Happy with the score

Montoya looks like a reliable backup so far.

Yay.

Pacioretty is better to wake the **** up. Mister captain coasting.

 

[sharks9]

Who says we need Price to win?

 

[Subbaman]

Montoya was solid.

Good thing we're keeping up with the power houses in the division in the standings

 

[Fazkovsky]

after gally deflected weber pass shot, im convinced we did the right thing to trade SUbban. Besides SUbban's speed and his lobs, Weber is a SUPERIOR player

 

[Hannibal]

Poor Radu and Lehkonen. They both are stuck with Plekanec the offence black hole.

Wouldn't be HF without anger towards our players after we win the first game of the season by 3 goals.

 

[Whitesnake]

Pacioretty is better to wake the **** up. Mister captain coasting.

That seems to be the new Pacioretty now. He'll be lucky and good in some games and scores 2. But he will not wake up. He is what he is.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Captain Empty Netter looked downright rabid trying to get that empty net point.

Otherwise, sloppy game but I dig it. 49 more wins to go.

Fun stuff with the GDT - who was it with the Ghetto joke?

 

[Andy]

Fun game. Habs played well. Hope Mitchell is alright

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Pacioretty is better to wake the **** up. Mister captain coasting.

Pacioretty and Plekanec embody exactly why this team has been mired in mediocrity. Their playoff production speaks volumes..

 

[Jaynki]

Weber with close to 25 min TOI.

Big hits.

Clutch play for the third goal

+3.

Quietly had a very strong game

Montoya very solid. Didnt let À lot of re bound. Some key saves.

Lehkonen and Pateryn stood out for the good.

DD, Plek and Sergachev stood out for the wrong.

 

[Nicko999]

Seriously, how ****ing awesome is Gallagher!!!

 

[Whitesnake]

Stupid slewfoot by Shaw at the end of the game. This guy sometimes....

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Seriously, how ****ing awesome is Gallagher!!!

He and Galchenyuk are our best forwards, it's not close.

 

[Hullois]

Good start! 4 - 1 vs Buffalo

To be honest, the only player I didn't like was Patches.

Other than that... One hell of a game by Montoya. Byron with a great game. Serge with lots of things to learn.

Good first game overall.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Sergachev had a rough game and Plek was pretty invisible.

 

[Whitesnake]

Pacioretty and Plekanec embody exactly why this team has been mired in mediocrity. Their playoff production speaks volumes..

Yep. Seems we don't have the right to talk about trading them though. Somehow, they are too good so that we could even just wonder what we could have for them....

 

[frapp10]

Sergachev is still a junior hockey player

 

[CupInSIX]

iffy game get it out of your system. A whole week between preseason and game 1...next one has to be better.

I hear the Senators are giving out goals like candy so no excuses.

It remains to be seen how patient Mickey T can be with these defense pairings...

Poor Radu and Lehkonen. They both are stuck with Plekanec the offence black hole.

It's Lehkonen who couldn't convert on his scoring chances...

 

[deandebean]

First game. Doesn't mean much. But number 14 needs to wake up.

 

[hototogisu]

Good: Gallagher Montoya Emelin Byron Lehkonen Pateryn

Bad: Sergachev Plekanec Pacioretty Desharnais

Everyone else was OK. Sloppy win but I'll take it.

 

[Adam91]

Apparently Shaw had a 5 minute major and a game misconduct at the buzzer. Is that an automatic 1 game suspension?
