Post-Game Talk: Why point ? Always need more time..

[Rapala]

Yeah I have to say I was a little confused to see him out there in OT.

It wasn't Evans who was in no man's land when the puck got turned over it was Anderson.
He's the one I seriously question. A north south guy who does not know how to make himself available is not the answer in OT.

 

[Gustave]

I agree with most here regarding Xhekaj, while still having a circus in the net plus an obvious overcrowded D corps.

We should end our weird fixation on having more assets than spots and just play the ones you want to develop.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Because he's legitimately the 5th or 6th best forward in a 3-on-3 situation.

Sadly true. But when you see Suzuki, Cole, Slafkovsky, Monahan. It's just shocking to see Evans out there.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

When is Newhook due back? I'd love to see him with Suzy and Cole.

He's just started skating. He's still 3-4 weeks away - late February/early March.

Yeah, Newhook with those 2 could be interesting. He brings a ton of speed & isn't Anderson.

Anderson should never play OT. Evans is at least trustworthy.

No disrespect to Evans. I was just surprised to see him in OT. Sometimes I forget that we don't have much depth at forward.

Yeah people are blaming Matheson for the OT winner. But Anderson is the one who trapped himself behind the net. Causing the 2 on 1. Which anyone who has played D. Knows that Matheson did what he was supposed to do. Take away the pass, and allow the goalie to handle the shooter.

 

[Rapala]

He could take a draw and let Ylonen on or something

Ylonen should see the ice 3v3 long before Evans or Anderson.

Oh I was hoping to hear early February.

Agreed, I think he'd be a much better fit than Anderson. Hell me or you would be a better fit at this point lol

No, his timeline is 3 months, and he got injured in early December. It would have been nice if he was back after this break, but he's still aways away.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Oh and who is the kid we brought up from Laval to play 4th C? He didn't play much, but I liked his game.

Damn, I guess it shows that math isn't my strong point lol
Thank you.

Condotta. Big, strong skater brings good board work.

 

[Habs10Habs]

I hope he stays up. I like that he adds some "grit" to our 4th line.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh, and I never miss Gallagher at all whenever he's out of the line-up. Too bad because he was one of my favorite players at one time.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Look at Slafs progression since the beginning of the season.

He's barely played a seasons worth of games and is 19 years old.

The kid is going to be so very good.

He's noticeable in a good way for sure.

Beast Mode on Baby!

It took a vintage Crosby pass to tie the game and thought the Habs were the much better team in ot but...that 's the way overtime goes. And that was a must game for Pittsburgh if they are to stay in the playoff race. Not the most entertaining game for sure but the Habs were in it all night.

Edit: And Lars Eller 1,000th game. nice career.

That move he made 1 on 1 really impressed me. You can see his confidence growing each and every game. He's even starting to throw his weight around in the corners. At this pace, can you imagine how good he could become?

That was sick. There is no way in hell that Crosby had a chance to look before that pass.

Anderson with the perfect man to man coverage on that goal
Unfortunately he forgot the most important task which is to tie up the opponents stick.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Dead horse Gif

Don't understand why we cant just lose in regulation stupid at this point

Have you ever heard of fans?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'm fairly certain Malkin was totally pissed at Karlsson on one of their PP. Staring daggers at him when he returned to the bench.
What a horrible horrible signing.

I thought he’d be amazing there.

Wrong.

 

[Habs13]

Guess I chose a good game to miss eh?

 

[Jaaanosik]

Slaf with 5 shots!
Nice!

Habs had 27 shots.
Slaf 5, Monahan 5, Armia 2
'The first line' - 3 total

Why title ?

Shooting or passing, don't believe there is anyone close to his skill level on the backhand then Sid in his era. It's a bit of a lost art.

Overall it wasn't a bad game. I definitely saw a lot of positives.

He's definitely an opposing player that I've watched, that I'll be telling my grand kids about. Agreed, it's a very hard skill to obtain. It just shows how much work he puts into his game. I remember when he first came in the league. He was worse than Dach on faceoffs. Yet tonight at 36 years old, he schooled Suzuki on faceoffs.
