Post-Game Talk: Habs break losing skid. First win for interim coach.

[abo9]

I'm kind of getting used to the fact that Ottawa sent their... humm... 3rd goalie against us and did not even bother to dress Matt Murray in order to give him a break.
We're that team guys.

But hey we won! We saw some PP goals and KK played a great game

Solid game from Kotkaniemi.

Win wasn’t easy, but two points is two points.

Last season Kovalchuk ended our 8 game losing streak against the Sens and now this season we end our 5 game losing streak against the Sens again.

Thanks Ottawa for saving us and making Bergevin look good.

Habs are playing better defensively, the forwards did a good job providing support in our zone.

 

[nyhabsfan]

We're lucky they didn't play an NHL goalie.

what are you talking about, the Sens goalie played great, the two goals he had ZERO chances on... what game were YOU watching!!!??

 

[Tyson]

Drouin's play away from the puck has really improved. Edmondson, KK were excellent.

 

[1000eeer]

I hope Tatar, Danault, Armia and Byron are on their way out

Tatar could be replaced by Caufield
Armia by Ylonen

And the rest of the story is to be continued..

KK with 12:50

That’s just dumb. Played a really strong game and gets 12 minutes. f***ing ridiculous.

 

[ahmedou]

Full credit to Burrows for this one

 

[blarneylad]

Less than 13:00 for KK, with the great Armia and Lehky.

He plays well with them: "We can't break that chemistry"
He looks lost and plays like shit: "He needs to earn it"

He can't win...

At least we won...

He was on the ice for Gallagher’s PP goal. Then again for Petry picking up an assist. He had a nice feed to Tofolli. Overall good game kid

 

[tazsub3]

kk first star on rds, well deserved yet surprising they picked him lol

 

[le_sean]

Please give KK good wingers. I mean look at him keeping plays alive in the offensive zone by himself. At least Lehkonen tries. Not sure what Armia does. Complete tunnel vision and so soft for someone that is 6’4.

 

[Rapala]

We're lucky they didn't play an NHL goalie.

No NHL goalie was stopping that Petry shot.

 

[abo9]

how are u only going to give KK 12 mins of ice time.

That's his total really? After his job on the PP I figured they'd want him on the ice MOAR

 

[Big Empty]

toffoli our new pacioretty

I think your making an empty net joke but I was actually thinking that the other day.

Toffoli replaces him as a 30+ goal guy

 

[Saxon]

kk first star on rds, well deserved yet surprising they picked him lol

No star on TSN........

Ice of time Centers for tonight
KK 12:50
Dunno 18:36
Suzuki 18:32
Evans 10:59

Lol.

That’s f***ing gross. And really we can’t blame PK time.

 

[philipsson]

A few thoughts on the game :

- Suzuki had a "soso" game, once again (like him a great deal, he's been "just ok" for a few games now)
- Price played well, looked WAYYYYY more confident and did great
- KK was a beast, mostly on the PP. Some sweet setups and he has to carry his line, i really don't like BOTH armia and leky on the same line
- Armia is soooooo useless, like 95% of the time. He had ONE good shift (last one of the game)
- Drouin is playing with some heart this year, and his talent is still there. Good to see
- Anderson will be missed, hope he doesn't miss a whole lotta games.

Overall, team played well and we gotta find more ways to score goals.

GHG !

Indeed, he looked really good, made at least two good passes to Toffoli and Drouin.

 

[OnTheRun]

Lmao, the first star of the game didn't get to play 13 minutes... You sure don't see that every night.

 

[abo9]

You take that back

If Toffoli can become a top goalscorer in the NHL I'll take it

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

No NHL goalie was stopping that Petry shot.

It was about as perfect a shot as I’ve seen.
