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

[Cole Caulifield]

watched most of the game but missed the GDT. Didn't think they would win this one. Nice to see him fix the unfixable OT issues. I was about to complain on here about our OT and bang. My dad calls and says CC pots one while my feed is 1 minute behind.

Big question. Keep him up his 9 games and save his 1 year ECL or Don't play him after that? Honestly would like to play him but that extra year might be important given our horrible cap issues already.

I have the same issue. My old man is like 30 seconds ahead and he always writes me on messenger to spoil every goal.

Unsung hero was Primeau. He was very good.

Great comeback. Looks like Petry and Suzuki, when they join Toffoli and Anderson, are essential for this team's success. Who knew?

First and second period were duds without scoring chances. The best players showed up in the third.

On a sidenote, some players should get higher on the depth chart, like Evans over Danault.

Have you all noticed that without Drouin, Tatar, Byron, Weber, Price and Gally... This team is playing better and with more passion. Might be that they "finally" feel the urgency to win games to make the Playoffs OR that this specific group of injured players that happens to me made of mostly of the biggest underachievers this season, was an anchor to this team ??? 35M $$$ in the stands !!!!

I have always noticed that Petry was playing his best hockey when Weber was out of the line up. He really takes charge.

They are not playing better without those players, especially Gallagher

At least they are winning... and are able to come back in games even when trailing by two goals.

Adding Gallagher to this equation is just a horrible take. He’s been out for a while and we’ve been bad for a while. I’ll give him weber.. but Gallagher? Please

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

We can only hope this continues...he did seem to hit a wall about a month ago.....but now, just amazing.
Let the kids play Dom!!
Feel bad for Anderson, his game is gone now that he has Phil as his C.
Hopefully we ge this stuff right, come playoffs....Gally and Tatar back with Phil.

I’m hoping for once everyone gets healthy

Toffoli-Suzuki-Armia
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
KK-Evans-Anderson
CC-Staal-Perry

Are you agreeing with me or did you misread my post?

It will depend in the chemistry.

I have CC in the top 9 over Armia. But if the Toffoli-Suzuki-Armia linexkeeps playing well I have to pull Evan's back ty o the ccx 4th line for CC.

Lol I think I was mad at the post you were responding to. This place is getting to me man. Now people are on Gallagher? Good on you for having eye balls

This is like the third time Suzuki has played his best with Armia. Who knows why, but it’s working. Plus it helps us lengthen out our lineup. Could always replace him Anderson there to give us a more traditional top 6, but right now the goal should be finding a way to get KK going, and hoping Anderson can help.

Get off yur high horses. I wrote "mostly" , not "all'.

We all know that Gally is the heart and soul of this team and when he is not there, the team's record is abysmal ! All the others on my list are indeed underachievers for whatever reasons,

Armia is fairly good glue and he draws a lot of attention. Suzuki's style is sneaky.

Staal and Perry need evans defensive work ethic and skating on that line . Switch evans and CC and I like it

Ya Suzuki needs a big body who can create space. Anderson could also maybe be that guy, but right now it’s helping lengthen the lineup so I’m not complaining.

Suzuki and TT seem to have some excellent chemistry as well. That seems to be the recipe for Suzuki, a high skill guy who he has chemistry with, and a big body to retrieve pucks and create space.

Maybe, but I like the idea of a KK-Evans-Anderson line that dominates in the cycle game.

Anderson doesn't create space, he takes it.

I don’t think the way Armia is playing right now that he can be moved outide the top 9, and DD seems to love him. That would be my forward lines with everybody healthy

Tatar-Dano- Gally
Toff-Suz-Anderson
Armia-Kk-CC
Lehko-Evans-Perry

I broke the button replay on my Computer, Phone and TV.

Key phrase with Armia is right now. Yes, if he keeps playing like this I don't take him put of the top 9. But we'll see...

 

[MasterDecoy]

I know, we all miss him.

I'm no MIG, I have no glory to speak of -- just a rando spending a lot of time on a hockey site.

I can't even pretend to offer a reasonable facsimile but at least, I'm still here.

What happens to MiG?

 

[Runner77]

What happens to MiG?

He’s on Twitter doing his thing. Have no idea why he moved on from here.

 

[1909]

If KK doesn't pick up his game soon, he will be the 4th line center.

Facts.

But if Tatar-Danault-Gallagher don't have it going in the playoffs, I want them broken up. Doing so turned the Penguins series last year. Gallagher would be great for KK.

We've seen Caufield with Danault, Suzuki, and Evans, but not yet with KK. We've seen Gallagher with Danault, Suzuki but not yet with KK.
