Great game by Slaf. Keep him on the top line.

Agreed.

 

[donghabs98]

At least Leafs and Sens lost too

Awful game. Usually what happens when a #3 D is your #1 by default.

Should have happened earlier. Anderson was such a drag on Slaf. Give him 2 skilled players and he looks so different

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

At least Leafs and Sens lost too

Yeah, sure

 

[Zilo44]

Curious how Slaf looks better when centered by Dach, Suzuki or Monahan

 

[FLHabs]

Even with the lost, the play of Slaf on the 1st line was so encouraging this game feels like a win hehe.

MSL needs to have a talk with Anderson and Matheson because they're both major anchors right now.

Hey at least there was no cannon...or "end of penalty" jingle

Habs are no longer the team that allowed the fewest amount of 5vs5 goals this season.

 

[overlords]

Newhook is tiny Anderson without the physicality. Skates in straight lines and loses the puck as soon as possible.

 

[CHfan1]

Good to see Slafkovsky finally get a goal.

Matheson lead the Habs in ice time and Anderson was 2nd for forwards. Both didn’t deserve the ice time they got and both should not be on the power play.

 

[Chadstudsky]

Don't look now but Gally on pace for a 30g 50pt season

 

[OldCraig71]

We lost, oh well, on to the next one. In other news, the Leafs lost their 4th in a row and Edmonton with two of the best players in the league are a tire fire and we don't have anything on the roster that compares to those two teams.

And Anderson is Big Anderson without the physicality ?

What does any of the Habs coaches actually do or teach this team? I mean, I hope nobody is going to argue that Burrows delivers any kind of value. But honestly, what does Robidas teach? The D has no idea about positioning, clearing front of the net, taking puck out, making a pass... like literally nothing. They all get turned inside out by scrubs like Kayrou. What does Marty teach his team other than words of encouragement? How about that red haired guy... forgot his name.

I get the lack of talent and all but there is a way to make lack of talent suck less. And most importantly teach them something. MSL and his crew's time has passed. Time for some new blood behind the bench.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

The most penalized team in the league didn't take a penalty, had 4 pps and still lost.

You gotta start looking at Burrows and have agreed to not renew his contract.

Brutal defense tonight
Watching and letting odd man rushes
Letting anyone go to the net
Very soft
What's happened to Anderson?
Will he score this season
Very soft play by him

 

[Paddy17]

That was just a brutal game by Matheson... constantly curling away from the puck carrier with one hand on his stick, taking himself out of the play each time. And the decision-making in the O-zone and PP has been aweful.

Anderson possibly played his worse game as a Hab. He was ECHL level tonight.

Are we still in da pay off??

Not many coaching staffs in the league could navigate icing a defense with 1 player that has a full season or more in their resume.

Context. As long as you ignore it, your takes will ring shallow
