well too
I liked Guhle too I don't care
Love Arber

Habs in recent years have been embarrassed many times in that building, tonight I was happy to see the opposite.

 

[Rapala]

Suzuki continually puts himself in winning positions it's just too bad we can't get him the puck when he's W-I-D-E open.
Twice tonight he would have been in on clear breakaways if we could execute a simple pass.
I really wanted him to get that fourth point and become a PPG player after 60 games.

I do love the offense. Sure, some frustrating goals at times but it's not on the same level... as long as we manage to suck in our own zone. Too many solid veterans on D. That is such bad tanking.

 

[OldCraig71]

Right in the fookin head!

 

[Don D]

When a team relies solely on their goalie to win games, it is not a serious playoff contender. Habs are what they are, a competitive team when the goaltender outperforms the opponent. Hopefully another draft and the maturation of prospects will result in a serious playoff team.

Yup at least they showed some backbone.

I'm kind of happy. Florida has been shit kicking us in the teeth the last 2 years. The boys finally had enough of it & came to play a hard, tough game.

Suzuki, Slafkovsky, Montembeault, Xhekaj, Guhle, Savard & Matheson all played extremely well. Newhook, Roy, Caufield, Evans & Kovacevic all had good games too.

Suzuki, Newhook, Caufield, Slafkovsky & Roy will all be part of the core moving forward. Add Dach and we have half a team upfront. We definitely need more forward depth throughout the organization.

Our specialty teams need to be fixed this summer. The PK is ugly, and while our PP has improved tremendously in 2nd half, it's #1 in NHL for giving up SHGA. We need some new assistant coaches.

Montembeault was outstanding again. I loved how we played OT for the most part. Team attacked the net.

Onto Tampa Bay.

After Evan Rodriguez nailed him with his head down no doubt.

I just don't see why Monty is the only one getting shitted on for ruining the tank. Suzuki has been insane this year but people aren't mad at him for ruining the tank. Not to mention that it also seems like people are looking forward to Monty potentially falling apart when we are competitive.

 

[Tyson]

Roy played 8:39 and the game tonight looked too fast for him. Not a big deal as he is developing but tonight you could tell he wasn't comfortable

 

[OldCraig71]

After Evan Rodriguez nailed him with his head down no doubt.

I feel bad for disliking Gallagher but it has more to do with Bergevin than him. He looks really bad out there, he needs to retire but I know it won't happen.

 

[Redux91]

Amazing how insignificant Anderson is game in and game out

If we can see it,

Imagine what the scouts are telling the GMs

Fair point. It sure isn't all about Monty and it's not like the guys will be losing on purpose... i just find there's still too much talent on the ice and indeed that is not on the players.

 

[Rapala]

Barkov was my favorite prospect in 2013 draft. Slaf have potential to become that type of player in 2 years. Big player and Two-Way beast

Yeah KK have compared to Barkov aswell, but seriously. No comparison with Slaf and KK. Slaf will be a Barkov type of player for Habs!

Suzuki played him even up tonight despite giving up the shortie which was no fault of his.
He just capped off the best month of his career despite losing Monahan.
That is demonstrating awesome leadership. Great Job.
