Post-Game Talk: Habs come back to beat Sens, 8pts ahead of Cgy, 2 back of Wpg

Oilers get a 2nd ENG! 4-1 Oilers.

I don't know if it's because their team sucks and their season is basically over, but MAN the Flames GDT was dead. Like 1 post every 3 minutes. We have pre-season and AHL GDTs that get more traffic than that.

Someone on another forum managed to freeze-frame the perfect image from Caufield's goal celly, in order to generate ... Troll Caufield.

Where's Moen in Glory when you need him. We need that troll face on him right now!

Moen is Gone

I still love that one PGT from like 6-7 years ago where we all exchanged Twitter handles

I forget who said it, but "Moen in Glory is now following you. Oh ****" is one of my favourite HF posts of all time

I haven't been overly impressed with somethings DD has done but this overtime has shown me that he'll grow on me yet.

 

[Capz]

I have to see more of Merrill.

But for the forwards, I'd swap Gallagher and Anderson. Gallagher would be great for Caufield and KK.

Agreed Merrill should play hes solid on the back end

Flames have a different site, not too many on HF. Still nobody posts like us complaining at everything Myself included

Timmins had to be pumped seeing Caufield get the OT winner while on the ice with Evans and with Primeau in net.

I wasn't a fan of Chiarot and Danault out there but props to Dom on putting Evans out. His speed is well suited for 3 on 3.

 

[jaffy27]

We need to extend Perry

After the expansion draft.....I’d sign him 2yrs at 1.25m$ plus bonuses

 

[jaffy27]

Caufield needs to move out of the YMCA and find an apartment. He's movin' on up like George Jefferson!

About the same height too.....what a great show that was!!!

 

[MasterDecoy]

A Pierre Houde Et Le But would've been epic on CC's goal

Oh god this

I've already picked out a nice housewarming gift

 

[MasterDecoy]

When i watch Caufield, he reminds me of Matthews of instinct about scoring. He is going to be amazing player for Habs!

Woah slow down there buddy

 

[Stive Morgan]

Reminds me of watching the 2016 draft with my Canuck fan friends

"The Vancouver Canucks select from the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League"
"YESSSSS"
"Olli Juolevi"
"WHAT?! ......not Tkachuk?"

 

[tooji]

something about weber getting injured that gives petry special powers

 

[JianYang]

Pretty obvious no goal. Perry's skate in the paint directly impeding the movement of the goalie.

Did you look at the events leading up to how he got there?

 

[JianYang]

Great to win. Three things though : please put a quick skater PMD with Chiarot, the lat two games should have proven that this Weber Chiarot pairing indeed is a problem. Centre coverage on both OTT goals is bad. NHL must clear the goalie interference rule because Gustafsson was really at the edge of the blue paint and Zub prevented Perry to get out of the way.

Also, Habs need to improve their shooting skills ( esp KK Anderson Danault)

Chiarot Romanov isn't an answer either.

We wanted the chiarot we saw from last year, but we are getting the chiarot that we were warned about at the time of the signing.

I am not sure I got the hype from last year. In my opinion he was true to what he always had been, a good 5/6 physical shutdown D with no offensive output and no transition game (and limited speed). MTL was really bad last year, maybe his performance was highlighted because everything else was so bad...

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Now what do you do when everyone’s healthy? Personally I’d rather have CC in the lineup come playoff time than Dru and Byron. Obvs Tatar and Gallagher need to play

 

[MasterDecoy]

CC has now 50% of Drouin's goal total for the season, to put things in perspective for those of you that think we are too hard on JD.

Not being a is hard eh?

He had a decent ''year'' for his kind of talent last season , that's why people saw more into him , but he's kinda back in his original form. He changed his playstyle with Weber absence and you can easily tell.

 

[McGees]

Ooh love rewatching this...

Last year, he looked like a viable 2nd pair guy, who you can put in the top pair if you're in a bind. The problem was that the habs used him with Weber too much because of a lack of depth, and that carried over to this year. He showed a half decent shot, and didn't look out of place in 3 on 3 OT, potting at least a couple goals there. 9 goals on the season, and he had a good shot at hitting double digits had the season not been interrupted by COVID.

This year, he really doesn't look like he has any business being more than a bottom pair guy. He looks alot less decisive this year, but I kind of felt like last year had the potential to be a mirage given how he was advertised at the time of the signing. We will probably not see that form of Chiarot again.

Full marks for battling back in the 3rd after a pretty flat start and great to see DD put Evans and CC together at 3-on-3, maybe he’s finally unlearning some of Juliens coaching philosophy or just running out of the normal tried and failed options. Happy to see CC get the first of hopefully many
