Post-Game Talk: Against all odds, Habs beat Dallas for their new GM

[MarkovsKnee]

OK I'll spell it out. Dogging the puck means getting dirty trying to create turnovers and engaging the opposition. Something JD won't do.

Dogging it where I'm from means being a lazy, procrastinating, indifferent non-working asshole. "That guy ain't doing shit! He's dogging it!"

I was seriously confused too. Lol

For those mentioning that the Stars offense looked bad, they were missing Jason Robertson who is arguably their best forward.

They got 50 shots. Their offense looked fine. Monty stood on his head.

 

[Durvann]

So happy for Montembeault, he finally gets some goals on a good performance. As much as I feel Kulak has been solid all year, not seeing him Armia Niku, Belize, Paquette and sadly Caufield all felt refreshing. Clague is not that bad of a replacement, perhaps a lateral move but has seemingly more upside.

Anderson has been cheating a lot though, playing soft with he end of his stick trying to sneak to the offensive.

Lastly, after seeing every game this year I think I get why people dislike Hoffman. He's just so soft and fancy. He's trying to interrupt plays and saucer passes using his stick instead of using his body. Reminds me of Domi and Alex Tanguay but these guys had better anticipation and hand eye skills.

 

[Habs]

Combination of missing Price, Weber & Edmundson. Price is very important defensively & offensively, that first pass helped a lot.

A young (and improving) Romanov, a soon-to-be-leaving Chiarot, disinterested and probably injured Petry, and the rotting corpse of David Savard can only do so much.

I can't belive how bad it is. Love Romanov, that's it. Clague the Plague , its no accident that tool was placed on waivers.

 

[Adriatic]

Too strong. With a full squad we win 7-0.

 

[Runner77]

At least they worked hard and looked like they gave a damn, that in itself is a win.

Trying to impress the new GM? Auditions are on.

Game started just before my bed time, so I didn't see it.

But Monty with 48 saves....

 

[WeThreeKings]

Certainly not a win that says the Habs are turning the corner.

They lose that game more often than not.

 

[NMacrules]

Montreal is going to win themselves right out of a good pick

 

[GrandBison]

They look like they were back to a more aggressive coverage on PK, like last year... or it's just Dallas that was that bad...

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah, a game they were outshot 50 to like 20 with Dallas hitting 5 posts and Montembeault going prime Hasek is totally sustainable.

Also I can't fathom the record we would need and other teams to pick any later than like 7.

 

[MXD]

What a hughes win! I kent believe it.

Dad vibes

Personally, I don't mind Clague. He's got flaws but I think he's a slightly better version than Mete to be honest. Can provide value for us during rebuild years

 

[beowulf]

Oh well can't lose them all.

True hence the term “Dog Days” But the original English connotation is derived from the fox hunt. Think of “Dog on a Bone”

 

[Tyson]

I think we’re due for back to back to back wins.

Avalanche are unbeatable on home ice.

Bergevin's record this year: 6-15-2

Record with no GM: 1-10-3

Record with Hughes: 1-0-0

Not me. At one point I remarked on how Romanov looked like he was defending by himself when paired with Clague. It was fun watching Roope Hintz blow by him like he was standing still. I’d be surprised if he’s with us next season.

I was wondering about Niku and Clague and if they are back. I'd being them back to allow Guhle, Norlinder, and Harris to develop properly.

During a tank year and rebuild years to come. I'd retain Clague for those years. Helps our tank and he is a piece we can use on the PP point. Nothing to brag about but avoids us trading for someone or signing someone we regret. Cheap option

 

[Habs13]

Was nice to see the guys show some heart and fire, for once this year. I dislike Drouin, it's no secret, but I was glad to see him stand up to Seguin for what he did to him... a little too far maybe, but still, good for you, Jon.

I'd waive both Niku and Clague and if they clear, keep them in Laval as depth and see if they can work out their flaws. I doubt there's much league interest in either of them though.

At this stage, Not sure they a lot more where they already are. Guys like this provide value from 25-30 range if they mature. Think Beaulieu and Tinordi as depth pieces.

All I know is I don't leave open spots for Guhle, Norlinder, Harris to win jobs easily. If we are rebuilding, retain Niku and Clague for roster spots.

Yeah, hopefully part of the new regime is not rushing the kids. Let them learn in the AHL, together, as a team. Then, when they come up, they already know each other and will feel more comfortable having playing partners they know, better skills, and more confidence. I hope they do this right! I think it depends on if the media allows the team to properly rebuild. Lets build a strong base and not just a wild card, bubble team again.
