Post-Game Talk: Habs blank Wild in A Night of Firsts, 4-0!

[ZUKI]

Yawn... just finished watching the game. Good that the won but come on. Wild is really bad. Like terrible. Super happy for both Mete and SUzuki. Who got the sword? The reaction to Mete's goal was a heartwarming moment. It was super nice to see.

Gotta say that I am seeing same Drouin that was a no show last season. Terrible game by him. Domi also doesn't inspire but luckily didn't need to in this game.

Though Fleury made some mistakes (nothing major) thought his game was good. Level headed, composed, confident. Didn't seem out of place at all. Not worse that Folin in any rate.

Anyway, 2 points is 2 points. On to St Louis who no doubt remember last game and will want to avenge. I say bring it on. Now that Victor Mete got rolling ... watch out.

Oh... and Clod just couldn't help himself putting Cousins on the very first power play. My god.

Is it possible to be more negative , pessimist, annoying and to whine more than you just did in that post, after a 4-0 victory .

Not a doubt in my mind that we will see a different Minnesota team on Sunday, compared to what we saw tonight. There was a game last season where the Habs completely handled Detroit, and I thought 'Wow, this is one of the worst team efforts(Detroit) I've ever seen'. Well tonight's game by the Wild definitely drew a comparison for me. The season is young, I've always had a soft spot for Minnesota, but it seems like their window is closed for now.

Same idea versus st Louis on Saturday. It's probably going to be a tough weekend ahead.

His post wasn't particularly negative...
1) Super happy for Mete and Suzuki.
2) Reaction from bench was awesome and super nice to see.
3) Fleury looked good despite some mistakes.
4) Glad for the 2 pts.
5) Bring on St-Louis.

I mean..sure, little sarcasm in some of the post, some negative points with Drouin, Domi, and the coach...but if you thought his post was so bad it warranted you to whine about it....you're one sensitive cat.

I told you guys you'd like Cousins. He was very good. He needs to stay in the lineup.

The Wild are as bad as I've seen a team in a long time. They have ZERO goals on the rush this year. How is that even possible?

Suzuki is looking like the game is slowing down for him. He has some nice one on one moves. He actually looks better then KK at this point.

KK is really struggling. He looks slow and awkward out there.

Not much can be taken from beating the Wild.

I can give it a try.

Mete named the first star, lol. Nice touch.

Suzuki 2nd star and Gallagher 3rd.

and no nuns were stabbed!

yeah come on! everyone should have gotten the memo to just keep pumping drouin' tires. he deserves it ! look at all that "chez nous" talent !

all the people saying after games 2-5 that it was still " too early" are just people who hate drouin and are not real habs fans anyways.

 

[ZUKI]

I can give it a try.

Good luck ! if you do , you will be in the HFBoards HOF

 

[Saundies]

Lots of weirdly negative reactions to a 4-0 game at home. The Wild are a bad team but we thoroughly dominated them. Does anyone else not remember the game we just had against another bad team that we sucked in (Detroit?)

 

[26Mats]

Prett cool of Dubnyk

 

[Runner77]

Just be yourself. You’re doing nothing wrong if all you’re doing is giving your honest feedback. Just my 2 cents.

 

[Adriatic]

Any thoughts on trying Mete on the powerplay? His finding the slot on that goal was impressive. He's simply more mobile and can maybe change the angles more. Or continue with Weber and duckpins for dollars?

Why?? So teams can cheat on the other 4 guys even more.

Yes, one only has to take a look at your post history to see it's nothing but whining about other posters.

His post was fine.

Yes...and? Good and bad things were mentioned, it's called balance. There's nothing extravagantly negative. You're the only one that whined.

Why are you so negative? Don't see any positive points whatsoever.

 

[Archijerej]

The bigger issue isn't even the price (Brodin is great defensively) and more where you'd want to play him? Because it wouldn't be with Weber. And the Kulak-Petry pairing is looking really good yet again.

I'd play him with Petry. There is a strong possibility it will remain our first pairing going forward, and if that's the case, I strongly suspect we're not going to like Kulak there as a long term solution.

Maybe, but Kulak hasn't given any real indication through his play that he's not effective in top-2/top-4 role in Montreal.

Remember as well that Brodin's UFA at the same time as Petry, so there's a cost element to consider. He's probably worth a Muzzin-like return, but I'm not convinced Montreal's in a position organizationally to make a move like that.

I'm not advocating for Mete but I think the days of powerplays featuring a cannon from the point are rapidly declining. Seems harder and harder to get shots through unless the D gets out of position through rapid puck movement or a funny bounce.

Shot blocking in general is a bane on the entertainment value of the game.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good guy this Devan.

That is awesome. Although I really don't understand how at the Bell Center, the goalie has to sit all the way on the other side of the ice. Place Bell is the same for Laval.

 

[Archijerej]

Maybe, but Kulak hasn't given any real indication through his play that he's not effective in top-2/top-4 role in Montreal.

Don't get me wrong, if Kulak turns out to be a legitimate first pairing defenseman (even if only a complimentary one) , I'll be over the frigging moon. But unfortunately, it's to good to be true.

that game Detroit played well

I think a lot of people are being conservative not to get crazy with hype, we did dominate but like... i've rarely seen a team not show up like Minny did last night, pretty sure we could've won that game, even with @ahmedou in net

 

[jj cale]

I can't complain too much so far, this team competes pretty hard and is able to generate chances(wish we had some more finishers) and we are good at pressuring the other team. We all know what the warts of this team are but if we stay relatively healthy we should be a competitive team all year and once again push hard for a playoff spot.

Note to Johnny D..........................just keep doing what you are doing.

Some people just love to hate and if and when the Habs win a cup,people will be ragging on how they crack open the champagne. lol.
